55 Yr Old Pre-Embargo Cuban

Blueface · 08-12-2015, 08:35 AM

Going to kick back later tonight and light up and smoke the heck out of a 55 yr old Cuban I got my hands on 39 years ago or so and have had with me ever since.
Was saving it for upcoming cruise but what the heck, looks pretty good now.

Congrats, Carlos. That Cuban is surely a keeper.

It's a "made in Pinar del Rio" custom blend.
Took a couple of people to make it.

I got flamed for saying the very same thing.

First Pre-Embargo Cuban I have ever seen that actually came with instructions, lots of them, never ending it seems.
Need to make sure I read them well before firing up.

And just when you think you have them memorized, they change.

Review???

You gotta love them middle-aged Cubans. Some are natural and some dyed, but I've never heard much of a complaint about them. Just beware, Carlos, sometimes they start out dry, but if you take your time to let it warm up, well, then it's amazing and will really treat you right. Just be sure to change the position once in a while so that you don't get in a rut - ruts are bad things with older Cubans.

Thanks Mark.
Great advice.
I was going to make sure after I removed the packaging, I would moisten one end really well first before trying to light it up.
Varying positions sounds like a plan for sure.

Just be sure you're careful with the pre-light cut.

Just the tip, you know.

Dave128 · 08-12-2015, 10:36 AM

Moistness is the key.

Gotta lick it before you stick it.
Gotta get it soft n' wet.....
