Choix Supremes are the most flavorless Cuban ever. I have a 2010 box and just reach right past them for other sticks.

I'll keep an eye out for a box.

My contact has an older box but they are pricey.

My supplier (Swiss) usually has them on sale for around $206 a box every couple of weeks. If you can get aged boxes (5 years or older) then certainly they will cost more. I buy more boxes than I can smoke so almost all my sticks are aged.

Box is a 2015 for $365

Same here. I buy and set aside.

Sell off some extras here and there along the way.

Average release at best.

Easy drinker but not very complex.

Batch 6 was the last of the good stuff.

Well that’s unfortunate. Thankfully, my bottle is still unopened. To the trading block it goes!

What are you Puffing on now?

It’s been more than two years since I’ve gotten my hands on a quality box of Short Churchills.

First light of the box, and hoping for the best.
