    Спасибо за видео о моих любимых сигарах. Цены конечно сильно взлетели. Расскажу такое наблюдение. Однажды на отдых в сауну взял такую сигару. В зоне отдыха, а там достаточно влажная и теплая среда, выкуривая сигару получил совсем другой вкус (очень мягкий и более приятный) и очень большую дымность, по отношению к курению на улице или в помещении.И мне это очень понравилось. Друзья мои тоже это оценили. Рекомендую попробовать. Конечно это сугубо мои ощущения.

  • @HabanosChris
    @HabanosChrisАй бұрын

    @AngelOfToxicity I avoided these for years because of the small format. The box here that I reviewed blew my mind in terms of flavor & complexity that let me quickly let go of the fact it was smaller in size. They are delicious as any good large format vitola. So yes, they are worth it. My only hesitation is if you may not get a great box or get a box that needs again etc. But, i've also read on FOH forum from others that smoked these and found them surprisingly good. I saw a website recently asking over $300 for these LOL. And some still have them around $200. i hope this helps you in your decision! Greetings to Portugal from usa!

    Cigar newbee here. How do you know these are not fakes?

  • @HabanosChris
    @HabanosChris3 ай бұрын

    this is a very good question, i started work on a related identifying counterfeits video but yet to finish. It's several factors, there are marks of distinctions that expose poor fakes including redundant hidden micro numbers, black light images, placement in box by gradient wrapper color , online verification, box and cigar band identifiers, etc etc but these can be faked very simply. So at the end of the day, provenance and experience with taste & aroma play most important role. Market is ripe for fakes;The demand much greater vs supply & the incredible profit margins. Hope this helps. There is a naive sentiment that only cohibas are mostly faked but pretty much all marcas and vitolas are often faked sadly. Again, non cuban tobacco and packaging materials are cheap. And if good Rolexes can be faked cigars are child's play. Go to alibaba and you'll see they sell all printed bands & labels w/holograms and all for pennies. Hope this answers! "Newbie" questions are always welcomed. Thanks for watching. 👌😚💨
