Just two corrections… Behike’s do not have Volado in them. The blend consists of Seco, Viso Ligero and Medio tiempo. And rhere is actually an extremely rare Behike 58 that Habanos. S.A. put out for a very select few people to try.
I think the most special cigar I own, insofar as it's the one that I cannot (as yet) bring myself to smoke, is one last 1999 ERDM Tainos. For my money, it's the finest Churchill ever to come from Cuba and it still stings that they discontinued it.
I don’t understand how they can be a good investment if it’s illegal to sell them outside of licensed establishments and auction houses won’t touch them unless you have a full unopened box.
It’s very rare to find a box that is entirely unopened. Even at the importers, they cut the stickers to open the boxes so they can inspect the cigars and make sure they are up to standard. I’ve seen it in action.
This is an interesting video. You speak about cigars being a collectible asset class like wine, but on what platform can they be sold? You mentioned some of the prices, but how can the average person who has collectible cigars in their humidor liquidate them and turn them into cash?
@@pornets understand that they are made to celebrate Mr Padron`s birthday. in 2002. said to be rolled by one man with expert ability. great cigar as all padron`s.
Literally, the only thing im envious of the Brits for.......being able to get Cuban cigars. And then again you go ahead and tax yourselves to death over them 🤣
Can't take anything you say as credible, you think you are an expert but until you smoke Nicaraguan and Dominican cigars for 80% less the cost. Plus I had so many defective cigars from Cuba I decided to stop smoking them altogether . I have been smoking cigars for 55 years and lived in Cuba for two years and Nicaraguan cigars are the best in the world from quality, consistency and rollers nothing can come close at $10 to $20 compared to Cuban cigars overvalued at $80 to $200 just plain ridiculous.
Do you smoke cigars or the anillas? You remind me of a dear wine collector friend of mine, he has all 100 points from Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate, rarely truly the best wines in the world.
"hurricanes and stuff"..lol.Over the past year, I've managed to fill a dedicated humidor with 60 Opus X perfectos (I'm in Ireland).My mate in America said it cost him about 30% more over there.
yeah, as a retired American guy spending $750.00 a month on a daily $25.00 premium cigar isnt possible. my few premium cigars ( padron 1926 and 1964) are a once or twice a month treat for me. my everyday go to stogie is the Padron 1000,2000,4000,5000. etc
After the very bad price increasement of Cuban cigars, after the Chinese holding bought habanos s.a. I’m not longer interested in this wannabe quality overpriced sticks. The Benchmark is set by Davidoff. The Cubans got a lot of work to do to come there beside the „myths“ about Cubans cigars.
