By now, you guys have probably all read the interview with Kaizad Hansotia that's in the new C.Com catalog. I've got a question about one of the topics they covered.
Mr. Hansotia says he bought 18-year old leaves in 1996 and infused them with a whole bottle of Louis XIII Cognac per box of 20 cigars.
I can't even begin to guess how that might be possible. I mean, even if the leaves were left to age in the infusion chamber for an extremely long period of time, I can't imagine how the relatively small amount of tobacco it would take to make 20 cigars could possibly absorb a whole bottle of Cognac. And remember, 1996 was only what? 14 years ago? In 14 short years those leaves would soak up a whole bottle? And, don't forget, they've been selling HMR's for a good while, too.
Of course, it may all depend on what your definition of 'is' is - or (if your name isn't Clinton) what your definition of 'a whole bottle' is, in this case.
Does this strike anyone else as being odd, or am I just 'picking nits'?
