    Those gran reservas are pricey. I've seen them for over 100 a stick. That's a nice collection.

    i stayed at the rio, right next to the atlantis, and i was at the havana humidor also. great place, but expensive prices. smoked a fresh house blend off the rolling table which was okay, but a bit wet. i did enjoy a lot of isoms, my favorite being the ryj short churchill. they had a great selection, and i also have single cedar lined leather ryj cigar tube, and a 3 finger robusto cigar case, also leather and cedar lined. great momentos, and great times at the bahamas!!

    have you been playing around in my humidor again? This is the first time I've seen that stick on the right, the cohiba reserva from 2002 other than in my humidor!! Wow, nice collection. I'll have to post a pic or 2 of some of my Cohibas for comparison.

    So I made the claim that I would have to post some of my Cohiba collection for comparison with DD's photo above. I have to say that the 2 pictures make these cigars appear very different! I went 'high definition' so you can see every ripple in the leaf. For looking at an image of cigars on a computer, I prefer the smooth look of DD's photo, as mine look wrinkled and ugly. Mine were in the sunlight in the morning, so shadows picked up on everything. Here it is:

    camgfs.. Quality control was on break when those sticks passed through. ; )
    Or are those the Cohiba seconds I've heard about.
  • camgfscamgfs Posts: 968
    would you be surprised to find out that at least 2 of those sticks come from DD's humidor? It is likely that they are from the same boxes as the pic that he posted! Seriously, they are not seconds. The lighting is the only difference.

    Here is a pic of one of those cigars in a different light, just for comparison:
    Notice the 'smooth' wrapper? It's the same stick as in the group photo. I guess I shouldn't have posted such an un-flattering pic, but I thought it was interresting to have a different view of some of the same cigars.

    CC wrappers are more delicate. They won't look as 'pretty' as an NC but most smoke more pretty.
  • RhamlinRhamlin Posts: 9,031 ✭✭✭✭✭
    That's wild how the light makes that much of an impact on the pics.

    Not to hijack but Alec Bradley has a contest on their face book page. Post on their page a holiday themed pick with an AB cigar and you can win a Fine and Rare.

    I'll take cigars I'll never own for $500 , Alex

    Now to show what those same sticks look like with flash photography (no photoshopping at all, just point and click). I put all of those sticks on the top shelf of the humi this morning after taking the original "ugly" photo. This is the top shelf, same cigars as above, with different lighting. I really didn't want anyone to think that my ISOM Cohibas were that horrible, lol

    Once again, here is the previous pic of the same sticks in a different light. This is how you can take a average looking person and make them look beautiful in a photo using the lighting only to shave years off your subject. Works with cigars too! :)

    Cam I Love the fact that they look the way they do in the light. I have some and they look the same with correct lighting. Shows character.
  • Hmmm great example of lighting there Cam. I know that CC's were used in this particular photo but I'd imagine that Nics and Dominicans would show the same dramatic difference if photographed outside like the CC's were. Id be interested to try this out!! Interesting post for sure Cam...thank you.

    Damn I wish I could find one of those 2003 Seleccion Reserva boxes.

    The last place I know of to have this box, sold me their last one! Yup, that's what they told me. I haven't found any more of them (not for less the $1000.00 anyway) anywhere. The torpedo from that box sells in Edmonton for $126.00 per stick~! Hate Canada for their prices on anything, but cigars are picked on by the tax people big time.
