@@billaddison82 this is such a great comment, much appreciated! 👌😚💨

@@elig1014 thank you brother 🙏 the encouragement means alot to me 😚💨

np brother - these are the desktop humidors i use , also use a bunch of sistema tupperdores and a couple of king chi temp controlled humidors. i'd say if these are in your budget (either small or large) do not hesitate, you won't be disappointed & better than wooden desktop. You may be able to find a cheaper acrylic but i'm not savvy on everyone in the market. i just know these suit my needs well. hope that helps & thanks for watching brother 😚💨

@@TysonMaggio-qg8ep good question, the answer is no ... they are all made up of varying blends. There can be some crossover between vitolas in my experience thanks for watching 😚💨

@HabanosChris ok thanks for clearing that up a bit for, as I read somewhere that basically all RyJ cigars have the same flavour profile and that they just come in around a dozen different vitolas, and I looked on the habanos website to view their range and thought why have cigars close to being the same size just a few millimetres in length or girth difference but be the same cigar essentially.

@@TysonMaggio-qg8ep yeah there are def similar blends & some consistency in in flavor profile but not exactly the same leaf / blend across all vitolas

@@michael_dugan yeah ... i've heard a lot of talk about cuban cigars needing a bit less age ... for ex. i've heard consensus that partagas serie d no. 4 smoking incredibly good rn on the young side ... i've experienced this too but still feeling it out. I totally agree with the 23 & 24 experience ... there's an occasional surprise depending on the marca, also habanos seems to oddly "hold" certain inventory. I actually got 4 year old vegueros recently (just random luck, not one of the marcas held in my experience) and that was after numerous 24 boxes as you've said thanks for watching 😚💨

thanks for watching, while I can say now that all the rumors are true ... we won't know if it made the final cut until the release

@@ricardosalas5110 thanks for watching

@@mecklenburgcubancigars sounds like you had an interesting box & agree about them being a bit underrated

actually, there is one account that he was killed by a jealous man who believed that Don Jaime was having an affair with his wife. However, there are forensic records that indicate three men were arrested in the crime for some involvement including providing a revolver to the assailant. To some, this points to a crime that was of a more conspiratorial nature. Don Jaime had made some foes and had a few related legal cases as he bought up a great deal of farm land and had used a competitors name on his products liberally. So there are varying accounts. Thanks for watching 😎

👌glad you are enjoying these too ... thanks for watching !! 🙏

@CigarAttache yes, this is yet another box with only one to two years of age that is smoking well now. I'd love to see video tour of LCDH Taipei 👌 thanks for watching!

@@ΣταυροςΧαριτιδης yes they are 24$ us ... for a petit robusto! - complete madness 😩🥲

@@ΣταυροςΧαριτιδης I appreciate you watching 🙏 thanks! & glad you enjoyed the review👌

🙏 thanks friend! - yes a bit one dimensional but solid overall. 👌cheers

@@patrickbanick2174 👌thanks for watching brother - really glad you like the videos! - i think this is an awesome suggestion, i'll see what I can do. How about Monte No. 2 vs R&J belicoso/pyramid ?... those are two vitolas that i was considering reviewing soon

@@HabanosChris That sounds like a great idea!

👍very generous compliments; very inspiring & I much appreciate you watching 👌😚💨

thanks for watching brother 👌they really do have such a unique, immediately identifiable, often delicious & intense flavor profile 😚💨

thank you so much brother! yes, I am puzzled by that too! when people say 20-30 minutes for full length vitolas ... like you've said the smallest formats still get at least 20-30 or more sometime for me too

thanks for watching brother👌 yes these are a pleasant surprise. I've had to get another box myself 😚💨

p.s. if you havnt had it already, the de depute can be easily equally good.

@@HabanosChris just bought another box, so good 😊

good eye - in this case it was just rare & random luck of me opening so many boxes; it's not completely unheard of-what others too often call "cuba being cuba" or inconsistent quality control-but this box was authentic. thanks for noticing

@@HabanosChris Thanks for the info. I am not a veteran smoker, so I have not experienced this yet. Happy smoke!

@@ivannn1981 👌😚💨 thanks again for watching

@@50uth3rn_5m0ke thanks for watching brother - any boxes i have of these were picked up at LCDH Grand Cayman or friends of el habano

👍thanks for watching & for your input.. yes, similar experience here. These are definitely low maintenance

🧙‍♂️👌

thanks for watching brother 👌 yes lancero is a great format/these are a solid alternative

hey Jonny - have you looked into rsvp or egm? there is a 5% habanoschris discount at Montefortuna as well but they don't guarantee shipping like the former

🙏🙏 thanks Mike. I know, I have also noticed new world cigars have gone up as well. crazy!

I might grab some 5 packs- was actually very curious about the n7 (punch inspired stick) & the n2 pyramid ( ramon allones inspired). 🙏 thanks for watching brother 😚💨

🙌 these are no nonsense & tasty as hell👌

More like greed

Yes, the price hikes have been absolutely crazy, so many boxes now have prohibitive pricing & it's sadly going to continue if i had to guess. I do miss the days of having worry free access to virtually any vitola even if it was a a bit of a splurge. Makes me laugh to think we complained then in light of today's prices.

@@ASMRCIGARS thanks for watching brother - yes cost definitely a legitimate factor w/ so many good options out there. Personally, i really like these but of course one of them was gifted to me and the other was purchased many years ago so i didn't have to wrestle with that decision. 👌😚💨

@@HabanosChris guess I’ll just have to find something similar. It’s great content 👌🏽. I’m always tuned in ever since coming across the channel.

🙏glad you like, it means alot. I have some more reviews coming soon.

@@HabanosChris I look forward to them 🤝🏽

@ASMRCIGARS 👌😚💨

@@georgigeorgiev-ei4or 🙏 thanks so much for watching 👌

Hey brother- thanks for watching. I got these for under $200 us , I believe around $180. The prices have gone up since then keep in mind.

@@HabanosChris here in Portugal they cost around 192,5€, my main question is, are they worth 200 US dollars, or would you prefer to get some Cohiba Shorts or Wide Shorts that are cheaper ??

@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!

@@HabanosChris thank you :)

@@AngelOfToxicity anytime

good eye! BUT those singles w/ damage came from a Montefortuna clearance sale of slightly damaged cigars. In other words, they came that way -it's not from the humidor or my storage. I got those cigars for pennies and really & wish i had gotten even more. On another note, there is a 5% habanoschris discount code w/ Montefortuna btw ... let me know i can get the precise code for you

thanks for watching friend. Personally i don't mind it helps me quickly distinguish from my other one but appreciate the comment. 😚💨

Knit picking before you own something is a curse I have haha. I’m normally always happy and get over what turned me off in the first place

haha well then at least you have an eye for the details lol

hey brother it violates youtube policy to promote tobacco usage etc. i'm not here to promote. you can find me on IG if you have more questions. gl

yes brother, you are not alone in this. Actually, i have heard Habanos was trying to make cigars more approachable / require less aging. I don't have too many specifics on this though atm

These have been a pleasant surprise for sure. I will get more in near future too. 🙏thanks for watching brother.

thanks for your input Mike! These cabinets of Depute & the Du Maire have been really nice 👌

thanks for watching AnthonyV - i get them directly at LCDH often in past. I think people use iHavana or FOH etc but not sure

👌good taste-both great smokes, i have some Epi 2s and smoked through the last of my Petit Robustos not long ago. I go back and forth between the epi 1 & 2 and the especials. The Depute really pleasant surprise & pretty complex. Thanks so much for watching 🙏

yeah hard to find aged inventory and fetches a premium. I often buy them ahead and age for a couple of years before opening. I was also lucky to have gotten alot of boxes before price hikes made this more difficult. Also, tbh some vendors know me and send me aged boxes when they can.

@@HabanosChris I just received a box of 10 monte no 2. Boxing date is Nov 23 so they could become a nice summer smoke for 2025 :D

@@timw7514 🤣 yes takes patience lol 👍

yes very flavorful! even when smoked fast didn't get tannic or harsh 👌😚💨

🙏thanks for watching

i've been using LCDH a lot but def ihavanas or FOH are g2g

@@HabanosChris I usually do RSVP but their restocks are infrequent so I’m looking into other options

@michael_dugan yeah I've noticed RSVP has low inventory recently. Heard some supply issues in general in Canada.

btw for whatever it's worth Montefortuna has a discount code: HABANOSCHRIS05 It will give 5% off on every order over $150 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@HabanosChris thanks I’ll look into that

thanks man 🙏appreciate you

yes Mike, i think it makes for an interesting change, & i've noticed it as well, curious if there's going to be any adverse impact on aging some boxes. The short churchill tubes I got are sublime rn if you can some. Thanks as always 🙏 friend.
