Che Cigar

Igor

"The Smoking Gun"
I was given this cigar by a friend. supposedly its pretty rare. I could not find much on it on the internet. The flavor is amazing and the burn, construction, draw was awesome. The smoke is beautiful, white and rich. Has anyone ever smoked one of these? If not, I highly recommend it.
 
Can't say that I have, I was in Santa Clara, Cuba (this is where Che fought during the revolution) and didn't see these cigars otherwise I would have picked some up....:ss
 
Yeah, nice tray. I dig those brass rests. :tu

Thank you, its an Elie Bleu pots ashtray. It works real well at keeping the cigar lit because the "pots" are nickel that is plated with gold. I dont know exactly what that has to do with but it does work. And yes, these cigars were originaly inside of the Limited Edition Che humidors that were made by Elie Bleu.
 
There were 50 of the "Che Guevara Limited Edition No. 5 Superiores Humidor" (made by Elie Bleu)

There were 68 cigars in each humidor (3400 cigars made total - pretty darn rare)

35 measuring 4 7/8 by 49
18 measuring 7 5/8 by 49
15 measuring 6 by 49

Estimated value is around $125

I hope this helps

Just to be clear, I did not try to start a political debate. I was simply writing my opinion of the cigar, which had nothing to do with the name that was on the band and what it represents. The cigar tasted amazing.

I understand. I was not trying to be disrespectful to you. I was just trying to make a joke regarding the name of the cigar.

I personally never took it that way from you.
Mikey is short on words but gets to the point.
To clarify his sentiments, which a few of us agree with, that is like saying a Hitler cigar from a limited edition humidor of only 50 tastes awesome and all should try it.
Don't think the Jews will care too much for it and totally understandably so.

That said, I am sure it was awesome for you given how limited production it is.
However, for Mikey and some of us, it would in fact taste like chit.

Doesn't mean you can post about it.
Doesn't mean Mikey can't envision what it would taste like for him.
 
I understand what you are saying and in a certain way, I can relate. But out of my own curiosity, would you care to share with me your feelings in regards to Che and why in detail? I'm not trying to say that its not well warranted, Im just saying that Im interested to find out more about your feelings and or experiences in this regard.

Easy there guys, he stated in the original post that he wanted to know if anyone knew more about the cigar since little to no info was available to him on the internet.

I'll tell you what, a very very generous fellow donated at least 6 of these to the SoCal 9 Mega Herf to be auctioned off (which we did by the way). Does this change your perspective on all the members that bid on them? Does it change your perspective somehow that now the entire SoCal MegaHerf organizers are now somehow Che supporters?

Geezus man if thats true so be it, but dont you think thats a little over the line seeimng he didnt name the damn cigar, and he didnt buy it either. It was a friggin gift. Man....sometimes.:gn


Igor, damn nice cigar. There I said it.

Lets not turn a non political thread into something political. Keep the topic/cigar the focus.

I could literally be here all night giving you my reasons. He was a liar and a murderer and died a coward. Every month or so we get into subjects such as Che and Fidel and I usually just make a post voicing how I feel and leave, knowing I'm not going to change someones mind who supports those two bastards. I don't want to hijack this thread which was initially about a cigar.

Where is this all coming from? I must have missed that part. The issue is not about Che supporters at all. Never read that from what I can see.

From my perspective, I have already said I didn't take it to be political.
He said is a fine cigar.
You said it is a fine cigar.
Mikey and I said it is a chit cigar.

No different than other threads where folks disagree on cigars.
Why is that political?

Sorry, my two cents.

BTW, that is why I took it to PM.
 
Its all cool. I think we all understand each other. There were plenty of good reasons provided for why some here are passionate about the Che topic and quite frankly, I dont blame them. I am well aware of Che and the history behind him. Im not a historian, nor did I ever have any experiences with that regime and neither did anyone who is close to me but I can relate to other oppressive regimes. I was interested in some of the experiences that others had with that revolution.

The thread was really started about a cigar but I think its ok if it steers into another direction, thats natural and makes the forum/thread more interesting (some times more so than the initial intention of the thread). I can tell you this though, if you were to take that cigar and remove the label, you would be wowed at how good the cigar is. At the end of the day, the label means nothing because its not intended to support a cause or a political figure. The cigar itself is just amazing.
