Che Cigar

By the way, I will end this thread and start a new one entitled "The Presidencia Cuban Cigar." I am posting a pic of one of the other cigars that was gifted to me by the same friend. Its got a somewhat interesting history. Look for the new thread.

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.

I guess the difference, from my persepctive, is that neither of you have had that cigar (from what I gather) and your judgment is based on the injection of politics into a very non-political thread. Anyone who has been around for a while knows your and Mike's opinions on the matter and I appreciate you took it to PM. :2

All of that said, I've smoked the Robusto (which was good and strong as hell) and have a Salomon waiting for me to have the time to commit. An artful band and a very well made cigar in my limited experience.

I believe these were rolled at the Partagas factory; but I could be wrong about that. If someone can confirm or deny, that would be keen. :)
 
nice way to tame the masses, poker - prof.

:mnin this thread.

Simply put, yes Che was 'bad'

The cigar is not inherently Che related purely because of its title.

When all is said and done, the OP was intended to shed some light on a rare cigar.
 
Igor, thanks for handling this like you did. It is appreciated. Sometimes folks emotions can even creep over the internet. :)

It may be a great cigar, but the whole sadistic murdering thug thing kinda turns me off.

Che was only good at shooting people who had already been bound and gagged.

I'm in no way saying that Che was a good guy but I dont think this reporter from that story has a clue of what he is talking about. The first and only proof that you need is right in the beginning of his article where he says, "Tyson was jinxed by that Che tattoo, there’s no other explanation." Im a big boxing fan so I know a bit about Tyson and why he performed later in his career the way he did. Mike was out of shape and did not have boxing in his heart any more and that is why he got pummeled by Lewis, not because he was jinxed be a Che tatoo. After he made that statement, its hard to take anything he wrote seriously. If this reporter is so naive and plain stupid when it came to Tyson and how he lost his fights later in his career, how could he know anything about the "Revolution?"

I guess that is not one I will never bother to put my lips on.
My skin curls just saying the name, knowing what it stands for.

Due to the fact that both of us know full well the above quote was made simply due your political view on the name on the band of the cigar.

Blueface,

You are one of the coolest cats on the boards bar none. I especially admire all your stories about your father (specifically where he talked to Pepin and where he smoked flavored cigars). But this time I personally feel like you and Mikey crossed the line. Your only disagreement with this thread is you don't appreciate the name. Couldn't you have stopped with that, especially as the OP meant no harm or foul.

This is different than other threads where people disagree on cigars because your only basis for disagreement IS political.
 
I probably shouldn't be posting here since I have nothing to do with the issue, but it looks like this has been resolved. Emotions ran high, things were posted where they shouldn't have been, then it was resolved in PM. I think we can stop bringing up the fact that things went south in earlier posts and get back to the main point which is the cigar.

Just my :2

Igor: Looks like you found a nice little rare treat that you really enjoyed...I am glad you had the chance to smoke one :D

The cigar really is great. I wish I had more of them so that I could take of the band and send one to each of you guys so that you could just appreciate it for what it was meant to be, a really good cigar!

Here:
 
Hope this post doesnt create any hard feelings but I cant wait to smoke the one I have now. I literally forgot I had it til I saw this post..Thanks for reminding me. After all it just a cigar and nothing more than that to me.
I have a couple from Cuba that frequent at my Bar and they wont even smoke Cubans because of theyre hurt and feelings toward Castro..Not just cigars with Che' bands but all cigars out of Cuba..They dont care that I smoke them because its just a cigar to me but to them its something way more than that. I look at this thread as being a review about a Cigar and a man looking for some info on it..Touchy subject for some but all in all were just talking about the Cigar.Keep the peace..:tu
