A lab in Australia asked for samples of plume about a decade ago. They received cigars displaying plume from all around the world. Every single sample was a type of mold. The study was repeated a few years ago by another lab in the states with the same result. No one has ever been able to provide an example of “plume” that wasn’t mold. It’s just a term invented by store owners to sell moldy cigars to ignorant people.

Kirby, your humidor looks lovely, congrats! If I may share an FYI as my walk-in humidor has been mold free since being built in 1968 - You need to be using alcohol wipes or caviwipes in the entire box after pulling them all out and setting on a cutting board, and alcohol in/on all brushes after each cigar. Simply wear cheap nitrile gloves when doing this. Then, set aside for 12 months and if nothing returns you're likely safe to smoke. If new growth is present, discard or you'll risk what's called "Brass Player's Lung/ Bagpipe Lung". If you're ever in Colorado, I'd love to share a smoke and conversation with you. BRING EDDIE!

Trinidads are selling so bad , that soon they will give Trinidad to every Bolivar Petit Coronas for free. For me the problem with TD is that except better quality control they taste very similar to a lot cheaper Vagueros, when even with huge prices the is something special in Cohiba cigars like Siglo line.

@aperson7584 Thank you for the reply. However, you are simply repeating the official narrative and expanding on what I already stated to the exception of the following part: `"1969: This is the year the Trinidad brand was REPORTEDLY founded in Cuba". This is simply not the true! The Cohiba Lanceros were the ones started in 1964 and offered as gifts to Diplomats while the Presidencia were offered to the head of states. The Presidencia had it's own white band and the Lanceros for Dip;omats had also a white band with the snake design. NO TRINIDAD whatsoever! In 1969. Trinidad were non existent! There was no hidden secret as it was supposedly in the hands of hundred of Diplomats! There is no evidence or trace or boxes to prove their existence. Boxes of the Presidemcia still exists as well as Lanceros Diplomat boxes but NO TRINIDAD! I stand to be corrected. Direct me or post a picture of a Trinidad Diplomat box dated any year from 1969 to 2024.

It bothers me that they aren't actually smoking the cigars. It's more like a prop for them. TALK ABOUT THE CIGAR FLAVOR DAMMIT! If you're going to put out a video featuring unobtanium you have to include the experience of actually smoking the cigar. This is why Kirby will never be an actual cigar authority.

As someone who doesn't have access to cuban cigars, I think it would be amazing to have a series to compare the new world counterparts to the cuban brands. Trinidad Espiritu series 3 for instance is rolled in Nicaragua by two very well respected makers.

Please explain the Dates discrepancy? Trrinidad 55 years Anniversary brings the brand back to 1969 while they were first presented in 1994 at the Paris Dinner of the Century organized by Marvin Shanken, Trinidad was "allegedly" offered as Diplomatic gifts in 1997 and made available in 1998. Please explain the Dates discrepancy?
@aperson75848 күн бұрын
1969: This is the year the Trinidad brand was reportedly founded in Cuba. The cigars were produced exclusively for Fidel Castro, the Cuban government, and for use as diplomatic gifts. While Trinidad cigars were being made during this time, they were not available to the general public. The cigars' production and existence were essentially kept secret, which is why many associate this date with the brand’s creation, even though they were not commercially available. 1994 - Paris Dinner of the Century: At a dinner organized by Cigar Aficionado founder Marvin Shanken, a box of Trinidad cigars was presented as a special gift. This event marked the first time the brand was introduced in public circles outside of its diplomatic use, sparking intrigue about its origins. However, these cigars were still not commercially available to the public. 1997 - Diplomatic Gifts: While Trinidad cigars had been offered to select individuals as diplomatic gifts since the 1970s, it wasn’t until around 1997 that they began to be more widely recognized outside of diplomatic circles. This period marks the increasing visibility of the brand. 1998 - Commercial Release: Trinidad cigars were officially released for sale to the public in 1998. The initial production was limited, and the cigars were highly sought after due to their previous status as exclusive diplomatic gifts.

Box of 25 partagas d4s was 288 usd around 2019 or so on ihavanas, nearly 700usd now. The Cuban prices are a joke given how shit their quality control is and how there isn’t anything that special about them. Not a single Cuban cigar is worth more than 30 usd and even at that price I’d rather get Davidoff. Better flavours and orders of magnitude better quality control. In other words, never buying Cuban crap again.

@@variszarins alright, you can't compare cuban cigars with new world. Yes the quality control is shit, but new world are way more bland and static in their flavor palettes. They're easier to smoke because of their simplicity in flavor, and I like them for that reason. But if you want something intricate, to be paired with a whiskey or for a special occasion nobody is bringing out an Opus X or Davidoff when they have a good cuban cigar. Let's be honest.
