Two mistakes.
Last week I bought sixty bucks of auctions from jr. A couple of tens by Nat Sherman and a five o Romeo anniversary. The annis that I had many years ago were epic, these cost four each, and aren't even a pathetic s h Adow. This burns poorly, looks horrible, and isn't the tasty, fruity, sweetly aromatic jewel that they once were. The ants, one pack was the 1930. The most beautiful Rothschild I have ever seen, but right up front I saw the soft spot in the filler. It burned terribly, and was lacking in flavor. A bit of black pepper once, but in general, just dull and hot. This 1930 sells for $10 each. Not retail, this was selling price. Ten bucks for a Roth? It by God should not be built like a Connie.
The annis I bought for four, I was dreaming. The ants came for less than two.
I have wondered, these are Quesada. I have had many, many fonseca, and have been happy with them. I have never heard anything good about them, other than cast magna. Was I mistaken to believe that Quesada could make a great cigar?
The Romeo just went into the fire. So much less than what I had hoped for.
