Looking at it I am guessing the Fonseca No.4 Benelux Regional 2010?

Dude, we have about 150 AUTHORIZED Habanos dealers here in The Netherlands. I know for sure that Tim smoked the real deal.

This is by far the most ridiculous thing I have ever read on any forum...

Moses, BTW, and this is not a critic of you personally, but the points above about drinking windows underscore my premise. How can someone without really understanding what's really written critique a reviewer? Spectator policy is a public one, yet many people simply never came across it nor understand the "recommended drinking window".

no offense to anyone in particular, but this is just about the crappiest thread i've read since the great "cigars bought in B&Ms are better than cigars bought off the internet" debate.

riddick - you're basically saying in your posts that unless you're a paid and published "critic", you can't possibly have any real knowledge of, essentially, any hobby or passsion you're involved in?

Personally I don't think Suckling is much different than many of the people I have encountered on a variety of cigar forums...

I never disliked Suckling. Some of his stuff was good.

Met him twice in person, he was even more of a douche bag in real life.

Why?

SmokeyJoe · 07-16-2010, 08:14 PM

RETIRED!? So he can do what exactly?

Maybe... travel the world and smoke fantastic cigars?!

Indeed. Opinions would change faster than the speed of light.

Do we really care by the way?

Their will be a new guy who likes to review cuban cigars for a camera....and those vids wheren't any special...

poriggity · 07-19-2010, 08:24 AM

Never been a fan of the magazine.. Quite frankly, I wish they'd just close the doors on the magazine.

07-20-2010, 12:03 PM

Cigar Press is a way better magazine than CA.

07-20-2010, 12:14 PM

Reading reviews from aficionado-friends are more fun to read. Their are at least 3 or more reviews a day so why reading a magazine with all the other crap which has nothing to do with cigars. It's only because the "elite" can get their booner when they see themselfes on a picture. It doens't have any surplus value.

Jame Suckling is suppose to be an upcoming weekly guest on another forum I frequent. I have plenty of questions for him.
