Yesterday night I received my Salomones that I had ordered, I recieved 50 Salomones #1, (I had asked for 25 Salomones #1 and 25 Salomones #2) But for some reason they are all Salomones #1, I was a little dissapointed since I wanted for my collection some Salomones #2, since the #1 are the same size as the Cuaba Salomones you get in the 10 box.

I also recieved 2 boxes of Cuaba Diademas, quite expensive I might say, 115 dlls for a box of 5, and one bundle of 25 Robustos home blend, sent by Abel.

The Salomones #1 were made by no other than La China, she told my friends daughter "Tell Roberto that I made these like if they were for my own husband" they are very dark and oily, only like 4 of them are a little pale and green, but the rest are very dark.

The Robustos look quite nice as well, not that dark, and they are supposed to be a special house blend.

I had asked for the Festival Habanos 2005 Cigars, but I did not get them, Dont know why, all I know is that Abel said that they had not come out yet.

I will try to call Abel today, to thank him, and also to see if he like the bottle of tequila.

The Salomones look excelent, I think I will let them age a couple of months before I try the first one, they look like they will age perfectly,

I wouldn't want any of the Sally 2's anyway...but that's just me. Sounds like a real eye-popping stash, RH...enjoy them.

If the "house blend" is the "Abel" private blend, they should be great. I've smoked "those" robustos.

Unless he's changed them. He gave me a bunch of them about 8 months ago. He keeps them in locked closet.

Actually the best "non factory" cigars I have ever smoked, which includes all the well known rollers you hear about.

Wow, those robustos sound amazing. Does Abel have them continually, or is it a finite supply?

I wonder if "that" was the robusto I smoked on the way from Jose Marti to Vedado?! It was the best cigar I have EVER had.


Hang on tightly, let go lightly

I have no idea.

I think they were an early batch because I was there the month before, May, and he didn't mention them.

He did say, in June, that they were something he "invented" and wanted an opinion.

For various reasons I haven't been back. This is the longest stretch in 8 years and I'm getting REAL antsy.

Forget tequila. Send money. But not to Abel. To the roller.


If ignorance is bliss .............. Why aren't there more happy people walking around?
