I was just perusing this great webite and thought I would share. I never realized the making of Habano cigars involved such long & tedious preperation. Interesting stuff too, on the history of the Cuban cigar industry:

Btw, drop down to the lower right of the page and click on "English" for the translation.

Yes, its very involved.
If we had been on the ball in the 19th century, Cuba would be a state or at least an American possession.

MrK, a pleasure as always. I'm on the first third of this Edmundo. Liking it but my sense of taste and smell are a bit off due to seasonal allergies. I ended up with a Dickel Rye to go with it. Tennessee via Indiana.

Nice. The Dickel rye is not bad juice.

I was torn between this and Templeton. Both produced by LDI for their respective labels. The difference is the Dickel is filtered through sugar-maple charcoal. Mash bill is 95% rye 5% malted barley. Zero corn. Its an interesting rye. Worth the $25 all day.

Yeah, LDI only uses one rye mashbill, every body gets the same stuff, but aging and whatnot can have a profound effect as you know.
