Q: How could Ai be used to identify tobacco grown in Cuba by the structure of the leaf A: AI can be used to identify tobacco grown in Cuba by analyzing the structure of the leaf in a number of ways. Here are a few possible methods: Image analysis: AI can be trained on a large dataset of high-quality images of tobacco leaves grown in Cuba, as well as leaves from other regions. The algorithm can learn to identify subtle differences in the structure of the leaves that distinguish Cuban tobacco from others. Once trained, the AI can analyze new images of tobacco leaves to determine the likelihood that they were grown in Cuba. Spectral analysis: Every material has a unique spectral signature, which is a pattern of wavelengths of light that are absorbed or reflected by the material. AI can be used to analyze the spectral signature of tobacco leaves to identify the unique characteristics of Cuban tobacco. This method could involve using a spectrometer to measure the spectral signature of tobacco leaves from different regions, and then training the AI to recognize the patterns associated with Cuban tobacco. Chemical analysis: Cuban tobacco may contain unique chemical compounds that can be detected through chemical analysis. AI can be used to analyze the results of chemical tests on tobacco leaves to identify the presence of these compounds and determine whether they are consistent with Cuban tobacco. Overall, the key to using AI to identify Cuban tobacco is to provide the algorithm with a large and diverse dataset that represents the full range of tobacco leaves from different regions, so that it can learn to distinguish the subtle differences that make Cuban tobacco unique.

They are different blends. Rex was a one off store-specific blend that was then combined with La grande classe to create la grande classe Rex. I find the La grande classe to be a bit milder, less character than the la grande classe Rex. Both are good cigars, but the latter nails it for me. My recently purchased bundle, last week, now has them in cello and banded whereas previously they came nude. Not sure if that signifies any other changes yet as it’s too soon to tell. I hope they turn out as good as the first 4 bundles I burned through.

Illusione la grande classe Rex. Muscled in is the right phrase.

Cuba wants their cigars to be a “luxury” product, but they obviously aren’t. They have good tobacco, that’s it. If they want to be luxury, and charge these prices, they have to do everything else better. People put up with “Cuba being Cuba” because of the price. Take that away and people won’t put up with it, pretty simple

There may be a way to identify a Cuban wrapper leaf from a non-Cuban wrapper leaf through pattern recognition, one that humans can't readily detect. Pattern recognition is a strong suit for AI. India is currently using AI to identify quality tobacco leaf from poor leaf through pattern recognition - I left a link to that in a previous post. A similar approach might be possible for Cuban leaf vs. non-Cuban. That's my best guess. Adding labeling diagnoses and barcode authentications, and then applying a % chance of authenticity.

Not sure what this is, but you wanted the best, you got the best…

Figuring out how to identify the “taste” of moisture content in the cigar your smoking is what separates the wheat from the chaff, amongst cigars and cigar smokers. Once you do, cigar keeping and operating a humidor becomes much, much easier and clearer.

Yea, I doubt this gpt stuff will change the world…

keep em comin At just over 5 bucks a pop, fantastic smoke.

@PuroDiario Here’s a smart Aussie who knows his stuff. At 38:50 he’s talking about Jacksonfall and that twitter experiment:

I’m out, I don’t really need the money so I’ll m keeping what I got but, it’s been fun. I’ve read a lot about NCs lately and having fun poking around my local shops again. I’m 2 for 2 on the Illusione la grand classe Rex and the JRE Aladinos ( Aladino wasn’t great Rott but turned out really nice after a few weeks down.) Lots of new stuff out there I’ve ignored for too long.
