As long as the blend doesn't change I'm fine, but why ruin a great band with a cheap trashy looking one?

Because it's Rocky Patel, thats why.

Here's the last few weeks purchases.

4 Boxes of Tatuaje Barclay Rex 100th Anniversary (not all for me...box split with people on the board here)
Box of the vintage Cerdan's (three more boxes on the way...lol)
Two Liga Privada T52's (forget the sizes)
Two Tatuaje RC233's
5'er of Illusione Holy Lance
Box of Arturo Fuente Queen B's

And...because I've finally run out of room in my vinodor and didn't stop buying...a cooler, haha.

IMO, yeah. I bought a box to try them out and went ahead and got 3 more. They're great with coffee, very smooth and mild, and at about $1.30 a stick it's a great price too :)

nice flying pigs! I've never had the T52, but since I hear they're stronger, I'd probably like the #9 in comparison (its already one of, if not the top spot in my favorites)

I just sent an email to Craig Brown concerning pricing for CA members as I believe it was CA members that caused a surge in his sales to begin with. I will post his reply when I get it.:tu

Got an email back from Craig Brown on Cerdan pricing for CA members. Craig is going to keep the price at 60.00 per box or 3 boxes for 120.00 due to having less then 50 boxes left. I respect his decision and am glad he got back to me in a timely manner. Sorry guys, I tried. I guess the lesson is when you see a good deal, don't hesitate. :ss

Yeah, I don't really understand the difference between having 150 boxes of an out of production cigar or 50 boxes. Either way the fact is there isn't much left and they will never be produced again.

To put this in perspective with something a lot of us have followed recently...when Barclay Rex was selling their Tatuaje Anniversary cigar it wasn't $250 for a box until they had 25 boxes left then $375 a box...That's essentially what this guy did.

If he wants to slow his sales down though, this will definitely work. I think we were all jumping on these because they were such a great deal, and I can guarantee you that the majority of his recent sales were from CA. Now that they're $60 a box, while they're still cheap, they're not really that interesting anymore.

Being basically a cigar rookie, and not knowing what to buy, I found I enjoyed the CAO cigars (don't know their reputation at all) and bought a bunch of different ones from them to find how many I like (and how different they are, still developing a taste).
Bought 2 Italia Versions
Bought 2 Square Pressed Brazil Versions
Bought 1 Brazil Version
Bought 2 MX2's (really enjoyed this one)

Still a rook, so recommendations via PM always accepted....

Was in Nashville, TN for part of the weekend, and after reading some comments about Uptown's from the Middle Tennessee BOTL's, I had to check it out today before we came home. Glad I did! Only wish I'd looked for directions before we left for home, as we had spent over an hour at the nearby mall today, and I could have been enjoying a stogie and some football. VERY nice shop and selection! I came away with a box of My Father le Bijou's and a box of cg4's along with a handful of Tat Browns and Litto Gomez Americano. Looking forward to trying the LG's for the first time.

If you're in Music City, I definitely recommend Uptown's. Great selection and price. The guys asked me if I needed help, but did not badger me, and when I did need help, they provided. The smoking area looked nice also.

If you're in Music City, I definitely recommend Uptown's. Great selection and price. The guys asked me if I needed help, but did not badger me, and when I did need help, they provided. The smoking area looked nice also.

Going to be there over New Years weekend, will be sure to track them down!

Thanks for the tip. I have never had a Kristoff and they were cheap.

I just went by my experience but to this day I've never had such a badly plugged cigar. I've heard others had the same results. I think there was a review ......someone else can look that up.

Guess most of you already saw what I brought back from my trip to Florida

http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af186/cigarguide/holiday/DSC08113-1.jpg

today my order from the Oliva Cigar Lounge (shop in The Netherlands) came in:

http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff347/cs_donfernando/aankopen/nov20101.jpg

Dirty Rats and Oliva V Maduro short robusto edicion Europe

http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff347/cs_donfernando/aankopen/nov20103.jpg
several singles

http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff347/cs_donfernando/aankopen/nov20104.jpg
this is something special. Ilja van Horssen was one of the 3 people that founded the Longfiller Company, which is now the European Oliva distributer and distributer for Drew Estate, Fuente, Ashton, Tatuaje, Don Pepin, Padron, Casa Magna and a few more brands in The Netherlands. Ilja was also the owner of the famous G. de Graaff and Cuesta Rey shops in The Hague. A few years ago he died of cancer at the early age of 36. Since then, his brother Sasja, CEO of The Longfiller Company and also one of the founders, releases 36 boxes of hard to find sigars with a special band for Ilja and the proceeds go to charity. Last sunday he released the Ilja 4, this years release is the Padron 1926 80th anniversary maduro, and due to my surgery I couldn't make the release party. Sasja was kind enough to send me one with my order.

2 Quick questions:

1. Do those Dirty Rats have a second band? And if so, what does it say?
2. I have an Opus Ilja Edition I was going to review, is that one of the releases you mentioned (36 boxes) from a year in the past?

Thanks :)

It's a tax band. All cigars sold in The Netherlands have a tax band with the price on it (tobacco is government priced here)

Yes, the Opus A was the first Ilja release ever, I don't know what the 2nd was, the third release was an Oliva V Maduro (which was not available in Europe then) and this year's Ilja is the Padron 80th maduro.

Bill...the RP Vudu label looks just like black duct tape and I gotta agree with you on the 601 labels :td :td Ironically...both marketed by Rocky himself.

Now the sticks...:tu :tu :tu

11-30-2010, 06:44 PM
No kidding, so it isn't duct tape? Noted. It's such a shame they did that to the 601 labels, I would rip those bands off so fast and set them on fire. The old labels were very good too.

EDIT Mac I would seriously hate to be your mailman, just sayin'.
