I did not realize that Punch was rolling a Rare Corojo in the Champion size. I like the regular Champion. May have to give this a try.

I was listening to the Dogwatch Cigar Radio podcast today, and Bob was saying he had enjoyed a Rare Corojo perfecto, and there was some debate as to what exactly it was. Dale insisted it was the Champion, and I guess he was right.

[Chris.]

Good to know they owner of the B&M wasn't feeding me BS about that Punch! :) He only had like 6 left!

[kelmac07]

Anyone tried the Siglo line?

Smoked one a few weeks ago..wasn't a bad smoke, but was pretty one dimensional.

Sadly I've not tasted any Taboos. I'll have to add the HSG to the list!

[Chris.]

yea, I got it. ;)

[big a]

Nice sampler big a! I'm still waiting to try my first twist.

The twists are very good. Taboo is quickly becoming my fav brand of cigars. Best bang for the buck IMO. Good thing they are taking care of you or i would of had to drop the bomb.

I've been hearing a lot about those Gars lately. I'm going to have to pick up a fiver somewhere.

Luke I haven't forgotten about the cigars I said I would send you. I've been busy all week. I'll do my best to get them to you next week. I smoked that Short story you gave me a little while ago. It wasn't as peppery as some of the previous ones I've had. I liked it much better! Thanks!

[kelmac07]

Can someone point a new guy to which cigar this actually is? I'd like to pick some up to try. TIA

[csbrewfisher]

No pics but I just received two tins of Leon Jimenes Cafe Dominicana Petites for Mrs. Brew. I am so blessed to have a wife that is also a SotL, even if she does smoke sissy sticks. I'm just kidding about that because we all know that you smoke what you like and like what you smoke.

[Chris.]

Bought these yesterday. The shop owner was getting calls from rocky patel and someone else the whole time he was talking with me in the humidor. lol

From left to right: the owner tossed this one in on the house and called it a 'private blend', Another of my favortie brand so far that I have not tired: Private Reserve Ragged, Cruzado Avalitos, Illusione 2, Cabaiguan Petit Robusto, Cabaiguan Robustos Extra, RP Winter Collection 2009, RP Olde World Reserve

Nice collection. Has your tastes change at all in the last six months Bobby or are they still your favorite?

[Chris.]

If you have 160+ gurkhas that just means that you need to start smoking and stop collecting. ;)

[s15driftking]

Nice collection. Has your tastes change at all in the last six months Bobby or are they still your favorite?

my taste has only changed in the fact that i need more depth in flavor, which some of them have fallen short in that area.

I am kind of a packaging nut, and I have liked that 3 finger tin case more every time I see it. Don't care much for OpusX anymore, got a little tired of the hype in the mid 90s, flavor didn't match up IMO, but I found habanos, so it came out OK. Gonna be SOME fourth, babay.

Today was a very good day. I went to Castle Cigar with the wife earlier. Wow! I have never been there, and was very excited to see they had alot of stuff I have never seen, and alot of special stuff as well. I only spent as much as I did today because the wife was urging me on.:tu

My intentions today were to buy some sticks that I have never tried, and help fill my new humi. I also bought some smokes that I always smoke...like the Short Stories. The reviews have been not so good on the new Nub's, but I was happy to see them there. I also bought a few smokes that I will definitely slow down to enjoy.

You picked up some GREAT looking smokes, Michael. Love the look of those "Between the Lines" perfectos. I have a couple that have been sitting since last Christmas. I keep forgetting they are there. Maybe I need to move them to the top shelf.

Yeah those are very cool looking, and I am hoping it tastes as great as it looks. I was also surprised to see a brand new box of the Don Carlos Edicion de Aniversario, Double Robusto 2006, and singles for sale.

They had tons of limited edition boxes of some very expensive stuff. I was tempted by a couple opusX A's, but I am not paying $50 for an opusx.

I am now scared of this place...this was the most expensive single buy I have ever made on cigars. :(

[troutbreath]

I could definitely get in trouble in a place like that. You don't have to get the best sticks every time, though. It's great to find a place with variety and the occasional great stick. My local places don't really have the high end options or "boutique" cigars. Fortunately, I travel a lot so I don't have to shop locally!

I'm looking forward to your reviews.

[kelmac07]

Some very nice pick-ups Michael!!!

James, I can't wait until Friday man. I will be getting a 5er of those T110's :dr Post a review about them asap!

[jlaker]

Can;t wait to get my T110s, those look very good!

Bought a box of SPDMQ, 2 cabaiguan, 2 tat browns, and 2 flor fina 8-5-8 maduros. No pics though. I already put it all away

Tobii...AGAIN, I NEED for my wife to speak with yours (in hopes that this will rub off)!!!

[MedicCook]

That is a great wife you have. It is a good thing she can't count.

[SmokeyNL]

very nice tobii

[Chris.]

wow! I need to find a woman like that!

[Wanger]

tobii, if you're feeling guilty, you can just take 3 and send the rest to me. :D

I was stoked to see those. I got the last 7 in the store, and they let me keep the box. :wo

How much did you pay for 3 pack? My B&M has 3 sizes and im trying to figure out if they are at a good price or not.

[s15driftking]

^^^ i smoked that Shark you gave me 2 months back. Thats the only fuente i've ever enjoyed.

[Chris.]

you should try the 8-5-8 madruo with some rest on it(at least a month) then. It's a very good cigar IMO.

[troutbreath]

Found another dozen power rangers this afternoon. Maybe it's good to not have a local B&M, but rather travelling the lands like Randall Flagg. I had a pretty productive Opus hunting trip (32 total) this week in 3 different states.

[Chris.]

geeze thats a lot of money. I havent seen any power rangers in my B&Ms but I cant imagine then being under $10 each.

[troutbreath]

Not all 32 are Power Rangers. But the 12 I found today were. I asked the man at the store if there was a limit, and he said yes. I asked, "how many?"

He replied, "How many do you want?"
"The rest," I said.
He then told me that nobody had told him just what the limit was, and since there was no sign, then the rest were mine.

It's all timing! If the store manager had been there, my wife might still be getting an anniversary present.

Wait until you try that 88. It was my first Illusione and will not be my last. Nice snags

My first illusione was the "2". LOVED it. I will probably buy a box at some time in the future. I haven't had any other illusiones I'm sure they are all delicious.

[darkninja67]

Got these last night from some good BOTL:

Have some Opus and a half box of LADC EE coming. Will post pics when they get here.

I am thinking of getting a "special cigar" humidor soon, just for the pricey NC stuff. Wish I had a hook up like you for the X. :)
Hey Mike if you are ever in Boston fire me a PM.

[Chris.]

thats not a good thing to love. lol At over $22 each. I'd be buying 1926's for that much. For some reason I am able to justify $14 for a cigar but once its above $20 I just can't. Must be the broke college student mentality.

[troutbreath]

That would be a good poll. What is your price threshhold? I really never flinch up to about $14-15, like you say . . . but after that it gets a little dicey.

[Chris.]

For a single that I have never had, $15 is my limit, unless I have several friends say they are awesome. then, I might drop the dough on it. But honestly, at this point in my life, if a padron 1926 wasn't given to me in a bomb I would have never bought one to know how delicious they are. I've also heard mixed reviews on the ESG, so I can't justify the cost of those either.

In my mind I would just hate to be smoking a $20 cigar that tasted like a dog rocket, because at that cost, I'd force myself to smoke it. lol

[TripleF]

Just scored this bundle of Puros Indios Viejo offf Cigars International for $39.99 (tough to turn down for $2.00 a stick).

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc32/fishforfree2/viejo.jpg

be sure and do a review on those. :)

The ESGs go for $34 at B&Ms here in Boston. I paid around $15 a stick so I am happy. These are not everyday smokes either.

Good stuff there! I scored some of the media corona when they were on sale awhile back & they are great! Out of curiousity, why the 7/10...is that when you'll dig them out again?

:tu

I almost fainted when I saw what they wanted for Paddies. I think the Bullet went for $50 or something like that. :(

I see a good point to writing the exact dates..... /end sarcasm

[flat6nut]

:confused: Wow, that is robbery...

I would tell them to F-off at that price and never buy anything from them. One of my local Tobacco Depot has all there ESG's at 15 each now because they do not sell well. They always had them listed for 21 each, but with the 3 cigar discount plus regular customer discounts...I could buy them for 16. I am actually waiting for them to fall under the 14 mark and I will buy the rest that they have.

They are a good cigar, but not 20+ good.

Just for singles since I try to let them rest a month before smokin them. Usually don't make it that long though

[darkninja67]

writing dates on non-high end sticks is funny.

[tobii3]

writing dates on non-high end sticks is funny.

Well excuse us, most of us here don't light our Sharks and ESG's with $100 bills.

(edited to delete image of recent purchase because they are apparently not high end enough for some)

[JohnnyKay5]

writing dates on non-high end sticks is funny.

not sure why it's funny. I dont do it but dates are to note a time of purchase and how the cigar ages. Shouldnt have anything to do with prices.

Now writing the price that you paid for on your smokes to remind you your smoking a high end stick is funny!

[rizzle]

:confused: Wow, that is robbery...

No doubt. I hope they at least give you a kiss as well.

[darkninja67]

Well excuse us, most of us here don't light our Sharks and ESG's with $100 bills.

(edited to delete image of recent purchase because they are apparently not high end enough for some)

Dude, relax and go smoke a cigar.

It was just my opinion that it would be a waste of time for ME to do it. I smoke a fair amount of cigars a week (figure at least a box) so they barely see the light of day before they are up in smoke.

As for my stash, it is nothing compared to most of the guys here. Yeah I have some Opus, ESG, Anejo, etc but those are saved for special days.

We cool? :ss

No doubt. I hope they at least give you a kiss as well.

I pay around $15 for my ESG. They are worth it to me at that price.

The barmaids at the $34 lounge are cute though. :)

[SmokinApe]

Lots of things we do in this hobby are funny, stockpiling coolers full of cigars is a great example.

yeahhhhh, you easily spend more for one cigar than you do for a pack of cigarettes. lol I thought about this the other day. I used to smoke and thought it was getting expensive for me so I quit. I've never been addicted, so it was easy to quit. I developed a habit of smoking them but never the feigning. Now I'm here smoking cigars that cost anywhere from $2 to $15 EACH! lol, what a great switch...:confused::ss:dance:

[Wolfgang]

you dont smoke a box of cigars a day though :D

[Chris.]

lol, and I only went through a pack a every 4 days at my worst.
