Nice picks Dave!! You beat me to the La Hacienda boxes, I was going to buy one last week but I'm deciding I might hold off until thanksgiving weekend, see if there are some good sales. But yeah the La Hacienda is amazing, had a really interesting mineral note that I really liked, perfect AM smoke imo!

Okay so as you can see, I've been busy lately...all purchases going back a few months plus the recent holiday sales I've jumped on. :su

In the first picture we have...

Espinosa - Las 6 Provincias Toro, Alpha Dawg Shortl Churchills
601 - La Bomba Warhead Maduros, Blue Maduro Toro, Green Oscuro Coronas, 5 pack of Red Habano Robustos (hidden behind the Signature Selection)
Aganorsa Leaf/Casa Fernandez - Guardian of the Farm Apollo's, 5 pack of Signature Selection Belicosos
Don Pepin Garcia - Black Cuban Classic Robustos

And in the second...:

Warped - La Hacienda Gran Robustos
Crowned Heads - La Imperiosa Coronas
Abe Flores/PDR - El Trovador Maduro Coronas
Stolen Throne - Crook of the Crown Toro and Robustos
Dunbarton - Sun Compromiso Coronas 5 pack (obscured in the bag with the Stolen Thrones)

I have a lot of personal favorites in here from the 601s to the Guardians, and then also a lot of new stuff I'm really really excited to try! Now I just have to be patient and wait.... :rolleyes:

Michael, I recently got a 2 Long Live the Kings (one from markem in the Troop Auction) and really liked them both. I also had The King is Dead and liked it as well. Figured on trying their other lines as well, so I nabbed those all on Cigar Bid this week.

Haha I'm always saying the same thing about the name of that cigar! It's just *awful* but then the cigar is SO GOOD...what a conundrum. I mean really it's such a bad name that I wonder if Eric named it sarcastically? Regardless, I'll always have some on hand because they are incredible cigars.

Isabela Christmas Sampler and 2 extra sticks tossed in for free!

Okay so this one is a bit different. I wasn't initially sure about posting in this thread because they were a Christmas gift from my mother, so I had stashed them away and forgot to post them.

I had mentioned to her in passing that a site i like that reviews cigars (Katman) had reviewed an odd brand very highly and that I was curious about them. Sure enough, she ordered me this sampler! I know Katman has been sponsored by Isabela but generally speaking, my cigar preferences seem to mirror that Katman dude quite a bit, so I felt inclined to at least check these out.

Unfortunately it appears that they sweeten their caps, but not heavily so and while the barberpole wrappers come off as kind of gimmicky, as long as they smoke well I could give 2 flying ducks what they look like. Also, I've read that the tobaccos in these cigars have been extensively aged before being shipped out.

I'm curious though, has anyone tried these before? I'm going to try to give them another month or so before I test drive one of the smaller ones.

Weelok 01-19-2020 11:53 AM

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 
Some nice looking cigars. I guess sweetening of the caps is an old tradition but as long as the cigars are using good tobacco that’s just an oddity for today.

I’ll be curious to see your thoughts upon smoking one.

Ahhhhahahah THAT DLR!!! How could I have not deduced it was the man, the myth & legend, Diamond Dave himself! :r
I never really followed him much outside of Van Halen hence not recognizing the cover but yeah I have to agree, that is a pretty blatant rip off!

@ Dave (not the Diamond kind) yeah I read that the sweetened cap is a sort of nod to the past. They also talk at length about trying to recreate the profiles of Cubans from the early 90s, so I'll be interested to see if that is just a lot of marketing hype or if they actually live up to it. I'll be sure to post back in the daily smoke thread once I get around to trying them out!
