It has been a bit since I made a cigar purchase. So, I figured I might get myself a Christmas present.

Nice selection of cigars there Rev.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Very nice Todd!

I grabbed a selection of Skinny Monsters from Larry.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

I thought about pulling the trigger on that selection as well, but as I have not had any of them, did not know if I would like them, I hesitated. And, as they say, "he who hesitates is lost"...or... "you snooze, you looze."

I would love to hear you thoughts on each of them!

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Those are some sweet looking cigars!!

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Thanks Todd and Dave.

I figured these would be a little less "peppery" with age, and I needed an NC stash as I am all out of Caldwells and trying not to buy any more until after the Holidays. :D

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Haha I made myself the same promise right before Thanksgiving! I've broken it about 2 times since. :tu

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Alright, don't beat me up to hard... Getting back into cigars I can't dive into the bold, med-heavy that I like.. I need to start with some flavor. Connecticut's don't do it for me.

Picked these up lately, my first ever box purchase. Also I have picked up a few singles over the past few months, usually I pick up a couple every time I go to the orthopedic surgeon. (Follow up appointments after my surgery.)

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

From Larry a whole lot of tasty cigars. The Johnny Walker Blue is celebrating Tom Brady’s 7th super bowl ring :) I’ve four shots of Blue on Brady winning but just in case, a bottle is a LOT cheaper then bar shots hah.

Had a sale on the Punch cigars and I’ve not tried the Nicaraguan but haven’t had a Punch I didn’t enjoy. Now the BLTC Salvation cigars, well, those I love.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Love The Punch Line, Dave!:tu. Just Bought A Few Salvation. Sounds Like A Good Stick!:D. Do They Need A Lot Of Rest???

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

IMHO smoke them ROTT unless they are dry of course. They are great anytime. I don’t have many that are over a year as I smoke the heck out of them. The toro size is my preferred size as the thinner ones are great but best on the slightly drier side due to draw of course. The larger ring gauges are best imho at the 70% range.

These are good even middle of day as a first cigar. Maybe a tad on the strong side for middle of day but just a hair hah.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Thanks, Brother! Have A Great Day!:tu

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

I'm guessing that ain't the same salvation I preach to my people. :D

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Nice. I don't go over to CBid much, but seems to me you pick those up over there pretty regularly. Of course, if I go and bid on them, then one of us might be disappointed. :D

Nice snag.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Rev, while you may be preaching everlasting salvation, these cigars certainly make the time spent waiting more enjoyable :)

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

You can’t beat CBID pickups like that :)

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Just bid on a few a couple days ago. I haven't had a bad Caldwell yet.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Amen, brother! Preach it!

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

And now I explore Smokey Meditation using burnt tobacco as incense.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Ooooooo myyyyy

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Seeing good things in here lately from the Caldwells to the Viaje and more!! One of these days I hope to grab some boxes of Viaje and age them in the long term. Specifically the Natural Leaded, I think that would be a great smoke in the long term.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Did you find a special on these somewhere?

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

I picked them up in a private sale. Larry knows I love Viaje so we set up a deal.

These are 2018 boxes so a few years under their belts.

Viaje has changed quite a bit over time. The first Satoris focused on being smooth yet rich in flavor. As with many of his brands, the last 3 -4 years many of them ramped up in strength but also a little rougher smoke.

Two brands in particular are the Summerfest and this one, the Satori. I like it but it is different.

Brands that tended to go the other way are the Zombies IMHO which are quiet a bit less flavorful and potent then the original releases.

For a few years, all I would smoke were the Blue label leaded Exclusivios as I thought those were the only ones consistently good. I’m more tolerant now of lines changing and just smoke them if I like them so adventuring with Viaje brands again.

I really want to light a V up, but I am pretty good at giving them at least 2 weeks after shipping.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

I see a lot of people competing with Icehog for cigars :)

And great CBID pickup.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Dave, while heavily encouraged as I really like Caldwell, please don't get too froggy. ;) :lr

Nice pick ups! Yummy.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Put in a lowball bid for 10 fivers at the Devil Site and ended up winning five. If they wanna give 'em away cheap, I'll smoke 'em! :D

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

I haven't bought much recently, but I did take advantage of a Holt's sale. It was well-timed as I'm almost out of Old Henry Maduro's.
