If you have a say with the boss(s), please let 'em know we'd love to see the 3K in thinner ring gauges too. I wouldn't mind some fine lanceros. Thanks.

Ditto that. Or certainly a corona size.

Guys who are ordering from this new batch, please report back on how they're smoking.

I doubt that will happen. It's already a struggle to keep what we have in stock and refill on a timely basis. But I'll cross my fingers for you.

Oh heck, it's easy. Just quit making those tree trunk size Grande Robustos.

Thanks Humberto! It's great to have you on CA.

That rumor's been going around for years. I even saw a post on one of the boards somewhere that I had confirmed it to be true. I never did such a thing. Then again, I never denied it either.

I was told by a rep that it was Oliva.

I've also heard people say that before.

Just ordered a bundle. This could be the last cigar I ever smoke because I'm dead when the wife see's the credit card statement.

Does "Famous" Nick mind if we smoke his cigars?

Got my package of Nic 3000's today, a bundle of torps. Going to let them sleep in the humi for a while.

I got the torps too. 9/10/09 was the date. I might try one this weekend. I mean, it can't kill me or anything.

Woohoo, ordered a bundle each of the torpedos and the grande robustos!

captain53 · 09-21-2009, 06:02 PM

One bundle of Grande Robusto's Received Today and they are now in the Cooler. Just like a family of bears, enjoy your winter rest see you stogies in the spring.

I just got my bundle of robusto's today. This is my first time trying these. Is there any particular reason that the ratings are different between the torp vs robusto, or is it just that people tend to like the torps better because of shape? Also, how long do i have to hold off on smoking these suckers??? I am dying to try them!

I don't know why one is rated better than another, just the whims of the reviewers I guess.

What I'd do personally is take one or two and let them rest for a week or so in your humi, and then smoke it. Depending on what you think of it, you may choose to let the others age a few months. I've got enough "aged" ones to hold me over for a while, so I'm going to let mine rest until spring. Here in MN I don't smoke much in the winter anyhow, so it won't be too hard for me to leave them alone.
