These Partagas cifuentes maduro are so freakin incredible. Chocolate, molasses and an undercurrent of pepper throughout. For $29.99 per 10 they just can't be beat.

It's official! We are new home owners!!! Closing was tonight and to celebrate...Siglo mi Amor

Congratulations Peter enjoy.

I am! This may be the last of regular postings from me. I got a lot of work to do at the new place and very limited time to do it. So, if you don't see much of me, I'm ok, just busy!

I stopped at Tuttle's Lounge in Grand Rapids today for an Arturo Fuente Flor Fina 8-5-8. It starts floral, finishes buttery with a pleasant aftertaste. For less than $7 it's a treat.

Can't go wrong with a Fuente. They are milder than I usually like, but the flavors are there.

How was that CAO?

After 2 days of working at the new place I am tired and sore but still kickin'. Smoking a Schizo tonight in 37* weather at 11:30pm. It's been tight time wise, but I'll still smoke when I can.

CAO, was excellent, part of the assortment from CI,

HRK, Any flavors you could pick up out of it, strength, any other notes you can share?

I'm sitting out smoking a Schizo maduro getting ready for funeral services this afternoon. It really sucks when it is for a 1 year old child. I am not looking forward to this. She had Dravet Syndrome, a form of Epilepsy. I can not imagine what my friends are going through. Please, hug your children tight and be there for them no matter what.

Finally tried a Skizo Torpedo last night. Wasn't bad for an inexpensive cigar. Not great but a nice burning smoke.

Brad, I am glad you reported how the Schizo was. Like I said, it is not a Fuente or Padron, but a decent cigar at a really good price to work around the house and not mind if something happens to it. I tried smoking a Man O War while snowblowing one time, never again! It'll be a Schizo or wait until I'm done.

petr, it is labeled as a medium body maduro it's very smooth, oily feeling, smooth even burn no heat down to the wrapper, hints of chocolate/cocoa, I nutty, excellent aroma, I have a couple more I need to smoke just to be sure, it is an interesting smoke.

Retailing around $8 it smokes more like a $15 cigar, pick one up you won't be disapointed


, CAO Pilon, they have turned the dial back to revive a nearly forgotten method of tobacco fermentation, the circular pilon. In a traditional pilon, the tobacco is sorted into ‘hands,’ 10-15 leaves tied together, placed in a stack, and left to ferment with the ambient temperature. A circular pilon is more time consuming, whereas the hands are carefully laid out in a circular pattern. This method allows for slower fermentation and a richer, more enhanced flavor in the leaf.

CAO Pilon is sheathed in a beautiful Ecuador Habano wrapper surrounding long leaves from Nicaragua. Medium-bodied and extremely flavorful, expect your palate to be dazzled by nuances of spice, cedar, pepper, nuts, and cocoa. CAO Pilon contains a mosaic of flavors setting you up for an extremely gratifying experience.

I could not agree more with the write up..

Thanks! I'll have to give it a try.

These might be worth a try for the Eiroa fans.

Post a pic of the box. That has to be the coolest box I've seen in a long time. I like it better than the Tat dress boxes.

Re: Davidoff Year of the Monkey - 2016
Turns out this could easily be the greatest, and I mean greatest stick I've ever had. A bit of pepper, with an overall tone of cedar. Towards the end it got a bit spicy, but not overpowering.

Guys, if you can get your hands on one of these, or a box even, do so!

ETA - Just noticed this is the 3000th post in this thread...to celebrate I am offering a Karma of 1 Davidoff Year of the Monkey stick. (plus a few extra's from the humidor) Winner will be drawn Thanksgiving morning

Wow! 3000 posts!!! Thanks for the generous Karma and throw my name in the hat please!

That's awfully generous of you, Ronin. I would love to be considered for your Davidoff karma...that looks delicious!!

Thank you!!
