More...

I dont know Gerry. I dont see any partagas maduro or seri E.

Calaveras 17 is good, has a hoppy grassy last 3rd that Im hoping goes away with some age. Decided i needed another to scratch that itch.

Incredible flavors so far. Some spice, mild pepper and floralness.

This has turned into the Half Ashed Cuban Lounge :-)

I'm not tempted to order more, I'm not tempted to order more...

I've got a box of the E's but never tried the Maduro in the line.

Todays mail.

Damn! Is there any tobacco left in the world?! You boys are buying it all up!

8 more boxes on the way. At some point they will get here.

Instant Karma:

Up for an instant Karma is a black Macanudo ash tray that I recently received from CI. Send me an email, with your address and I'll ship it out at no charge.

Thanks to all for a great sub-Forum.

Very generous Duck hunter, please excluded me as I have too many ashtrays.

Agreed!

I too have plenty of ashtrays, so please do not include me in your karma. Great to see you posting in here, hope you do more often!

Duckhunter,

Thanks for the generous offer. I'll let one of the other members take advantage of this nice offer.

Tell us about your cigar likes. What types, flavor preferences, experiences, etc.

Nice to have you,
Gerry

Sounds like you might be getting a cigar bomb soon....

Thanks for the comments guys!

My tastes are pretty tame. I enjoy a medium cigar: Arturo Fuente 858 or Hyde Park, Partagas maduro and am also a fan of CAO; Pilion, gold and Brazils.

I usually only smoke a couple of sticks per month, unless it's duck season - then i indulge a couple of cigars each visit to the blind.

I enjoy reading this thread - and seeing all the recommendations.

Thanks,

Eric

Continuing my "try something different" quest. Today was an AJ Fernandez Enclave broadleaf. Wow, talk about peppery! From the beginning all the way through. Got a little milder in the middle but near the end now and the pepper is back. Anyone else had one of these?

Furlough, I've had one but it didn't wow me. I'm usually a fan of Fernandez offerings.

I had a couple of those AJ broadleafs. Really strong, maybe too strong, but I really enjoy the broadleaf flavors and if you can get past the pepper they are really tasty. A little aging time settles the pepper a bit.

Thanks guys - that matches up with what I tasted today. It was new, it was in the local shop, so I tried it. I might grab a couple and bring them home and let them age for a while.
