Thanks Jay. I’ll keep my eye out tomorrow.

I am with Jay on the Partagas Maduro No. 1 as well as the Partagas D No. 4. Montecristo Petite Edmundo is another

I have had a few of these and they are consistently good.

I've had a couple of the MF Las Antillas Maduro and liked those. I have one stick of the Le Bijou 1922 to try out still.

Jay, I'm also a fan of all those sticks you listed above. I finally tried my first Partagas Maduro after letting them rest for a bit and it was very good. The stick I tried had sweet chocolate notes to it.

Today’s haul from Peter Heinrichs.





Now the hard part - what to smoke first!

Ahhh, who am I kidding. I knew what I would go to first!

Those Open eagle with some age on them are fantastic, you can getboxes pretty damn cheap too, if you are patient enough to age them.

Thanks Jay, I’ll let those age a while.

Called Hiland's Cigar the other day to reorder Padron 1964 Exclusivio Maduro, was told they are in very short supply due to political problems in Nicaragua. This is not good news and I'm guessing it will be an issue with other brands, too.

Wonder when I'll be able to take a picture like this again?

Anyone interested in some trading for a box, less two, of Rafael Gonzalez petite corona code SOM May 2016. Just aren't doing it for me. They weren't expensive so no crazy trades or full value needed. Figured maybe someone would want to try these. My email address is in my profile.




I ran a quick dive trip yesterday morning and was able to enjoy a RyJ Exhibicion #4 while they were down on their first dive.

Hey Steel sounds like a few mailbox bombs would be great for that box.

Viaje Summerfest has easily become my Cigar of the year. I started with a 10 pack, then quickly found 2 more boxes and bought all the singles I could find. Ended up with 101 of them total.

Jay I had a summerfest probably 2013 or 2014. It was one of the worst cigars I've ever had. Up until that point I like Viaje and smoked them quite regularly, I don't think I've had a viaje since my experience with that summerfest.

It was 2013

2015 was a new blend, though I found 10 from 2012 that have a similar profile as the 18. Whatever they did they got it right for me. I can send you a couple if you like.

Oh. Just read the halfwheel review. Prior to 2015 everything Viaje came from Raices Cubana, in 2015 they moved to the aganorsa factory. They are now rolled and shipped under EP Carillo and Casa Fernandez (now called Aganorsa) and use only aganorsa tobacco.

I try all kinds of stuff from casa Fernandez and I keep wanting to like it but I rarely do. Warped guardian of the farm is the only cigar they manufacture that I regularly buy. I recently tried La Palina's Nicaraguan offering and it was okay nothing special.

Thanks for the generous offer but I'll pass. I am out of room for cigars. I have to be on a buying hiatus till the tat sns kits arrive so I have room for that bundle. After I got a Winedor I told my wife I wouldn't have Tupperware cluttering up the place. Apparently she is going to hold me to that.

I forgot the sns kit was coming soon. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks Jay. I still have your address from before. I'll try to get this out sometime between today and Monday.

If any of you guys would like to try some of the RG petite coronas, email me with you address for some karma sticks.

Hey guys, just got back home from the trip where I bought all those Cubans in Germany.

Do I need to stick them in the freezer for a few days or are they good to go right into the humidor?

Thanks!
