Ronin1069Any of you guys interested in this cigar? My B&M sold a full box a few months ago, in September they are getting another one to split into pairs of sticks. I’m usually down to try anything, but at $175/stick I think I’ve met my match.
No matter how good they are, I cannot see how they will live up to the hype.
Thoughts/interest?
For the retailers that get a chance to sell the Fuente y Padrón Legends collaboration, it will likely be one of the most expensive—if not the most expensive—boxes of cigars they’ve ever sold. The MSRP for the highly anticipated collaborative project from Arturo Fuente and Padrón is priced at $7,115 per box of 40 cigars, roughly $178 per cigar.
Each box of Fuente y Padrón Legends will contain 40 cigars: 20 made by Arturo Fuente and 20 made by Padrón. Both cigars are 7 x 50 Churchills; the cigar made by Fuente is round, the cigar made by Padrón is box-pressed. No blend details about either cigar have been disclosed.

GustoferIf I had eff you money I'd buy some just because I could, but I can't imagine that there is a cigar out there that is
that much better than a good $10-15 stick.

petrI was gifted one each of the Tatuaje and My Father cigars from the collaboration. These were $65 each and no where near worth that price point. Paying $175 each with the chance of disappointment. No thanks.

EdmondMost I ever spent on a single cigar was $26 at the recommendation of the guy who worked there. Got about 1/4 of the way through and stopped smoking it. Will never do that again.
One day one able to afford expensive cigars but not necessarily spend on one.

OgieA couple of times a year I will have a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur #1 with a natural wrapper. Once is on Father's Day and the other is any good time during the summer after cooking out.
I remember paying $2.69 apiece for them in the 1970s at Tinderbox. When I bought them a couple of months ago they were $13 dollars and change a piece. And no more Tinderbox.

akcopnfbksHad one of the new Foundation Wise Man (blended at the My Father factory now) corojo wrappers last night. Pretty tasty. I can't compare to the previous versions as I never had one, but this one was good and at a good price point ($9-ish). Graham cracker-y sweetness, some baking spice. Creamy in the mouth. A solid medium smoke. Not super complex, but enjoyable the whole way. Couple of minor touch-ups, and during the last 3rd the wrapper started to fall apart because whoever put the band on used too much glue and it stuck. Not blaming that on the cigar though. Worth a 5-pack pickup imho.

TMatsBeautiful day and now evening here in Wyoming. Enjoying an LP #9 with a glass of bourbon. As my brother would say, “I wonder what the Democrats are doing?”
Actually, listening to Kris Kristofferson too. I must admit, I mostly knew him as a songwriter, several songs I didn’t recognize at all.

Appliance BradWhat's your election night smoke?
I'm unopposed in my commissioner race and have a La Placensia Alma de Fuerte hex press on tap for after dinner. It's a long enough smoke that i hope it's a Trump Victory cigar as well.

oddballWas tempted to break out a stick at 2am this morning watching Trump speak, but said "nah..."
But tonight- to President Trump.

Appliance BradWorked 12 hours on the amboolamps today. Home to ribeyes on the grill, baked potatoe and a fresh salad.
Enjoying The Tabernacle from Foundation Cigars and some Bakers single barrel
Stopped off at a grat historic cigar store after work tonight and scored some of this years release of CAO's Amazon Basin which have been fantastic smokes whenever I can find them.

Nice! I need to revisit this one. I tried it once when it first came out and enjoyed it, but not as much as the 149. Hard to go wrong with anything Plasencia.

GA GatorHad to euthanize a beloved pet this week. Just sucks.
Thought I’d turn a Cuban to ashes.
