Nice! Is that overflow or are you hiding your purchases from your wife? Doghouse protection in other words. Lol!

GA GatorCmr that is at lot of opuses it's rare that I see that many in a retail store.
Ronin
I know you like IPA but I would recommend a stout, porter, or lager. A bourbon or rye would work as well.

Jaywendland1981I went with a surrogates bone crusher, thanks to Gator's recommendation. So far its pretty good. Some pepper some cocoa, its really smooth.

Jaywendland1981Smooth all the way to the Nub. A good spice, some earthy cocoa flavors with a chocolate finish. If there were any transitions they were subtle. A good smoke overall. I give it a 9.2. Went great with coffee.

petrBone Crusher is good as well as the Tramp Stamp

Jaywendland1981Bought a liga and an oliva V maduro. Since I have the babysitter for a couple more hours I decided to try the Perdomo 12 year maduro. IMO this is the best of the 3 wrappers in the 12 year line. Spice is at the front, cream and cocoa, very pronounced transition at the 2nd 3rd, where the spice bellows out a bit and a sweet flavor developes. Very nice transition for the last 3rd. Heavy spice and sweet finish with some cocoa in the mix. I recommend this one anytime.

Pipe SmokerSomeone on this thread asked me, this morning or yesterday afternoon, if I'd found a cigar I liked. But, oddly, I can't find that post now. The answer: No, I haven't. Ronin1069 suggested the Drew Estate Acid line, and it's on my shopping list, but I haven't bought one yet.
BTW, Ronin, I like bourbon too. I usually drink Jim Beam Black. 8 years old, and pretty good at a moderate price.

petrI don't smoke a . Pipe so I don't know how strong it is. If it is mild in strength, I would point you towards the Man O War Virtue. Medium strength would go towards the MUWAT Kentucky Fire Cured or the Spectre or a My Father le Bijou or a Fuente Short Story. High test would go for a La Gloria Cubana Serie N or R. There are other power houses as well, but you may want to start there in asking an employee of your local shop.

Pipe SmokerAh, I found the post; it was on a different Lounge thread, "Goodbye Keurig, hello Technivorm". Jaywendland1981 asked: "Btw Pipe smoker did you ever find a cigar that agreed with your taste?"

Final bump...I'll draw tonight and ship tomorrow.

Please do not include me but that is very generous of you Ronin!
I'm sitting on the porch enjoying one of my standbys while perusing the Sig Forum.
I'm smoking a Ramon Allones Specially Selected from March 2012. It is my favorite Robusto and it's always consistently good, fresh or aged. It is about $7.25 a stick in a 50 Cab.

petrI just got back in from the garage and smoked a Tatuaje 10th Anniversary. Oh what a great smoke!
December 21, 2014, 03:55 PM
Jaywendland1981Walking around the. Christmas festival in spring. Some guys were smoking stogies and handing out samples. Southern Draw is the brand. Local Texas company using Nicaraguan tobacco. Ill report on this one when I finish it.

YellowJacketHey Ronin, sign me up. Thanks for the great karma.
There ain't much difference in the man I want to be and the man that I really am. December 21, 2014, 09:07 PM

Winner winner Chicken Dinner! Couldn't really use the Karmanator on this whole thread so I took the folks who said "in" and rolled dice.
Petr came up first. He graciously asked not to be included for the Monster so he gets the TATUAJE TAA 2014.
Yellowjacket - you got in by the skin of your harry chin-chin and drew next, so you get the 2014 Tatauje Monster Jekyll.
Send me your addresses (e-mail in my profile), and I'll get them out tomorrow. It seems silly to send just one cigar so I will also include a Macanudo 1997 Vintage for each of you. Hope you enjoy, and congrats!

GA GatorI succumbed to peer pressure and had a Tatuaje 10th anniversary. With Samuel Smith India pale ale. What a great beer I'm not an ipa fan due to most craft beer IPAs high on the IBU bitterness scale. But this beer is very good.

Ronin1069Almost didn't get a smoke in tonight, but circumstances changed last minute and I had a couple hours with a very good friend. Wanted to smoke something special so I broke out an Opus Lost City and had with a black ale. What a terrific combination!
