Decending to a dimly lit lounge that's nice but styled after the rat pack era. I wanted to yell Sammy! DEAN! However they have good bourbon bookers right now. And I chose a Paul Stulac Nicaraguan. It's tasty only $14.00

They have ghurka for $20 I was tempted to ask if they paid me the $20.00 An opus lost city Lancero is $65.

I swear the lyric in the song playing was. "I love Vegas like Khrushchev loves being indignant"

Ohh the places cigars take us.

Are those cheap prices, compared to where you live?

And 20$ isnt enough for me to smoke another Gurkha! lmao. They would have to give me the lost city to chase the gurkha down with.

No those are ridiculous prices. My comment on $14 not being to bad was in comparison to the ones I mentioned and others on the list. It should have been an $8-$9.

They sure as hell are ridiculous, that lost city price is more than double what I pay!

Just picked up a box of Padron Family Reserve 50 Years Maduros. Can't wait to try these sticks.

The #50? I really want to try those, please post your thoughts when you smoke one.

Well with only 4 entering the karma, you'll had a pretty good chance! After listing out the names and assigning numbers, my wife picked number 2... Leemur, shoot me an email with your name and address so I can have cigar.com send out your sticks!

Congrats Lee!! Thanks for the chance at this generous karma, Goat.

Those Hammers look quite good too.

Congrats Lee. Hope you enjoy those wooden tips.

Wooooo!

Email sent. Thank you!

Hey Lee, I just picked up dying light. Send me a message next time your playing, I'm dying(pun intended) to try the multiplayer.

Email sent re: dying light

CLE connecticut 11/16?(weird size) this one has aged well! More spice than I remember, lots of creamy, coffee flavors. The nub of these is the best part from what i remember, alot like the Por larranaga cabinet seleccions I bought a bunch of, the last couple inches are caramel/tootsie roll.

Lee, Package arrived safe and sound! Thank you! I have not had any of those that you sent. After a bit of rest in the humi I will enjoy them.

My newest additions. They smell like cocoa.

All of them are good but that Brickhouse is incredible. Hope you enjoy them!

I liked the brickhouse maduro I got from CIs monthly club. It was the mighty mighty size! That thing smoked for about 4 hours while I was at work.

I couldn't wait, just lit up a new perdomo. Construction is excellent, pre light draw is just like the aroma, cocoa. These are really firm to the touch, I was worried it might have a tight draw but on first light I was hit with a red pepper spice and nice easy draw. Hints of cocoa and a sweet aftertaste, almost like vanilla. These are really heavy in the hand, heavier than other smokes in my humidor of a similar size.

Ill update in a Little bit.

Perdomo edicion de silvio maduro, toro.

A little more than a third in, the red pepper is still strong, possibly getting stronger. There's a more pronounced cocoa/chocolate flavor and some black coffee, or more like espresso flavor. Everything is really smooth, with an oakiness(is that a word?) To it. This would pair well with Bourbon. The retrohale Burns a little. Very peppery.


Just hitting the final third, the pepper has intensified even more And the espresso flavor is almost as strong, there's now a strong oak flavor/smoothness and the retrohale is cocoa/ish. There's a nice chocolatey finish and a mild burn on the lips. Ill rate it a 95 before I even finish. This is a fantastic smoke even for the 20$ single price (though I got the box of 10 for 105$) I am serously impressed! Don't hesitate to try these.

Good info in the Silvio, Jay.. Sounds fantastic. I'll keep my eye out.

Started the day off yesterday with a Rocky Patel Olde World Rserve maddy. It was a very good cigar that had heavy notes of spice, leather, and a nuttiness towards the end of the cigar that was left on the palate. The weather wreaks havoc on cigars here (it'd been in my truck in a traveldor for a couple of days and I let in warm up before starting, but the -15 got to it), and I split the head of the cigar whilst performing my cutting routine. Despite the crack and having to touch up the foot a couple of times, I enjoyed the cigar.

Our next gar was another La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor. It was very similar to the one we smoked last week.. Awesome prelight draw, and lots of complex flavors.. I'll be honest and admit that I picked up a sourish/chemical flavor in the first half dozen puffs (although I don't know if the smoke was just interacting poorly with something on my palate). Lots of smoke, and tons of spice, dark chocolate, carmely flavors.

We finished the night with a Man O' War OCC toro (6.5x52). I'm a big fan of the MOW line, and this gar didn't disappoint! I'm not sure if it's because I switched to a lighter coffee for this cigar, but it didn't seem to have the crazy fullness that I was expecting out of a MOW cigar. Lots of cocoa, and a chewy earthiness that grew as we smoked the stick.

Lee, your UPS tracking number is: 1ZEW9678YN52227273.

Had a My Father Connecticut last night it is a quality cigar just to mild for my tastes.
