Boli PCs are my favorite Petite Corona. I always have at least one full box tucked away for emergencies. :-)   Another PC that I like is the Juan Lopez. Doesn't get a lot of love from folks, but I enjoy them. And of course, the Monte #4 is a great cigar, though a bit pricey for a PC.

My "first" was a fresh Opus X  (Fuente Fuente size). Had to really work it to keep it lit, and about halfway through, it hit me. I managed to drive home, and then just collapsed on the sofa. Couldn't watch the NCAA basketball tournament, as all the players running back and forth made me dizzy.  ...

Double Chateau Fuente SG for me. The SG wrapper holds up to the varying weather conditions, and it's a 9-hole cigar for me. Two in my bag, and I'm good to go.   And as a PSA - NEVER put your cigar on the ground. Between herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers and such, there is nothing good that can...

It's always fun, preparing the cigar line-up for a vacation. Digging through storage, trying to accomodate all possible scenarios (petit coronas for breakfast, cigars for the golf course, cigars to share with buddies, etc...). Of course, I never smoke all of what I take - I'm an over-packer. LOL

For me, it's either a Cuban cigar or something from the Fuente line. I've been big into Fuentes since I started smoking cigars 20 years ago.   And my opinion is that I still get as much pleasure and enjoyment out of the various Fuentes (858 natties and SG, Double Chateau Fuente SG, DC #2...

The first year, it was held in June. But these past two years, it's been held towards the end of September. So it appears that you have 11 months to save those pennies !

If you like Fuente cigars, you would definitely enjoy it. Lots of product, the opportunity to buy cigars at MSRP as well as purchase some cigars that you might not see otherwise. Lots of good folks there as well as the Fuente Family (Sr, Carlito, Cynthia and some of the younger generation).  ...

Sorry to hear this, and best wishes in her search for a new job. My recommendation would be to start looking NOW ! A job search can take quite a while. And should something come about sooner than September, well, you have the severance to help with the child care   One thing I've learned is that...

To each their own. I picked up a box of the 806's this fall, and I prefer them over the box of standard Casa Fuente Corona Gordas that I bought the previous year. The yellow bands cigars seem aren't quite as full as the orange band cigars, which is more my speed. But really, you can't go wrong...

I took care of myself this year - a box of Anejo #60, a box of 858SGs and a box of Best Seller maduros. Oh, and another cooler, as my others are packed to the gills. :whistling:

No complaints here on the Chateau Fuente line. Small ones are great when you only have 45 minutes or so, the SG Double Chateau is my go-to on the golf course (lasts for 9 holes so I smoke two of them) and the Cuban Belicoso is fantastic. Shop around, as prices vary. But as Rod said, check out...

Most is seven in a day. At herfs and events at cigar stores, it is just non-stop smoking. Its not until you tally the total at the end of the day to you realize how many cigars you smoked.

Just goes to show different strokes for different folks. I've smoked through numerous boxes of these, as it is one my go to golf cigars. Smoke one of these on the front 9 every week, and they are full of flavor, burn great and hold up to the varying weather conditions without issue.

I have found that I am suspectible to sinus infections when I send a lot of time in B&Ms with poor ventilation. The first time it happened, I failed to make the connection. But when it happened a second time, the pattern was evident.

I fight the same battle constantly, and lose more often than not. I vow to do better and smoke the good stuff even when it seems the circumstances are less than ideal ! Thanks for the reminder.
