I've had good luck with the JR Alts. I've had a couple bundles of the JR Limited Montecristo C's, some of the Fuente Rothchilds,The Partagas Black series was fun, and I have some of the JR Special Coronas comming today. I've found that they all are constructed well, burn well, and are pretty...

I wanted to share a story my wife told me this week. My wife is a Plumber (yes Plumber!) and was doing a remodel in Marin. There were two Carpenters there working, and one of them tells the other that an affluent friend of his jus returned from a South American trip. The traveler gave him what...

You guys are great! Thanks for the info. I feel ALOT better about the direction I'm going in. I won't spend anymore time wondering if my budget was causing unessessary grief. You all have a great day and a nice smoke!

Thanks for the welcome! Great advice from all. I just ordered A La Herencia brand sampler to check out the line, (stock getting dangerously low) and I'll get a sampler comming to continue the search. Life is good! :thumbs:

Hi there, I thought I would make my first post kind of a formal introduction with a couple questions thrown in. I gather that participation is encouraged on this forum, and while I don't have alot to offer experiance wise,I thought I'd jump out of peepdom and say hi. I've been in to Cigars for...
