I would have thought a Trinidad would have made the list... Nice to see some of the not so expensive sticks make the list. Who would have figured a Brick House? yeah I agree. Most of those just aren't my thing. Good to know the critics are unbiased though.

went for the robusto.., only had 3 to choose from.., other vitolas are tough to find in my area

I'm going to go with Acid Nasty. So fitting

What a shame. Sucks that people have to be like this.

Wow, that's really depressing to hear. That was my absolute favorite vitola in this line several years ago. Really hope they haven't gone down hill. If I can find one down here, I'll have to compare the two. Don't know what it was, but the Illusion always impressed me

No, I'm far from an established member on this site, but it's not the BSers that brought me back here after several years. I love seeing what everyone has to say.

wow... That's hefty. Explains why Fuentes can get up there on the likes of CBid. Guess you've gotta love tax free Florida. VSG review is coming tonight. Weather decided to be not so pleasant tonight. 60F will be perfect. Any suggestions on a certain vitola to try?

Happy belated bday!

Welcome to the world. It's a great hobby. I stopped for a while, so I too am getting the pallet back to where it should be. I definitely recommend writing down what you like and don't like. Once you can build a solid foundation for what you like, it's easier to fin new things with similar...

Need to get a humi. The Tupperware can only hold on for so long... Collection is starting to grow again. Only downhill from here

VERY NICE! Congrats one the win. Thanks for the generous contest and all the time you put into it.

maybe I'll knock out a VSG for ya tonight. I'll probably grab a couple more. One to try again soon, and one to lay to rest for a while. I can see where the potential is in this

Not a problem, I look forward to doing a few more of these. I usually smoke at my local B&M, so its pretty easy to keep notes and post as I go with the help of my phone.
