Monte #2. Still one of my favorite island smokes. They seem to do pretty much everything very, very well. SAT SEP 18

COTM for me was the Tatuaje Miami Gran Cojonu. As I said in the 'Today's Smoke' thread, I typically don't care for big ring sticks. This 6X60 monster was a wonderful surprise; rich, full smoke with tons of flavor and complexity. Like most Tatuaje, they really open up with some down time. So...

Well done..!!

Love them. A stellar smoke.

Another one of these. The dichotomy of cigars...I'm not a fan of huge ring gage smokes but these are rich, complex, and really wonderful if a bit of a time commitment. Yes, I got another box....😎

In my biased opinion, the little R44 in the Rosado line is the best of the line. Been known to have a box in the cabinet now and then.

I was out and about yesterday, didn't see the notice. All good here, have fun..!!

Shiiiiit..!! Well, If I missed it, the lesson ie learned....ugh.

....wishes do come true, occasionally... 🤣

These are worthwhile smokes. My faves in the line are (in no particular order) the MOFOH Pirimide Corte Suave, the MOFOH Robusto Trinity, the Queen Corona N5 and the Pirimade N2. The little Petite Corona N4 is pretty darn good, too..... I've got a few but I'll reorder in the next month or so.

We've got a bunch of GREAT new members who'd have told him this is without question, the best cigar forum going. As the guy in the movie said....."you chose poorly".... :cool:

...let me give you a second reason not to participate...

Congratulations...!!

Impossible to list 'everything' but no red flags in your list that can see. I can echo everything said by HT above, good advice. Get in on the noobie sampler sooner than later, great cigars there. Soon you'll find your 'style'; the burly Nicaraguan sticks, the milder Connecticut wrapped sticks...

I often recommend a Padron 2000 natural, but the Macanudo Gold that John recommend is probably another great 1st time choice.

Just saw this; very nice..!! I've got one of Bob's (Staebell) cooled humidors, and everything, fans included, run on 24V. Half the current. Not sure its significant, but interesting...well done..!!

Solid smoke...DT&T Umbagog toro. Bang for the buck...a splendid smoke. Classic NC flavors, flawlessly constructed.

....very well done, mad bomber....😎

Added mine up, didn't spend a lot of time chasing best prices; most came from Atlantic. Mine came to $128.95. So, perhaps not a 'smoking' deal (nice pun, eh..??.. 🤣) but I consider it a fair deal and the assortment is great. 10 sticks; RML, Mi Querida, Umbagog, Stillwell Star, Todos Las Dias...

DT&T 'Emerald Fish' for the evening smoke. Very full body, plenty of oomph. A full tummy cigar, to be sure. Very wonderful.
