I did not participate in the Secret Santa event (regrettably), but concur with your thoughts Spivy. This week, I had a BOTL send his end of a trade first even though I'm a newbie around here. Looking forward to many years of good fun here. Thanks all.

I had one of these in the corona size a few weeks ago and liked it -- though didn't think it was spectacular. Your description is apt: woody with a hint of sweetness, perhaps from the barrel. For BOTLs in the DC area, Draper's happens to have a special on these through Dec. 15, I think. I think...

I'll have to try these, as I've recently been jazzed by the LFD line (cabinet oscuros in particular). Reminds me that I once had a RP Edge that reminded me of beef jerky. At the time, I hated it. Maybe I should revisit.

Definitely makes me want to smoke the Unicos I've had resting in the humidor for 9 months. I've recently fallen in love with the Tat cazadores. It's a nice size for the brown labels and, to me, the most aromatic of the line. (Not sure if it's as good as the Havana VI hermosos, however).

I didn't have a humidor for years. I'd typically buy a couple singles or maybe 5 at a time. Then I'd smoke one or two on a weekend and leave the rest on a shelf in the bathroom, which typically stayed a little more humid than the rest of the house. Very crude, I know, but the point is it's not...

Wow, the legendary Moki himself. I'm honored. Do you know if the bruising also imparts some unique sweetness or other flavor quality. These are nice cigars either way, just curious about what it does. When I think bruising, I usually think bananas - and that's not necessarily a happy...

Couple of decent buys there, IMO. But I'm not usually a sampler buyer. I know what I like and tend to buy those, rather than some mixed bunch of cigars that typically includes something I don't want. Different strokes.

Yeah, probably either sun spots or water spots. No harm, no foul either way.

May be a minority opinion, but I prefer the 64s in maduro and the 26s in natural. The 64s are more chocolatey (to me) and the 26s in natty wrapper really capture that smooth, nuttiness. Still, I'll never turn down either in either wrapper. I'm no fool. :)

Honestly, is there anything lovelier than a PAM in its natural habitat?

Well, to each his own, I guess. I smoked the beli and loved it and bought some more. Not terribly complex, but very nice warm, nutty/toasty flavor to me.

Same thing happened to me when I smoked a chiselito one Saturday afternoon in the summer sun and on an upset stomach. Worst cigar experience of my life. I've since grown to enjoy fuller cigars, but know under which conditions to tackle the baddest of the bad boys. I have a chisel resting in my...

Here's one for the good of the order. I attended an LFD event at a local B&M recently and ended up in a discussion with the company rep about the Cabinet oscuros, which I happen to enjoy. He said that the aging process, in addition to the usual fermenting, involves some sort of bruising of the...

And this is why Joe can afford to do these deals... I went for 20 of the JJs but resisted tacking on other stuff. Seriously, this is the best deal I've seen from Joe in a while. Never tried these, but figure I'll like them - and if I don't, I can sell cheaply to a fellow BOTL and pass along the...

I tend to agree that I'd like to try a torp sampler first. Anybody who's tried the cammies: how do they compare to Oliva and the Leon Jimenez 2001 Cameroon -- which is my favorite. Thanks.
