    Which would you visit?

    I am going to be driving with my family by Allentown, Pa., on Saturday. I noticed that both Famous and CI have large retail outfits both close to each other and not far from the highway. Has anyone been to either? Am thinking I have one shot - can't make the family endure two side trips. Or...

    Golf Course Cigars

    Golf? I play golf (albeit poorly) just to be able to smoke more cigars. Like others, I simply grab whatever I fancy that day. John

    Better Order Your Opus X Now

    Just had a weekend of golf in Las Vegas. Couldn't break away to get to Casa Fuente - a great spot I got to visit last year. When i first saw this thread - I thought, "wow" like others about the online Opus prices. But - OMG - I saw a cigar store at the Las Vegas airport. that puts those...

    Punch Black Prince 2000

    Coincidentally just had one of these from a shop I found in Hungary. I wish my experience had been as good as yours. Perhaps I kept thinking it would be "maduro-like" since the name and even darker wrapper made me expect a bolder cigar. Still a good CC. John

    In Budapest May 1-8

    Was curious about the black prince. It is slightly darker than the other cubans I bought - but clearly not maduro darkness. Nothing I've seen written about them seems to confirm them being maduro either. Just had a Cuaba short figurado. What a great smoke. John

    In Budapest May 1-8

    Trip Report: Got in on Saturday to enjoy the area. Turns out most of the world celebrates May 1 as a holiday but the US - so most shops were closed - but the "touristy" things were open. Best photo I can take from my blackberry is below. Local cigar scene seems to be dominated by a single...

    In Budapest May 1-8

    Get to go to Budapest for first week of May on business. Based on web search, looks like Cigar Tower is the major retailer there. Also looks like govt imposes healthy tax on cigars (I say - welcome to the NY-CT area). Anyway - any BOTLs in Budapest open for a smoke (or anyone have...

    El Triunfador #4

    I know El Triunfador. El Triunfador is a friend of mind. You, sir, are no El Triunfador. Or the line goes. I knew this was a new blend of the "old" name. I still have 20 of a box of OR Triunfador Lanceros I bought a year ago. Love that dark, oily wrapper, maduro-type taste. Mmmm. But we...

    Beautiful - and very ambitious. You could put my entire B&M's stock in that. And him too. Congratulations. John
