Sounds good, Eric, perhaps later this week. This evening I had intentions of only grabbing some dinner and a couple of cocktails but my feet had other thoughts. Since I was already on Wabash, by feet kept me going and I ended up at Iwan Ries. Talk about being under dressed. :) I showed up in...

Thanks for the suggestions Thanks for the suggestions! So far, I haven't had an opportunity to get out much but that will end soon. I'm taking off early this afternoon to explore a bit. I'm thinking about possibly grabbing a cigar at Iwan Ries. After checking it out online, it seems very...

Haven't been to Chicago in years, especially at this time of the year, which for a Floridian... burrrrr. At any rate, I will be there for a conference next week and even with the cold weather in my sight, I'm looking forward to the trip. In any event, since I will have some time in the...

Matty, I don't have any strong opinion one way or the other; however, if your intent is to simply "find out what all the new cool cigars were", why not just read the board without posting? It's one thing to be a contributing member (in good standing) that actively participates on the board and...

Just got back from a great day at the beach... perfect weather! Now off to a nice dinner and I have an Opus X A waiting for me when I return. Very good birthday that I expect will only get better. :thumbs:

I appreciate it. I'm taking the day off and heading to the beach in a bit with my wife and kids (and of course, a tasty cigar yet to be determined). :)

I'm enjoying a Camacho Triple Maduro this evening and would say that this qualifies as a cigar that I really enjoy. It's not all that complex, fairly straight forward, although one that I can count on every time I pull it from my humi. It's also a great cigar to enjoy after spicy or full...

Never been a big fan of the AF Short Story because... it is usually too "short" of a smoke. However, this evening I got home early from work and had about 30-40 minutes to myself before my kids and wife came home so I pulled one out of the humi. I really enjoyed it as it hit the spot. :)

Wow... looks like we missed each other by a night and a year. I had one of those bad boys last night from 05. I enjoyed it to say the least but as you mentioned, not sure if it was any better aged or not. Been a long time since I had one that was 'fresh'. Nonetheless, it was tasty with the...

There ya' go... had an Imperial the night before last and enjoyed it thoroughly (as usual). :thumbs:

When my wife and I lived in Illinois, I had a very sweet set-up. A room that was off our living room that I made into a theater room. My wife didn't even mind me smoking in there. She had pretty bad sinus problems back then so she couldn't smell much. However, now if I come in after smoking...

I'll go against the grain a bit on this one... lately I have found myself grabbing a Diesel Unholy Cocktail over a Padron 2000/3000, which both boxes ironically sit right next to each other in my humi. Don't get me wrong, as others have mentioned, Padron is a great smoke which is why I'm always...

Just finished up a week in Vegas. Since going without my wife, I opted for less frills with the room so I could have more money to gamble. I think my room at Bills Gamblin Hall will probably smell like a giant cigar for weeks to come. Had a great time and productive financially as well - finally!

I've been in Vegas all week and have enjoyed good smokes every day. Surprising (at least to me) is that my most enjoyable smoke was one that I almost didn't buy... Ilusione 888 with a candela wrapper. I was VERY skeptical about the wrapper but decided what the hell and bought it any way. I...

Actually had one the night before; great smoke but for me,, there are others much stronger such as the LFD DL Chisel and the Camacho Triple Maduro.

I also keep them in their tubes but take off the caps to allow the cigars to breath more. Whether you take the cap off or not, it shouldn't be a big deal; just something I do.

Be sure to try the one you crossed out... damn fine smoke. The Regios is also another favorite although you really can't go wrong with any of the brown label tats.

Yeah, what those guys said. :D Just a side note... what most people, right or wrong, refer to though is strength.

You're right in that time will tell because I highly doubt that he can consistently produce like what we saw earlier this week. Although this is coming from a big McNabb fan... what a classy guy and oh yeah, he did wear Orange back in the day. :thumbs:

Not sure if I would go as far as post of the year, but do agree wholeheartedly.
