Great question. I've been on this hunt for a while. Try Pepin's Cuban Classic. Shockingly similar. Also the My Father #1 is a fair match.

Good plan. 🤣

It's an interesting exercise to think about how much room you have. I feel like I go through those gyrations every time I want to order new sticks. Addressing the "buddy" scenario, if a buddy asked to put a few boxes away for a year+ I would advise him to break open his boxes, and get started...

Ooh, that's a little mean. On the other hand, some are deserving. You've convinced me: I need a stash of Power Rangers in the humidor for those special visitors.

Recently a La Palina El Diario put me in my place. Didn't expect it, but it packed a hammer. LfD Dbl Ligaro as I've seen a few times here. I've had a few ISOM Partagas sit me down.

Adding a little bit at a time. Progress.

I picked up a batch of macanuto cafe court (a smaller relative of the stick you're talking about) in late September. It smoked like I'd imagine the grass from my front yard. I went back and smelled the batch and sure enough, there was ammonia. Seems clear the manufacturer gave this no aging at...

An update: I've been using the app for a short time now. It's the best cigar tool I didn't know I wanted / needed. Fantastic and thanks again! I find that I can very quickly add new acquisitions, or I can spend more time pulling documentation like CA ratings and reviews. Obviously the latter...

This is a great recommendation. Thanks. And now to dive down the rabbit hole and start documenting my collection. See ya'll next year!

Very cool. Added my info!

Cigar rehab. Yes, let's go ahead and torch a few and talk about it.

Just beautiful. Gratz!

OK, thanks. Do a quick google of "Rain City Cigar" in Seattle and that should get you where you need to be. 3 locations: one in South Seattle (where I shop), one in Bellevue, and their newest shop in Kirkland (visited recently, very nice). Check the website "events" page for upcoming events...

That is definitely a good spot. Solid recommendation. I need to re-visit at some point... been a while. Still, that's notably far south of the Greater Seattle area for anyone looking for that experience. Really, it's in the Tacoma metro area. Worthwhile, but different city.

I'll send you a detailed DM shortly. They can be pretty cool events with sponsored discounts and swag gifts.

Wow this is a great thread. Just put in my first order at cigarpage. Thanks!

In order... Partagas SD4 (ISOM) AF Hemingway Best Seller Liga Privada t52 robusto (technically Oscuro, but close enough to Maduro?) Like others, ask again in 5 minutes and this will change...

So many great collections. Love the antiques in these posts. Mine is a standard Stinky... nothing too special. Been around so long it's like it's an old friend along for the journey.

Does anyone know of regular get-togethers / herfs in the Greater Seattle area? There's a great cigar retailer in the area that holds regular sponsored events (am I allowed to mention them by name? not yet clear on the rules here). Those are cool, but they're not really organized herfs per se.
