More Bday smokes Box of RASS Box of JLP Cazadores Box of SCdLH Oficios Some from last weeks list are here and resting the others should be withing 6-21 days :laugh: :laugh:

I too would like to thank you for the BBQ contributions and the unique perspective on cigars you bring to the table. I think I went on a date with that girl :0 She was wild :laugh: CYG

Smoked a La Aurora 1495 Churchill while I made my rounds and had time driving around. Last night though was a really good evening for a smoke, went out with my better half she smoked a LFD Reserva Especial and I had a SCdLH Principe. This was the first Principe out of its sick period I have...

Great job guys :thumbs: you definitely picked a great target and sounds like you did some awesome damage. CYG

You are a brave, brave soul. I am a total windows homer and I still get nervous when they ask me to be part of their prerelease/beta projects. If I were you I would be careful for the next couple of months. I can't wait to see the new windows though (three+ months after the release :laugh: )

I second the Armor-all and Meguires recommendations. I use the Armor-all and my dad uses the Meguires. Either way both of our windows are clean and streak free even after stogies. CYG

This is the way things should be done. Glad to hear that even though things got messed up that they got fixed and in a mutually agreeable fashion. Good to see that the word "community" holds up in the bad as well as good...at least among gentlemen. CYG

IMHO I would say those are very good guesses. In my mind I am almost positive thats a cuban RyJ. The other pics I can find him in have him hanging out with a graycliff and smoking a Cohiba. CYG

Box of PAM Monarca's Box of Siglo III's Box of VR Famosos Box of Monte Edmundos Box of ERDM Choix Supreme Box of RyJ Churchills These are all Bday Cigar purchases and not all have come in yet... Oh yeah and... New Cooler :laugh: CYG

First "cigar" was either a Dutch master or Middleton Cherry. First real cigar I ever bought was a Don Diego tubo. First real cigar I ever smoked was something my local guy recommended I think an Ashton or Padron. He also recommended most of what have become my top 10 fav NCs. I bought a...

Perhaps just a little above your price range but in the $80-$90 is the Juan Lopez Epi #2. Great straight forward stong tobacco flavor with a pretty good punch thrown in for good measure. I also agree that if you should look to the JdN Antanos and LFP DL lines. CYG

Great job guys, well done to all involved. Just don't get your .50cal boxes mixed up :laugh: CYG

I do a lot of driving during the day so If I dont have to meet with new clients I smoke at least one or two during work hours and then a little something nicer after dinner. CYG

I would like to get in on a few of these as well. Let me know when and how to get in touch with details. I paid $35 for a Limited DCM so why not a limited Taboada? CYG

Yep, that covers it. Though some people enjoy taking the extra time with a soft flame, seems a little smoother/intimate I guess. Torch for me though. CYG

Today I had been reading the Tatuaje reference and decided i needed to check on the progress of my stash. I smoked a Noella and a Unico, both were coming along quite nicely. Might have been the scotch(Laph 10 and Lagavulin 16) but both seemed much better than the last time I tried them...

Happened to me a couple of times last year, empty stomach and an Opus X and then the next week an empty stomach and a VSG guess i didn't get quite sick enough the first time :blush:. I have learned by now though. Thanks for bringing back those fond memories :laugh: CYG

Congrats to all the winners, great contest and super thread Wilkey. We should do this again sometime we can all be practicing so next time the entrys are even more amazing. CYG

Started the research but then real studying got in the way, thanks for the contest. slevy007 - Steve Sosa pyramid hudsonvalley - Tom Fuente Fuente Opus X siriusstogie - Joe AF Between the lines stogieman - Charlie Bolivar PC (ISOM) rob300c - Rob AF Work of Art Natural...

Ah the stoics, love the beauty of the simplicity and relevance of their philosophies. Had a really interesting discussion about them the day before Aurelius's birthday. Glad to see someone else is interested. CYG
