I haven't had the chance to try the Padron 80th yet, but those Opus Lanceros are awesome. The thin ring gauge makes them SO much more flavorful than the regular lines.
It's sad how easily you can get fake cuban cigar bands and seals. I remember seeing a site a while back that offered unused bands and seals. SCARY!
Even though I've only used one very reputable vendor (and a lot of friends from another board) to get ISOMs I've still gotten the occasional fake...
Wow Mike, those are awesome! I'm jealous of your ISOMs. I used to have some boxes of Montes, Bolis, and a few scattered Cohibas and Partagas. With all the attention lately I haven't wanted to take the risk and order any more. Besides, cbid usually takes care of my cigar budget for me. :laugh...
It sounds like you need a new job if you're working that much and still broke! :laugh:
I'd head down to Casa Fuente and pick up something you've never smoked before. One of my students once asked me "What's a $75 cigar taste like?" I told him "It tastes about as good as a $20 cigar, but it...
I love cigar porn, and love looking at others collections. Show my yours and I'll show you mine! :laugh:
My recent stash
These are from a small cigar website I put up recently. It's nothing fancy: Rich's cigar site
You know, as much as I love maduro Fuentes, I've still never tried a WOAM. I'm going to have to look for a few of those somewhere. They're the short figurados, right?
Oops! Sorry about that - I figured it'd go in the cigar accessories forum. Mods, feel free to move it.
I looked all over the Wal-Mart website, but didn't find them there. If you wawlk in they're in the furniture section.
Wal-Mart right now is selling these great little stands for $33. I bought one for my front porch, and some for the cigar shop I work at. They are the perfect size for a round ashtray (like the stinky for instance), and are the perfect height for setting next to a chair. Thought I'd let everyone...
Someone gifted me 2 of these beauties. I'm a Fuente whore, but I'd never seen the maduro Hemingways. He said he had a tough time finding them himself. It was one of the BEST Fuentes I've ever had. Had all the Hemingway flavor that I love, but a nice sweetness with the maduro wrapper. I'm...
That's awesome - I love seeing the generosity of the BOTLs here. Good play!
I need to take a trip out to Casa Fuente sometime. It's my Mecca. :laugh: Being the Fuente whore that I am I'd love to see all the cigars you can't find anywhere (and I can't afford anyway :laugh:)
I think we're going to end up splitting the difference and getting both. I'm a submariner myself, but I do think the USMC ones look cooler. I have been trying to think of a way to make the sub one look better, but haven't come up with any ideas. I think it's just the cooler colors in the marine...
Thanks for all the opinions! (I love getting my ego stroked. :laugh:) Actually, it's very helpful. I want to make sure we put out some good stuff. When these cigars come in I'll let everyone know so we can send them out. I plan on buying a few boxes of the Submarine ones to hand out to friends.
Step 1: Lay them all out nicely on a cookie sheet
Step 2: Aim the hair dryer at the beads
Step 3: Turn on hair dryer
Step 4: Vacuum up beads that are now scattered all around the kitchen
Step 5: Order a new pound of beads
TRUST me on this one - use the oven. :laugh:
I'm curious where you live...
I've somehow in the last year lost 2 Xikars and 2 Carbon Fiber Palios. Luckily I found a BOTL who sold me two of the Xikars with the German steel. I'd be sick if I broke those since (I think) they don't make them with the German steel anymore.
100% warranty baby! You can't beat that.
Bucanero wants to do a special blend for our shop, and they asked if we had any ideas for bands. Since we have such a huge military population I decided to make up some military ones. I think I came up with something I like, but I'd LOVE advice, ideas, criticism, or anything else to make them...
