I'll agree with Wilkey on the Exquisito. As he so eloquently stated: "for their density of flavor". Even without long term aging I enjoy the Exquisito. I don't know about long term aging but I hear they get even (way?) better. Cheers, antaean

Martin, Moochers are a special breed in my book. This contest has nothing to do with moochers. If someone doesn't guess correctly and/or follow the rules soon...I may have to up the stakes. Cheers, antaean

Sorry guys, sack - you editted your post. jkim05 - you've been less than 30 days. Cheers, antaean The rulez is the rulez...sorry

Hello All !!! As seems to be the custom, I am offerring a small contest to mark my one year anniversary and 100th post here at Cigar Pass. I also just got into the Newbie Sampler Deal and will hopefully join a pass before too long. The prize: My congratulations and a fiver of cigars I have...

Better small than nothing at all !!! Don't let these guys yank your chain LOL. Even if you start with a 500-ct something-a-dor or other you will still run out of room eventually. Cheers, antaean

Man, I always seem to be too late for these deals. Cheers, antaean

Beaufort Actually I have no idea whatsoever. But congrats on the anny as I am right behind you. Cheers, antaean

Even for pay just won't do it!!! Besides, I don't think I could finish even if I were to be paid. Ugh. True heroes are still waiting to be found. Cheers, antaean

Well, the weekly special editorial at JR sure sounds like they are at it again: "With all the new items coming out each year, and the possibility of Havana cigars being around the corner, JR just has to "lighten up" on the varieties of packings we carry that involve the exact same cigars... and...

BBS, I like your categories better than mine. Under mooches there is also one that will light the head and smoke from the foot "because everyone knows cutters are a waste of time". LOL Cheers, antaean

I go with 65% for long term storage (2+ years, only recently started trying to age stuff) and most smokes 65% for smoking. But like some others here, I have noticed that some cigars seem to taste better a bit wetter, up to 70%. So I also keep a 70% humidor for some cigars and 65% for others...

For me, there are different categories of "moochers". Friends/BOTL's at work: Not the guys who smoke regularly, but folks who cannot smoke at home for various reasons or are extremely light volume smokers. These people get to share excellent smokes from me which are usually something they have...

Nice study and nicely done. Cheers, antaean

Finally got a Carlos Torano Signature Collection Toro with a lovely dark wrapper last week. I had almost forgotten after 9 weeks. antaean

Definitely #2 - I know HOTT when I see it!! Cheers, antaean

Thanks for the info guys! Cheers, antaean

I have seen a few comments (not sure where) that one need not spend premium bucks for Montecristo (DR) cigars, presumeably because there are many smokes from the DR with the same flavor profile. Unfortunately, I have not found them yet! Can anyone point out a fairly close substitute for the...

You mean there are cigars for sale here? LOL. Never had any 5 Vegas anything....apparently they put people into really bad moods, so I for one won't be trying these anytime soon!!! Cheers, antaean

These are pretty good if you are talking about the 42 ring gauge, hand made models. 3 to 4 years of age in the tubes seems to result in a pretty mellow smoke. Fairly clean tobacco taste with slight hints of floral/herbal, and for me, there is an almost sugar cane type of sweetness on the exhale...
