Like others have said, I think the auction ones look funny, too. Notice the numbers start with 0000**. Why would you put a 5 digit number on a box slated for just 666 units. Mine looks just like the pics posted in this post...red shrpie numbers in the oval. Just as a FYI..The name of the seller...

Mine was red number 169. Anyone think these ebay tat monster boxes may be a little funny? Here's the link.. http://cgi.ebay.com/Tatuaje-Monster-The-Fr...%3A1|240%3A1318 Also, it looks like Pete has signed the front of the boxes unlike mine. Think these must just be early releases? I'm not...

I just received a box yesterday of the new Tat Monster series Frank cigars. I have a question for those of you that received a box of these. I was just curious last night and ebay'd them. A guy on there was selling empty boxes (a cool coffin shaped box, sliding lid, seal on the bottom). Each box...

Yes! A big thanks to Aaron for the ESG...I was wondering if you'd recognize that stick. It was a heck of a smoke. I have a couple of the VSG's, but I'm gonna put back a couple of the ESG's now. Thanks again!!

Thanks guys...I smoked two cigars that I wouldn't have had if it wasn't for this great place. The first was an Ashton ESG I got in a newbie sampler, and the second was a Tat Black I bought from John. Both great cigars, but the Tat Black was exceptional. That shaggy foot gave me some burn...

Thanks for the info guys!!

Aging characteristics is something I hadn't even considered as a factor. I'd be grateful if you had any further info on this as well. Like I said, I can find info on Cohibas...but, aren't they kind of like a different beast than other ISOMs because of the extra fermentation they go through? I...

So...I'm headed to a Fuente Toast Across America event tomorrow. Can someone give me an idea of what to expect? They give the date and location on the website, but that's all the info they give. Is it an all day thing, or do they have a event at a special time? I assume that they'll be selling...

I searched and found some specific info on specific brands, but never found the info of whether the box code was a "rolled" time or "packaged" one. It just surprised me that I got a box that was a year old. I assumed that these things sold quickly. Every other box I've received had a date code...

Hello all, I have a question about box codes. I recently came into possession of two boxes of nice cuban smokes. The first was H. Upman Mag 46's with a box code of ENE 08. The second was El rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme's with a box code of OCT 07. So, here's the question...are box codes...

OK, 60 percent it is!! The jury has spoken!!

Don's price went out today... H Human Mag 46 ISOM Opus Power Ranger Cohiba Robusto ISOM Piedra Machine made Breva ISOM and a Monster Stick when I get shipment. Hope this qualifies as a great prize. This is only my second contest, so I hope it meets Don's expectations. Congrats, Don.. And again...

Wow, you guys are great. It's wonderful to have such knowledgeable people giving me such great advice. Looks like I'm in the market for some 65% Heartfelt beads for my Cuban Humi. Thanka again everyone! Cheers, Chad

I was very happy to do it, plus I'm glad the prize went to a great guy like Don. I know I've made mistakes on here, but I want to make this place my permanent home. John told me to pay it forward whenever I can, and I hope to do so. Plus, I want to gain enough trust to get into one of those...

Don, Looks like you won. It was the great JFields. Email me your addy and I'll get these to you as soon as the Monster's arrive. -Chad

I was just now reminded of a BOTL that went out of his way to send me my first Bomb. The Bomb was more than I would have ever wished for. This special BOTL has continued to help me expand my humidor, give me advice, and vouched for my credibility when I needed it. So, in his honor, I'm passing...

For John, or anyone else that can answer. Why is it important to let the 46 sit out overnight? Is this just for the 46's or would my other cubans benefit from a rest out the night before. Also, all my cubans are in the same humidor staying steady at 70 percent. I've heard cubans are better held...

I haven't burned a 46 yet, just the choix supreme. Now, you've got me intrigued. I think I may have to light one up during the Georgia game this weekend and see how they are young. Always good advice from you guys!

Yes!! I asked several people for recommendations, and the 46's came up in everyone's list. There's just something sexy about opening that slide top box and seeing all those great tasting sticks all bundled up and tied in ribbon. Letting these things sit is very hard to do, but I know they will...
