This is what I used to have in my box when I smoked regularly. I have been smoking for at least 10 years now and still love a good stick now and then.

I really love the Hoyo Dark Sumatras and the La Gloria Serie Rs. They are a strong smoke which I love.

Personally I guillotine my cigars as punching seems to inhibit the draw and results in a more acidic finish to me. I used to have a huge custom mahoghany humidor with close to 300 sticks in it.

As for keeping them fresh I always go by 70/70 for temp and humidity.

Perfection #2 IIRC.

I recall paying over $30 for an Opus X double corona way back when they first came out. So complex and full flavored. I love the Hoyo family now though. The Excalibur 1066 and the Dark Sumatra Series really may me grin.

Too bad you are in Maryland dude. Give me a call if you are even in Boston.

I have an excalibur sitting in my humi waiting but I can't decide when I want it. I'm a real big fan of cameroons, and the Don Carlos series are my absolute favorites I'm a little scared to smoke my opus since my nicotene tolerance is so low. I have power ranger that could easily kick my butt.

Thank you!!!

Ok, here's a quick review of the Cold Infusion Tea:

Acid Cold Fusion Tea: 3.1 (run very far away from this stinker)
Taste: 2
Construction: 4
Draw: 4
Aroma: 2
Finish: 4

Ring Gauge: 48
Length: 7
Wrapper/Color - light CT Shade
Light/Burn - easy to light
Overall construction - very good
Taste - awful, slightly bitter taste
Draw - easy, consistent draw
Most similar to: nothing - thank goodness!

At first glance this cigar looks like a Roam, (a sweet, buttery cigar with a floral taste), but, let me tell you the taste is a slightly bitter, herbal one, without the usual Acid's complex, yet tasty flavors. You really wonder how Acid can make such a delicious cigar like the Roam or a nice full bodied one like the Kuba Kuba and still have this in the line up. Give this one to someone you don't like, or just use it to freshen up the kitchen garbage pail.

What would you kids think of this sampler as a gift?
Are these "quality" cigars?

$15.00 shipped:

Most of the cigars they are offering in that sampler to me taste cheap and harsh. YOu can get far better samplers from different retailers than what cigarinternational has.
