Got these today:

AF Chateau Sun Grown and a box of Chateau Maduro, plus a box of Griffins Fuerte robustos.

Smoked a RP Edge Maduro Missile today. Was pretty good overall.

Tell me how the Chateaus smoke because I haven't found a single line outside the Short Story and Opus X that I've liked from AF. Didn't like the Flor Fina 858, really disliked the Curly Head or whatever it's called and was impartial to the Hemingway.

^ And God of Fire? Which I find to be better than a Opus any day.


In my UPS arrival of the day I got my 5 Vegas Limitada 08. Double boxed, with styrofoam around the pakage, then box and bubble wrap galore in the big box. Cigars come in a 'box' that is actually a ceramic keepsake, consisting of a chamber lined with loose tabaco and the cigars, topped with a spanish cedars lid then topped with a custom fit 5 vegas ashtray lid. VERY impressive packaging for a $100 box of cigars. I might even smoke one right now, just because 25 cigars in the humidor defiles my divisible by two counting for the rest of the cigars in that humidor.

Last night I had a Nestor Miranda special reserve longsdale, which was amazing, followed shortly thereafter by a Padron 64 Maduro Corona. Also a delicious smoke, but the combo left me regretting the light meal I had finished hours before.

Went looking through the extras humidor and picked up a Arturo Fuente Anejo Reserva xtra viejo. What a stunning smoke. I burnt my fingers because I didn't want to put it out.

This must have been a gift from someone a long time ago because I went online to pick up a box and oh my are they expensive! And impossible to fine to boot.

This is a must have top tier smoke in my opinion.

I read that most people do not want to put those down. I have some Anejos myself and can score some 50s at $10 each. I may just grab some more not having tried them before.

There is a guy at the madhouse that sells them often.

Anyone want to do a box split on some CCs? I am looking at Partagas SDN4 or Bolivar BFs. PM me if you are game.

EDIT: Cancel this, just bought some more Anejos so funds are tapped out.

Been looking to buy a box of cigars for my birthday and I got these contenders today to try out:

 

[darkninja67]

Cigar smoking iphone users: There is an app called Mobile Stogie that was made by a BOTL at the Asylum. It lets you keep track of your humidors and has a wish list and reference on it. The developer updates it well too by input from the forums.

I've been smoking Davidoff cigars lately. Last week I tried the Aniversario it was pretty damm good. Tomorrow I'll try to see if the local shop has any of the Puro Dominicanos. I'll post some photos.

 

[darkninja67]

Davidoffs are pretty good (Special series) but they are way overpriced IMO. I stick to Avo and Griffins as far as Kelner smokes go.

Please post pics though, always nice to see a well made cigar.

Plan on having this tomorrow, I had a Rey del Mundo this afteroon, and it was nice. But a bit light for my tastes.. Looking forward to the H. Upmann ... maybe I'll work my way up to a Cohiba in a few weeks.

 

[tevez32]

Bought a couple of Cuban cigars today. Rey Del Mundo, and H. Upmann. Had the Rey Del Mundo in the afternoon while my wife was shopping. It was a satisfying smoke, but a little light in flavor for my tastes. I'm going to have the H. Upmann tomorrow while walking near the lake.

This is just my luck. I bought three Nub Habanos, a Connecticut, and I have an Oliva Serie V Torpedo sitting in the humi, its the nicest weather we've had in Shippensburg for months, and I've got a damned headcold. Makes me wonder what kind of karmic violation I made in the winter months.

btw Darkninja, all of those sticks you're auditioning would make a great box, my personal faves are the Serie V and the San Christobal.

Cheers!
