I believe so as I hear Club Stogie brought up a lot.

Got a Camacho Corojo Monarca today and a R&J Habana Reserve Titan as well. I need to pick up a dossier soon since I am smoking so much new stuff.

Found a new shop on the way to work and my wallet is screaming "Uncle"

This place has all the top end sticks: Olivas, Opus, Camacho Annivs, Cuvee, Don Carlos, Ashton ESG, Avo, Griffins, Perdomo, Partagas, etc. I picked up an Avo Domaine, Griffins Special Edition Tubo, and a Nub Habano today. Almost grabbed an Opus X #2 as well.

I have found this collection of cigars (each year anniversary edition) to be some of the most consistently drawn and smooth smoking cigars i have ever had. I've never had a let down with this series. Although I do find it to be a little mild for my ever expanding tastes. Somewhat similar to the Montecristo White #2.

Nice stash.
Today I am ordering my Aristocrat Mini. I cannot wait to get it and fill her up.

Finished my first 5-pack sampler of JAVA Maduro by Drew and loved them! They now join Padron Maduro, La Gloria Cubana Maduro, and CAO Cameroon and Maduro as my favorites. I highly recommend them especially if you are a heavy coffee drinker.

Any comments on Sancho Panza (Double Maduros), Gran Habano or Alec Bradley (Overture)??

I am looking at getting some cheap boxes for my cabinet and these are on my list. Got some Opus X in today and will let them rest for a long time.

If you notice just above you'll see the sanchos. To me one of the best underated cigars out there at the moment. I am a maduro nut. Out of the three you list I would only smoke and buy the sancho. I have had the others and they weren't my taste. Of course I don't like the Opus either, well I like it but if you offered an Opus or Sancho I would take the Sancho. Not because the Opus isn't good it just is overated.

I actually just bought some of the sancho, gold label (forget what the real name is) to try out against the maduros.

That being said I stick the the small sanchos. To me their torpedos or bigger somehow don't quite make it against there smaller sizes.

Sancho's thumbs up

It is sometimes recommended that you smoke on a full stomach and sitting down when burning full bodied sticks. The nic hit you get will make you dizzy and really relaxed. Some Olivas and La Flor Dominicanas will lay my ass out and I love a full bodied stick.


as for today: I smoked an AVO Domaine #50 perfecto. It was so good. Everything about it was just about perfect.

I also went shopping for some boxes to fill my new humidor, I grabbed a box of Perdomo Habano Corojos, Sancho Panza Double Maduros, Torano Exodus 1959s, and a box of Gran Habano #5 Corojos. I also got 4 samplers for free. I think it came out to about $300 for 100 or so sticks. So not a bad day at all.

I now need to order some Heartfelt beads and another Xikar hygrometer.


I will post pics once they arrive.
