Recent Acquisitions

I just got back from a couple smokeshops that a coworker suggested and thought I'd post my most recent acquisitions. I don't know if its in bad form but thought that if you guys (and girls) posted your newest additions it might be kind of fun. Anyways, here goes:

Padron 1964 Anniversario Imperial Maduro
Fuente Maduro Best Seller
Cohiba Red Dot Corona
CAO Extreme Tubo
CAO MX2 Belicoso
Rocky Patel Edge Maduro Missile (Tasty by the way--I couldn't wait)
Perdomo Edicion De Silvio Torpedo (Nice bloom on it too)


I saw that Perdomo and could not resist--I need a special occasion for that one though as 24.99 is a hell of a lot of money for a stick. However I'm glad I picked it up here and not where I last saw them in San Diego at 50 a pop.

Fuente is a hemingway BTW

The hemingway or the perdomo?

The TinderBox in Spring Hill Mall.

8.75

Seaport Village was the mecca for stupid people when I was there, so I wouldn't be surprised if the place you went to makes a killing. All in all I spent close to a hundred bucks, but lighting those up I figure will make the time at work earning the money worthwhile.

Shake, I live in McHenry so I doubt I know you. But as a fellow smoker from the area, maybe I'll see you some time at an event. As nice as the tinderbox was though, I don't think I'll go there anymore. The owners are great but their selection is too limited for me. I suggest if you're ever in Algonquin, you check out this one place on 31 a little ways past the Texan BBQ. I think its called the house of tobacco. HUGE humidor--bigger than my bedroom. Everything you can think of including boxes of opus x and perdomos.

if it sounds like work is unbearable for me...well its boring sometimes but that just gives me an excuse to sit outside, smoke a stick, and watch the traffic go by.

A "Valiente" from some guy who walked up to me at work while I was smoking and with whom I had quite a conversation about cigars. He said he started cigar smoking about 15 years ago and now buys exclusively from thompsons. He says he usually gets bundles equalling 100 cigars for less than 50 bucks. At fifty cents and having it be from where it came from, I think its going in the trash...or to someone who deserves a cigar joke.
