Lost in translation
Picked up the Friday deal and a "mystery sampler 10-pack" that Tim's gonna put together for me. I'm kinda excited!
I picked up:
5 x 5 Vegas A Limited Release Apocalypse
5 Vintage by Rocky Patel 1990 Toro
I have never tried the Apocalypse so I'm kinda excited.....Woo Hoo!

Tonight was the local shop's cigar tasting, so most of what I bought I smoked.
Rocky Patel Petit Corona
CAO L Anniversaire eXtreme Belicoso
Arturo Fuente Anejo Torpedo
The Anejo I took home & have stashed in my humi. The others I smoked, but don't really have any comment on thanks to my pallette being thrashed by a rather nasty Fonseca Maduro, which was the free tasting cigar. That was definately the worst tasting cigar they've offered yet.

I fell for bought cigar.com's Friday Deal, and won a bid on cigarbid.com for 5 Gurkha Ancient Warriors for $17. I've moved beyond thinking about converting a bedroom into a walk-in humidor, and am now considering a drive-thru setup, wherein I'll have to hire an attractive young woman to initiate the automatic cigar retrieval system, accept a tip, and look pretty in her tight... oh, um, that's all I bought lately.
Big haul.
1 Box of CAO MX2 Belicosos
1 Brick of CAO Brazilia Cariocas
With those I got:
5 CAO Brazilia Gols
2 CAO MX2 Robustos
2 CAO Maduro Churchills
2 CAO Gold Robustos
1 CAO Sopranos Associate
1 CAO Maduro Tubo
1 CAO Italia Piazza
1 CAO Criollo Mancha
1 Black CAO Skully
FREE!!!
Then, in a raffel, I won the Factory Commemorativo Sampler:
1 CX2 Belicoso
1 Cameroon Belicoso
1 Gold Churchill
1 Maduro Churchill
1 Criollo Pato
1 Brazilia Lambada(?)
1 Italia Ciao
So I bought two boxes and got almost $150 worth of cigars free. I was pratically singing all the way home. :lol:

Watching Eli smoke Robs cigars
Cigarbid.com is a really cool place!
5 Camacho Corojo Dark Natural Monarca's
5 Slow-Aged by Perdomo Glorioso
I have no idea what I just bought but I'm in the hopes that they will be something I like. [img=left]http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/2403/idea3el.gif[/img]
Any thoughts on either one of them would be appreciated...

Thought I'd bring this back off of page 5 with my purchase today at the Rocky Patel event at my local shop.
A box of RP Edge maduro torpedos. This was the old school unbanded, uncellophaned 20 ct box.
Then, the standard deal at the shop is buy a box, get 7 free, so he gave me all of the remaining Olde World Reserves that Nish brought. So I got 7 Olde World Reserve prototypes today. I was in shock for the rest of the day. Im still a little amazed. If anybody doesn't know about these, they're Rocky Patel's answer to the Opus and others on the high end market. They were introduced at last year's RTDA but aren't scheduled to be released until June.

Not sure why this thread died...I'll try it and see if it stays alive. It's interesting to see what people are buying to get ideas.
Got some great smokes at the Punch Ambassador event today
2 Partagas Serie S Perfectos
Some Fuente King B's
2 Punch Rare Corojos
2 Cusano Corojo 1997's
2 Caciques
Got a free Punch maduro and gran puro
Got my free El Rico Habano (card in the Cigar Aficionado this month)
Not too bad, but that new humidor's still got a lot of room...I've got work to do.
