And while I was at the shop, I had to pick up a few others to round out the bill :lol:

1 - Ashton Aged Maduro
1 - Ashton Cabinet
1 - Ashton Heritage
 
I decided to stop by the local shop & hang out for a bit after work today. I smoked an Avo Domaine #30 (~= toro) while I was there. They'd just gotten a box of Perdomo Edicion de Silvio Cameroons in, so I bought one of those to take home on my way out the door. I spent too much time smoking & it was closing time when I finished, so I didn't really do any shopping.
 
Hey guys. I've been out of the loop for a while. Just bought a package of 10 Gurkha Genghis Khan Toros. Any thoughts on these?

I didn't buy anything. rmrdaddy sent me a very generous welcome to the group sampler.


:shock: WOW :shock:
 
Got a new humi on the way. It is a Savoy 50ct I got on the cheap. The really cheap. :lol:
 
That sampler showed up today. And is housed in my tupperador. Proof that this board, and this thread, really is a bad influence on your wallet. But dang I'm excited to try those things :)
 
Picked up a few goodies last week.

3 Matasta 30th Anni Perfecto
3 Padron 6000 Natural
7 Oliva Master Blend 1 in assorted sizes
3 Gran Habano 3 Siglo Torpedo
3 LGC Serie R Limitada 2005
5 La Aurora 1495 Corona
10 Gurkha Royal Brigade Perfecto
3 AVO Domaine Perfecto

Have had about 2 hours free time in the past two weeks. That means I have had time for about two cigars. Ouch.
 
I just picked up

1 box Padron 3000 maduro
1 box Partagas Black magnifico

Not a bad day :D
 
Had to cancel my COTM because CBid destroyed my Cigar budget.
From Cbid:
5 pack of LFD Chiselito
5 pack RP OSG Torps
5 pack CAO Anniversary Robusto.
 
5 sancho panza maduro's [quixote]

2 cao mx2

1 oliva series O


NOTE ON THE SANCHO'S: many know that i have been going
on and on about these panza maduros and several have
said they plan on trying them. now the "bad" part......

the derned things have the WORST cap you will EVER see!!

every one of them i have bought [from different vendors]
the cap has come off when i punch or cut. and then i have
to keep tounge pasting it down as i smoke.

and all but one has had to be re lit at mid way. have no clue
as to why. but, no probs on the re-light and it heads straight
for the nub!! the over all burn is near perfect untill mid way.

ITS THE TASTE MAN!!! thats why i put up with this. the taste
floots my boat BIG TIME so i over look these flaws.

and flaws they are for sure! i have no idea how a class cigar
manufacturer can miss this cap fiasco! and i have had other
people tell me the same thing about the cap and i have seen
it written on another site by a botl.

so just be forwarned! the pre light is hypnotic in its aroma,
perect draw [for me] and the taste, in my perfect palate :wink:
is a 92 rating all the way.

construction is a 79. good thing these are not 8.00 smokes
but if they didnt have these two issues i could see them
being an 8.00 smoke for sure! but why they let this problem
continue, even at 4.00 a stick is not right. but that taste....

COME ON SANCHO!!!!!!

I have found that the right amount of moisture pre-cut will keep the caps on those things. ive also found that the extra fuerte line has better caps than the maduros.


good luck!
 
i have soaked them, lightly moistened them, poked 'em
dry, talked sweet, rubbed it's belly, threatened, yelled,
promised to flush with the other logs, etc..... :x

NOTHING has worked, so far.

got a tip? i am listening.

and your right about the others. no probs. i can jam a
punch in those dry and no issues.
