Sorry the Macanoodles have to go... The 3rd one on your list is a definite no go.

I enjoy the Cedros de Lux a lot. My advice is just to dig through them when you're ready to smoke. Look at them, smell them and just pick one. :smiley4:

By the way... I'm pretty damn partial to any (cuba) RyJ.. :) Enjoy!

That's what I like to hear. I was spoiled on them back home and now I'm a little sad that I can't just pick one up downtown.

Oh and Leo, I'm planning to visit Oz in 18 months-ish assuming finances allow. We should have a downunder herf!

Sounds like you have a pretty special "better half" :smiley1:.

Smoke the cigars in alphabetical order.

macanudo's have NOT been made in jamaica in at least seven years...they're made in the D.R........and in any case they're crap..imho...

Sounds good to me. Im in Western Sydney, NSW. No cigar lounges here.....

Cigargirl, I was expecting a few lemons in the pack. Its a pre put together pack, so the maccanoodle night be a 'gift' to one of w@nkers at work :smiley36:

Im looking forward to getting it. next friday, or Saturday. The Romeo Y Julieta might go first, then in alphabetical order....
MIght take a trip to Dan Murphys, and pick out a nice bottle of port and a nice whisky. Mmmmm, alcohol induced smoky stupidity. (I will lock up my MTB next time)

Cheers! :smiley41:

(oh, its Leoj Joel backwards... Everyone calls me Leo on other forums too. I dont care though. Well, better than d...head)

I would burn the Puros Indios first!!!:smiley41:

Fire up the Upmannn......

and then the Macanudo...... they are a great cigar :smiley11:

ahh, it arrived, and all wasnt what it seemed....

It was to gauge my reaction to a birthday bundle..

In order of the photo;
Montechristo No 2
R y J Coronas
R y J Cedros De Lux No 1
Fonseca Cosacos
Padron Churchill Natural
Aray H2000 Torpedo
Cuesta-Rey No 7
Dominican Special Presidente
& a stainless cutter.

So far I have smoked the Cuesta rey, and R y J Coronas.

The Cuesta was a nice mild cigar, with a very easy draw. The flavour got alot stronger towards the middle of the smoke, without becoming harsh. Not a favourite, but wouldnt turn one down,
The R y J, well, this was a good kick to the teeth. Very nice, I found it to be quite a strong smoke ( ok boys and girls, stop laughing :smiley14: ) and with an even flavour thru it. The draw went from tight, to not so tight, but it felt better than the Cuesta. So far, my favourite stick ( :smiley27: ) I dont know if it was the Mc Craps I had for lunch/dinner that day, but I threw my guts up about 25 mins after finishing it :smiley11: :smiley11: :smiley11:

Has anyone else thrown up due to a smokie being to strong? (keeping in m,ind, I was sick the day before...)

Oh, the coin is a 50cent piece for those non Aussies out there, just to show size...

Sahha :smiley41:

Oops. here tis

thats an awesome gift!!! enjoy all of the smokes! sorry about the vomfest though- mc craps sounds like it would be the cause.......

but take it in stride and enjoy the rest!
