Well, I'll take that over leaving my inventory spreadsheet, complete with dates/costs/sources open on the laptop. Trust me. :smiley18:Quote:

Hmmm...look what showed up today. The CAO and Illusione are new to me. We will see if they live up to the hype.

A friend just came back from Mexico and brought me two boxes of Te-Amo #4's
They're a good "yard gar" and at the price I paid for them ($140 CAD for 50) they're well worth it. I confess to rather enjoying these cigars so I'm happy to have a goodly number of them in the humidor. :smiley1:
1 box of Undercrown coronas
1 bundle of Sosa churchills
1 bundle of Sosa torpedos
5er of AF Hemingway Short Story
5er of AF Hemingway Best Seller
5er of Henry Clay (whatever they call their corona size? Brevas, I think?)
5er of Padron Londres natural
2 Norteņo coronas
2 Padron Family Reserve
Went in to the B&M for some 8-5-8 Sungrown. Decided to grab a few others.

I was in Mexico City last week. I was at a bar chatting it up with a Scotsman and he mentioned that he had recently been in Cuba. He asked me if I would fancy having a Cuban cigar. I give him a half-ass "sure, why not?". Then he tells me he got 25 Cohibas and Montecristos for 25USD. Any slight excitement I had faded instantly. He retrieves one of each and they don't look completely awful. Then rather than offering me one, he lights the Cohiba, gets it going, and then hands it to me to "share". I oblige by taking a pull and giving it back. When he tried to pass the cigar to me again I politely decline to which he says "Aw, you're going to make me smoke this whole thing by myself?".
As if this wasn't enough - I buy a round of tequila shots (remember we are in the heart of Mexico) and he takes a sip from the shot glass and passes the rest to me. Whatever. I drink it. Fortunately my penchant for the booze outweighs my desire to cry "party foul". We soon part ways while his Coheeba dies a slow quiet death.
I never made it to a LCDH but I did manage to snag the above smokes in the duty free shop on the way back home.
Thanks for reading - I don't know anyone else that gives a fuck.
I give a fuck. Sometimes. This happens to be one of them. :smiley36:Quote:

[emoji23] You guys are great.
Looks like the fuck quota has been met here, so I suppose I won't give a fuck.

That's a great story. I don't think I'd have had the balls to actually take a puff off of someone else's cigar though.......one never knows what they may 'have'. :smiley36:Quote:

So with the changes in restrictions on Cuba, you folks in the US are now able to legally bring Cuban cigars into the US. Is there a limit?? I'm coming down in June and want to bring a few along for the trip. I just don't want to hit the border and find out there's a limit and I'm over it.
I almost spit out my coffee on this one Jamie........thanks for that! I always like it when I can start the day with a good chuckle!Quote:

The official answer is probably not, but I've been back and forth over the border and I sense they're more interested in finding explosives rather than Cuban cigars...
On a recent trip to Victoria, BC I brought back about 15 CC's. I think if you keep it "reasonable" it should not be an issue.

I'll call the border crossing (US side of course) a week or so before I leave and talk to an actual border crossing agent and find out "for sure" before leaving. I won't be bringing a lot, but I wouldn't mind tossing 3 or 4 Cuban's in the travel humidor.
I did call last year before going and I had to laugh, the border crossing guy told me it was still illegal to bring Cuban's into the US but then said, "Of course, if they have no band on them, they could be from anywhere" LOL
But I won't risk making crossing the border any harder by trying to sneak a Cuban in if it's still illegal. My wife would kill me if I did anything to make it a hassle at the border.
Mail call....

Buddy went to Cuba for 10 days and we babysat their dog. I got him to bring me back some cigars:
3 x box of 10 - Partagas Series D #4
1 x box of 25 - RyJ Short Churchill
Got some $$$ saved up for my trip to the US in June to go see my daughter and grandson. I'm thinking a box of Padron 3000 maduro and the rest on Arturo Fuentes!
Update:
=====
Called the border crossing where we'll cross and was told I could bring up to 50 Cuban's! I'll be bringing a couple, not 50..........LOL
Back from my annual trip south. Had a great time playing paintball with my 15 yr old grandson and a wonderful trip. Saw some great country and got to spend a few days in a favorite campground of mine (Farragut State Park on Lake Pend Orielle in north Idaho) and almost got to go fishing *sigh* Next year we're planning on staying somewhere on Lake Pend Orielle so I can fish! Apparently they dislike lake trout so much they offer a $15 bounty on them if you turn in their heads. There's walleye in the lake too and no limit on them since they're not an indigenous species. I've never heard of that before either! LOL
Oh, saved up all year for this trip and blew my cigar budget on:
1 box - Padron 3000 Maduro
1 box - AF Anejo #48
1 box- AF Anejo #55 (they didn't have boxes of the shark left and this was the next best thing - terrific cigar btw)
I also picked up a couple samplers of AF cigars to round things out. A Hemingway Classic sampler and an Anejo Shark/#55 sampler. All said and done, I crossed the border with 90 cigars. My budget is now blown now and sadly, I won't be buying any more cigars for a while :smiley13: On the plus side, I have some good cigars to tide me over until I get some more $$$ in my cigar saving account.
Needed more NW's. I was down to a half box.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9c4bd3d34c.jpg

Nice!!! What are those x cigar things? I saw them in I think, JR cigars?
Second of three in the CAO Amazon line. First was the Amazon Basin, then Fuma Em Corda, and now they have the Anaconda out. I really like the Amazon Basin. The FEC is not as good in my opinion. Of course I will need to let these rest awhile and then revisit. As the only one I have had was ROTT.:smiley3:Quote:
