Thanks again for everyone's help on cigars.

I've got really into them so far. I've tried H. Upman, Dunhill, Bolivar, Luiz Martinez, Monte Cristo, El Rey Del Mundo and I've got my eye on pretty much every brand they stock in my local tobacconists. I also rummaged out a cigar a friend gave me a couple of years ago that I forgot about called Backgammon that was tubed and for appearing to be one of the lesser expensive brands it was like smoking heaven itself...

I'm going to try them all at my leisure to see what I think is best before I go investing in heavy numbers but I'm hooked so far. Thanks again folks.

Cuaba, Romeo Y Julieta, Punch, Cohiba also all under the belt and fully appreciated. In fact the one thing that has really struck me (that never did about cigars until my friend gave me the DC's and I looked into them etc) is that it's the appreciation that makes each draw/ cigar memorable and worthwhile.

The same friend has incredibly gave me a full box of 25 of the Don Candido No 502's shown here with a coffin of the 501's.


If you think they look good, you want to smell them! It's like having the worlds best cake in front of you and knowing you can't eat it....well, I could, but would you? It would be sacrilege and I'd never forgive myself.

From the 1st round of testers that I've smoked so forr, the Romeo's Carona's have proven to be my favourites; they're like smoking chocolate. The Punch Petit Punch was nice and creamy all the same...but the Bolivar's heavyness dragged me in, but then the Cohiba was good and I enjoyed the lightness of the Upman. Man, it's tough having choices!

The same friend is looking to possibly sell 4 full boxes of the 502's (in 25's) and 2 of them still have their seals intact and unbroken, also he'll possibly be parting with a few of the boxes of 501's in their double coffins. I've contacted a London based cigar store who is hopefully holding a Cuban Dunhill auction in Sepetember if anyone is interested as I think that is where he'll be selling them through.
