MEGA Review III Signup & Voting

**buzz** · 08-03-2010, 09:53 AM

Well since Arturo Fuente and Carlos Torano are pretty much tied up here, I would like to propose we switch over to CT and order from caminoviejo. Plus, and I should have mentioned this earlier... it was badwhale who originally suggested AF... and we all know what happened last time we went with the whale's suggestion!

So, how about this:

Tribute 2004 Churchill (7x50) - $10.00
Virtuoso Maestro (7x50) - $5.20
Exodus 1959 Gold Double Corona (7x50) - $4.66
Cameroon 1916 Churchill (7x48) - $4.64
Nicaragua Selection Churchill (7x48) - $3.32
Dominicos Churchill (7x48) - $2.85

The Exodus 1959 and Cameroon 1916 are too close in price in my opinion, so we should select one or the other. Any other changes / additions / subtractions? Do we want to mix up the sizes a little bit?

I'd be interested in changing the Tribute 2004 to the Torpedo size ($11). Also, maybe we should try to get one in the $6-7 range (like the Reserva Selecta Torpedo Maduro)?

By Friday we want to place the order, so if you have thoughts, speak now.

Buzz, good idea in throwing some business towards our board host! Since so many people were amenable to the Fuente lineup maybe you could keep it in line for a later mega-review.

X2 on what the Montana guy said. I'm good with whatever CT lineup everyone else agrees on.

**heftysmokes** · 08-03-2010, 11:03 AM

Oops, double post.

**heftysmokes** · 08-03-2010, 11:09 AM

I'D definitely like to see the Reserva Selecta in the mix, and dropping either the Cameroon or the 1959 would be fine as well. On that same note, we could drop one of the lower end sticks as well if 5 is a more manageable number for everybody.

I don't have any line / vitola preference. I just like to smoke.

Is there anyway that we could drop one of them to a robusto? It's hard sometimes to find the time to smoke an entire churchill.

My 2 cents (not that anyone cares) is that it would be a nice change to have a torpedo in the mix also.

I would have to go with Daigz here. Don't care what it is we are smoking, but a robusto and a torpedo would be awesome things to add to the mix.

And no Buzz...the piece I will do is entitled "On your average day...", and it will be a mishmash of aspects of me. Don't expect normal though!

So... how about this for our lineup:

Tribute 2004 Torpedo (6.25x52) - $10.91
Reserva Selecta Torpedo Maduro (6.25x52) - $6.29
Virtuoso Maestro (7x50) - $5.20
Cameroon 1916 Robusto (5.5x52) - $4.24
Dominicos Robusto Maduro (5x50) - $1.80

So the options will range in price from about $34 (1 of each) to about $62 (2 of each).

Looks good to me Buzz!

This looks like a good line up to me. I'll only be going for the 1 of each option as the red is giving me the evil eye due to finances, but this looks like a nice and tasty selection. Besides, I'm a sucker for Torpedos and Robustos.
So if this is what we are going for-

from me!

I've smoked all the CTs mentioned with the exception of the Dominicos...Makes no difference to me what is purchased. Ordering from hex is a good idea.
