    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.

    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" .

    Smoke the cigars in alphabetical order.
    In spite of all evidence to the contrary, the entire universe is composed of only two basic substances: Magic and bullshit.

    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

    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!

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

    Fire up the Upmannn......

    and then the Macanudo...... they are a great cigar
    I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

    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 ) 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 ( ) 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

    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...
