I'm finding I like the smaller ring gauge smokes more and more now.

1x box of Aspira Corojo Lonsdale.

Got a good deal on cigarauctioneer. Unfortunately I got a bad deal from NZ Customs which pretty much cancelled out any savings. Still it didn't work out too bad in the end.

Out of interest how much tax and duty are you paying over there?

**FunkyCold5** · 05-24-2007, 08:04 AM

1 Box of Oliva MB3 Robusto
1 Box of Oliva MB3 Double Robusto
1 Box Aroma de Cuba Pyramid

Letting it sit in my Coolidor, BUT man is it tempting to open the box and just smoke 1 of each one day! Sooner than later!

It looks like 120% duty + 12.5% GST (tax) on the total cost (cigars + shipping + duty).

It's not too bad really, so far it's effected shipments from just one of my four suppliers, and only 1 in 5 of their shipments.

I really like the Fillipe Gregorio Centurino, I'm sure you will too. I haven't been able to find a good source for these yet (none of my regular suppliers seam to carry FG).

I like the Blacks, they are like a more potent and stronger (medium bodied) CAO Gold. Dont quote me since i haven't had one in a bit but thats what i rememeber. Ever had one Boom?

Black label is infinitely better than Gold, in my opinion. I've smoked a half dozen from the Black label and enjoyed each one immensely, whereas the two or three (including the perfecto) from the Gold label that I've smoked haven't been enjoyable.

here is some more i received just yesterday from Arganese Cigars. a box of Chairman Maduro Coronas and a 13 stick sampler of various blends, sizes and wrappers. yeah baby yeah!

the only CAO's i've had are the Brazilia and the Italia, i've been looking to find some of the others but at the moment don't have the cash to spend, hopefully sometime in the near future

my "first to try" list goes like this...
-Black
-Criollo
-Gold / Gold Maduro
-Mx2
Cx2

if you know of a decent sampler that has some of these let me know
