I bought the following:
1 box (25) Anejo #48
1 box (25) Hemingway Classic Maduro
2 boxes (25 ea) Flor Fina 8-5-8 Maduro
5 - Anejo 888
5 - Hemingway Untold Story

I placed the order with none other than Arturo Fuente Jr himself and had them shipped to my daughter in Portland, OR. Upon opening package I found my cigars in perfect condition along with a card with a handwritten note inside thanking me for my business and for smoking their family's cigars signed by Arturo Fuente Jr himself. Now that's a nice touch and they're definitely a class act.

Thinking ahead, I ordered some humidity beads from Heartfelt and had them shipped to my daughters place as well. I bought a cooler in a Walmart for $20 and the cigars stayed at pretty much 65% humidity the whole trip. I now have a coolerador should I ever have enough $ to overflow my 500 count humidor....
I love that place...

Speaking of "saving my pennies" - during my recent cruise/visit to Victoria, BC I paid a visit to a cigar store. The prices were not exactly fantastic, but the selection was out of this world. Momma let me pick up a few goodies!!!

2X VR Famosos
2X VR Regional Release (Canada) - looks like Edmundo size
2X Partagas Serie D #4 (one of my FAVORITES)
5X Por Larranaga PC's

The numbers were low - I really did not want to press my luck.
