If I did not have my heart set on smoking a Toboada, it woulda been sacrificed to the flame... Perhaps next time...

Smoking in Illinois during the winter just plain sucks. There's so few places around that allow smoking, and it's 0 or below these days (not good for firing up outdoors). Can't wait for the warm weather to come rolling in...

Besides, if I was doing a box split, then it would be on the Bolivar Petit Belicosos 2009 LE. They are getting incredibly high ratings, and the Canadian importer still has stock. I am pondering ordering a box to pick up on Saturday...

However, they are also having a 'sale' on Party Shorts. Hmm. I have to get my order in today.

Just sayin' ;-)

I can't speak for any of the other Canuck members but I'd definitely be interested in a box split Craig!

As a fellow Canuck I would be interested

I just did an inventory, and I don't need more cigars :-).

I will see if people are interested in a pass instead.

Yesterday: MC #4 ALE SEP 08 (not convinced this box is genuine)

My inventory yesterday showed one last PLPC - and I just found it - R.I.P. EMA SEP 08

Undercrown. This was my first taste of this cigar. (That's what I get for staying away from cigar smoking professionals...I am way behind the times).

This was an eventful strong cigar (it seemed more full-bodied than I expected). I really enjoyed it, but it might have been more cigar than I'm ready to handle, if that's possible. I need to get some of these in my humidor and age them a couple of years because there was a lot going on and I need to smoke several more to appreciate all they have to offer. I like cigars that I have to "explore" like this one.

Many thanks to my contributor on this one!

Happy Birthday to her!

I smoked an Aging Room 356 Small Batch Presto. Very good, I really like these.

Thank you TGT.

San Cristobal Clasico Robusto....very nice smoke. Much better to me than the Elegancia.

JLP Cazadores - getting better.
MC #4 - this one was what it should be. A weird box. The ring gauge is a little narrow, though, so I am going to cut the bands and freeze the cigars 'just in case.'
Ortega Serie D #12 - I like these DPG's.

In case of what? Beetles?

One of these days I'm gonna ask you about our common affliction...OCD. Personally, I embrace it. And, appreciate it in others! Odd (to me) some call it a "disorder".

AF Cubanito. Tastes like chicken.

edit: last couple puffs taste like teriyaki chicken. noice flava!

**craig** · 02-10-2014, 04:00 AM

I have had beetles before. Once bitten twice shy.

In any case, I didn't freeze them, I put them in a couple of Mason Jars iinstead

Getting a beetle infestation will make a cigar smoker OC - it's a given. But all you gotta do is stick them cigars - mason jar and all - outside during the "polar vortex" and those little cuban hitchhikers will succumb...

And if your MC ring gauge seems a bit thin - I'd be worried about the source as well. Not that they would be beetle infested (it happens to the best), but confidence I was getting the real deal.

Momma and I did a little "getaway" to our local shop. We were expecting to fire up a couple of nice corona's, but instead had to settle for a Davidoff Grand Cru #5 (we find out when we get there the shop is closing in 30 minutes). What a GREAT little cigar - I highly recommend it.

Coincidentally, I was talking to my step - brother over the weekend, and he was bemoaning the leaf quality of various years - he has had big stems (runners) in three of his 2010 's (different brands).

The box was from a recognized grey-market source and was before the current box seals, but also when there were the arrests at Habanos S. A. about grey-market cigars. My other smokes from that source were fine (and have been smoked).
