Cigar Guys - Any Here?

I've been smoking Brick House La Traviata of late. Both are excellant smoke for the price.

 

Yes those are nice!

 

j.r., i have not smoked a cigar since trent set me up with a fantastic ashton pipe.

i think i am going to need to grab a few opus x to get back on the wagon!

Hahaha! He has sold me a couple of pipes. Cant get the hang of them though.....

 

I had a "My Father" it was very good. I'm going to stock up on these.

 

Smoking an El Triunfador, not digging it.

 

What a great end to a good day!

Fonseca signature series, dark and tasty
Macallan 18 year
One more house in escrow as of this afternoon
One pocket listing with a 5-car garage, after finding the seller another home with a 6-car garage and room for his 9-car collection of 1930's Fords.
And then off to the track tomorrow as an instructor for Cascade Sports Car Club driving school, followed by two days of Spec Miata racing.

Life is good, indeed!

 

All good choices.

 

Had a RyJ Short Churchill last night, not too bad, but still can't find one I like better than a Hoyo Petit Robusto.

 

I had another My Father Le Bijou 1922 tonight in the petit robusto size.

These are my new favorite cigars. I think these can stand toe to toe with most things from the island and with better quality control. Cubans have been hit or miss for me lately. These are full of flavor and have a nice spice/pepper flavor to them. The burn even and the draw is great.

Thanks for the review. I've been in love with anything Don Pepin touches lately, including his way underrated 601 line.

I smoked a 1992 Opus X Churchill last night and was a bit underwhelmed. I'd had the cigar in my humi about 18 months and was expecting something more special. What I got was an un-even burn, kept going out, and a cigar that started pretty spicy, and settling into a fairly mild (for my taste) cigar that was anything but special...

 

Smoking an Olivia serie V liga especial belicoso torpedo (man thats a mouthful).
Im liking it

 

Great cigar! Have you tried their purple bands - their Grand Cru cigars these are some of the best non-Cubans around!

 

I haven't, but will have to now. Another Graycliff I like is the 1666.

 

Love those!

 

Also had a Man O' War virtue last night, pretty good surprisingly smooth

 

just had another one, this one was a little heavy on the draw though, still good.

 

Had a nice 187 Esteban Carreras torpedo maduro after a nice lunch. I've been enjoying them this week, and the price isn't bad at $8 a stick.

It's up there with the RP Edge in strength.... has a really nice coffee and chocolate notes with some peppery kick. Firm yet giving contruction. Thick smoke most of the burn, good draw, very even burn for the four I've smoked.

 

Anyone have a list or a link to current cuban prices in Europe? Leaving tomorrow and would like to not get ripped off. Thanks

 

Topcubans.com is in europe, I think.

I always assumed they jacked up the prices a bit for US buyers.
