This was a shot of what I was smoking (thanks to a great brother on this board) on the last day of my honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. A trip I won't soon forget!

*Note: the cigars listed with an asterisk were from Devin to put in the pass and we have a little inside contest going. I think I know what most of these are, but the perfectos are confusing me and he hasn't given up the info as to what they are. So, if you are interested in any of the * cigars, contact Devin for the identities.....
 
In tribute of Jose Marti, a direct ancestor of mine. I think of this literally each time I set flame to an ISOM. Personal to me for many, including the obvious familial, reasons.
