I've got an ESG that I've been sitting on for about a year. And a Partagas 160 that the wife gave me back in May for my B-Day.

Mine just changed from a Padron Millenium to a Black Label Tatuaje thanks to a fine Brother here!

Either an Anejo or an Untold Story. I lean towards the Anejo.

I will be trying the new PL Robusto RE '07. Probably going to be cold for me to get in another cigar, so that one is probably going to be it.

I was wondering about these Mike, whether they are ready to go. My box has been resting for 2 1/2 weeks...maybe I should break one out now. If the young PC's
are anything to go by, there is no reason why these should not smoke well young. I'll let you know.

Would love to hear your thoughts on them Brian.

I'm going to dry-box mine for a couple of days as a lot of the early reports stated they were really wet. I'm going to give one to Marc to have on X-mas and we'll probably give a short review on them.

Ok, I broke one out that I had separated about 3 days ago from the main humi to my travel humi...so it wasn't dry boxed. Nice smoke, not wet at all, draw was good, burn was good. I found it one dimensional with a nutty flavor. One dimensional in that the taste never varied. That's not saying it wasn't a good smoke because it was, just that there was no change in taste throughout.

IMO, this will improve soon, perhaps another 3 months, I'll have another at that time.

Brian

Sounds like a pretty decent smoke even without being complex. Looking forward to firing mine up!

That's what you get for choosing to go to school in a cold place. You should have come to Tucson and studied law at the UofA and you could be smoking the long sticks and still do it leisurely.

Yeah, rub it in Sam. I'm looking outside to 2" of snow on the ground with a wind-chill of damn-near zero this morning

I'm going to a buddies house to eat I told him I would bring a couple of my new Stradivarius Robusto Majors.

I've heard that those are about as good as a King Edward soaked in runny dog shit......

Never had a King Edward soaked in dog shit, is that what you do to make them taste good.

I dont really have anything Picked out, I dont have much here in NH with me. I let my supply dwindle to almost nothing before the trip back up here, so I wouldnt have to travel with much.

but, I'll probably enjoy a Natural. Not many other choices.

I'm going to smoke my last PSP2 from an 05 box.It will be a bitter/sweet moment.Now I have to hunt for more of these tasty treats.

I've got several smokes that I've been waiting to try. I've got a week off (until Jan 2nd) so I'm really looking forward to some "quality time" with some of the stuff I've got. I have a couple of OR Anejo's that were gifted to me by some great BOTL's and I have yet to experience one of these beauties. Smokes that are gifted to me by good friends are all that more special to me; I really appreciate the sentiments. Got a box of Padron 80ths that should be here today or tomorrow. Found an Opie robusto with almost three years on it. A few Cohiba "Edicion Limitada" sticks I'm drooling over. Should be a great week.....

Merry Christmas, gentlemen - B.B.S.

My man!
I have the time off from work as well... With that impressive line up, I should spend it all down there in Vancouver!!! :laugh:
Nice Tom!!!

I'm not sure what I'll be smoking... I've been gifted a couple of amazing smokes, so I just might have to get out of my ways, and put some fire to one of them!!! :blush:

Well....simple answer there, David. If you or any other of the PacNW folks want to take a road trip to Casa B.B.S. just give me a heads up and we'll be glad to entertain...!! Just got a box of Anejo 46's today and we're stocked up and ready for guests.

Just.....bring it...!!....

Merry Christmas, guys - B.B.S.

I have an OpusX Perfexcion, an RP OWR, and a LFD Ligero(gifted by my local B&M).
Not sure I'll get to all of them. But, I'm gifting an OpusX to my brother, so
I'm almost sure to get in the OpusX.

Merry Xmas to all!

I'm hunting, too! They are one of the best cigars I've ever smoked! Enjoy it, bro.

I started with another 858 SG and will fire up a '01 JL Corona and Sig II later.

I forgot to mention a Camacho 1962 Torp I smoked on Xmas Eve that was outstanding.

I've decided to try the Royal Brigade you gave me the other night, Ken. I just read it's Centurian-X filler and binder with the Nepalese wrapper. Sounds interesting and I know I can squeeze it in with my smoking habit.

See ya at Mahogs Thursday!

Steve - completely-un-

Enjoy your Holiday! :thumbs:

I am smoking another Stradivarius now. Boy I wish I new King Edwards soaked in runny dog shit tasted this good sure coulda saved a lot of money. Sure a nice smoke for a special day IMO.

The wind here was gusting 30 mph! Didn't want to sit in the cold wind with a good one, so I had a CAO Italia, brought my step dad a 5 Vegas Shorty, and I got my goody two shoes brother to smoke one with me, he had a CAO Mx2 Dagger.

Taken the wife to vegas, leaving a couple hours and will have to Casa Fuente to have my well deserved holiday smoke, something really good!

Merry Christmas!

 

[Ultima83]

I've got a GoF 05' as well that I'm gonna torch. Can't wait.

 

[DrMike]

Enjoyed an Anejo 55 from Christmas 2005 :thumbs:

 

[Mike33]

I had the PL Robusto yesterday that was very lackluster. Also had a 1993 SLR Corona that was given to me by my brother which was pretty freakin' great and a nice '07 RASCC.

 

[slcraiders]

Smoked a couple of goodies over the last couple of days: Davidoff Gran Cru 3, Padilla 1932 Robuso, 2 Camacho Corojo 07/05s, 2004 Opus, and a couple of bowls of 2007 Christmas Cheer.
