Decent price on these at Emersons
Luckiest 2 consecutive days ever. T-52 pigs and the Goldie no.2. Both scored from B&M's locally. Unbelievable right?
Unbelievable doesn't seem to cover it, that's just plain awesome
You sir, are a God amongst men.
So did you go out and get your lottery ticket yet?
Damn, how did they get a box of the pigs? Nice score!!!
This Indian guy likes to age stuff. The fucker doesn't even know what he has. The pigs slipped behind a shelf and he found them yesterday cleaning up. He had Tat red and black tubes, Mexican experiments. Opus from 02. Fuckin' wrappers are so yellow you can't even tell what they are. He gave me a couple DCM's no.4's, yellow and plumed as all hell. The Goldie's came from a place, I heard the had some, drove up there and the owner said "there sold". I said," oh well, I'm sure I can find something to buy. Comes in 2 minutes later, says guy who bought them will give you a box. Unbelievable!

Hope these are good. haven't had any yet. And for your sake you better hope they are too or else I have 50 new sticks to bomb
Man!!!! Nice score. I've been looking for these
Pretty! Looks great. Love all their cigars.
Well, apparently Casa Fuente was a trap!
I really hadn't been smoking a lot of the higher end A. Fuente smokes in a while. I'd have the occasional Añejo when I found one in one of my humidors, but mostly when it comes to Fuente, I have been smoking Best Seller Maduros (great sticks BTW) as I have been smoking other makers' offerings most frequently.
Well, being "reintroduced" so to speak to Fuente's best has reawakened my taste for them! I guess an entire week of smoking 2-3 (and sometimes 4-5) Casa Fuentes, Opus X, and Don Carlos sticks everyday will do that to you! Funny, because I hadn't been smoking any Opus X cigars for quite a while, and they weren't really blowing my hair back any longer.
Well... I'm fully back on the wagon! Here's today's purchases. Yes, I have lost my mind (again).
God of Fire:
Picked up a box of 3 2009 Carlito Double Robustos, and then 5 2010 Carlito Double Coronas, and 5 2010 Don Carlos Robustos.
Opus X:
Picked up a little Opus X Lost City 2013 LE goodness:
And...
The Arturo Fuente Destino Al Siglo sampler with the Prometheus Ebony Macassar travel humidor. I knew they made this to celebrate the 100th anniversary, but I had no idea that they only made 1000 of these (600 of this one and 400 in blue) This little humidor is actually REALLY nice - I didn't realize that it had a magnetic closure. Really impressed me. Well, the entire package really impressed me. It comes with a Fuente Documentary DVD, and two books - a biography of Carlos Sr. and another book called "Journey to Chateau de la Fuente". Opening this thing was an experience.
Here's a few pics:
Outer box:
DVD:
Inner box:
The books were under the inner box - they are nicer than I expected:
The travel humidor was in a velvet sleeve thing. This thing is really nice. And the magnetic closure is a cool little plus. I'll likely never take it anywhere, but it's nice. lol
Okay, and now to the important stuff - the sticks!
Inside the box are the following sticks:
One Fuente Fuente Opus X BBMF
Two Opus X "Tauros the Bull"
And one Don Carlos special anniversary edition double robusto
Oh, and the sticks are already well aged - they are supposed to already have 10 years on them (well, 11 I guess, they are from sometime in 1992).
This is a really cool package and all, but yes, I'm going to smoke these damn things... lol I don't believe in "collecting" what I won't smoke. :cbig:
Thanks for looking at this LONG picture heavy post. Hopefully I won't be posting too many more purchases for a little while! :dunno:

Nice pickups. The awesome travel set cigars though are not aged quite as long as you stated. Common misunderstanding when seeing the 1992 on their boxes.
Here is a quote from a great resource about Opus X cigars on Gar Trader ( formally found on vitolas.net)
"Although "1992" appears on each box of Opus X cigars that are sold, it*does not*refer to when the cigars were rolled. Rather, it refers to when the first "seeds of hope" were planted. The first Opus X cigars released to the public became available in late 1995 in very small quantities."
Here is a link....

Ah, thanks, good to know! I was surprised when I saw that on the inside. Glad you let me know - that will stop me from from smoking one of these young! I usually let Opus sticks rest for a few years so that would have been a disappointment. When it said "Fuente Aged Selection" there I thought they were already... thanks again!
Edit: I just went and read up on the Fuente Aged Selection, and while the tobaccos are aged several years, the cigars are only aged four months. So... to sleep they go.

Originally I went on the Monster to just pick up the baitfish, but then I figured I should re up on some Nubs, and then the others just fell into my basket somehow
