Late night smoking and discussion thread
- Thread starter EL Corojo
- Start date
The box is marked rather poorly. It says 05 ???? 2018. I don't want to sound like a dick (I am a huge dick) but I have spent a bunch of money with Neptune and if they didn't want to take these dog turds back I would have disputed my credit card payment. The customer service guy said this kind of stuff happens all the time and he was cool about getting an RMA out to me. As far as Padron buying tobacco from Aganorsa they probably do for their low-end cigars, but the Series 1926 is all their own tobacco aged for at least five years.

To the ones we can save, and those we can't.
I think you should, it's a holiday

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Just finishing up three midnights now. Off until Monday morning. Been fighting a cold for a week, so no smokes for me lately. Hope to get one in this weekend.

Good evening fellow late nighters. Good Thanksgiving wishes to all.
I received a box of Our Father Flor de Las Antillas Belicosos today.
This month's Cigar Aficionado "95" rated top pick. My rating, "00". I smoke three to five cigars a day and bought these on a lark from Neptune because of the "95" rating. These things don't deserve a spot in my humidor IMHO. They taste like nothing. I ended up getting a return authorization from Neptune and I am going to be returning a box of cigars for the first time in 40 years of smoking.
I'm quitting reading Cigar Aficionado too.I don't even want to smoke tonight so I'm having a glass of Basil Hayden's bourbon.

CA's recommendations and ratings are garbage, hence why we're doing our own top 25! You want to try some great NC's look over people's nominations there. There's some incredible NC's being produced right now.
Many are far superior in flavor and quality than most of the well known prestige "premium" brands.

Nice to see another FChatter here on BOTL. I just caught a three-day ban from Yin for shutting down Dr. Tommy Cosgrove. I am pretty much done with FChat at this time. CA is mostly useless when it comes to reviews IMHO. My cigar brother down in South Florida gets me his two for one free subscription every year for decades because he is cheap. LOL I primarily smoke CCs and these cigars weren't even close to being good, let alone a "95". On a positive note, Neptune Cigars was great about getting me an RMA, and the box is awaiting pickup by the USPS right now.

Enjoy brother! I’m in the middle of a four day weekend and should be outside enjoying a smoke and a beer with you, but I unfortunately am feeling under the weather. I even had to miss the traditional Thanksgiving with the extended family yesterday.
