Popped...

[tuffy]

I am no longer a CC virgin. Jeeper and I smoked our first CC yesterday and then again tonight after my monte #4's showed up in the mail...I gotta say that I am in love :awholelot

The date on the #4's is June 2006, and despite being out of the humidor while being shipped, they didn't seem very dry so I decided to fire one up. To my surprise, they smoked very very well. The shipper (a site sponsor), shipped them with a humidity pack which I think helped tremendously.

Any advice on what to try next? I think I will order a sampler pack next, but want to know what you guys like. On top of all this, I filled my 150 count humidor (even though there aren't even close to 150 cigars in it). So while looking at new humidors, my wife suggested I look into a nice 2000+ count humidor. :stretchgr

If possible, try one of the finest tasting CC's (in my opinion) around. Do a RASS!

 

[architeuthis]

Hell, do a dozen of them! And buy a few boxes to store for three or four years also... <G>

 

[tuffy]

I assume you are talking about the Ramone Allones? I am not to good with the CC abbreviations yet.

 

[architeuthis]

Yes indeed. The "Ramon Allones Specially Selected" 4.50x50 of really enjoyable smoke.

 

[Headbanger]

RASS is a robusto size of 4 7/8 x 50.

Picky picky picky... <G>

The Monte 2's from 06 are really, really good.

 

[jkim05]

i am carefully avoiding the dark side as much as i can. i can't afford to get involved right now...

 

[GWN]

The Monte 2's from 06 are really, really good.

How'd you get them to taste so good so quickly? Mine are still working their way through the sick period.

 

[cvm4]

Nice! Congrats...I've heard the #4's were good from '06.

 

[slcraiders]

Congrats on converting to the darkside. The #4's are the only size I do not think I have tried. Enjoy!

P.S.- Tuffy

As an FYI, Tinder Box is doing a Fonseca Cubano Limitado in-store event on May 15th (4-8pm). They are also in the final stages of putting together a Davidoff cigar dinner- Date TBD.

 

[kirscovitch]

Any advice on what to try next?

My suggestions:

- Ramon Allones Specially Selected
- Partagas Serie D No.4
- Bolivar Royal Coronas

Those are all great cigars that smoke well fresh-n-young (and even better aged). They're all robustos, so they've got a large ring guage--something you're probably still partial to as that's what you'll find in b&ms today--and they're all relatively affordable as well.

You can't go wrong with any of those. Shoot, I'd suggest you buy all three. okemyeye:

ditto on all those!! exp. the RASS's!!

 

[Wasch_24]

Habanos are good.

 

[CWS]

Bolivar Petit Corona
Party Short
HdM Epi #2

 

[frankluke]

Habanos are good.

man has a way with words, :headroll:

a good way to go is a sampler, try a corona gordas or corona sampler, that way you can try i few things, get an idea what that marca/brand is about, then you can base your future buys from that.. i went this route when starting out, and i think a few other brothers have.
