So I was over visiting JoeD and CarrieM and JrJoeD this past weekend, and after dinner Joe offered me a cigar. I selected a beautiful Bolivar - I don't remember the name, but it was a maduro in a glass tube. I'll more than likely PM Joe to ask what it was so I can get some. In case that doesn't make it clear, it was excellent.
Last night I decided I had to buy some cigars; I was looking for that one Bolivar. I was unable to find any, but my search brought me to the "Make Me an Offer" section at Cigars International. I put in some offers for the Bolivar tubo's they had, but was unable to get a box for what I wanted to spend. Then another box caught my eye.
I spotted a box of 25 Chateau Real Maduro's by Drew Estate. The size was right up my ally at 5.2" x 46. They are listed at $108 on CI, so I put in an offer for $75. It was deliberating last night, but I woke up this morning to see that it went through. I've heard good things about Drew Estate cigars but have yet to try one. I figure even if it's just pretty good, it's still not bad at $3 per stick.
Now all I need to do is wait for them to arrive, shuffle my humidors around, and then wait for some warm weather.
Anyone stocking up to let their sticks rest a few months before the summer hits?
