Oh my! That's one heck of a description! Talk about hitting all the key words!

Its awful because there are so many cigars I want to try and I have more than a few Arturo Fuente's in my Humi that I don't necessarily care for... but I will try these. Yum .

Interesting, I have found Arturos to be hit and miss
I have though preferred their lager ring Gran Reserva's and really enjoyed the Hemingway.
Opus X is still on my list but honestly, I'll probably avoid their lower priced selections in the future.
Of course, YMMV

Found a couple Padilla Miami Edicion Limitada 2009 maduro's deep in my humi. Forgot all about them so I put the flame to one tonight. Not bad

I am with you on that - but you really need to give the Opus a smoke.

Story time - I have this lawyer friend who begrudgingly went with me to the cigar bar one day. He picked up the Opus because it was one of the more expensive cigars there - I followed suit as to not look as poor as I am. It was a lancero special edition Opus. My gosh was it good. I mean crazy good.

As a sign of indifference to my absolute gushing over the cigar, he let his burn out after the first quarter (at least that was my bitter take lol). I went on to smoke mine - it was awesome. So awesome in fact, I did something I never do, I took a mans discards and went to town. Yup, I re-lit his and enjoyed it in his back yard as we did BBQ lol. No shame .

Just writing this makes me wonder if it was the day or what? Whatever it was, I really enjoyed that stick... or stick and 3/4s lol. The vendor never had them again . Maybe it really was a special edition lol.

I have (and hopefully never will) encounter an AF that wasn't thoroughly enjoyable!

I have read that the 'curlyheads' aren't all that great, but I believe they are machine made...?

Earcutter is bang on with the Opus X. Not exactly cheap, but it's one of those situations where you get what you paid for really; give one a go.

Yesterday was a Nick's Stick (of the Perdomo fame), a 'Little Havana'. Great price point and a great stick...I let it age in my humi for a while.



This morning was a CAO 'Sol'.

Haven't had one of this in quite the while, just as good as I remember!

While I am the furthest thing away from being a 'Brand Whore'...I couldn't pass this up!



Yeah, I love these sticks THAT much.

Brand whore!!! .
