Don Carlos Aniv. Toro, Opus X No. 2, Ashton ESG 20 year.

Well, I think I'll smoke one for a refrence when they get here and store the rest a couple years. I sure hope they eventualy live up to their price tags.

I just got word from Tobacco Grove that my sampler has shipped. Anyone else had a chance to smoke these? I'm still very curious about these and was hoping for some more reviews. I also rented the move for the weekend just in case they come in and I'm in the mood.

Split wrappers are usualy caused by the outside of the cigar and the inside of the cigars trying to be two diffirent sizes when thier humidity even out and the inside is winning. Rapid changes in humidity or temperature can set this off or make it worse. If it's happening to this many cigars...

don't know what the name of the cigar was, but I was playing pool in a bar, George was on the radio singing "Bad to the Bone." I got hooked on the good times that come with cigars, long before I found or got hooked on good cigars.

The one shop releases that are a diffirent blend like the T110 I like, because I think we are Pete's testing ground and I like trying diffirent stuff, but a standard blend that is a little shorter or longer is not something I'd chase. As far as tired of it, Naw, the one shop releases haven't...

They are called barber poles and are not rare, many makers had done them like the Fuente Between the Lines. Does not make for a good or bad cigar, it's mostly gymic IMO. Beware of the cheap barber poles though, they are usualy making a bad cigar look good.

Don't give up, I agree with Chuck, you could get lucky. Sorry to hear about this though.

Like finding out the Prom Queen you banged is in Hustler now.

You did good, I've shot dozens of diffirent HK's and the only one I didn't care for was the old P7 Squeeze Cocker. If the USP you got is anything like the one's I shot in the service, you'll love it.

I think any time you can find a way to further bond with your kids is golden. As far as cigars being a vice, your son is 18 and it's time to remove the bubble wrap so he can grow on his own, and if you are lucky he'll come back for advice now and then, maybe over a good cigar. My .02

I largly agre about the access to good cigars and good tobbacco is a good thing. But that isn't what I'm talking about, Fuente has a lot of great Opus and some HTF's that are special blends. But will an Opus shark really taste diffirent than a Super B or No.2? Same blend, same wrapper, almost...

Fuente has gotten me thinking. We've all seen HTF LE's go at auction for crazy prices. We often save and cherish our HTF's even if there is a production cigar very close in size and flavor. So is it OK for Fuente or anyone to take their rare cigars and mass produce them with the same band...

Thanks, maybe we'll get some fivers of several.

Thanks for the offer, but I think the point is to give him something different.

Thanks all, the Hemingway Maddies sound like a great idea, dosn't have to be the same price point, it's for a present.

I've got a friend who has a friend who smokes the Excaliber Maddies for a daily smoke. My friend wants to get him somthing nice but we want to stay close to what we know he will like, so what's a step up from a HdM Ex Maddy, but match some of the flavors. I haven't had one of these in years...
