    Simple Smokes

    Good luck on the latter, they have been discontinued. Sad, but not unwarranted. They were overpriced for being an ok stick. The LX2 is fantastic. Otherwise, I agree with Zen. Good list there. Bear

    Alec Bradley SCR Corona

    An amazing cigar. Great changes in the different sizes, all of them good in their own way. I would put this cigar into the high 80's, easy. It's good to hear yours burned well. For the life of me, I haven't had a single one that hasn't burned weird. None of them have been bad enough to...

    Jaime Garcia Reserva Especiale Toro

    Went to a Pepin event last night and got to try one of these. Although the cigar, IMO, was better manufactured and more oily, it tasted to me like the new El Baton line. It was slightly smoother, great draw, MUCH less toothy, but the overall flavors were very very similar. Bear

    Candela wrappers

    I smoke a candela on occasion, but they really have to have some age on them. The flavor is so dang strong (is intense a better word?) I second the Don Tomas candela. Cheap and pretty reliable smoke. Bear

    Fuente Curly Heads

    $0.50 a piece is a great deal for curly heads. They are GREAT yardwork and travel cigars. I can't say I would sit down over a glass of scotch with a curly head, but hey- you might love them :) Bear

    what are some of your favorite cigar boxes/packaging?

    I'm a big fan of the Torano Tribute box with its wood inlays. I used some box tops I collected for decor at a temp apartment in St. Louis: I've added to the collection and changed things around since. It was very Oliva/RP heavy. One of my favorite boxes is the new Tat Verocu Tubo box...

    Nosotros Worldwide Release Wrap-Up

    I'm anxiously awaiting the review. Had the corona last night and I absolutely agree with Larry for anyone who gets a box. Smoke a couple, but rest these things 6 months and they will just explode. Draw was tight. Forced the smoke to be slow. Had a little trouble keeping it lit, so that I...

    E P Carillo Short Run...Just out......

    I don't know if the ones I just saw at Davids were the short run or the earlier ones. They ran $14 avg, not $7.5. If they are worth it, I will pick one up. Anyone care to post a quick review? Bear
