Hopefully, you can see this clearly. Just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. These literally just fell in my lap. Unfortunately he would not sell me the entire box even after I offered him $100 cash extra. I'll go back tomorrow and try to buy some more of them.

HOLY CRAP that's quite a haul!

Those ESGs are gonna rock. Man, you've got enough to actually sit on. They're good now, but they should be outstanding in a few years.

That 160 though, you might as well smoke it now. I haven't had the Chruchill size, but I've had the Robusto Major. It's a fairly mild smoke, one of those things you have to be in the mood for. Just watch out for the ultra-delicate wrapper; it's prone to damage.



Man I'm jealous! Well except for the hit to the wallet--but it's worth it!

$21.95 per stick plus a 5% discount.

When I bought the 160, I also bought a robusto (?) also, and it was way too mild for me. Had I known that I probably wouldn't have bought this one, but the packaging was unique enough for me to appreciate it for that reason.

Not a terrible price, a bit high but you got the discount. Forget about them in the humi and let them get some age on them. I bet they only get better.

I'll smoke tomorrow night to get a baseline, and I'll let the others rest. Apparently the word around here is that they need at least six months on them.

I wasn't disappointed with the 160 because I knew going into it what it should be like, considering the reputation of the 150.

Of course my buddy Frank smoked a Opus X Lancero 2005 (Prometheus) while I was smoking the 160, so no matter how nice I thought my cigar was, I knew the cigar across the table was vastly superior. LOL!

$22 for an Ashton? :wtf: Too rich for my wallet.

Seems like there is a growing trend toward the uber-premium end of the price spectrum by more and more manufacturers.
I recently saw an ad for a Ltd Edition cigar from Leon Jiminez fer crissake.

What's next ... 20th Anniversary Consuegras?
