Rolled the dice a little bit here. Wife and I were in Dublin, Ireland. Went to the Decent Cigar Shop. Poked around, saw some freakishly expensive Padrons and Opus X, normal priced Habanos. Started talking to the guys. Buy a box, 15% off. Oh look -- they have their own special house sticks. The guy that rolls them is named Carlos Valdes (pronounced 'Carelees Voldust' in Ireland) and he's Cuban and the tobacco's Cuban, and blah blah blah.

Wanted to smoke one while I was there, but the wife really did not want to sit around in a cigar store for 90 minutes on the day Ireland was legalizing gay marriage (and brothers, let me tell you, GREATEST PARTY EVER). So, I said what the hell, and got the following, which they shipped for me for a small ($17), additional fee.

What was fun was I got to actually pick out the 25 specific cigars. Some of them looked a bit healthier than others. Better pigtails and stuff like that.

Final haul was 10 Corona Gorda-ish sticks, 10 Lanceros, and 5 Robustos.

I will update you all once I smoke one/three.

Those look almost good enough to eat Great selection there!

Bought these back in April but I don't think I ever posted.

Romeo y Julieta Cedros de luxe 2
Monecristo #3

Both from 1990 (my birth year) in celebration of my 25th birthday. I'm not sure when or if I'll ever smoke them, but I know it will be a treat and an experience!

My latest mail call. They smell wonderful.

HAve you smoked one from that lot? If so how's it's smoking and what's the yr and month if you don't mind? Getting ready to order.

If you can find 2013, they may have been the best robusto in the rotation. Otherwise I think 2014s are still quite good and consistent.

Not yet. Still resting from their long trip. Jet lag you know.

Interested how yours are smoking...Just got some with the exact same box code. Smoked one only a few days after receiving and it wasn't so good...tight draw and wonky burn. Probably just needs some rest.
