Today was a good day to say the least...
I smoked 2 cigars by 2 pm; the wife, God lover her (and so do I) only called once and spit all 5 of my chores on today's to do list out in less than 15 seconds then she hung up; I smoked my first Fuente Anejo; and i found this unbelieveable smoke shop about 30 miles outside of Indy in this quaint little town. The place was unbelieveable! They had almost everything on my list of about 20. I ended up dropping a few pennies without the approval of the board, my wife. I really need to buy her a skirt so she'll quit wearing the proverbial pants.
Anyhow, my purchases included the following...
2 Opus X PerfecXion No 2
2 Padron 1926 No.9 (#1 cigar for 2007) Now i have 3, I'm excited about how well those will age. Not going to touch them for at least 3 years.
Fuente Anejo No 50, which i lit before i left the shop
3 Hoyo Excalibur Maduro Epicures (I've been looking for those for about 6 months, i got the last 3)
2 Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles
A few more Torano Signature Series Robustos and Toros. My first cigar today was the last toro i had in my humi
1 CAO American Monument, just cuz it looks neat.
I also won 2 bids on CBID for a couple five packs of some things i've never tried but come with high ratings by CA.
That's a good day for me. No. That's a ggrrrreat day for me.
I plan on posting reviews of the Torano and the Anejo tomorrow. As a teaser, i picked up some interesting flavors in the Torano that i'd never noticed before, something along the lines of chocolate and cherry. The anejo was pretty dang unbelieveable. I've i hadn't seen the cigar in my hand, i'd have sworn i was drinking a mocha.
Anyhow, a full review later.
If all of you alls had half as good a day as me, i'm happy for you. I think i might even try to score tonight, :grinFU: as long as she doesn't see that receipt.
By the way, that shop i found was very reasonably priced. Anejo #77, the shark, priced at $19.95. Padron 80th Anniversaries for 29.95. Ashton ESG 20 and 21 year salutes, 21.96. I haven't even seen the 21 yr salutes before and i've only had 1 of the 20 yrs. Opus X were 14.50 to 15.95. They had the no.4, no 5, belicoso and the super belicoso. Padron 40 yr for 29.95. I had some good conversation with the owner and he said he'd mail me anything. Anyone interested in splitting a box of any of that let me know and we can work something out. I know for me, some of that stuff is hard to find so i'm thrilled at having a direct line to it with good prices. The price i paid for anejos on cbid makes me sick.
