They're great even off the truck! lol. Those are my everyday putz around favorites. I smoked one today as a matter of fact. I haven't aged any yet... but I will once I have a coolidor and some cash lol.

You really rest 'em for a year?

Mac, if you haven't tried the Famous Nic 5000's
yet, do yourself a favor & grab a bundle. :tu
These come on the Monster fairly often, as well.
Personally, I prefer them to the 3000's.

Nice job on 3000 bundle from the monster. I am on a purchasing moratorium, otherwise I'd own them too. I haven't heard much talk about them on this board, but the 6000's are some bad ass smokes.... rich and flavorful and draw and burn perfectly. Famous really has come through with awesome house blends IMO.

So just finished up bowling and went to a local B&M that happened to be closing. They had some smoking deals in there to clear out their inventory. Most of my favorite smokes were already gone but I found a few to try. I think I found some good ones. :xxx

Has anyone ever tried the Partagas 160? They were 50% off so I decided to give them a shot. Everything else in the picture was either 15, 20 or 30% off.

Seriously Stewshi, that's intense. A lot of Opis right there! The 160's are ok. A flop in my opinion Ayer the 150's. Which reminds me, I need to post a WTB for those 150's!

You got plenty of Opus Brother. I'd let most up them sleep awhile. Mmmmm

Are the power rangers also the Belicoso XXX? If yes then I did get the box that was one of the stipulations of buying the rest of the supply :r

Are the boxes worth anything?

Yes they are the same. As for the worth of the box, not really worth anything unless someone wants one for a specific purpose, then usually a trade for a few sticks or buyers pays shipping. Best case, you might get 5 or 10 bucks...

My famous order arrived on monday. Then Dom's (jonumberone) gift from the "noobs strike back" contest arrived today.
Kristoff/Vengeance sampler, Orphaned Huerfanos sampler, 5er of Oliva G from famous
http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/pictur...pictureid=4557
The beautiful Oliva Serie V 2009 Special Sampler from Dom
http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/pictur...pictureid=4556
This is the Oliva G Figurado - box pressed - it looks odd to me like this shape really should be round. But I can't wait to fire one of these up.

Tried a G for the first time and loved it so had to order some more. The V sampler was something I liked the look of but probably never would have bought - thanks to jonumberone I've got lots of chances to see how much I like the blend.

Funny how this works though - all these different cigars should mean that my "want to buy" list is now shorter. But the exact opposite is true. The more different cigars I try the more I want to stock.

The G is great smoke...great pickup!! :tu

When I joined this asylum, I had numerous people telling to go bigger than I think I would need. I went with a 250 count humi to add to my desktop...well...now that is pretty much my desktop and I'm just about ready to move onto cooler number 2!! :r

I noticed some of my old reviews on my blog are missing pictures, so I bought a CC Hoyo petit robusto and some El Cobres so I can revisit them, take pictures and post them with the old reviews. Also bought a RA Gran Robusto Benelux RE but that didn't survive the herf.
