I have given it a FIRM inspection now after your question and if I had to wager, I'm saying '09....

(somewhat) Blind purchase, I have had and very much enjoyed the 88's.....and since I have started gravitating towards beliscos....and stumbled on what I thought was a VERY GOOD deal....I jumped on these.

Nice hauls everyone! I don't think Illusione was making cigars in 07.

I don't have pics, cause I smoked most of them or gave them away for my wedding, but I recently picked up a box of Padilla Miami and My Father Le Bijou 1922.

Show the Ash! Great pickup Brother. My Father for a wedding? You're a good man!

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 
Although not as good as pics of the ash, here are pics of the empty boxes. Needless to say, my guests and groomsmen were very pleased :D. I am keeping a handful of the Pepins for major events of my life (Kid, 1, 10, 50 year anniversaries) because they are the ones I actually acquired the same date of my wedding.

Le Bijou's look good. Picked up a box recently at Schwab's, in Lexington, KY. Found a box (23 of 25) today of sun-grown Montesino beli's today, at Bean & Briar in Clarksville, TN. I love SG wrappers, and these have supposedly moved into the HTF category.

Looking forward to seeing what my local B&M brings back from New Orleans next week.

Oh those LeBjiou 1922's have had me curious for a while! I just can't seem to win any at a price I can currently afford... yet.

Congrats on the wedding!! :tu

I was thinking about picking up some smokes for my wedding too because that's just around the corner. I'm hoping that if I can a bunch of the people there to have a cigar, I might actually have a chance to slip outside for one too. :D

If I could give any advice from what I've learned this past week it's these few things,

#1 Buy a shorter size: Not everyone your gifting a cigar is going to be a smoker, and likewise, it's always easier to give someone a second cigar than to watch half or 3/4's of the cigar go to waste.

#2 If your going to gift them to your guests as a wedding favor, make sure you bring a backup gift for those that prefer not to take the cigar: I had a couple of people decline the cigars, luckily since the men and women got different favors those men left with something.

#3 Buy something memorable: It doesn't have to be expensive, but buy something that you're going to enjoy; because that's the cigar you're always going to remember for a lifetime. Plus, when you do smoke that cigar in the future, you can always remind your wife for brownie points.
