Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum - Show your latest NC purchase II!

My awesome wife was out at Vegas for a funeral and picked my up a couple of smokes to help me celebrate my finals. As it turns out now I can celebrate becoming a dad. I get the smokes and a + sign on one of those EPTs. Attachment 10862

I love my wife.

If I was stranded on a deserted island, and I only had three wishes, after unlimited food and water and Jessica Biel in a micro bikini, I would choose that selection of sticks............darn, I would need a fourth wish to obtain a lighter!

they changed the bands on hemingways and don carloses this summer, the ones without the extra gold band either were made with some backstock of the old bands(doubtful as all hemingways rest for 6 months prior to release) or are last years release

I think they send two cigars with membership. There is a 10 stick CRA sampler I see once in awhile. Forget how to acquire it though.

First big purchase.

The first pic is of my whole haul.

The second is of the Padilla Single Batch Sampler, including some 2009 Edicion Limitada Miamis that I am particularly excited about.

The third is my 5 Vegas box-pressed sampler.

The fourth; my first ever box purchase! Perdomo Lot 23's, my favorites.

The fifth is obviously that box, just opened.

That might be my New Years smoke, or I just might save it for a while, like the Serie JJ I'm saving for next JJ Day.

I've been wanting to try an LP, so this is an early Christmas present for me.

Still waiting on 2 I got for free: The pipesandcigars.com one, and the Retro Especiale I won on FB.

Got the Toros, my first few I had were Churchills, and I wanted to stick to the longer cigar, so I went above Robusto, but didn't want the time commitment for the Churchill, Toro was a happy medium.

I'm with you Flounder, I like the Toro size best myself.

I used to smoke Churchills or double coronas exclusively. Now, since I found these great deals online, I am smoking more Toros and Robustos. I'm liking the Toros more and more.

The hard part while you're buying online too is that like for me, upgrading from a box of robustos to toros was $4. And from toro to churchill was another $4, that's 20 inches of cigar for only $4 more. So the value is there to buy the bigger sticks, it's hard not to sometimes.

Damn Brooks, great find. I got that email in the evening, decided to sleep on a 5'er or a box, and when I went to go buy them the next morning they were gone! Oh well :)

Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!

The problem I have, especially now that winter is hear is the smoke time. A robusto is about all I can stand before I freeze.

Is there any other reason you like the toro, or just because of the bigger size?

That said, some sizes just taste the best for the stick, generally for me toros do the trick, but some times other sizes will pop up as better(Tat Blacks are best as the PLs IMO, for instance)
