Wait until you try that 88. It was my first Illusione and will not be my last. Nice snags

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

My first illusione was the "2". LOVED it. I will probably buy a box at some time in the future. I haven't had any other illusiones I'm sure they are all delicious.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Got these last night from some good BOTL:

Have some Opus and a half box of LADC EE coming. Will post pics when they get here.

Oh yeah, I am now an ESG whore. I love em.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Very nice!

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

gracias amigo

I am thinking of getting a "special cigar" humidor soon, just for the pricey NC stuff. Wish I had a hook up like you for the X. :)
Hey Mike if you are ever in Boston fire me a PM.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

thats not a good thing to love. lol At over $22 each. I'd be buying 1926's for that much. For some reason I am able to justify $14 for a cigar but once its above $20 I just can't. Must be the broke college student mentality.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

That would be a good poll. What is your price threshhold? I really never flinch up to about $14-15, like you say . . . but after that it gets a little dicey.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

For a single that I have never had, $15 is my limit, unless I have several friends say they are awesome. then, I might drop the dough on it. But honestly, at this point in my life, if a padron 1926 wasn't given to me in a bomb I would have never bought one to know how delicious they are. I've also heard mixed reviews on the ESG, so I can't justify the cost of those either.

In my mind I would just hate to be smoking a $20 cigar that tasted like a dog rocket, because at that cost, I'd force myself to smoke it. lol

Just scored this bundle of Puros Indios Viejo offf Cigars International for $39.99 (tough to turn down for $2.00 a stick).

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

be sure and do a review on those. :)

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

The ESGs go for $34 at B&Ms here in Boston. I paid around $15 a stick so I am happy. These are not everyday smokes either.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

:confused: Wow, that is robbery...

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Good stuff there! I scored some of the media corona when they were on sale awhile back & they are great! Out of curiousity, why the 7/10...is that when you'll dig them out again?

:tu

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

I almost fainted when I saw what they wanted for Paddies. I think the Bullet went for $50 or something like that. :(

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

WHEW! $34!!? If I could get my hands on them for $15 I'd probably pick one up. lol Nice pickup man

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

no man, that's when I received them......gotta let 'em age a little. :D

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Don't wait too long...they're GOOD to go!

:D

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

wow...you write the month and DAY??

I usually write the month and YEAR....:D

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...3/aging002.jpg

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Yeah, mine never make it a year....maybe a couple months...tops.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Lol I write the full date on singles and just month/year on bundles.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Lets see how much room you have inside of the cooler.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

I see a good point to writing the exact dates..... /end sarcasm

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

I would tell them to F-off at that price and never buy anything from them. One of my local Tobacco Depot has all there ESG's at 15 each now because they do not sell well. They always had them listed for 21 each, but with the 3 cigar discount plus regular customer discounts...I could buy them for 16. I am actually waiting for them to fall under the 14 mark and I will buy the rest that they have.

They are a good cigar, but not 20+ good.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

consuegras are soooo under rated, nice bundles!!!

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Just for singles since I try to let them rest a month before smokin them. Usually don't make it that long though

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

writing dates on non-high end sticks is funny.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Well excuse us, most of us here don't light our Sharks and ESG's with $100 bills.

(edited to delete image of recent purchase because they are apparently not high end enough for some)

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

not sure why it's funny. I dont do it but dates are to note a time of purchase and how the cigar ages. Shouldnt have anything to do with prices.

Now writing the price that you paid for on your smokes to remind you your smoking a high end stick is funny!

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

No doubt. I hope they at least give you a kiss as well.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Dude, relax and go smoke a cigar.

It was just my opinion that it would be a waste of time for ME to do it. I smoke a fair amount of cigars a week (figure at least a box) so they barely see the light of day before they are up in smoke.

As for my stash, it is nothing compared to most of the guys here. Yeah I have some Opus, ESG, Anejo, etc but those are saved for special days.

We cool? :ss

I pay around $15 for my ESG. They are worth it to me at that price.

The barmaids at the $34 lounge are cute though. :)

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Lots of things we do in this hobby are funny, stockpiling coolers full of cigars is a great example.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

:r I actually guit cigaretts and took up cigars as a way to "beat the high cost of smokes" once the SCHIP passed.

:tu I are smrt!!!

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

I usually have to set an aston martin on fire and watch it burn to the ground as i light my gurkhas.... (1 up Bobby)

:banger

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

yup there is something to brag about........

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Did I mention the wife bought Gurkhas??

:r

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

yeahhhhh, you easily spend more for one cigar than you do for a pack of cigarettes. lol I thought about this the other day. I used to smoke and thought it was getting expensive for me so I quit. I've never been addicted, so it was easy to quit. I developed a habit of smoking them but never the feigning. Now I'm here smoking cigars that cost anywhere from $2 to $15 EACH! lol, what a great switch...:confused::ss:dance:

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

you dont smoke a box of cigars a day though :D

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

lol, and I only went through a pack a every 4 days at my worst.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
