Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 
I hit a B & M the other day and found a La Aroma De Cuba Limited (DPG) lancero and a San Cristobal lancero, neither of which I knew existed before seeing them in-the-leaf. Apparently, they are new and, to date, only available in a 10-stick sampler which features 5 of each. This B & M split some up to sell as singles, so I get to try 'em out.

Sorry, no pics yet, as my camera's on the fritz again. I'll try to get some up soon.

Nice! I enjoyed the Habano Wrapper too.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 
After I know what (if any) damage I have at CBID tonight, I will probably order a box of the habano wrapper as well.

I can't wait to try the Cains I bought but I'm a little leery about them since they were made by the same guy who does NUB...

Chris,

I am not a Nub fan, but Cain is completely different. If you like Oliva serie V, you will no doubt love Cain.

I must be slow, but I've never heard of Cain before, who makes them? If anyone is interested in selling a fiver I'd love to try them.

Made by the same guy that makes Nub, Sam Leccia (sp?)... Supposed to be a straight ligero bomb if I remember correctly.

I am looking forward to trying the Cain Maduro. :tu

Chris. 09-02-2009 04:35 PM

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 
Yep and they are actually relatively inexpensive! $5-$9 depending on size. I think the 550 is a great size.

I haven't sampled the Habano Cain yet, but the maduro cain makes me top 5 cigars, I think. Its DANG tasty. Need to find a box.

Had my first Cain tonight, too. Pretty tasty. Also had my first Liga Privada, and may have enjoyed it even more.

Got these for the humidor . . .

I had a Liga Privada last night and to be honest I can't tell whether I liked it or not. There were times during the stick were I really liked and could see myself buying more and times were I was just not happy with it. I'm wonder if I buy a few and put them away for a while if that will help. :confused:

My son bought me these last night at the Cain event at Jungle Jims in Cinci, they are a slightly early Birthday present. Had them autographed by Sam Leccia who was at the Event rolling and chillin:

Weak compared to some of the recent pick ups, I know.

Grabbed a couple of VSG coronas at the behest of a good friend. It will be a first for me. I can't wait to see what the fuss is about.:dr

i am glad i am not the only one that notices that. lol

now the lady that works at the va beach blvd store is cool. you walk in, she says "HI, let me know if you need any help finding anything."

you go about your shopping without a pest. good times.

Hahah that's funny. I think when you're getting followed around, having to pretty much smell their breathe on your shoulder, is my biggest pet peeve when it comes to going into a shop.
