Got my cigar nerd fix for the month! FWIW, Farkas seemed like a pretty cool cat. Enjoyed meeting him and talking for a bit. Pete and Larry at the Pipe and Pint in Greensboro were fantastic hosts as usual. Mad props to them for hosting and for putting up a box of undead awesomeness for a little peon like me. Here's to hoping that the secret sauce is worth the pennies. :banger

the jiggler 05-18-2013 04:07 PM

Re: Show your latest NC purchase III!
 
The three sticks are the new "Secret Sauce". They are in the friends and family family. From what I understand they are only being given out (sold) at Viaje events or Viaje events that Andre himself attends. Not sure because I have read conflicting reports. Stupid expensive...

Secret Sauce is good. Let the Shot Gun Shells spend a little down time in your humidor. They're a little on the wet side. I had two so far and both showed signs of needing at least a little dry box time at a minimum but I think a 6 to 8 week nap would improve them. On that same note I tried the Superlance and I will be honest, it was very unimpressive.

Yeah that's getting up there. I could not see spending it on a Viaje as in my experience they are way too hit or miss. Thanks for the 411.

EDIT: I have read nothing but glowing reviews about the Daisy Cutter so I would spend that on one to try if I could ever find one.

Bryan, is that from the light colored Zombie box? Or custom labels on the SS Zombies?

They are the Zombie SS. Just made some labels.

I'm sorry I'm not poking fun at Grandma but that was hilarious.

Let us know what you think of the TAAs. I had a few as well but really did not think they were ultra special. Tried the La Auora 107 Maduro TAA stick as well. Not bad but very very hard dry and to stay lit. A little rest I'm pretty sure would bounce them back.

Still have yet to see at my TAA B&M the Pete Johnson 10th anny TAA sticks. I was and am very very much looking forward to trying one.

oh i was pissed when i thought they were stolen, i was pissed when i found them, then i started laughing and laughing because it was funny. everyday i have to go through the house and look for stuff she has hidden. first place i always look is the freezer mail is always found there. :r :r

In college I lived with a very poor guy that only had one pair of shoes (but like us all at the time always had money for beer) and to mess with him on nights he got hammered and had 8am class I'd put his shoes in the freezer. Especially hilarious in the dead of MN winter.

My Grandfather towards the end would insist on when we would go get him groceries or toiletries weekly like Mach 3 razor blades or bananas to only by one single blade or banana as he would not be around long enough to use 3 and did not want to waste them lol. And if he wanted an alcoholic beverage it had to be in the hotel mini-bar type bottles for the same reason.

He was hilarious at family dinners like Xmas and Thanksgiving as he was virtually deaf, had hearing aids but refused to use them and would sitting at the dining room table and rip ass as he thought no one could hear him lmao. We messed with him by sending subliminal messages under our breath like "Grandpa you should spoil yourself and buy a Corvette or a 30' boat to enjoy" he eventually caught on we were giving him crap related to the "I'm not going to be around long" as we wanted to inherit it. Ahh Gramps I miss ya!
