Re: Beetles
I routinely keep my house at 77 - 78 in the summer, and haven't had one beetle in the 8 yrs I've been here. That being said, I keep my stash right next to an A/C vent. ; )

Re: Aging aged cigars
Definitely this! I was amazed at how tasty these suckers are after about six months. My problem is I usually can't hang onto them that long!

Re: Caldwell & Other Newcomers, why?
I don't know about Caldwell's premium lines, but I had one of their Junior Varsity lines and thought it was OK. It was so unmemorable I can't even remember the exact one.
Now the one newcomer...

Re: Anyone buy the Pintolinos?
I'm not normally a cigarillo or infused flavor guy, but that's a heck of a bargain! I love the portability of a tin though, and could see myself packing one for a night out at the casino, etc.

Re: Bone Crusher
Great review of an excellent but not often talked about stick. I love the Skull Breaker as well.

Re: Alec Bradley
The tempus is good. I really liked them when they first came out, but less so now.
Also, I've been very impressed with the Raices Cubanas line. That's a darn good smoke.

Re: SOA Black Crown
I smoked one SOA, and thought it was pretty decent. It didn't blow me away, but I like the black crowns as a budget smoke, and this to me was very similar.

Re: Casa Fuente Cigar of Choice...
I say smoke whatever tickles your fancy at the time (or based on how far up in winnings you are). I always enjoy the house CF, but since you're bringing some of those home anyway, maybe an obscure...

Re: Perdomo 12 Year
Thanks for the input, have not heard of these, but they sound intriguing. I wonder if the flavor profile is similar to the old 5 Vegas Cask Strength of several years ago. I really enjoyed those,...

Re: 601 Steel
Yes, to me, all of the La Bombas are good. If you like strong and in your face cigars from the first puff, then you'll want to give any La Bomba a shot.
Smoked a couple more Steels, and they...

Re: Quesada oktoberfest das boot
I don't know if you smoked the 2014 version, but if not, give this year's Oktoberfest a shot. Its MUCH better. I had the toro size (Kaiser), and from what I was told, it has a different wrapper, and...

Re: 601 Steel
It's gotten even better. Down to last couple of inches and getting smooth coffee flavors. I think they advertise as full bodied, but to me its on the fuller side of medium. I'll have no qualms...

601 Steel
Haven't seen these mentioned yet, but I'm a 601 fan, and I saw these on cigarmonster so I grabbed a fiver.
Smoking one right now (the Rod), and its pretty good. To me, it kind of pulls in some...

Re: Liga Privada #9 vs Genesis The Project
I do enjoy the #9 as an occasional indulgence, but can't be a GTP as a $3 cigar. And if you can manage to rest them for at least a few months, they get oh so much better.

Re: La Antiquedad
These are really good. I had a toro single at my local, and like Rob said, I didn't get the trademark Pepin pepper blast either, but the enjoyable cocoa creaminess more than made up for it.
