Catch me up.
So it's been a few years, and I have no idea who the key players are now.
Is Pepin still hot? Or Tatuaje? What is the latest and greatest? Most, but not all of my stash, was made by Pepin, or Tropical. Padilla 32, Miami's 601, red, 601 La Bomba. You can see the pattern. lol. I want to get rid of some of my stash, but I know I'm going to want to try some of the rising stars smokes doctors orders or not lol. I used to shop at Holts a lot, or whoever had the brand I wanted at the best price. Not a big CI Fan. So hit me! who, and what is the big thing. I hope this doesn't violate any rules, but are there any new vendors worth checking out, or is there a forum that rates them that I missed? Thanks guys. |

Re: Catch me up.
Welcome Haddo - "delighted" to meet you. (Pipe smokers - see what I did there, eh? Sharp or what?)
Put your feet up, have a smoke. Folks have a variety of tastes around here, although we all have to send our Ghurkas to Icehog to enjoy (Tom likes his Ghurkas, he does). In the NC world Espinosa and Pepin are still up there - along with My Father, DE Liga Privada, Fuente, Tatuaje and lots of new boutique brands. Lots to try. For me the boutiques hold a lot of intrigue - I'm enjoying Caldwell, Roma Craft, and Warped quite a bit. Chill - have a look around. I'm sure you'll find some like minded friends to bomb or trade with....

Re: Catch me up.
I will go through all of my coolers, and put together some smokes I will never get to. Some are pretty good smokes. No Mutt Missiles. I'm sure the troops will enjoy them along with moist wipes, and other goodies I can come up with.

As for what's new in the NC world, I have no current advice to offer. I'd probably be suggesting stuff from back before you took a hiatus. LOL. |

I got to the point were I got burnt out on all of the add copy they put out for cigars. One rare one week after week. I do have some discontinued ones I will hang on to, just because they were from when Pepin first started with Tropical. Hard to find, and some great smokes. No more rare leaf, lost bales of tobacco, etc. Almost all of the sticks I'm getting ready for the troops are good smokes. Just not my cup o tea. |

Re: Catch me up.
Nothing today, but last night an opus petite lancero from 05. Sublime.
Not a big DR fan, or Fuente for the most part, but an Opus PL, or busto can be great smokes. Tonight a generic Honduran lancero from a bundle a buddy gave me. Great smoke, and cheap. |

Re: Catch me up.
Question.
What forum do you guys use for buying, selling, and trading? Is this something that isn't visible until you meet the criteria? Just curious. I wanted to see what kind of smokes are going around in that forum. If I have to wait for it to appear after awhile that's fine. Like I said, just curious. It's nice to be back, and on a board that's got it's sh%$ together. |
