Cigars picked up on 6 state road trip

Angry_Pirate · 07-15-2011, 12:07 AM

This is my first thread!! The wife and I took a 6 state road trip (WV,PA,NJ,VA,MD,DE) and just got back we are trying to get to all 50 states we are about half way there

. We have a deal I drive her to the wineries for tastings and I get my cigars

Here are some pics of the Cigars I got while on vacation. I always look for different and rare cigars and I like variety! I picked up 2 Mike Ditka Championship cigars made by Graycliff which I had never heard of or seen before.

That's an awesome trip idea

Looks like you got some Opus X on the way. That second one on the left looks very unique....I never heard of those limited Graycliffs but congrats on your findings.

Good first thread.

Looking good bro. Let me know how you like the Perdomo 10th Anni Champagne. Those are easily one of my favorite NCs in production today.

great job, great road trip! I don't live far from CI, guess you grabbed the last Lost City?

I believe it was the only one they had, although they have a Opus X Love affair (non lost city) ending today on cigarbid.com. Which I think is owned by CI if that's any help.

Oh nice, sit on that one for a few years. I would guess, if I had to, you will be rewarded very well

nice scores!!!!

Very nice haul! The lost city Opus are very good. Nothing like the regular blend. I haven't seen a Mike Ditka Graycliff in years!

jjirons69 · 07-15-2011, 07:27 AM

Cliff set me up years ago with one and I don't have the heart to smoke it. Too unique.

I feel the same way about smoking them. The shop had 3 of these I picked up the pyramid one day and went back and got the churchhill the next day. They still had 1 pyramid left.

Great Idea hitting all 50 states, and even better Idea picking up cigars from them! Very nice sticks my friend! And great thread.

maninblack · 07-15-2011, 10:55 AM

Great idea and great haul!! Some very tasty smokes in there!

Davis · 07-15-2011, 11:02 AM

This thread makes me want a road trip now. Damn this whole day job thing!

07-15-2011, 11:34 AM

Great idea....but don't forget about the wine too. Mmmmmm....wine and cigars!!!

hscmit · 07-15-2011, 11:49 AM

great souvenirs

CoreyD · 07-15-2011, 03:02 PM

I smoked my first Greycliff back on fathers day and it was from 06 and it was yummy and Can't wait to try another Greycliff.But these tat HTF's and other rare Htf's are higher on my wish / bucket list.
Nice haul though. Looks like you had fun, I don't think I could justify buying a stick from each place like that with a full traveldor hehe because when I travel I pack the traveldor full.
