Default my trip to NYC & small haul

On Wednesday of last week, I woke up on the other side of the country. Completely confused, not knowing how I got there, what I was doing there or how I was going to crash Obama's charity dinner featuring Bruce Springsteen & Billy Joel, I immediately attempted to regain my composure. The only way I know how to do that, of course, is to visit a couple cigar stores in New York City that I hadn't been to before (which leaves a lot because I've only been to Barclay-Rex in the past) and treat myself to some great smokes.

First up was Davidoff on Madison where Scottw talked me through a very difficult episode wherein I had felt like a nightmare had come true and I actually lived in NYC (no offense - I could do it for about 3 months, I figure). Scottw was instrumental in recommending some great cigars for me. I picked up a Padron 2000, 2 Cusano 18 Double Connecticut Robustos & 3 Oliva Special S Tubos (papajohn had introduced me to that great cigar).

Then I headed over to JR's on 5th Ave, the world's largest cigar store. WOW. That place is huge and spans two floors. I picked up a Camacho Triple Maduro Torpedo, a Montecristo Serie C Toro (which I smoked on my hotel balcony - delicious), a Cohiba Extra Vigoroso Toro, a Partagas 1845 Toro, a Fonseca Cubano Viso Fuerte Toro and a sweet H. Upmann ashtray to use on my hotel balcony when I had clients over.

JR's (they didn't allow pictures to be taken inside):
