Opus something,
Oliva Connecticut
Nestor Miranda
Illusione 88
and El Cobre

The only one of these I have had is the opus

Wait until you try that 88. It was my first Illusione and will not be my last. Nice snags

Chris. · 07-10-2009, 10:31 PM

My first illusione was the "2". LOVED it. I will probably buy a box at some time in the future. I haven't had any other illusiones I'm sure they are all delicious.

Got these last night from some good BOTL:

Have some Opus and a half box of LADC EE coming. Will post pics when they get here.

Oh yeah, I am now an ESG whore. I love em.

I am thinking of getting a "special cigar" humidor soon, just for the pricey NC stuff. Wish I had a hook up like you for the X.

Hey Mike if you are ever in Boston fire me a PM.

Chris. · 07-11-2009, 07:25 AM

thats not a good thing to love. lol At over $22 each. I'd be buying 1926's for that much. For some reason I am able to justify $14 for a cigar but once its above $20 I just can't. Must be the broke college student mentality.

That would be a good poll. What is your price threshhold? I really never flinch up to about $14-15, like you say . . . but after that it gets a little dicey.

Chris. · 07-11-2009, 07:39 AM

For a single that I have never had, $15 is my limit, unless I have several friends say they are awesome. then, I might drop the dough on it. But honestly, at this point in my life, if a padron 1926 wasn't given to me in a bomb I would have never bought one to know how delicious they are. I've also heard mixed reviews on the ESG, so I can't justify the cost of those either.

In my mind I would just hate to be smoking a $20 cigar that tasted like a dog rocket, because at that cost, I'd force myself to smoke it. lol

Just scored this bundle of Puros Indios Viejo offf Cigars International for $39.99 (tough to turn down for $2.00 a stick).

Chris. · 07-11-2009, 08:02 AM

be sure and do a review on those.

The ESGs go for $34 at B&Ms here in Boston. I paid around $15 a stick so I am happy. These are not everyday smokes either.

Good stuff there! I scored some of the media corona when they were on sale awhile back & they are great! Out of curiousity, why the 7/10...is that when you'll dig them out again?

I almost fainted when I saw what they wanted for Paddies. I think the Bullet went for $50 or something like that.
