They are a helluva deal. Those Caldwells and Barbas too. Caldwell is some of the best stuff going right now. Seriously If you have no had any of the La Barba line get on it now while they are cheap.

Never had Sobremesa so I picked those up. Honestly, not really impressed.

Nice grabs. I haven't had a Bait Fish in a couple of years, great short smoke.

OK, JRCigar had an insane sale, so I got a bunch of cigars at a ridiculous price. I love the ERdM line, especially the tissue wrapped "Robustos" in all their sizes, they have been incredible consistent in taste since I first tried them my first year of college back in 1980-81.

There were three 5-packs of the "Robusto Supremo" thrown in for free - one 5-pack for each box that I ordered. I will admit that the Nicaraguan line is a newer line that until this order, I have never tried. So... this is a new ERdM to me. I am curious to see how I enjoy it.





Peace of the Lord be with you.

Nice haul, brother. I too like the tissued ERDMs, and if I might be so bold suggest the Rectangulares as well. I have also gotten a few of the newer Nikky freebies in the past, and to me they are - ehh, not to my taste compared to the traditional line.

The Rectangulars were not a part of the special...

That whole package ran me under $175, just for comparison... that is for 90 smokes!

Oh yeah, those cigars are for good times while social distancing. Of course, every time I smoke a cigar I’m practicing social distancing. In the immortal words of Punch, “I use my cigar smoke as idiot repellant.”

What I like about it, is that the flavors take me back to 1981 and smoking them then, they are consistent to the flavors I knew...wonderful reminiscence.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Talking Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV



I felt it was time for a little NC reinforcement!
Clockwise from top left as follows;

- Futuro Coronas - already have the 109s and I absolutely love them, these Coronas have been a long time coming.
- CLE Corojo Robustos - I had this blend in the corona gorda format and they were incredible...unfortunately, due to the 69% boveda that came with this cab, there is some definite mold on the wrappers of some of the cigars...spotty and very light, but it's definitely there, hoping I can just wipe it off and go about my business.
- 601 Steel Coronas - has a 5er of these in Toros, bold & peppery but with a lot of unique and interesting flavors underneath all of that pepper. God bless Eric Espinosa.
- Espinosa Hush Money Toros - okay this is a fun one, never had these before but as I love almost all Espinosa blends, I had to try. Comes in a manila envelope designed to look like...well, you know. I even received a customary paper cut when I opened the envelope, so it's definitely authentic.
- Bag of 3 different 5ers, 1 My Father The Judge Toro Finos, 1 My Father Le Bijou Belicoso & 1 Cabaiguan Coronas Extra..there are 2 of my favorite My Father blends and I read somewhere recently someone here was praising the Cabaiguans, so I decided to give them a spin.

Nice! You definitely went big here hah. Fond memories of the CLE but I have to admit to not going head over heals for them but I definitely remember enjoying them.

I also have had a 601 Steel but it’s more of an issue of play time last two years or so has been with Ezra Zion and CigarFed plus BLTC and Black Works. 601 blends have gone through ups and downs with me and I’m not sure I’ve ever gotten over the times they were rolled by Rocky Patel.

And the Pepin cigar, that’s why the 601 blend tanked is the move away from Pepin. Don Pepin is still a Master.

Nice pick ups!
