    I've got a re-worked list that I think is a pretty nice improvement/alternative, taking care of what I see as the only flaw. I'm going to stick to my guns on my original, but I'll post up a revision after this thing is over. Surely some of these super-knowledgable cigar freaks (kuzi, maddy, kas, jozer, smoke...etc, etc...) can take it to another level. I also have to say jozer's original list was pretty amazing as well.
    it is an impressive list ya got. what makes it even better is the delivery.

    Joe The list you compiled and the way you presented it was outstanding. You can sell anything. nice job. I took notes and plan to pick up some off your list. Ooops I did it again. I will ask you to fill in my birthday list in February.

    I thought the Rare corojo had a corojo wrapper?!?
  • dutyjedutyje Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 2,263
    Punch Rare Corojo has an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Although I was apparently wrong about Cohiba XV -- it stands for Extra Vigoroso -- still with an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper.

    Then why the hell is it called a Corojo that makes no sense.

    dip, I have a 5er of the 3 Siglos ... are they that good?
  • dutyjedutyje Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 2,263
    I picked up some 3 Siglos on a recommendation in "Pick Joe's Smoke" ... haven't tried one yet. Shipped one to urby in a trade, but I don't know if he's ever tried this cigar.

    The best part is that when he reads the box he'll finally learn how to spell Siglos (sorry, Kas!)

    Got my birthday e-mail at 6:10 AM today, urby.. so yours should come in 2 days... it is as they said - 10% off an order over $100. Now, I would be shot if I spent $100 on cigars today, but I've got a month to sit on this thing.

    Blew me away - right at the top of my list. Keep reaching in my humi to grab another and convince myself rekuctantly to let them rest longer . A box purchase is definitely  in the future.

    Also, just had a Gran Habano #5 a couple of days ago. Very good too, especially for the price. Reminds me a little of a 5 Vegas Miami.

    Thanks Joe but I Sing their praises every time I smoke one so that's the reason for the spelling. And they still are the best new cigar I have had in a long while.

    Another one that I just learned the spelling of is the Fonseca. also in my defense I need reading glasses which I rarely use.

    And when is your B-day urby, if you don't mind me asking?
    The 18th.
    Hey let's get Urbi back on track, two more days till he blows out the candles.. Do you need a Burn Permit for a fire that size ?? We better ask the Capt.

    They don't allow people my age to play with matches. My "candles" will be LED.

    I'd personally recommend a transformer hooked to a constant power source, there is no way a battery (or two) could hold that much in its reserves.

    You guys should take this act on the road. Please.

    Just put a 1F Capacitor in there to make sure there are no fluctuations.

    Right now I'm over my budget, and having a hard time eliminating anything to get it back down. The last few cuts will be painful.
    get the bottem few and put the names on a dart board. start tossing. (but make sure you are a bit drunk if you are good at darts) Itll be random. you dont wanna cut any of em so its gunna suck no matter what.
