No, but I sure as hell need one! it would be much easier if I had one. Instead, I have 8 humis, 4 tupperdors and 20+ bags. When I get a house I plan on getting a big cabinet but I need to get the house first. After this Don Carlos buy, when ever it is I am putting most of my cigar buying on hold. I need my own place badly.

well hey, I'm always willing to help you thin your stock....
Well, I had my CAO America today. I was pretty unimpressed, the rolling wasn't done too well, which I can sort of understand since it's wrapped with two different leafs. The draw was very woody, and with a bit of spice. A lit the cigar up, and it burned pretty well. I'd made the mistake of torching it a little to quickly, so I let it burn for a bit. The initial draw was very woody, but that soon mellowed out to a smooth, cream/wood cigar. It was actually a pretty boring smoke, up until the last third. The last third literally exploded with flavor, lots of wood, a dull spice in the back, with notes of coffee. Really GREAT last third. I plan on buying a few more and seeing if letting them sit more will even it out. Will this work?
Finishing up a La Aurora Barrel Aged Robusto as I type. Stick was a pretty good with an impeccable burn and solid white-grey ash. Somewhat sweet throughout with only a touch of spice. Only medium in body with that was earthy and sweet as well. I have another one that will rest a little longer, but a decent smoke for a cool, wet afternoon here.
Today is my 50th birthday so I'm smoking a AF Hemingway classic maduro
Well, Happy birthday to the new guy 405bench.. hope it is a good one.
Here is to another 50!! Great stick on a great day.
Just finished my first Brazilian Label. The first inch I was a little boring. In the middle it really picked up. By the end, I was almost smoking my fingers because I didn't want to put it down. I am just more and more impressed with the house brand. I can see myself having all of these in stock year round.
Camacho 1962 Pre-embargo for me today. This is my favorite Camacho cigar, such a wonderful flavor and damn near perfectly executed. I ought to look into getting a box before they are impossible to find.
Only had time for one smoke today so I made it an old favorite a Java Maduro Toro. Excellent const., great draw and burn flawless....and that wonderful Java flavor. Work became a pain as most of my guys decided they had forgotten how to do their jobs and spent most of the day hamster dancing and acting all goofy.....what DO they bring in those thermos'es ...
Had a Gurkha Signature 1887 Black tonight. It started out ok but the burn was off. In the end, it was just bitter and I really did not enjoy it. I find myself not liking as many maduros anymore. The ccom brazilian is a big exception to that. There are others I like but recently I have not been impressed with the ones I have been smoking.
Smoking a cigar i got at a small boutique in Reno called Hatuey. It's their maduro torpedo. Very good smoke! Smooth, sweet, very cedary. They cultivate, grow, blend and roll all of their own stuff. I got a few others, if those are good i'll go back and bomb some out to some lucky folks.
Last night I had an RP Sun Grown at the RP event and it was as always a great smoke. It has been a long time since I have smoked one of these and it was great! Even better than I remembered. I'm going to have to pick up a few more of these to keep in the Humi!
