    Thats my plan - I have another toro plus the perfecto from the COTM. If anyone wants to trade for them, I would be willing to move them. Then again, just might be a flavor profile that's not for me.

    Everyone can't be a winner..I'm sure somebody likes them well enough to trade for them. If not let them rest and try again. I had the same experience with the Rocky Patel Connecticut. Just didn't hit me. And Punch cigars. One bad day and I didn't smoke another for years.

    Hmm.. I've got a Matasa 30th Anniv. Toro sitting in the tupperdor right now. I think I'll leave it out of the smoking queue for quite some time based on what's here. I'm not part of COTM, but they do seem to be patterning their offerings off my meager inventory. First the Bolivar, now this.. they're following me!

    Okay, Time to be JEALOUS of me! So After giving up on Cleveland Mississippi My colleague and I took a trip to Memphis Yesterday. We stopped by a small B&M in the mall to see what they had. She told us the Other Tinderbox they owned was having a tasting. So OFF we went. Only to Find that PERDOMO was there. They are in the process of releasing a NEW line that doesn't release until September called the Patriarch. WONDERFUL Cigar. I got a box of them, and due to that purchase I Got a FREE yes, I used the F word FRREEE Vector Triple Flame Thundra Tabletop Lighter. Then The Perdomo Rep hooked me up with a sampler of thier UN released 10th anniversary cigars with the stipulation I write back and tell him what I think. After the Patriarch which is a Nicauraguan (Sp?) Puro with a Corojo wrapper, I had a Maduro Limitada from Perdomo. All of this mind you FREE. So, not such a bad trip after all. Now I just gotta fit all this free stuff into my Carry-on.

    Yea I sign up for the local B&M here. He does really nice events they're usually cheap or free but you always get your money's worth. He had a San Cristobal event not too long ago. $10 got you a San Cristobal perfecto($15 stick) scotch and chocolate.

    yeah none of my shops do this =( sad day for me
  • madurofanmadurofan Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 6,152
    No tastings? The shops typically don't put them on themselves a sales rep from the company puts them on in the shop.
  • DiasFlakDiasFlak Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 342
    ill double check but so far i have yet to hear anything about this

    Scrambler:
    Oh, yeah. I almost forgot, the $10 bucks includes food & drinks too. This time they are serving Wild Turkey American Honey.
    i have some of this at home, it pairs very well with a spicy cigar.
    Scrambler:
    unfortunately, she was just there to sign pictures, not available for tasting
    LMAO ... you should've asked, you never know ....

    The free cigars, drinks, and mini wieners would be a bonus !
    Thanks for the setup. You should have at least told Scrambler you were planning to attend.

    Har- Dee- Har-Har, I warn people all the time, about wording things carefully and yet I fell into my own trap. Good one.

    That was such a slam dunk I thought for sure you did it on purpose. My family likes to set that stuff up all the time... when they get on a roll, our family reunions look like a 6-court tennis tournament.

    Hey joe, I have four brothers and all of them are very witty. Imagine what family get togethers are like at our houses. It can go on for hours. Bad thing none of them smoke cigars, Maybe they were adopted, I'll ask mom. ( I am her favorite )

    Had a Padilla 1968 today. First one and it was excellent. Tonight was a Perdomo Lot 23. Really enjoy this smoke.
  • dutyjedutyje Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 2,263
    All this talk about the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, and I couldn't resist pulling out the RP '92 Churchill that I managed to keep my hands off for nearly a month. So tasty. I love this cigar.

    today was a 5 vegas classic. Ive been recomending it so much that i had to smoke one.

    Just finished off the Gurkha Symphony from the 5 for 5 Sampler. Not bad at all. It was especially good with a cold glass of tea after a good day's work. The only bad thing is it was the last stick I had, and won't be getting anymore for another week. At least I have a steady income now though, which means I can start stocking up.
  • dutyjedutyje Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 2,263
    Nice, Matt -- soon you'll be like me and sitting on a stack of tupperdors! I've still just got the one small box, which I keep a rotating stock in as my "smoking queue"... the others just pass the time in tupperware.

    Tonight was a Sherpa for me. My first one left me a bit unimpressed, however, with a bit of rest on them this, my second one, was much better. While still not a stellar cigar, it is good for what it is and I'll certainly come back to it.
  • ScramblerScrambler Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 746
    I decided to go with the Savinelli ELR. These must have been sitting around in the back at my tobacconists for a while, since the cellophane is a bit yellowed. I just lit it up, but I'm impressed so far. Thanks for the heads up on these, DiasFlak.
