Just finished my second Don Carlos from j0z3r. The first one was decent, but I don't think I let it rest long enough after shipping. This one was fantastic. Not the most complex smoke, but damn tasty. I'm definitely glad I have a box on the way.
Oh wow it split and unraveled, shitty! The RP is loaded with flavor, IMHO, so I must've just sent you a bad stick. I have a habit of sending bad sticks, a couple I've sent to kuz and now this one to you! SHITTY!

Yeah, it seems the DC just needs several months of sleep before they should be smoked, takes a while for them to settle in. Certainly a good cigar and one I plan to keep around.

i would say a year is good for the don carlos. even then the power was a bit much even for this strong cigar lover.
Well this is my friday guys, I'm outta here in about 15 minutes or so and having a little vacation. Have 5 days off and I'm heading to the lake to drink and smoke and hang out with the guys around a fire each night. Not sure what all I'll smoke, or drink for that matter, but I'll keep everyone posted.
I made some purchases today. I got 5 of the Gurkha Royal Salute, another box of La Aurora 1495 1994 and about 2 each size of the Nub Cameroon. I gotta cancel that damn credit card!
Good golly. If when the 1495 1994's are all sold out, I decide I'd like one, I'll know to just come on this board and ask for a trade, cuz the people here are the ones who bought them all.
I'm up to 5 1/2 boxes now. Holy crap, no wonder my credit card is maxed.
I was tossing around the idea of sniping you on that last auction for boxes When it came end time, I just didn't feel like I needed more at the moment. I'm up around 54 myself, which is four over my target, so I'll keep an eye on the auctions, but I'm done going all out for these babies.

Four more wouldn't put me over my target. You know. If anybody's wondering.
Today was a somewhat disappointing cigar day, I'm pretty much 0 for 3 on the day. I tried to sit down with a La Aurora second in the Churchill size, but soon found that the draw was way too tight and it tasted like nothing at all, I ended up tossing that one. So, a little later on I grabbed a Legends Red label (Perdomo) only to find that this too had a tighter-than-desirable draw, though the flavor was exceptional. Fast forward a bit, and I had grabbed a Camacho Havana H3 to sample...the wrapper exploded when I snipped it, and it just didn't have a good flavor...not unlike the first H2 I had, and that one took a few months to settle into a nice balance.
More info on that last one, por favor. How old was the one you sent me?
