    It is very fun to say. I try to act like Samuel Jackson when I say it. He is the king of "Mother F#$%@#!"

    As long as this one made it back, my most expensive cigar that I ever bought ( and have yet to smoke ) is the Opus X Chateau de la Fuentes Rare Estate Reserve 1992. They were in a three pack for 99.00. I was feeling like picking up some good sticks that day, and now I am waiting for the special occasion(s) to light 'em up. Probably some time when the weather gets warmer, I hope they are worth it, but by then I won't think about the price paid. But I don't think they will make it into regular rotation.

    The Opus X Chateau de la Fuentes Rare Estate Reserve 1992 is very nice, you wont be disappointed. I recently was given a Gurkha His Majesty's Reserve, which msrp is around 750.00 I hear..undoubtably 1 of the most amazing cigars but no cigar is worth that, but it sure added to the occassion, and made it all the more special.

    WOW, you are the first person I've seen on here that has actually tired an HMR! I bet it is a great smoke and I would love to have a few, but no chance in hell I'd pay what they ask for them.

    A very generous friend that has HMRs to share.. They were on a clearance sale here not long ago, still to much for just one smoke. There are so many others I enjoy that I could buy boxes of for the same price..

    I dropped 32 on an Opus X and wondered why. I dropped 25 on the Ahston ESG, and still wonder why. Dropped 5 on Rocky Patel 10 year and it beat the X and ESG, go figure I guess it is all in what you expect and like in a cigar, just like beer I cannot figure out why anyone would drink a $2 glass of Bud at a bar when for another $1.50 they could be drinking a Fat Tire, go fig. Now the 12 to 14 I spend on the Diamond Crown Maximus, well worth every penny and then some.

    I think the term 10 year is used for the Vintage 1992. Or maybe the ITC 10 year ?.

    Uhh, crap now I forgot, maybe it was the RP Edge. Guess that is what I get for not smoking the same thing over and over, I tend to jump from one maker to the next, currently my favorite is CAO, before that Rocky, then Perdomo, the Padron, then I mix in the Diamond Crowns, Ashtons, La Glorias. Cigar smoking is the one time I let my brain run rampant, footloose, and carefree when it comes to making a decision. I do know I was not overly thrilled with the ESG or X, the day after I had the X I had the RP Edge and thought it was just as good. Sorry for the confusion guess I beter go have a cigar, just cannot figure out which one, crap.

    Well let me see, in one word it was perfect. Great draw, long even burn, so smooth it was outrageous. I cant explain flavor it was very complex, a lot going on. If i could piss money away i would smoke nothing else, nothing comes close to it. I can tell you this tho, i dont care what you do, how much you make, you absolutely need to try at some point in your life. Beware its not for a casual smoker obviously, its for the seasoned vet. Good smoking fellas.

    edit-wrong thread.
  • JosephkalishJosephkalish Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 16
    I bought the Oliva v maduro and a MB 3 about 6 weeks ago. I was extremely disappointed with the MB 3 but very please with the V. Draw was tight tho, I agree. I won't smoke again because of the draw.
  • j0z3rj0z3r Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 9,403
    I thought the MB3 was good myself, it was a while ago though and I would like to try it again to see how I like it now. For some reason I thought this was the "whatcha smokin" thread when I posted that, hence the removed comment.
  • bbc020bbc020 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 1,422
    I really enjoyed the MB 3 robusto I've had.
  • JosephkalishJosephkalish Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 16
    Yea i heard great about it, and its an attractive stick but just didn't do it for me. Its not cheap either.

    Hey guys!  Rich, I want a detailed review of the VSG's.  Alex gifted me one a couple years back, still haven't smoked it.  I really should.

    Anywho, saw a comment about $5 RP Decades and where you can find them.  Why here of course!  Shoot me an email and I'll hook you up!

    Remember guys, I can make miracles happen.  Always give me a chance first.  99% of the time I'll make you a happy customer.  The other 1% it's Alex's fault.

    I have to revive this old thread because I just paid more than ever before on a cigar. I just ordered 2 of the Don Arturo Gran Aniverxario Sun Grown at $60 a piece. I want to try these before you can't get them. I also ordered 2 of the Don Arturo Gran Aniverxario Natural at $45 each.

    You'll have to let us know if it was worth it...
