    Someon sent me an Erin Go Brah though which after reading a little about it I'm looking forward to it.
    Just from me to you, I wouldn't get my hopes too high if I were you...IMO, they taste pretty...what's that word? oh, Not Good At All!! Though they do leave a pleasant sweetness on the lips...that's about the only good thing I can say.
    Damn. I was hoping.
    To take into account what phobic said, I wouldn't say don't try one based on my account of it. You may very well like it, I'm not a fan of infused cigars at all so I'm biased.

    The Erin go Bragh is a La Aurora product which has many fine offerings. The Classic is mild and very pleasing, the 1495/1994 Cameroon for those that like a bit of a kick, and the Anos for a real taste treat. I just don't think it is the best example of what La Aurora has to offer. Irish Whisky or not.

    back on topic... Kuzi, Wheelie, any of you have the Status yet? I just ordered 2 wondering if it was a waste of money or not...
    I haven't found the Status yet. Haven't been looking too hard though.

    As I said earlier, I would try a Titan and Titan II. I like both. They taste kind of similar. The Titan had burn problems till the last two inches. But that was the only problem. The Titan II had burn problems also but fixed itself. The last two inches I had some tar buildup so I cut the end off. I usually use a punch so that was easily fixed. I think I like the II better now that it has a few months of age to it.

    Definitely the Beauty so far. It was m celebration smoke after the Cardinals game last night. It burned perfect. I smoked it until I couldn't hold it anymore. Fantastic through and through.

    I had a poker game last night and had a beauty (among 4 other cigars) and though i enjoy this cigar, i have a hard time justifying the price tag.. it needs to drop some..

    The Beauty's have dropped a few dollars but they definately need to come down more. Would love to see a deal like the Beast and Titan. 5 for $30. Even the Centurion had a deal like that a while ago. 6 for like $30.

    They did have a deal on the Beauties back in November I think, the same as the Titan deal if I remember correctly.

    I picked up a sampler of 10 Gurkhas for about 30 bucks. They're 52 X 5.75, so it's a little on the small side, but it's a chance to try their super-premiums.

    Heh. Happy to have been of help, maddy.

    I'm selling my wine fridge and going on a cigar buying hiatus to save up some so that I can buy a cabinet. I don't know that I'm going to get one quite as big as yours but I want a cabinet.

    I've seen some that are both cigar and wine storage. If the missus is a wine aficionado . . .

    No need to show her, you're single, just go buy a cabinet, as Urbi did.

    I cut my cigar budget to around $100 a month not including the cotm club. Unless something super duper special comes I have to keep to it. Besides, if I buy a cabinet then I need to get one of the electric humidication devices. A nice cabinet costs what like $700 or more? Plus how much for the electronic device? Another ~$100? Then I need to get tons of boxes to put all my singles in. I need to play it safe for a while. I really need to get out of my house and get my own. I'm about to explode living with my parents.

    Indeed. Concentrate on that first, you need your own house to have a cabinet humidor in.
