Can anyone say slippery slope? I wish I could limit myself to a small humidor, I really do wish I had the self control to do that.
The slope is not slippery, it solid ice and is closer to a cliff than a slope. I went from a 50 ct humi to a 3 humis and a wine fridge in less than 6 months. Self control is not something I normally lack but cigars hmmmm, well those aren't something I lack either .

HA! Sounds like me. I started with a 20 count ccom humidor and a Rocky Patel sampler. A mere 7 months later I have the same 20 count, 2 250 count and a 120 quart coolerdor for box storage... I've even gone from passive to active humidification, and let me tell ya right now madurofan, you were right all along about the Cigar Oasis, that little thing rocks like nobody's business. And needless to say I've got enough cigars to last through the next ice age.

See once you get started on the Oasis' there is no going back.
Hey duty.. I think that if you liked the 1990 you will really enjoy the 1992. The '92 is more full bodied
has a richer taste and a lot more flavor going on, this because of the Ecuadorian wrapper. I have found that most often I prefer cigars with the Ecuador wrapper because of the wonderful flavor profile they provide. I will always light the '92 if given the choice..These are two cigars that I always keep on hand and you will not be disappointed with the '92, I like the robusto size but the Torpedo really gets some rave reviews..
I had one of the 1990's over the weekend, and found I prefer the 1992, as well, for all the reasons already mentioned -- more flavor being the main one.
i always try ands smoke this cigar in the fall. ive never been disapointed by it either. I wonder what their next corojo vintageis gunna be or if their corojo vintage line is gone when the 97 is.
Tonight we went over to the neighbor's place for some swimming and BBQ. He's apparently a hot-shot BBQ chef, and wanted to get a practice run on his recipe for this year's Charlotte contest. Good stuff. I brought along a 5 Vegas Classic Torpedo. This is the first time I've had this shape, although I've had many 5 Vegas Classic in the past (usually the Churchill). The flavor was quite standard and familiar. I still don't see how this cigar grabbed a big rating from a snooty, pretentious cigar rag, but its right up my alley for a classic, reliable, low-attention smoke. Low in body, fine in flavor, and low-maintenance all the way. Interestingly, the draw was a tad loose, even though the burn was still long. I've never known a torpedo to draw loose, although I admittedly have smoked few of them.
That's been my experience kuzi. Generally I'll make my first cut on a torpedo so that I have roughly a 1/4 inch diameter cut to draw from and that usually works for me, occasionally I'll have to cut a bit more.
Let the Bolivar age. I had the same experience so I let them sit awhile. They have been resting 6 months and are starting to open a little. My guess is that these are going to be very good in another 6 months.
