Huey, your sticks were delivered at 9:27 this morning. Just in time for the weekend. Hope you enjoy!

Awesome, just about to head home and then out to the lake for the weekend so I'll be lighting one (or more) up for sure!

Can't get the pic to work

Thanks UnderoosAg!!!

Got them, Thanks! A couple that I've really been wanting to try in there. Only one that I've smoked before is the oliva serie v melanio maduro and it was one if my all time favorites. Can't wait to light up.

BCOBQ98,

Just a heads up, your source needs to check his humi. Was going to smoke the Olivia Melania this eve, but the wrapper was flaking off the foot up the side. Going to let it sit for a few months to see if it lessens some.

Might be location in humi if a large one.

Got them from McCoy's in houston and they were in the mail the next day. It is a big humidor so maybe that was it. I've not had issues with others from him. Sorry about that!

I'm smokin 3/4 from the exchange right now.

Got a hookup in the mail from PhiAggie today. Thank you, sir, some very good looking smokes in the group. Will light in to them after giving them a few days rest in the humidor.

Got snow in the forecast for tomorrow night so it's not looking to cigar-y until next week anyway.

Just smoked the Perdomo Habano Bourbon barrel aged sungrown and wow. I've had the sun grown before but this one takes the cake. Thank you for the rest too! Can't wait to smoke them and grill this weekend

TheVarian,

Perdermo has come a LONG way from 10 years ago. Most of that was dog rockets, but a year or so ago I noticed a thick oily stick that smelled great and was surprised at the logo/brand. I bought a 7 buck stick on a whim and was surprised. Very much so. Then bought another and is was meh. I am hoping the quality gets more consistent, cause that one was really good.

Got one in the humi now, that I have been wanting to smoke but find the time to give it a fair shake.

Maverick2076,

You smoked that AJ New World yet? That is the $5.50 stick I threw in as a bonus.. You should have gotten a list with pricing. The label clearly says New World.

I want a second opinion. I had one or two that were really good for the price. box pressed.

Let me know.

Gonna throw this out for the "passers" that are a little older like me. While you are sitting out back, having a smoke and a drink, put on Pandora and set up an "America"(the band) station. Some great, great relaxing music with some great old bands to listen to while you smoke/drink and get all mellow.

Maybe some of you younger guys ought to also. America, Bread, Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce,,etc Good cigar stuff there.

As I wrote this, this was playing:

King Harvest- Dancing in the Moonlight
BW Stevenson: My Maria (Diamond Rio Original song)
Elton John (not a fan, but this song) Rocket Man.

Another good one is Jerry Jeff Station, but once loaded, it never hardly plays him

A-HA! So you're the other one in downtown Houston. I stopped in the same shop and the guy started laughing talking about how somebody else was just in there earlier this week asking for the same stuff.

Would not let me edit. Diamond Rio copied BW Stevenson.

You misspelled Brooks & Dunn.

Yep, that was epic. HTF did I do THAT? Beer? or bad memory.

I actually haven't had a cigar for a few weeks. I've been prepping for an APFT this coming Thursday, so I haven't smoked a cigar in a few weeks. That'll be the first one I have after Thursday though!

For us that don't have a humidor, what is best way to store cigars?

Air tight Tupperware with a Boveda pack. I used a tupperdore for a year or so until I bought my wineador

Smoked the Joya De Nicaragua Cabinetta yesterday and really enjoyed it. Started out mild and slightly sweet and stayed that way until the wrapper changed and it got even sweeter and kind of spicy. Good smoke output and it stayed cool and tasty right down to the nub. This is definitely a cigar I would buy again and is a good contrast to the more full bodied cigars I typically smoke.

I'm hoping I don't come back from the mailbox empty-handed again today. Y'all are making me jealous!!

The Yeti box this came in should have been a dead giveaway. I'll be wearing the hat for sure, thanks EyeGuy! I haven't smoked any of these cigars before, although I do think I have something that will pair very well with the Hammer and Sickle.......

I have smoked all of the others before.. That one was a bit of a flyer but looked interesting. Let me know! Thought I still had a few cubans in the humidor, but apparently I need to order more.

I've been wanting to try the hammer and sickle

Still waiting on my cigar pass buddy's shipment. Like a kid waiting on Christmas.

dr_boogs - yours should be there tomorrow if not in the box today!

Sorry for the delay but I haven't had a chance to announce that they're finally here! Thankfully, you can't count too good.

Question, how long does the doohickey in the bag keep everything at 'humidor' conditions? Will it be good til Memorial Day if the'yre sealed shut and kept in the dark-ish envelope you sent them in?
