I can't even figure out what will go in the "smoking queue" humi. I'm just going to bag them all back up and think about it. Amazing.

The Hemingway needs some time, so put that one on the bottom for a while. Everything else should be pretty much good to go after a bit of rest.

That Hemingway won't even fit in the "smoking queue" humi! Now that you mention it, it does feel a bit dry, so I'll give it the love from my 70% tupperdor in the cool room. Based on the band, the 601 definitely looks like the Oscuro, it just doesn't seem as dark as a maduro. They carry 601 at one shop here, so I'll have to go check them out more closely.

Oh here we go.. just checked the United Tobacco website for EO Brands, and their photo of the 601 Black Label (Connecticut) is a spot-on match with what I have in my hand. Apparently a Connecticut wrapper grown in Ecuador, with a much more full body than a traditional Connecticut. The description sounds just like the ultra-tasty cigar I had last weekend, with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. I've never even seen this blend before. This will go in the smoking queue because I want to compare it with the local house blend Ecuadorian Connecticut.

When I finally got home, my wife came downstairs with the Boffo sampler and I said "nice box."

Enough, by god. Here it is, the last and final revision of the Boffo Birthday Order. This is it, I mean it! ("Anybody want a peanut?")

10 - Oliva Special S, Diadema
1 - Gran Habano VL (2005), Churchill, Maduro Box of 15
10 - Graycliff Original Release (1997), Coronas Especiales
10 - Rocky Patel Vintage 1992, Churchill
10 - Avo Domaine #30
12 - Gurkha Centurian
12 - Gurkha Royal Brigade
5 - Montecristo Media Noche No.3
10 - A. Fuente Don Carlos #3
5 - CAO L'Anniv. Cameroon Churchill
5 - Trinidad Corona
10 - Sol Cubano Sumatra Churchill
5 - Punch Gran Puro Pico Bonito

I threw in the Punches so kuzi would love me.

That gives me 7 cigars I've never tried -- GH, Royal Brigade, Monte, CAO, Trinidad, SC, Punch -- and all the others are cigars I've rated 9.0 or higher.

A post elsethread reminded me of all the thought Duty had put into this order, so I thought I'd give an update on the cigars in it that I'd never tried before. (Apparently you can't do an html unstructured list here, so this'll be a bit ugly.)

Gran Habano VL (2005), Churchill -- 8.75. I've only had one, but it seems to be a rich, cool smoke.

Gurkha Royal Brigade -- 9.0. Again, I've only had one, but it was very promising.

Montecristo Media Noche No.3 -- 9.1. I actually haven't had one of these yet, but I had the ultra-magnum size the other night, and it was terrific.

CAO L'Anniv. Cameroon Churchill -- 8.5. This one was a bit of a letdown, to be honest. Maybe my opinion will improve as I smoke through the rest of them.

Trinidad Corona -- 8.75. Good flavor here; if there were just a bit more of it . . . We'll see what the rest are like.

Sol Cubano Sumatra Churchill -- 9.0. The barnyardiest cigar I've ever had, and also quite delicious.

Punch Gran Puro Pico Bonito -- 9.1. Kuzi was right about these guys.
