Dude Love:

I smoked a Macanudo Gold Label that my brother gave me while we were out grilling steaks. BLEH. Tasted like a Swisher Sweet.

...it is the thought that counts..did you give him one of your better cigars to show him what he is missing , and give him an example of what you like ? I had one and it reminded me of oatmeal.. A bit mild for my taste, but better than a swisher for sure.

Smoking a Montecristo #2 that I got while in Jamaica.  Brought back several.  Can't wait to light it up!  

went to the local b&m today and picked up a nub conn torp and a cameroon torp ....never had one and very interested to see what their all about

I had a Reserva Miraflor, This came from one of you fine gentlemen in one of the.games. This was really a good cigar. It drew just the way I like them to, had a tight ash that held on like a champ. nice even burn, had tastes of coffee, caramel, cocoa, and still peppery on the tongue. A very respectable cigar. Is this familiar to anyone ?

I had one of the new 5 Vegas Relics tonight, met up with fellow forum guy Leonard who happens to live about a hop, skip and a jump away from me to finalize a box split of said Relics. The cigar was pretty good, but what makes it even better is meeting a cool guy who you can talk cigars with while smoking one. I'm convinced this forum is full of awesome guys and tonight my conviction is a little more concrete. So to Leonard, thanks for the hospitality. To the rest of you guys, if you like 5 Vegas, try the Relic, you won't be disappointed.

didn't get to smoke one tonight , busy cleaning and refilling hot tub for this weekend ..yea baby!

Thanks Joe for the box split. The Relic is a tasty smoke. It sure is a small world. Its great to have a cool BOTL right around the corner. After they rest a few we'll have to try another.

You're welcome. That was in my make up PIF, the one that took so damn long to get out to you.

So I walked into the B&M yesterday just to smoke a stick and talk to the manager about the whole job possibility again. Well, low and behold they're having an event. I wasn't even aware but they're having a CAO LX2 event, 5 different LX2's, 2 raffle tickets, free food and drink for $30. SO of course I partake and shell out my $30. Well about 10 minutes after I get there I get a txt from Brandon(bbc) asking how late the B&M is open bc he is in town for the weekend. I tell him about the event and before long he's up there and gets in on the fun as well. All and all a good evening. Brandon seemed to enjoy as well, he grabbed quite a selection before we left the B&M.

He's got plenty of good ones, they were just the shortest we had, cuz it's still pretty cold in the garage.He had a few ISOMs but he smoked them a couple months before I moved in ><.

Well then, Thank you Maddy, that was one I would not have picked up on my own, and glad I had a chance to try.

Glad you liked it and thanks for the review, I haven't had a chance to try mine yet. Again I apologize for that PIF taking years to get to you.
