I got a nice package from Mustluvcigars on Saturday from the Fun and Games thread.. It included two of the new 5 VegasLimitada 2009s along with a Casa Magna, a Defiance Akar, and a Pepin Cuban Classic.. All of these are new to me and I am anxious to try them after they take a little nap in my humidor. So who knows why the Defiance has a " Do Not Remove " notice on the band ? Or, is that where the Defiant act comes into play ..Thanks to Mustluv for the generous gift.

Thats exactly it, once you remove the band, it says, "Don't always do what you're told, eh?"

I got the hat as well and some stickers I think.

I got my mystery sticks package from robert69165 today. Two bonus Alec Bradley Tempus perfectos to boot. Good damn trader in my book!

I haven't had a chance to try the Tempus yet. Let me know your thoughts Maddy.

The Tempus is great, but I am pretty partial to all the Alec Bradleys I have had so far.

I have one of the Tempus Torpedos as well. I was completely dissappointed in the Alec Bradley Maxx, I thought any flavor there was watered down but the Tempus I've been interested in. I really want to try a Pryme but like so many other cigars, who knows when I'd get to that.

I liked the Maxx, although it is my least favorite AB. You definately need to try the Pryme, it is my favorite AB and one of my favorite cigars period.

Jeez, mustluvcigars blew me away with his part on the Movie pass. Camacho Triple Maduro, Montecristo Media Noche, and an RP Spring collection (along with a few others)! Man, I haven't even seen an RP Spring Collection anywhere near where I'm at. You're the man mustluv!

I've heard the first step is admitting that you have a problem. Thankfully, I don't have a problem. I'll just smoke more.

I wanted to like the Pryme, but it fell a little short of what I expected. Not a bad cigar, but not my favorite AB either.

Well, got my mystery sticks in from Maddy today, and he threw in three bonus sticks. First was one of the new Nub Maduros, and believe it or not, I am actually looking forward to it. I haven't been a fan of any of the Nubs Ihave tried so far, but all the descriptions I have read about the maduro sound like it will be right up my alley. Then there is a CAO I haven't seen before, a CAO Habano. I am pretty excited to try it as well, I dig most of the CAO's I have tried. And rounding it out was a Punch Champion, yet another stick I haven't tried yet.

Three for three Maddy, nice shootin'. Retaliation will be slow and deliberate, resulting in maximum collateral damage.

The CAO Habano is an exclusive to my local B&M. I imagine you;ve heard about CAO's aging room in Tennessee where they keep their limited run cigars. Anyways the owner of my local B&M bought this entire line and designed the band and all. You'll never find that cigar any where else, and she's pricey but I dig it.

No retaliation necessary it was just a little hand grenade for an excellent BOTL.

Got my PIF package from Brandon (bbc020). Got a couple I've been wanting to try like a 1495 Cameroon and a La Herencia, along with some I know I like Oliva G, Camacho 1962 and 5 Vegas A. Thanks man, great choices all around!
