Thats my plan - I have another toro plus the perfecto from the COTM. If anyone wants to trade for them, I would be willing to move them. Then again, just might be a flavor profile that's not for me.

Everyone can't be a winner..I'm sure somebody likes them well enough to trade for them. If not let them rest and try again. I had the same experience with the Rocky Patel Connecticut. Just didn't hit me. And Punch cigars. One bad day and I didn't smoke another for years.

Hmm.. I've got a Matasa 30th Anniv. Toro sitting in the tupperdor right now. I think I'll leave it out of the smoking queue for quite some time based on what's here. I'm not part of COTM, but they do seem to be patterning their offerings off my meager inventory. First the Bolivar, now this.. they're following me!

There is not a single moment in your life when you do not have everything that you need to be happy.

Let me preface this post by just saying WOW!

I just finished a La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet #1 and it was hands down the best cigar I've had to date, 90 minutes of pure bliss. I am really at a loss for words, so a description would be difficult. Suffice to say that I could smoke this one cigar every day for the rest of my life and die happy.

I lit up the RP Decade lonsdale about 2 hours ago. The first inch or so was rather bland, but after that it developed pretty nicely. The construction is excellent, burn has been very even. It did put itself out a couple times, but relighting didn't seem to affect smokability at all. It's definitely a good cigar, but I won't make a habit of paying $11 for it.

Edit: the cigar put itself out again with 2 inches left, for a total of 4 times. This last time was within 30 seconds or so of a puff. 90% humidity probably has something to do with it though.

Okay, Time to be JEALOUS of me! So After giving up on Cleveland Mississippi My colleague and I took a trip to Memphis Yesterday. We stopped by a small B&M in the mall to see what they had. She told us the Other Tinderbox they owned was having a tasting. So OFF we went. Only to Find that PERDOMO was there. They are in the process of releasing a NEW line that doesn't release until September called the Patriarch. WONDERFUL Cigar. I got a box of them, and due to that purchase I Got a FREE yes, I used the F word FRREEE Vector Triple Flame Thundra Tabletop Lighter. Then The Perdomo Rep hooked me up with a sampler of thier UN released 10th anniversary cigars with the stipulation I write back and tell him what I think. After the Patriarch which is a Nicauraguan (Sp?) Puro with a Corojo wrapper, I had a Maduro Limitada from Perdomo. All of this mind you FREE. So, not such a bad trip after all. Now I just gotta fit all this free stuff into my Carry-on.

Holy C***, Nice score there Wil. How can others find out about cigar tastings in there own area. I never hear this stuff.

Seriously nice score, wilbr.

Kas, best way is to sign up for the mail/email list at all the local B&Ms. The one I frequent most is having a Zino tasting tonight, unfortunately I'll be at work. The ones there cost $10 to get in, but you get at least 1 free cigar and a $10 gift certificate, so its not bad.

Yea I sign up for the local B&M here. He does really nice events they're usually cheap or free but you always get your money's worth. He had a San Cristobal event not too long ago. $10 got you a San Cristobal perfecto($15 stick) scotch and chocolate.

No tastings? The shops typically don't put them on themselves a sales rep from the company puts them on in the shop.

Oh, yeah. I almost forgot, the $10 bucks includes food & drinks too. This time they are serving Wild Turkey American Honey.

Last month the shop here had a tasting for the new Playboy cigars, complete with a Playmate (unfortunately, she was just there to sign pictures, not available for tasting). In 2 weeks they are doing the La Flor Dominicana Ligero.

Because of my work schedule I haven't been able to make it to any of them...
