Good deal, looks like you know my tastes then, lol. Nice set-up btw, and nice wheel-gun there. What make is that?
S&W Model 617-0.
Is that the 10-shot 22LR one?
No, the "dash zero" was the first production, it's six rounds. I think the ten round (with alloy cylinder) started around the -5 or -6 if I'm not mistaken. It's a great target gun, very heavy and about a two pound trigger pull on single action.
wow, some great pics their wheelie. A lot of fuente and GOF... like the coffin's and gurkha barber pole, what cigar is that? the only cigar like that I know of comes in a sampler of sorts..
That's the one it is. It's called the Enigma. I haven't found them sold seperately. Gonna try it soon. Have about 3 months of age on it.
Okay yeah found the pack it comes in. btw have you had the master select? I'm torn between the maduro or regular. wondering if I should get both or not. sort of only want to buy 1. btw you have mail wheelie..
The only Master Selects I have had are the Robusto and the 6 X 60. I only had one robusto and it was good not great but good. I had two of the 6 X 60's. The first one was better than the last. I think that the cigar is to mellow for me, but that might not be the correct assessment. Maybe not mellow but lacked in flavor or didn't have as much flavor as the last. Something like that. I have 3 more of that size aging. I didn't know they came in regular and maduro. Hrm... I'll have to look into that.
I have even more that is not shown in the pics. I have three tuperware full plus about 10 bags of stuff. All of my Ashtons are in bags, the Grand Reserve, Platinum Reserve, Royal Reserve, Corniche, all my Padillas, Nubs, Partagas Serie S,5 Vegas, Gurkha GK, Elegence, Black Puro, Doble Maduro, Fuerte, Symphony, Gold, Signature 101, Olivas, and I can't remember what else. I really need to smoke my inventory down so I can put the stuff in bags in a humidor.
well I went ahead and ordered both and some legends.
Man.. all these pics have helped me realize how much of a lower-tier smoker I am. You all seem to have huge stocks of super-premiums. Even my standard for "super-premium" seems to be quite a bit lower than the rest of you. If I want to treat myself to something "special" I'll reach for an RP 92. Most of the time, I'm trying new stuff, and it's usually in the $2-6 range. My "splurge" cigars will be in the $8-12 range. Excluding Gurkhas, I just don't have any cigars above $15 MSRP.
Not that I'm at all dissatisfied with my collection.. I'm just too new at this to be dropping the coin for the expensive stuff until I've tasted all the rest... and I have a hard time justifying the pickup of any ultra-premiums when I am so satisfied with average-priced cigars. I'm a Schlitz drinker, after all

With that being said, these are my "trying new stuff" phase. That is why I have such huges amounts. Once I am done experimenting, I will probably just keep a few brands in my rotation with the occasional super premium. I like the regular Fuente and Hemingways a lot. If you search, you can get boxes of hemingways for ~$130. The Gurkha Shaggy, if you buy a box is around $6.20. So, Partagas, Shaggy, Fuente and maybe the RP 92 would be regulars in my collection.
Well, that's another thing... I never buy boxes. I have no need for that many of a single cigar when I'm still trying stuff. I stick to samplers and singles. Many of my purchases are singles from the local shop.

I don't buy boxes to often. The last few boxes I bought were because I wanted to experiment with aging, price was really good or it is something that really really like. I bought a box of Demitasse because they are a nice small and quick smoke for those short drives and it was cheap. I bought a box of the Shaggys because it is one of my favorite. I bought a box of the Warlords and Grand Age because I like them but want to experiment with serious aging. Oh, and I bought boxes of the GoF because I really like Fuente and at the time you could not get singles unless you got the Coffins.
I'm picky about what $$ cigars I get. I've been disappointed with a lot of spendy cigars. I do love the GOF's and hope I like the opus-x's haven't had any yet but I am stocked.

Have one. If you like a strong full bodied smoke OpusX is it. I am not a fan but I am giving them another show after I do some serious aging.

I'm letting them all sit until dec or so. that will give them at least a year before a Light one up.

I hear ya. Hard to do isn't it? Don't you just want to smoke one?
The Don Carlos is a great smoke! I've still got a #2 and a couple Hemmingways from the event I went to several months ago. I have a couple Opus X in the humi too. I can't wait to try one but they are so hard to come by in the local shops I have to hold onto them until I can replace them.

If I were a betting man I would say you will love them...they are good
