In the early 1990s, I'd buy 6-8 boxes of (Miami made) La Gloria Wavells at a time so you can rest assured that I complained bitterly when they jacked the price to $1.35 a stick (from $1.25) and boxes from $25.00 to $27.00! Outrageous!Quote:

It didn't canoe but it did develop two burn spots above the burn line and a there was a good sized hole in the wrapper that's usually picked up by QC. Very much a cheap cigar except for brand and price paid (unusual for R&J).
From the same humidor, and speaking of La Gloria, I'm smoking a 2005 La Gloria Corono Gorda and I'm no longer in Cigar Bizarro World :). The band artwork has always been very kewl too.
I think that is a Holt's exclusive. I have seen them in the Holt's catalog.Quote:

2013 Macanudo Hyde Park. Not sure what happened this AM but this stick is fine. The positive is that I've smoked up 2 bad sticks and they're not in my futures. Iced Diet Coke with Willie and Lobo.
Robbie Levine of Holt's is a class guy and he (and his guys) know cigars. I've found most of their private labels to be decent smokes and I've got nothing but good things to say about them even if I went over to the Dark Side at the Devil Sight (where you can see the devil and he can see you!).
Spectacular day here, hope it is for you folks as well.
Murcialego Toro with some Four Roses Single Barrel. Really nice pair...
This one was quick and tasty. (Which is what my girlfriend used to say about me back in college.)

The investment property went through the planning and zoning boards this week. Today I received a letter of intent to sue from the neighbors. Good thing it's Friday!

Yep...40 sumptin' years ago I was a lot less ambiguous than I am now. But dammit', it's not a lack of trying...Quote:
