I bought a box of them about 2 years ago. After the first few did not blow me away I buried them until recently. Maybe it was a fluke but the big sleep did wonders.Quote:

I've been eyeing the Reconquista's for a minute now & finally pulled the trigger. I'm hoping to enjoy them & buying boxes will definitely allow me to enjoy some aged cigars. And I was unemployed or underemployed, for the past 5 hrs, up until 7 months ago. So buying boxes was out of the question. Plus, as I'm sure you may have experienced, storage space!Quote:

I am way more into long time aging now. Not to mention my lust for CC's. I do miss having a random box of something show up in my mailbox several times a week though.Quote:

Thx for the advice!Quote:

Less of a purchase, more of a gift for our 10 year anniversary. My wife, with the help of a very nice B&M owner, picked them all. There was also a SOA Prospect that did not survive to be photographed.
I'm specially looking forward to the Man O War Dark Aged Maduro. Hopefully I don't like them too much, as they seem to be a B&M only stick and I was unable to find any using a quick search last night.
Congrats on the anniversary & a Mrs that will buy you cigars!!Quote:

I just ordered a fiver of the LA Gloria Cubana Series R Maddy #5. Didn't see the Belicoso, but I hope the #5 is as good. Just a perfect maduro smoke. It needs to be about 17" long as I shed a tear when it gave up the ghost....
a Refill of 50 Padron Hammers .... yea that was a costly one haha :censored: pics to come when they get sent!
Just got in:
Padron Ambassador Naturals
Ave Maria Clermonts
Perdomo 10th Ann. Champagnes
Alec Bradley Sampler
Oliva Serie V Sampler
Love those Champagnes!Quote:

I also grabbed 4 Opus X Perfecxion #4 and the owner gave me 10% off on those also. Still stocking up on short winter smokes.
A box of Anejo 46 and a bunch of MBIII from Holt's. Thanks to @AlanS for being an enabler. If you love the MBIII (which I sure do) you won't beat holt's price on 6ers.
