I'm in the camp of one ROTT or as soon as I can get to smoking it for a baseline. That is just me though.Quote:

I still need to track down and try a few of those. I love the Dirty Rat, so I'm sure these would be great as well.Quote:

San Cristobal Revelation, bcs I always like to buy cigars I've never tried before when I'm at a B&M
Is that a new CAO release?Quote:

They released them last year to get ahead of the FDA regulations. The original release was a long time ago as a promo when, if I remember correctly, Jon Huber of crowned heads worked for CAO. I have yet to try the one I bought last year.Quote:

The cigar shop I got it told me it was originally released in 2010...But didn't have any other info. I've never seen it before. It's a nice box press maduro CAO...Pretty good, smoking it right now.Quote:

A bunch of companies did that last year. Some to major retailers and some to specific shops or regions.Quote:

Glad to hear it's good. I'll have to try mine soon.

Do I need to send you a few more 8x80s to keep him busy? Might keep him out of the good stuff.Quote:

Will be initerested in seeing opinions of the"New" Vegas Cubanas.
I never had the original, so I don't know. I paid $8.10 for this in NY so it's probably $6.50 in the free world. It was very good like most everything from My Father's. I'll definitely get more.Quote:

A box of Don Francisco Maduro robustos and they are delicious. It's been a few years since I've had one but remember them to be a favorite and can't believe I haven't ordered more of them over the years. Too many cigars to try I guess and I'm trying to whittle my list of favorites down to 25 from 50. Keeps me in the poor house and wish I could just have 5 favorites but that's not happening.
Thanks Tony,Quote:

Rather than focusing on how closely they match the earlier Vegas Cubanas. Too much time has passed to believe the memory of the original V.C. can be all that accurate. Will still be trying to that tho.
Edit: The N.Y. Tax bit is insane.
Made a detour by the cigar shop on my way home from work.
