*** Misc CIGAR Crew ***V - Freak a Black Edition

[MrSilverback]

Will be leaving my college town for 2-3 months or so. Made sure to stop by my favorite local smoke shop there and buy a couple of my favorites (Flor de Las Antillas & Oliva G)...
I have never tried the Camacho Connecticut though. Any of you have anything to say on them?



Spent under $50 on all of them.

I'd be interested in hearing your input. I know Camachos are more known for their full bodied reputation. Curious to see how they do with a conn shade wrapper.

ERDM - CS on the drive home from work and it really wasn't to my taste.

Decided I'd better pull something that I knew would be good out and boy it did no dissapoint.



'91 Hoyo Epi 2 just absolutely outstanding.

After a few tatuajes hat didnt do much for me the last few months, I tried this thing. It was so damn good. Best thing Pete johnson has made IMO. It was like a chocolate bar. Strength was high though. NEVER smoke after an intense workout without eating. But I loved this.

yeah Avions are really good.

Well brahs, the Camacho Connecticut ended up being one of my favorite smokes thus far.



It was mostly smooth and creamy but there was a bit of pepper spice on the finish. Not an overwhelming spice but just right in my opinion. Later in the smoke about 1/3 way there I got some hints of citrus.. Definitely a solid medium-body smoke. I really enjoyed this smoke like previously mentioned. Surprisingly, i seemed to like it more than both the Flor De Las Antillas and the Oliva G which have been my solid favorites. It was just a great cigar in general.

Gents I am after a new vendor or two.

If anyone has a reliable vendor that ships (NCs and CCs) internationally, please share, probably via pm.

I have a few I use, but I want to try a few more.

Cheers BOTLs

I really tried to like this cigar....but it just didn't have anything to offer.

siglo II last night. only 5 left in my box, will be dissapoint when they are all gone.

I've run into a bit of an issue. my humidor is only now holding about 44%, which has dropped from 65 a few months ago. I have been rehydrating but it's gradually dropped. should I season it again? if so, where should I store my sticks for the time being?

Interesting. Might give them a go. I really liked their blackout series. Only problem is the price. They can be kinda steep.

Wonder how it compares to an Ashton Cabinet or maybe a RyJ Reserva Real. I do appreciate my mild smokes from time to time.

Beauty day yesterday with my main man + an '09 RyJ #2

Probably an issue with your hygro or the humidor seal. You could re-season, but it won't fix whatever caused it to drop down to 44%.


What are using for humidification?

just using a stock velcro-backed humidifier with distilled water. it's a low end set up, so I never bothered to get beads... but at this point, a tupperdor might be a better choice

^Thats your answer.

Great weekend all around. Laid new sod around the whole yard. Had a crew of 10 people so it only took 4 hours to lay a 1/2 acre.

Smoked a VSG later that night with my two boys. Life is good brahs.

New Sod


VSG - Still one of my favorites. Love the sun grown wrappers.


The boys. Lab/German Sheppard/Pit mix. Brothers from the same litter.

^^Very nice, TOBK.

This cigar ...was again not for me. I'll pass every time.

[darkninja67]

hey Les save yourself the trouble and just send me all of your Tat/Pepin stuff, jeez man.


Looking for a birthday cigar, thinking J21 of course and maybe a Padron 45th or 80th.

[Les Paul]

I had a Cojuna 2010 tor**** that was awesome. No joke. Smelled and tasted like a CC.

AF Don Carlos #3. Awesome. Sweet and spicy.

What's up fellas? Hope everyone is doing well. Congrats jqnmartinez!

Vacation was good. Although, you can't really get drunk on the Bourbon Trail unless you're supplementing with your own stash. Pretty strict rules governing how much they're allowed to let you sample and most make you sit through an hour long tour before you can sample. Which don't get me wrong, the tours were cool, but after a few they're mostly covering the same basics. Would be nice if they offer abridged tours for people that have already done a few. Lots of good sticks were smoked, but I don't have all my pics together yet so I'll have to post the pron later. My phone kept dying because we were using it for gps so a bunch of stuff is on my wife's phone.

My little humidor didn't really survive the trip though. It got dropped at one point which dinged up one of the corners pretty well, but the death blow came on the ride home. We had a bag of ice on the passenger's side floor which must have sprung a small leak and it soaked the carpet pretty well. No one realized how much water there was and I stuck the small humi on the floor for our ride back (~11 hours including stops). So that thing was absorbing water all day through the bottom and the sides were quite warped by the time we got back. No big deal that the veneered sides and such were ruined, but the bottom of the inside where its cedar lined had started to soak up water so I figure the entire thing is a write off (another point in favor of something plastic that you can seal). The humi itself wasn't a big deal to me as I mentioned before, but I did have some cigars in the the humidor that got wet from the water seeping through. I tried air drying all the sticks that were still in the humidor, but the ones that got a little wet were of course CC's without cello so I didn't really want to put them back into my main humidor in case there were any mold issues from the questionable water that was soaking in a car's floor mat for a few days. So the only logical solution I could come up with was to throw out all the cigars that were still in the humi on our way back.
















Not srs. I smoked the cubans that actually got wet over the weekend and anything that was in cello I let air out for a day and then put back into my main humidor minus the cello. Definitely the first, and probably the only time I smoke a Cohiba Robo while mowing the lawn. I don't even like to smoke good NC's while mowing.

8 quesada espana coronas - $70 shipped usps priority with tracking.
not sure of box code but can look when I get home. dug through my email for the invoice and they were shipped to me in feb 2013 though so theyve got over a year on them.
these can be tricky to find and are a fantastic cigar. if you want the box tack on $5 extra for shipping

I paid $35 for $40 worth of cigars, so its a decent value. I should have spent $100+ for better value, but funds are tight and I only needed enough to last me a few months. I think they actually do free shipping if you order $199+, but that may only be for the states
