Dude, those are made by General Cigar, praising their cigars around here is verboten!

I got to go to my local shpo today. The one that's 130 miles away from me, but it was worth the trip.

Saw this thread and snagged up some maduros to try.

1 - Padron 1964 exclusivo maduro
1 - Padron delicias maduro
1 - Padron 2000 maduro

I'm excited to finally try a Padron, Ive yet to put fire to one.

Also got

1 - Illusione 88 maduro picked this stick up then put it down, picked it up again and smelled it and took it to the register. Can't wait to try my first Illusione
1 - Oliva G Maduro
1 - Crowned Heads limitada 5x50

Non maduro selection included Las Calaveras 550, Kristoff robie natural, RP royale toro, Aging Room F55, and an AF Hemingway signature.

Then on the way home my wife wants to stop at Kmart and she asks me if I still want a cooler? So I got a small 48 qt. Coleman cooler now too!!! More room...

All great info!!

Don't you love the weekends!! I remember now why I backed off.
One can drop more change on cigar ending night than an Old Fashioned bing in NOLA!!

Humi's should be getting close to max come shipping day!!

Now to devise strategy to intercept mail man!!

CAO MX2 was mentioned. No outrage there.
Used to enjoy the Braziia too. Started with the LGC Maduro Minutos & Wavells.

Nice pick-up. The Delicias is a great little smoke.

Should have bought a bigger cooler though.

Baby steps man baby steps. If I was single Id already have a 150 qt standing on end with Spanish cedar shelves and several boxes of cubans resting until next year

Instead I had to mention the idea of a cooler over a month ago maybe even before Christmas and I'm just now getting it.

I don't know that there was much "adventure" to my years in working in the record retail business. Part-time, full-time, nights, days, middle relief shift, schedule maker, collected over 3,000 vinyl records (...probably much more than that but gave away a lot too...disco, classical, MOR, country...), free tickets to concerts, backstage passes to a few...hmm, okay, here's a story:

Went backstage for the Beach Boys concert here in March 1978. This was their "15 Big Ones" tour where Brian Wilson started playing in public again. In the waiting room, took pictures of Carl and Dennis Wilson, Al Jardine and Mike Love while my friend got them to sign a poster for me - but no Brian in sight. So I left that room and went to the opposite waiting room hoping to find him but it was empty, no food, no people, nothing. Walked out and was standing in the hallway right outside of that room when Marilyn Wilson (Brian's wife at that time) came by. Asked if I could take her picture and she obliged. After that was just cruising in the same spot when Stan Love (Mike's cousin) came rushing towards me, going towards the room. I had my back turned but heard some doors sliding and next thing I know, Stan is guiding (...more like pulling...) Brian out. What da? Looked at where the sliding noise had come from and from what I could tell, the doors covered up some electrical panels but with lots of room between the doors and the panels. My guess is that Brian was hiding in there. He was probably still scared of performing and his pre-show anxieties had gotten the best of him. But no pictures so you'll have to take my word for it. All in all it was quite strange.

Later on in concert, although Brian was supposed to be the bass player, you could tell he was hardly playing his instrument. His eyes looked glassy too. Towards the end we rushed the stage and when Brian reached down to shake hands, he ended shaking only mine. As a hardcore BB fan at that time, I was totally stoked.

Next time I'll tell you my Steve Gadd story.

Totally cool story......Still cruisin....Their last album was very good considering...I was huge fan even though yrs before my time...Is it true about his breakdown being LSD induced?Pretty sure is how story goes....Appreciate the story...

I as I have said used to hang with Bobby Jo Brown...Molly Hatchet .I or we got so f ed up ...They used to keep us seperated till after his show....Probably not the best thing but I assume I was unfortunately a bad influence in those days,because I partied hard as hellll.So we had some great times ,though in some ways regret,but honestly it is who I was....Been to alot of crazy parties in my day with some higher profile bands...In hindsight I would change nothing.I just wish he had controlled the booze better,which I never really drank....

Anyways another story soon I hope

How about the CAO L'Anniversaire. I've smoked a few and was pleasantly surprised.

No mention of Crowned Heads?! Some good cigars coming from them and the Jericho Hill has caught my attention, great maduro. Haven't tried the other sizes but the .44s is great. They produce tons of dense smoke, strength is nice and IMO these are a must try.
