The PSD4 box was from a recent split and used to stage (and store) the smokes for the photo. But yes some fine classic smokes Applause

Glad you like them Bro. A little info:

Peterson; pretty mild, but nice complex flavors. Smoke on a clean palate if possible.

Diablo; smoke with coffee if you partake. Different animal IMO with some java.

Tribute 03; Another fairly mild I thought had passed their prime. Had a cracked footed one while packing your box and forgot how complex they could be.

PD II; I miss Slimboli's low end cigar discussions. He never steered me wrong, and I bought a couple boxes before they disappeared. Wish I grabbed more.

Padilla Miami; Was in my top five cigars for two years plus. I still stop what I'm doing and enjoy when I fire one up.

Cloth band O; archeological proof Oliva made a cigar I like.

Oliva 100; People say that age has been improving these. I need to try one before I give the the few away.

Sherpa; that has to be about five years old. I dug that from the bottom of my humidor and bought those way back. Mild but nice.

E. Carrera; mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............................................

Keep the cool pictures coming dude. I think you could pick up work from some manufacturers with your ideas and camera work. Those (and several other folks pics) were way above what I had hoped for when I started this.

ZRX is right - that's a 'classic' bomb -- you can't buy most of those any more. Had one of my last Angel 100's recently -- even better than I remembered

Sneaky bastid got me too, claimed I won like 4th place in his contest, but he sure didn't send no fourth place prize!

I think he just wanted to hit a few people and the whole pic contest was a ruse to pic his victims.

Let me do the obligatory "you won't like that cloth band Oliva, send it to me".



No, seriously, send it to me!

Great hit right there.

I think the results of what great pics got posted warranted a few more prizes! The fact that yours had some history and a story behind it made it fun.

I received an awesome package as well back from Cacman; posters of all of his September submissions! It blew me away to see them full size. They will look great in the mancave, thank you my friend!
