I think Marcus is giving up cigars and giving his whole stash away. I just received a package today with an incredible selection of cigars. Posting to come.

I bought mine at mlbsproducts dot com previously cigarbags dot com. The sampler is great, you get a mix of one finger, three finger, and five finger.



This one was more like two hands.. It held ... umpteen cigars..

well, there's 10 cigar slots and a few more were stuffed in there for good measure...

Wow is really all I can say right now. I’ve had a smile on my face since I opened my package from mjrburn. Thank you again sir I’d say this was perfect hit for me. He even saw that I have noticed I enjoy Ecuadorian cigars and sent me all cigars with some form of Ecuadorian leaf. Very much appreciated.damage report as follows

Punch knuckle buster habano
Espinosa comfortably numb
AVO syncro Nicaragua
Caldwell blind man’s bluff
601 steel
Tatuaje tattoo
CroMagnon Aquitaine
Boutique blends la boheme
Aganorsa leaf habano
Crowned heads luminosa
And 2 I’m not sure what they are one is a diesel I’m unsure of which one. The other one I believe is a my father #1 but again not sure there was a v cutter in there as well which will be a nice change from my usual straight cut again thank you man great hit all are a first for me and almost all were on my watch list haha


Damn, that package made it in record time! Glad everything arrived safely. You are correct, the MF is a #1. The Diesel is an Unlimited d.5 with some age on it, 2016-17 iirc, they are in their prime at the 3-4 year mark. Also, the Comfortably Numb is a Vol.1. I haven't tried the Vol.2 but I hear it's another good one from Espinosa. Hope you enjoy 'em! Beer

Just depends really man. I smoke immediately. It’s fairly likely the cigars you received were in near perfect condition when you got them. Most of these guys have them in their humidors so I would imagine they should be good to go.

I’m a weirdo so mine usually rest for a week to a month. I figure a week is plenty though really

3 days in the freezer to kill possible beetles, then three in refrigerator, then to the humi for a week minimum. I’m kinda anal bout my smokes never had beetles and don’t want them.

If cats had hearts......
seriously, hope your new improved healthy heart is doing great. I'm still smoking my way through the last overly generous bomb you sent. And I'm not alone. Have seen many mentions of CTC in the thank you column of recently smoked.

Marcus and David, y'all are true gentlemen and forever brothers!

As far as my health goes, I'm doing quite well! Heart is doing good, had a stress test, ekg, etc. and everything seems to be going well. Wife and I started a new diet on March 1st, and I've list 19 lbs since then, on top of the 20 lbs I've lost since January. Feeling good, looking good. Gonna keep going and making myself a better "me"!

Hope ALL of you on CBid are doing well! Miss smoking, especially as the weather gets nicer outside!

I'VE BEEN HIT!!

Package arrived from SOB. Here's the damage:

Aging Room Solera Festivo NH
My Father La Promesa Petite NH
AF Last Call Robusto NH
Partagas Black Robusto Haven't had in years
Case Study CS/13 Robusto NH
Asylum 50x6 NH
Untamed Toro NH

Awesome hit, SOB! A bunch of NH's and a couple it'll be nice to revisit. I like how you labeled most of them with the date and shop purchased from. Most have a couple years on 'em. THANK YOU, SIR!

I considered doing the same, but decided to keep a spreadsheet with a tab for each BOTL. I'm sure I run into trouble at some point, but it has worked out so far.

I am a total NOOB. I just had my first cigar 3/25/21, it was amazing and i immediately started buying cigars and the makings of a diy humidor from food storage container. I am on her looking for other BOTL and people to bounce ideas and stuff off of. If there is a cigar trade program in place I would like to participate. 1st cigar was a Drew Estates Isla Del Sol ( loved it) 2nd was Arturo Fuente Hemingway ( great ) 3rd was Don Pepin Garcia Blue ( fantastic start and got better til the end)

Thank you for the quick hit SirKnight, very much appreciated. Sorry for the late post, I've been a bad boy.

Romeo 505 Nicaraguan - good stick
El Baton - NH had to work for this one, but my research tells me it should good
Nica Libre 25th Anniversary Silver - NH looking forward to it
Diesel Whiskey Row PX Sherry Cask - Good smoke
Casa Fernandez Reserva - NH its gotta be good
Aging Room Quattro Original - NH its Aging Room nuf said
Man O' War Virtue - NH need a good morning stick, running low
Zino Platinum Grand Master - smoked these on many of mornings
Padilla Hybrid - NH it's Padilla
Romeo Y Julieta Viejo - NH looking forward to trying this

I'm very intrigued at the El Baton. A lot of first times, which I'm very excited about.

Thanks again.
