Danm tagged me last week with an awesome hit!

Aladino corona (I think nh)
DE HE Brazilian maduro (been a loooong time)
DE Undercrown maduro (have not had in forever)
EPC Encore (love)
EPC La HIstoria (love)
Foundation Olmec maduro (love, one of my favs)
Foundation Tabernacle Broadleaf (love, one of my favs)
Foundation Wiseman maduro (love)
Illusione Ultra MK (love)
La Aurora 120 (nh)
Plasencia 151 Cosecha (nh)
Tatuaje PCR (after all the above top-shelf stuff, seeing the PCR was like suddenly discovery that the really hot chick you are about to sleep with is ALSO double jointed! ICING on the cake, I love these)
Unbanded mystery cigar (who doesn't love a good mystery?)
Undercrown Shade Connie (nh)


On top of all that, there was a giant bag of gummy bears (the good kind) and a cool gridlife racing sticker.

Danm, amazing hit. Thanks!

I will send out this week. Currently taking nominations (and bus driving) for suggested recipients via PM.

I always tried to include something local in my packages. I used to do a lot of local beers but I quit drinking so that's out. I've done local maple syrup in a few but the place I volunteered at for maple syrup time turns out they don't actually bottle the stuff they make to sell in the gift shop, the stuff they sell is just bulk bought and relabeled so I quit doing that. Albanese candy factory is like 10 minutes down the road from me, so I've been going with that. Not much local specialties in northwest Indiana. We have steel mills, oil refineries, and a candy factory.

Not one of those cigars has any bit of age on it. Oldest one is the PCR and I bought that box 1/29. A LOT of it came within the past couple weeks, so you may want to treat them as ROTT and sit on em for a month. The boxes of EPCs, Undercrowns and HE Brazil all came in the day I packed up your tag.

Hope you like em. A lot of that stuff I've never had either.

Good info about the age, thanks. I will sit on them for a bit.

And I am NOT LOW.

In fact, I may have more cigars than storage space right now...

Sorry for the delay, Gents. USPS Click-n-Ship website is down for half the country so I can't print a shipping label right now. The box is sitting on my desk ready to go.

They all look amazing to me. I’m particularly interested in that Plasencia 151 Cosecha. Recently, I’ve put Plasencia, Aging Room, Padron as my top 3 favorite brands

No, don’t announce who you TAG!ged but you could post up the DC.

I’ll edit “Da Rulez” to reflect that.

Yup sent a buncha stuff to Maxd518. Seems like a good guy who was asking the right questions and generally taking some good advice from the guys here. My dumb mistake was not writing down what I sent him! I just dug into the humidors and started pulling.
I’ll tell you…it’s a great feeling to do this kind of thing, and I’m glad I got involved. I’m sorry I took so long, though.

DaQueenBeez ran this fun game 9 years ago and thought it’d be great to bring it back. I’ve basically Copied & Pasted the text but here is the game for all who are interested:

1). I will send out a RAOK. The person who receives my RAOK has been tagged and they are "IT."

2). The person who is "IT then sends out a RAOK to whomever they want. The next person to receive the cigars is now "IT".

3). This keeps going until someone receives cigars and decides there is nobody they want to send cigars to.

The rules are simple; if you know how to play Tag, you can play this game.

Da Rules:

1). You cannot tag the person back that just tagged you. No payback for something received from this TAG game, please. I think that will take away from the fun.

2). If you are "IT", post what you received to this thread. Do not create a separate thread. Similarly, when sending out, post the DC# here.

3). When you are "IT", you decide whom you wish to tag and what you want to send to them. It can be a fiver, a nuke or something in between - doesn't matter. What you are tagged with should not influence what you decide to send (i.e., you do not have to match or exceed what you were tagged with).

4). Re-gifting is perfectly okay! Once you receive the TAG, it's YOURS and you may do whatever you please with it. Say, for example, you get a TAG with a well-aged Gurkha X(ploding)-Fuerte among the contents. You don't care for them, personally. Your chosen target, however...LOVES, LOVES them. In that case, SEND IT TO HIM or HER!

5). Keep it moving! As much as possible, try to get the TAG moving again within a week. Chit / Life happens, of course, so if you need a little longer to track down an elusive addy or for any other reason, PLEASE post up and let everyone know that there will be a bit of a hold up! Once you’re done picking a target, boxing up and sending your box, post up the DC#. Don’t announce who you’re sending to.

6). Make sure to include a note letting your target know they've been tagged - they might not monitor the trade board regularly.

If you have to think too long and hard about your target, take a look at the names of folks who've posted that they WANT TO PLAY and DROP THE HAMMER on them! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Edited 2024-03-14


Soooo...let's play and have some fun!

Newb here, checking in… in the right thread! Haha I received an amazing variety of cigars from Mraia yesterday which was much more than I ever expected. Since joining the forum I’ve learned a lot and look forward to trying out a lot of the variety I have now. Sometime over the weekend I’ll post what was in the box!

Hoyo: Excalibur
Espinosa: Murcielago
Perdomo: Habanobba Robusto and Champagne
Montecristo: Rothchild
Virtue: Man o War
Baccarrat: Rothschild

As of right now I've tried the Crowned Heads Serie E, and the HC White Shade. Loved them both and would have never tried them if they weren't sent to me. Specifically, I thought the Crowned Heads Serie E was really smooth, burned well and had really good flavor.

But
There may be a list.
And you may have got put on it.
