lot's of trading happens here, and some random surprise bombing too. not everyone gets involved, but if ya get a truly great smoke, it is worth a tribute to the donor.

some never get involved in cigar talk, some never get involved in politics...you do what makes you comfortable.

... Chris Q, the Ewok. An Oliva MB3 he gifted me late last year. My first, and it was excellent. Thanks to the Endorian marvel!

...Stinger. Litto Gomez Small Batch, looks like a No. 5 from 2013. A great end to a great day. Thx, David!

Corey - Hemingway Short Story. held ashed for over half the stick while i walked the beast. pretty impressive.

I think you have it confused with walking the dog (who just might be a beast).

...Shaun. Although I *thought* we had agreed on a trade, he RAOK'd me 3 T110s last year and wouldn't hear of me "completing" my end. Fabulous smoke. Excellent construction, nice draw, lots of smoke output, wonderful taste. Looking forward to ashing up my next one. Thanks again buddy!

Grape White Owl thanks(????) to jespear and his SuperBowl winning Eagles

LoL.......a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do....

I’m glad you liked it. They can be had for bargain prices if you keep an eye out for ‘em.

Would finding them be a bad thing?

You actually SMOKED it ?
I thought I let you off the hook on that bet.
As Frankie T said . . . Man, you ARE a good sport !
Well, now you have to post a review.

Ewok... Surrogates Cracker Crumbs. Great, below-freezing, cold-weather smoke. Thx, little buddy!

To Shaun....smoking a Tat Capa Especial that I won off of him on a wager. Very nice. It has been awhile since I smoked a Tat. Too long.

I smoked the last cigar out of my grandfather's stash. It was a Charles the Great from Finck Cigar Company in San Antonio, TX. Not the greatest cigar by any means when they're brand new but he died eight years ago and I know he had it for quite some time prior.

It was an absolutely great cigar; it had a great draw and all the harshness mellowed out; it still had a reasonable amount of flavor to boot!

He would have been 95 this past week. Eternal Rest...

He was smoking one with you JJ. You know that.

LFD Double Ligero

Great cigar Eric!

Yes sir it was my first trade for sure. I am very glad you are enjoying the stogies as it does my heart well. I picked up a couple more of the flying pigs last night bwahahaha. I might have to fire up a winged oinker tomorrow myself by gosh.

A Montecristo Pilotico (Pepe Mendez) Toro

Thank you, David.
It was two hours of smoking enjoyment !

where'd you pick them up? sitting on one right now and have not been able to find deals on them. in fact the only pig I have found deals on are kfcs n I think I'll have to revisit the few I have resting before another box gets bought .

unless it's a TAA, no deal, no dice currently lol

Foundry Time Flies LE White

From another great trade with NWStogie.

Great taste, perfect burn, solid white ash, great draw.

I know these are somewhat new, hafta do some searching cuz they're not in the local. Nailed it again Matt, thanks

I saw them on another site today for around $ 45 for a tenski - seemed a bit high to me.

Smoking a nice La Aurora Corojo from our very own Hank. Thanks, brother. This is a nice end to my day!

...my 2015 Secret Santa, Delta1. Santa delivered one heck of a payload. All sorts of goodies and great smokes, including an AF Opus X Perfecxion X that I decided to ash up tonight. No particular reason, no special occasion, just thought I would treat myself to a wonderful cigar. Thanks again Al...err, Santa.

AF Hemingway Signature Natural, from Mikey 1597 from 2017 SuperBowl squares........
3 years in his humi and a year in my coolerdor and these are smoking like pure silk.....thank you for the hour and a half of pure pleasure

Padron No. 90 Tubo · 5.5 × 52, notes of coffee, cocoa, and cedar.

Excellent cigar, thanks for including this one Eric.
