I don’t chase anymore and I just assume buy PCR reserves, Noellas and Especiales.

I think part of the problem is the lack of readily available stuff that doesn’t have tons of “fan boys” where as once upon a time you could get stuff easily.

Was thinking about this and yah, gotta agree. Less cigar talk and more other stuff that, quite frankly, doesn't appeal to me.

Prime example - has RayR ever posted an entry about cigars or has it been 24/7, 365 about politics?

I think if I wanted to talk about politics, I'd find a site who's sole mission is to discuss / argue about that stuff, not a discount cigar company's. Of course, ymmv.

Hahahaha! I see what you done there.

Speaking of Warped, initially I wasn't a big fan 'cause Kyle kept on releasing Limited Editions like they were going out of style. You either had to get on the KG Bus and buy everything he put out (...great, good, okay or bad...) or be selective and possibly miss out on a great blend or worse yet, buy a few blends and not like them. In his early years, KG did have some winners but I don't recall him hitting at a 90% success rate. Maybe more like 50%? IDK 'cause I never spent the coin to find out if he had a good one or not. I was usually the Johnny-come-lately and typically too late to buy a smoke that everyone raved about.

But, now that he's built up a bigger regular line, there are definitely smokes that I like and buy in bigger amounts.

La Colman Coleman Colmana. Something. But yeah. Actually have a wicked good pipe tobacco blend

I haven’t heard about it. I fall in and out of the loop. I usually try things when they go on sale 2-4 years later lol.

I feel like a Churchill is an odd size. I mean. I smoke Churchill. I like Churchill. I’m gonna need a single. No doubt. The biggest problem is I have stuff I still haven’t tried. Then I bury it. Ya know. I have an anniversary monte. I heard from another brotha it’s gold. I need to dig some of these things up.

I'm not much of Churchill-size smoker myself but maybe we can rustle up a buncha fellas and split a box?

I don't think I'd want more than 2, 3 max, of each.

If it’s a big girl. I just stop when I’m done. I’ve seen a couple other guys mention the same. I have some 300 manos in Churchill. If I’m over it in an hour. Well I just let her go

Dam…. Never thought about it like that. Maybe I’ve been doing wrong

Hmmmmm. It’s like those beers I’ve bought. The ones that are undrinkable. But I finished them. See I just hadn’t thought about it. Churchill to the nub going forward.

I don't think JTS has a telecrafted tool yet? May have to fix that problem.

Call him up before the next variant flares up. If that doesn't work, I might know a guy who's a fan of dark beer, which is why the IPAs still sit in the fridge.

I see that nephew about once a month. He works near a store we go to every once-in-awhile. His promotion to Asst. Store Mgr. recently means he doesn’t have to work Saturdays so it’s just a matter of synching up a free weekend. But, he also splurged and bought a buncha Abyss for the herfs. He’s managed to whittle down his inventory while herfing with a few of his friends once or twice a month.

I’m gonna bring the boxes back home so I can take an inventory but I know one of the boxes has something like 10 2014 Abyss’!

Yah, I went hog wild that year.




Drinking a whole bottle by yourself in one sitting is quite a task. I’ve done it before but might be too much of a good thing at this point in time. I tried drinking half and then capping the bottle but didn’t finish it till a couple weeks later. Definitely waited too long.
