I stopped by my local shop today and the guy I deal with on a regular basis gave me these. The week before he went to the RTDA he asked me if I wanted to be a Guinea Pig for some of the stuff he brought back. Naturally, I told him "YES". This is what he gave me FREE this morning.

Yippee!

My wife loves that Karma Sutra Splash by CAO.... Got one the other day when I met Tim Ozgener at a local shop event.. He didn't have any Italias with him though 😞 But he did have the Anaconda!!! 🙂

What is the name of the cigar on the far right?

just look at that beautiful Italian love machine...I can't wait to get my hands on some!

cigars that is

The cigar on the far right is the new Perdomo Reserve Camaroon. Those of us who went to the CFest were delightfully surprized to get one Reserve of each line (Cuban Cafe, Maduro, and Cammie). The newest Reserve released is the Champagne (yellow lable) which I haven't had, but the other three are excellent.

Looks like you got an Acid Ming there also. I have a box of those at home. I like them but they are pretty fat.

hey a oneoff

All we are saying, is give peace a chance>

Oneoff's are shweeeet! I might have to go home an fire one up after seeing yours.

Sweet!! Tell him to save some for me....chuckle, chuckle, chuckle!!!


Goody

I smoked the Oneoff last night. Honestly, it was good but not really anything to wright home about. I am not saying that I was disappointed by any means, but for the $$ I spent for the one in Baltimore (still aging) I am less excited to smoke it. I gave it about an 8.5 on a 10 scale.

The Ming looks really cool! It might be a little too much on the "flavored" side for me, but what the hay!

My mouth is watering for the CAO! Now I can really pust some age on the one you gave me goody.


The hard part is that I have to take notes on ALL of them to give him my opinion to compare to his. Isn't that a shame?!?! LOL Free cigars just for keeping notes.....I think I can handle that!!

"Wright home about"???


Ize arr a kollig profasor two!!!!


That is a shame.

Shoulda been there for the smoker at my local....we met after hours with 16lbs of brisket and pork medallions and they emptied their bags of goodies....over 100 smokes!

We smoked the night away...I stopped at 4 but were required to take notes on each...we each took one for the team though!!

Chris, when we herfin again?


Goody

Im ready too Chris. I'll be there this time.








jeezy peezy!

Jeff

Looks like it's your turn to put something together Chris. I'm game.

The XL I am told is a Brazilian Maduro wrapper. I would be very interested in how this stands up against the CAO Brazilia and the Torano Sig. Any comments would be cool.........

Hey Cigar_Fiend I picked up a few of those XL cigars on Sunday. I was fishing yesterday and I decided to spark it up. I cut the end and the cigar looked almost moist, like a brownie kind of mushy. I should have known then not to light it. I lit it and started to puff and puff and puff. I couldn't smoke the dang thing. The cigar was way to young. I never did finish it. It was really bad. No flavor no burn no ash but the wrapper looks pretty. I will leave the other two in the humidor for a good long time and give them another try. I buy cigars to smoke no age so these may end up in the trash. Again I would like to know waht you think............
