Everyone jokes around here, it's no big deal. If you post somethign you are sure to get some good responses and some not so great, I always enjoy the casual joke responses anyways. They lighten up the mood.

Good responses, thanks. It will help when it comes time to choose takes and I like reading other's opinion. I just put in an order for the Epernay line sampler and singles of Platino beli, 4/2g, and a few Lp9 singles from a diff site. A good start i think. I might just skip looking for the Monster series, and go for the Anarchy.

I personally really like the Illusione 68, HL, and MK.

Ok I received the box this evening. Just want to give everything a heads up that I won't be shipping it out until Wednesday. I have a HTF bundle of Tatuaje goodness arriving tomorrow evening, and I want to get one in there.

Also, just a couple of notes on some of the sticks in there... I was surprised by some. The Viaje S&B is a DC, not a ?. The Tatuaje Black Robusto is in there. And also, the Viaje Exclusvio Jar Release, isn't a jar release, it's a bundle release. As far as I'm aware, all jar releases had a pigtail on the head, this does not. I'll post up my takes and puts tomorrow night...I just got home from work.

Also, I can't believe the Barclay Rex is still in there. On BOTL, people would just about kill their mother for one.

Ran an idea by Ryan and he said ask you guys:

Since my "puts" and HTF's are so different than everyone elses, I proposed sending my "puts" now to the next person in the pass so more people get to have a chance at them (I am 2nd to last). I won't worry or think about "takes" until the box gets to me. Doesn't really change much. If yes, i need an addy for the next person. If No, no biggie. It was just a thought.

I am excited to see your plays RyanC.

The ~2~ is my absolute, hands down, least favorite Illusione that I've ever smoked. I dont know why, but that cigar (I believe it to be a torpedo) just never sat well with me.

tj2001cobra wrote:

+1 on this. I like the 888 and 12 much better and yes, TJ, it is the torpedo. These tooks about a year to get decent which was totally unacceptable...

-Other than Dirty Rat-Flying Pig, the best Liga Privada is.....

I'm a LP whore. 100%. My least favorite is the T52, but I like them too. The LP9 is one of the best smokes on the market IMO. Just a great smoke. NEVER lets me down. LP9 Pig is a treat. Any pig is a treat, but I like the 9 better than the 52.

Gee and I thought it was just me! Though I *hear* the T52s are good with age but given they were released in October of 2009 I wouldn't know... :-"

Ahh, well maybe it helps that I'm not a part of this pass. So here is my opinion. I would say not to do it because the only people who benefit are the ones after you. So it might be a little unfair to the ones before you. You could even start your own pass after this one is done.

Although thats just my opinion and if everyone says its ok and wants to let you do it feel free to. Seems like a nice jesture.

Well said Marcel. That was my worry. Bringing candy for 4 kids in class is lame, especially since this is my first pass after my hiatus. I should have thought of it earlier in the pass.

Ok, no more ideas or questions out of me, sorry. I think outloud and it has been a weird 2 days around here.

Now its time to think of what bundle RyanC was talking about, hmmm

I was planning on a year-old T52 Robusto as one of my puts (as long as that flies with everyone), so someone will be able to find out. These guys are ridiculously oily after a year! The last one I smoked a few months ago was frickin awesome.
