Pac man was all over this board when I originally joined in 2009. I missed him and it was good to see him back. I hope he's not gone for good.

[quote=pacman357]#8 I don't know why the folks at CA don't give Kristoff much love, and taste is always subjective, but the Criollo ligero has long been a favored cigar of mine (say maybe top 40-50), and the Corojo is the real gem in that line, IMO. If you can get hold of a Tatuaje little monsters, skinny monsters, or some variation thereof at a decent price, there are some fine sets to smoke. To step up a bit in price but for some good cigars, the Tatuaje cojonu 2012 series came in 3 wrappers. Sumatra is the best of the bunch, but all three are good.[/quote]

I haves couple dozen Kristoffs that have been buried in one if my coolers for the past 5 years or so. I haven't smoked one in years. Time to pull one out.

My fav Kristoff so far is the Pistoff Kristoff.

I tried the Fratello sampler and I'd put it in your top group.

Padron and Fuente samplers also belong in the top group. Both makers put together samplers of their stuff at each price level, as well as the samplers from assorted price points, all the way up to assortments of their high end stuff...

I actually have a Fratello 5 cigar sampler and Padron 8 cigar samplers in both Maduro and Natural chilling that I need to burn through.

Delta if you have had particular sampler from those mentioned post them and I can add to list.with you name next to it.

And anyone for that matter if you would like to add any particular brand samplers you have had to the list I will add them with your name next to it. Just let me know which list they would best fit under.

Did the Fratello sampler come with crab hammers? They gave away crab hammers in Dallas where there is no water or crabs.

Mine did not but crab hammers in Dallas is genius! Everyone will ask "where's the crab??"

Are you sure that hammer wasn't actually a cigar box opener? I had similar confusion when I received a small hammer in the mail as a holiday gift from CoH. I actually did not know that even existed lol. Took me like 10min of interwebz research to figure it out.

For shame, noob. Mentioning CoH by name.

Luckily mine didn't show until after it was discussed on here

got mine this week...

They're nice. I just got my new vegueros and party shorts today. Hope that gets me on the list for next year. 😁

No, they were actual crab hammers

I think that’s enough for today.

Ah, the full throttle Clint days. Those were good times. Occasionally horrifying to read, but good times

Speaking of CoH, I didn't get no Xmas gadgets last year. Plague musta got'em
