that there are comparable non ISOMs. Most of which were purchased right here on CBid!!

limoric - these are the smokes on their way to you...

Hmmmmm... Love the Fuente SGs and the CAO blacks.

Chris

Nice smokes. I have all of those in my himidors too. I havent tried the Fuente yet. I'm sure I wont be dissapointed. :>)

Mag

PS: Youngster, Hehehe! ;>)

The only one that I have yet to taste is that there Torano...otherwise, yep, great smokes...

the torano is a GREAT smoke well balanced nice flavor I just got a box of them in. Some Great presentation box they come in also.

Is the Black Pearl much different than a regular LPH? I've been underwhelmed by the ones I've had so I haven't rushed out to try the black pearl. The others in the photo are great though, so if if it belongs in this group, I suppose I should just try a couple.

Uh, did I mention that I hate non-ISOMs too. Uh, yeah, they really suck. Just try and prove me wrong c. I bet all these in your photo really suck too. Gimme gimme!

lenny - the Black Pearl is completely different from the regular line. Very complex, spicy, smooth and full flavored. They are incredible!!

Is the Padron the Ambassador or Churchill?

Mag

Did her.

Had it.

Loved it.

Oh yeah!

Gettin' older and bolder.

Here hear! All fine fine gars.

Mag - it's a churchill maddie with a year of age.

My wife had to bring a picture of these outside to show me. As you know, I'm sitting on my lawn chair beside the mailbox. I swear every red milk truck that approaches is the postman, until he gets close, doh! Wrong truck. But really you've gone overboard. I have not tried any of these and I'm getting really excited for when they arrive. I see a bomb in the near future. Wow, can someone send me a box of Kleenex.

Chris ... I'm surprised you didn't throw in an AF 858 Sun-Grown. Those cigars will knock any ISOM off it's pedestal ...

... and I hope you put something simple on the customs declaration ... like tie, t-shirt or ... wedding candles ... LOL!

I had one package trying to make it into Canada come back to me twice! First time I said it was a video tape, and they opened it (wanted to tax the recipient $130 for 15 cigars), so it was returned to me. The second time, I said it was souvenirs, and it was opened again ... and returned to me.

The third time, I said 'wedding candles' (as per the recipients instructions), and it went through without a hitch ... yep ... you heard right.

The guy that was getting the cigars told me the postal driver must think hes a bigamyst, becasue in the last several months, he's got over 15 packages from the US that said 'wedding candles' ... LOL!

That's wild Slim.

Yummy stuff, good choices.

Is that an 858? or a shorter version? it's tough to tell from the pic.

Slim - I would have put in an 858 SG, but I'm not that generous... 😉

They depart tomorrow labeled as a birthday gift...

Robby --- the bottom cigar is a Chateau Fuente Cuban Belicoso Sun-Grown ... which IMHO ... is the next best thing to an 858 SG --- in their line of sun-growns, that is ...

cwilhelmi --- I hope it works! I've been told that you have to be specific as to what is on the customs label ... that's why they opened up the one I declared as souvenirs.

... cross your fingers! It just may work ...
