RyJ Robusto by Romeo y Julieta Single

Alec Bradley Texas Lancero 7x70 Single

Don Tomas Robusto 3pk Sampler

Still have one of the Reserva Real Churchills (the last Connecticut Shade I own), 1 Don Tomas Sungrown and the Texas Lancero. Thinking about smoking the "lancero" at the beach next week.

I think is was early 2008! was supposed to be the original lines of La Perla Habana Morado & Cobre Belicosos. Pretty good! Much better then the current below average stuff

Purple Bands ROCK !

Smoked one just the other day.

it was a decade ago.

That said, anyone know the where about's of Dave... he's in Oregon.... big Oregon Ducks football fan. FOGS should remember him.

If I remember right, it was a bunch of Oliva, some Padrons and a crap load of yard gars.

Even with my superior

"Project BLACKJACK" memory...

I'd guess... I.T. SUPER Fuertes or some kind of seconds? Perhaps Perdomo MISTAKES 2nds maduro

OR Fonsecas? Maybe some candelas for my NEIGHBOR?

Sadly I must admit Puros Indios was also my 1st Cbid purchase followed by a lot of different "bargain" cigars. Fortunately a kind vet took me under his wing and led me down the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. Thank you Gandalf.

As for Zippy Dave, he's still in Oregon and doing fine, I would see him yearly at KNOF's annual Holiday Open House in the bay area. Along with SteveS (he led me to this place), Slimboli, TG, Beatdragon, Wyteyes and others.

Left the Bay area 2 years ago for SC, miss those Holiday Open Houses, Keith put on a great gathering of family and friends.

If we're talking about the Original BD's....they were actually quite good IMHO

Haven't seen KNOF on the boards for years. Now and again I see Gan at some Masshole herfs. My car was in the shop so I missed him this year at the annual Hyannis Herf (Cape Cod area) that Basic Patrick puts on...

I've burned through a lot of IT Super Fuentes over the years. I didn't think they were a bad smoke. I probably still have a handful in one of my totes. Might have to go tuper diving this weekend.

I kinda feel bad for some of the stuff I shared with others, had lots of trash in my humidor but I didn't know better. At that time everything tasted the same to me anyway.
