Always the dreaded question, "what do you want for Christmas?" So I rambled on as usual thinking all this goody list would result in would be ties, socks, boxer shorts, etc. Well whaddya know! BLEW MY EYES OPEN ON XMAS MORN THEY DID! LOL! Wife got the Gurkha special on auction, HERE no less! Mother-in-law picked up the Torano Exodus 1959's. Wife also picked up the Xikar knife/cutter/moneyclip. Son brought home the Fuentes (not familiar with those but they're calling me!). The lighter is a PB207 the wife said I could order as it would "fill out my stocking." All in all my little family did me proud. Son is now out of military, daughter doing good in school, wife is smiling and I have more sticks to burn! This was a family Holiday Season we will remember having been all together. I sent the boy home with an Ashton Holiday Gift pack and a half dozen cubans for his future father-in-law. They say the man loves cubans and these were gifted to me but just didn't float my boat so they went to good use. Of course now the boy has raided my humi's to the tune of about 60 sticks while he was here so now I need to watch the bids! Well ...work always follows the holidays doesn't it?! LOL! Hope everyone had a great one!

If the Fuente has a black ribbon around the foot, I *think* that has to be the 858 sun grown. A very, very rare and tasty treat.

The other Fuente appears to have a green ribbon. I just bought one of these: double chateau. I haven't smoked yet, but should be good.

Actually I think that the Fuente is the Don Carlos Presidente - a very tasty cigar. I fired up one today as a matter of fact.

The black footed one looks like a Sun Grown Double Chateau Fuente.
