The 5 Vegas AAA was a limited release I believe. If it was, that's a shame because they were right tasty and I didn't buy enough of them.😞

El Triunfador Limited - not smoked yet

Tatuaje Petite Blacks - wow these are good!

San Lotano Habano - these are great!

Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 - pretty good

J Fuego Origen Lancero - aging

My Father No. 4 - need aging

El Triunfador (new) - so-so, hopes on aging

Illusione Natural - not smoked yet

The bidding on the Illusione Maduro Lancero was ridiculous. I hope I don't have to wait until winter although by then maybe Illusione will catch up to their backlog and it won't be so crazy.

I am flying to Europe in three weeks, going to take a sampler of my favorites to compare with a friend overseas who swears by other brands. We will see!

Have been looking for more info on smaller ring gauges, will give me some ideas of what to try.

Damn fine cigar Oscar. Paul sent me one last year. It's been part of my regular rotation since.

Can't go wrong with Serie V, Illusions HL, Tat Black, Cain F, pretty much any DPG. If you happen upon them (not sure if they are made anymore), the Nestor Miranda Special Selection lances were rather nice too.

linky?

or instructions to find?

Poked around here a bit and don't see it.

Google "cbid historical tool", gives you a history of auctions going back years. Fascinating to see the seasonal effect on cigar prices for the same lot - winter is def the time to load up so they are aged for summer. Right now everything sells at a premium.

I had seen something similar for other auction sites, but couldn't find anything here.

yep, for sure.

I thought I would try some tat black petite lanceros, but I am not going to pay the highest price ever paid.

Not to mention paying retail ( or virtually retail.)

Great tool. There will be other auctions, maybe prices will be lower in cooler weather.

I don't mind paying a buck or two extra on singles to try them or five packs I want to try, just to get them in on the shipping.

However, as a matter of principle, I'm not going to bid retail for a stick.

You want to pay retail for it, fine. I will wait till another comes along, or hell freezes over.

Whatever.

I grabbed 10 Tat Bl PLs when they were on Freefall a couple of weeks ago, magnificent cigar. Wish I had bought more but the 10 were a leap of faith as it was. It may well be the best NC Lancero I have tried.
