I have smoked both the '05 and '06 Double Robusto Carlito and both were GREAT! Can't speak to the 2007 line, however.

im amazed no one has mentioned Padron cigars..

Trust me, get any of the anniversary series, or any Padron for that matter.

Also, get the following...amazing cigars

"Oliva Master Blends 3"

"San cristobal Classico"

"Oliva Series V"

"CAO Brazilia" are very nice too

Partagas black are good but really really heavy on nicotine

Rocky Patel Decades are also great..

And also Padron's...did i mention that allready!!!!

2. What precautions should I take with cigars in my suitcase (or carry-on) with the low humidity of an aeroplane? What would you do?

Easy: I would buy a cigar caddie. They are very cheap in the USA.

NC Overload!

The lad's correct about the upper-end Padron sticks, but they've been mentioned so often around these parts I understand how it was overlooked. Plus, it's in the price raged of the God of Fire!

As for most of those mentioned above, including the Decade (sorry senor CIV)...."meh!"

I'll add another nod for the Padron Anniversarios over a God of Fire. Or over any other suggestions that have been made here for that matter. One of the best NCs made, period.

Well boyz...if you still have any left in your pint-size units, I suggest you put them up for sale in this fine forum and let others who actually know what a good stick should taste like have a go at 'em!

Hey el Perro! I think that's what Catalina Joy said!


Haha! Dem bashment gyal!

[omegar]

OK...... On my way home now, at this moment sitting at Newark (New York) waiting for the plane to board. 50 sticks in my suitcase The main buy was a box of 24 La Traviata Intrepido, a couple of God of Fire by DC, plus a whole bunch of pairs of other sticks. The guys at CI were incredibly helpful, and I spent over an hour there this morning. Looking forwards now getting home this afternoon, and filling up the humidors.

I hadn't heard of the 24 La Traviata Intrepido until now. That's one big-arse stick (7X54). I read some pretty decent reviews this morning on this one, including one from a lad who turned green by the end of the stick (over 2 hours)! I used to be a fan of some of the CAO line, but not much lately.. Very interested to hear your thoughts on this one.

Hey el P! Catalina Joy prefers the slimmer "Radiant."

[omegar]

Apparently, the La Traviata Intrepido is a cigar that is only sold "in store", and a limited number of stores are allowed to buy them if they don't put them on internet sale.

I don't normally buy big cigars at all. My largest is a Robusto, and that is rare. But being allowed to bring in 50 sticks of any size, then most of what I bought are larger ones. Big cigars are the "thing" in the USA. apparently.

Anyway, the test will be in the smoking and tasting. We'll see!

Just got home, and now for the unpacking.
