[ACMCC]

Deano, you can smoke them but there best for giving away! (to non cigar buddies)... in truth there not that bad, MRN say's there much better with some age on, the cazadore's are way to strong young...

Thanks Whisk, have not tryed them yet, there 07's but still gona let them rest for 2/3 month's, going to order the sel. 1/2 next...

I got a 2nd box of phenomenal JL Maximos....so, so good

The marvelous Richard sourced a box of JL Obus from a contact.... great service, great guy!!!

Very nice indeed Stevieboy.Very nice.

[whisky77]

Willpower.

Two boxes arrived today which I intend to age, cure and pickle.
I'll find that hard because these smell like a sexual quimmy come on.

I've got 50 smaller smokes on the way, it will be interesting to compare and contrast.







I'm trying to become a STOCKMAN but I don't think I have enough willpower!

Very nice indeed Robusto.
First rule of being a good Stockman is; Put them in the humi and just try and forget about them for a while.

[nicwing]

Has Roboooooooosto got the will power?

[Robusto]

Craig. That is exactly what I am going to try to do.
I feel better with a few drawers full. I feel tooled up.
I like driving home knowing I have over a 100 smokes tucked up in bed.
I dunno.
It makes me feel civilised to enjoy one of the great things in life.

Comforter.

Totally agree.And unlike a lot of other things in life, they rearely let you down.
Kind of like a big boys comforter.

[Robusto]

Tell you what.

I tried one of the newly delivered JL2s this evening. Not as well cured and bedded as the ones you have looked after - but still a cigar to be in love with.

These cigars seem HEAVIER just to hold than many Robustos. They are log-jammed with filler. And they rest sooo well. And the brown smoke is heavy, too.

I am in love. I really am.

[Stevieboy]

I am in love. I really am.

JL are now my favourite brand...all should tremble and bow before them

It's great that they're such a niche brand hence reasonable prices

What's the box code on your new JLs Bry?

[Deano]

Uh Oh

My Cuban delivery arrived. Had to get out my selection boxes too (pyramids were a late gift which was lucky as I nearly bought some of whiskey77) so took a complete selection shot.

The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure 2's were my first cabinet ever (other than fake Cohibas from when I started out from friends...) so I took a couple of extras.

The Montecristo Sublimes are the darkest ones I've seen. Amazing.

[Deano]

Hard to see in those photos but the sublimes are so so DARK.

[Robusto]

That's interesting.

Since when have Hoyo Epicure No2s had a band?
When they were my smoke of choice, they were naked as the day they were born!

[nicwing]

Interesting, Howard at Dunhill said that some of his customers specified "Dark and Oily".

I assume they meant the cigars, sounds good to me anyway up!

[Stevieboy]

That's interesting.

Hey Bry - all Cuban Cigars now come banded (since 2006!?!?) even those in cabinets of 25 and 50

[Deano]

Yeh I've always known them with a band - funny, first I've seen with the second band though

[Robusto]

Really?

I haven't bought Hoyos for a long time.
I thought they were distinguished without a band.

They are glorious smokes.
