Sheppsea's new Arrivals

Thanks everyone, I don't get overly excited about my Birthday anymore - other people are normally more excited about it than me, but yesterday was quite good, we just had my family over, and best of all my daughter was the centre of attention!

Arf's right, no rush with any of those fine cigars Shep & if you haven't smoked an 'A' before, allow at least 3hrs, that's one cigar you want sufficient time to smoke leisurely & if outdoors, a day where the weather looks like it will last at least 3 hrs. Add those two requirements together & you can see why we don't smoke many of them these days but a true Cuban classic for sure. Let's see a review when you have finally reduced it to ashes. I have just bought a cab of the NL RE's & I won't be opening them for several yrs, luckily I have some singles to keep me going.

Sheppsea's new Arrivals

It was my thirtieth birthday yesterday and these were my wife's gift - I have been looking for these for a while, whenever my wife has been back to Lithuania she has kept an eye out for them and whenever her family have visited Vilnius she has instructed them to go to the cigar shop there to see if they had any. Unfortunately they never did, but then CGars had them so she got them in

They are the Baltic Region (or if you believe the internal label the Baltic states and Nepal, which I'm guessing is a mistake) RE from 2007, I had a single of these and it was right up there with the best cigars I have ever smoked I just hope they are as good as I remember as I know these cost a lot more than I would normally spend on a box!

Yeah, sorry Tom, I knew they were on the cards so couldn't take any risks of loosing them as there was only one left! They were from CGars

Not cigars, but I'm also building up my cigar book collection ready for when I have a smoking room These two books were delivered last week but only just got round to posting them up

That is something I have never considered, cigar books. I will have to do a little research.
Nice additions.

There's a couple of really interesting ones out there, MRN is obviously the most famous, but realistically you'll have to learn a new language to get that because english ones are very hard to come by (mine if german) - the link shows one for ?600 (I must admit I'm still half tempted but will have to resist, its just miles too much)

Whenever I read a book I feel like I'm learning much more than when browsing the internet - they just seem to go into so much more depth

Very cool - I have been trying to find the official Hobanos guide since coming back, can't find one anywhere!

A couple of boxes of PL Encantos arrived for the split, and in addition to that I also picked up some PLPCs and Boli RCs - two of my favourite cigars
