    First one, not so bad. Second one, after a couple weeks rest, VERY GOOD! Had it after scrounging a load of firewood last Sat. morning.

    I've had a few of them before, not bad at all! I'm into some Perdomo 2 (squared) "Mistakes" right now. Love them. They are not actual "mistake" or seconds, that is just the name of them. LOVE them!

    That one sure gets high reviews, but I think it may be just a little too much for me. Don't like getting the spins after having one...not fun.
    But you never know, right?

    This one is actually milder than you would think. Way milder than Liga Privada no.9 or an Undercrown. Last night I had a Camacho Corojo wrapper that was a gut puncher.

    Cigar Bid is good if you know what you want and don't get sucked in and overpay. You would be surprised how many people pay more than the normal prices on Cigars International. The private auctions for members can have some bargains too. Picked up a box of Camacho's from CB last week.

    True that! Gotta watch the prices and not get involved in a bidding war for sure!

    Yea, the private auctions are AWESOME! They definitely watch/study the cigars your order/bid on over time, and taylor those auctions to what they think you will buy. I just won a bid on a box of 25 of Torano Noventa Latin for $59. Normally a $130 box, on sale on Cigar Internatinal for $89 + shipping. Private auction had for $59 + 6 shipping which is $2.50 a stick. Pretty nice for a Torano Of courser, I never tried one of these Noventa's so that will be a gamble! ;) They arrive on Friday, will report back!

    Not too bad, especially for the price, but not my favorite Torano by a long shot. But AMAZING packaging. I think this is the most expensive looking box I have ever received, and I have spent some big money on a box of high end cigars in the past.
