    I cant pick up on all the flavors they talk about in a cigar either, the Ocean Club did have an interesting taste but can't describe it well.
    If a cigar taste like sheet I however can describe that!:D

    A local chain of stores called Bookworld announced yesterday that it is closing it's stores. The liquidation sales start today. Why is this significant to post here you may ask.....

    Yup, they sell cigars/pipe tobacco too. Gonna take a skip over to one and see about a Hemingway maybe!

    I called on them and at this point, they are only offering a 10% discount. With the prices, there is still more room for them to come down!

    Maybe next week.....

    No, but I've seen them. But being a Rocky, should be pretty decent at worse. I do like the label...

    Had my first one of these today. It was still fresh form the truck (couldn't wait) and was good. I'm sure after a month in the coolidor it'll only be better! Glad I got them.

    OK, I guess I didn't go all that crazy, but the deals were great lst Sat.

    Got a box of 20 (that sells on the normal site for $65) for $22 on the auction. Also-
    A 15 cigar sampler (normally $50) for $19 And I also bought a single for $3-that is the one shown above.

    But, I do have some cigars that I know I'm not gonna smoke any longer....what to do what to do?

    For the drive this week, had this one. mild to medium is very accurate.

    I really do have to go through the two coolidors and decide what I want to keep and what I want to give away.

    Smoking less frequently, but only ones I know I enjoy. I have cigars in the coolidors that I ordered to try and don't like them. Anyone else suffer from this affliction?

    For the past few months, that would be the rocky patel vintage 90 for my tastes. I keep going back to it. Probably since May/June?

    I get the 2nds cuz I find it difficult to pass up a deal.

    But the great thing about the cigar... is it can be the cigar, the drink, the meal, or the time that makes it great...
