    I got another shipment in today…
    I thought I ordered a 10 pack of Diesel shortys, apparently I ordered 2 ten packs. :doh: :headbang:

    I did only order 1 ten pack of the d10’s though.

    I am done ordering for a while, like a year or so. :emb::picard:

    I have one more shipment coming in at the end of the week. I am going to have to buy another damm cooler or just totally go whole hog & buy one those 800 cigar all-in-one electric units but I am afraid that would go over like a turd in a punch bowl. :makeitrain":heidi:

    I will have to start trying out some of those Drew Estate flavored ones that I have.

    I think I have 2-3 other Alec Bradley’s tucked away. I was writing all this stuff down but have gotten a bit behind lately…

    It’s kind of like chainsaws, go big or go home. I pumped the brakes on those & dove into cigars. This was supposed to be a deal one of my brothers & I were doing together but I am flying solo, I guess I am using his house for storage so technically we are still in it together.

    Apparently this person didn’t like my $150 offer, LOL. They had no bids the last 6 day cycle & they have posted it again. I got no reply to my generous offer either.

    It’s supposed to be cool & rainy for the next 7-10 days so I think I will have time to do some inventory.

    Are these resting comfortably or have you put a flame to any of them. ?

    Fired up the Alcazar #2 today because the suspense was killing me! The guy at the shop said he hated them. I thought it was pretty good. I’m a fan of Prince Albert pipe tobacco and ryo bugler cigs sometimes too. It was actually very similar flavor. I could say if one were to taste the char off the inside of an oak whiskey barrel. Haha.
    It burned good and I’d definitely buy another. 3C8940B2-D977-4974-BEAD-FBFF50F2B465.jpeg

    In my brief exposure to cigars I have never heard of them. I will have to do a bit of looking into them.

    They were a bit on the cheaper side of the selection in this shop. Around $9. They had #1-#5 if I remember right. I looked them up online and didn’t see a whole lot about them. Only had them in Churchill size as well.

    If you liked it that’s all matters. I have looked at some of those that have been seasoned inside casks/barrels, I think they would produce a good flavor.

    You guys aren’t kidding these things are worse than saws!!!
    Had to take a drive up to the city this morning and had a few hours to kill while up here. Searched “cigar” on my phone and found a nice place. Spent some time looking and drooling and picked up these. EC7C5769-1289-40A4-8195-A0B924F3A6E3.jpeg

    Looks like a good sample.

    I have eyeballed those Kentucky Fired MUWAT’s several times but not pulled the trigger on them. I am curious as to your thoughts on it.

    I don’t have any Perdomo’s they can be on next years order list.

    I have tried 2 Alec Bradley’s so far, I have a couple other ones to get to yet.

    Nothing to see here, move along….
    Very mild, all I got was the artificial vanilla, I didn’t get any other subtle flavors, it was smooth, no bitterness to the smoke, no kick at all, burned about 45 minutes. Probably a good morning cigar or lawn mowing cigar.
