    Those Tabak Dulce are tasty! I grabbed one of them and a Negra today. Can’t wait to go home have one and change my bush hog blades today. Maybe I can light it off the grinder sparks?

    Had one of these this morning while planting some corn. I just can’t see what all the hub bub is about with Macanudo’s

    Having a Nicaraguan 2nd Maduro now. The first one of these I had parked me on my arse, probably a combination of being strong & smoking it too fast. I’ll take this ne a bit slower.

    I feel the same. I had one of those a while ago and didn’t have much enjoyment.

    This round with the Nicaraguan Maduro 2nd was much more betterer, lol. It still had some strength but it was enjoyable.

    My box for the Bolivars showed up today, apparently they like to ship the cigars separately so if customs snatches the box all they get is an empty box.

    It’s a winner in my book, I’ll definitely be getting some more soon.

    I'm gonna agree with you on that one! For whatever reason, they sure are popular though. I spoken with a number of guys who said it was their first cigar; they still like 'em.

    I just had 40 Montecristo White Label #3’s show up today. Apparently I won them on CB a month or more ago :headbang:then they were back ordered. I had forgotten about it then I got an email to call them Friday& the gal I spoke with on the phone said she would cancel the order but then emailed back & said they had already shipped out. :picard:

    Over the years, I only had to cancel one order due to them listing something for sale that was out of stock.

    I got my Fathers Day gift today also

    Country Man Robusto Maduro

    Working on one now while listening to the ballgames. It is pretty good so far, if these age well they will be a very good cigar. :yes: I am pondering ordering a box or two of these just to park & forget about. They seem to be selling like hotcakes on CI & Thompsons, all either site has are Toros & Robustos in Maduro.

    Thanks for sharing Dave. :handshake:

    Going to give one of these a try tonight. It has been sitting for about 10 days.

    It was pretty good. It had perfect draw & perfect burn, the ash only dropped off twice. It put off lots of smoke. Flavors were mild but I think they will be better with a little humidor time.

    It was a 4.5” x 50.

    I would recommend them

    The Alec Bradley 2nd was a pretty good start to the day. If I still drank coffee I believe it would be a good match.
