What's Your Latest Non-Cuban Purchase? II

G'day BOTL and SOTL!

Occasionally we get threads, which have simply run their course and other times, some have simply become so enormous that they become unmanageable. That's the case with the great thread, begun in 2009, by our beloved friend, Cigar Man Andy. Not only was Andy's thread 5 years old, but it had run up an astonishing 1065 pages!

That tells us that this is a topic, which garners extraordinary interest and popularity, while providing the community an opportunity to share their enthusiasm of adding to their ever-growing collections. So, it's in this spirit that I want to immediately create this follow-up thread.

My latest non-Cuban purchase is one of which I am particularly proud. Not only are they cigars I consider exceptional, but it was also a box split with a dear friend, fellow BOTL and respected member of Puff.

It's a box of 2012 Hundredth Anniversary Opus X Lancero, acquired by myself and Tobias Lutz. We met up at Milan Tobacconist in downtown Roanoke Virginia. Milan are an ORIGINAL Fuente account, having opened their doors the very same year Fuente were founded. Of course, we've both sequestered them into the deepest bowels of our humidors for a long nap and we look forward to sampling them together once they've awakened.





So, what's your latest acquisition?

Ya there is two of them 🤣🤣 I need an intervention. Ya I have been leaning more towards petite corona, nub and lancero's for traditional cigars.

I’d be curious how you like those Nubs, I believe the blue label is the Sumatra? Ive had most of the other nubs but not those.

Yes the Blue Lable in Sumatra, I have not had one yet. But after they get 2-3 months rest I will try one.

Apparently, I purchased two beetle boxes.
Vacuum sealed and sleeping in my freezer until I hear back from the seller.
One stick per box had the head crabs erupt...I didn't see any live bugs or any feces in the box, but damn this is a wake up call.

Will you smoke them later or just trash them ?
