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?

The replacement order should arrive with a return tag, and I plan to ship them back so the vendor gets credit from the manufacturer.

Replacements arrived. Found one cello with beetle poo. Swapped it with a clean frozen stick.

New boxes in freezer. Infested boxes packed and ready for the postman.

Man that’s scary but glad they made it right.

After a week of carousing at the golf tournament I’m back at home and looking forward to being in my own bed.

Picked up some replacements from the B&M

Your welcome, happy it helped
Figured it was worth taking a chance on a blind buy for $125.

Visiting Columbia MO and my new favorite hangout in Columbia. Daughter goes to school there and I visit this place often. He’s been the owner for 55 years and has some really cool memorabilia. A bit of a hoarder but nice selection of sticks.

Picked these up.

Yes Tatuaje Reserva Broadleaf Cohetes. Wife said they are too cute to smoke. I think I'll smoke em anyway. Never bought anything in that size.

Awesome. I’m a big fan of large gauge short smokes. A great everyday smoke is any of the Nub varieties like the 460
