I got a box of the A's from the 12:12 sale a while back. Haven't cracked into them yet. Kitchen Confidential is a great read. Read it last summer while on vacation, too.

Started the day on the deck with an '09 Fonseca No. 1 and lots of black coffee. Then paid my dues by taking the girlfriend shopping. Watched some baseball while smoking an '11 Siglo III, and finished up the night with an '07 Mag 46. It was a good 3 cigar day here on the chilly East coast of the US.

Predictions: 3 QB's go in the first 11 picks. Manziel slides to Minnesota. Houston - Clowney St. Louis - Watkins Jacksonville - Robinson Cleveland - Bortles Oakland - Mack Atlanta - Matthews Tampa - Evans Minnesota - Manziel Buffalo - Lewan Detroit - Barr Tennessee - Bridgewater

Fresh out of the freezer. A bundle of Monsdales and a bundle of Monte No. 2 with double ligero. The Monsdales were rolled by Eduardo Mons, Enrique's son, while the No. 2's were rolled by a torcedor from La Corona who rolls Monte 2's there. Letting them rest more will be a true test of my patience.

I recently bought some great sticks off of Geoff. He is a very generous brother and a deserving winner. Congrats too all!

Nah. It's a girl. I cropped her name and picture out of the photo for privacy sakes.

It's a shame that of the few females in the hobby nowadays, this one got a fake. Hopefully, it didn't turn her off to the hobby completely.

I just checked the 2 boxes I received this week from the recent 12 deals. The Dip 2 box has a round black sticker on it. I know that the HQ's have a red sticker, because I bought a HQ box of RASS recently and it has that on it. So, black is either PSP or PE, not sure which because I only recently started buying from FoH. The other box of Hoyo Short Piramides is void of any round sticker. Regardless, I'm happy with the way the sticks look.

I agree with your thoughts on Nics and Doms. That caused me to make the switch to Habanos too. Welcome aboard!

Great indroduction! Welcome aboard!

Welcome! Yesterday it was 65 degress here. Today it's snowing!

Maintaining as much anonymity as possible when buying Cuban cigars is important to me for reasons I would rather not go into here. I even go as far as to have my packages shipped to my girlfriend. And yes, she's aware of the risk, but also understands the need for me to do that. Shipping to her mitigates the biggest risk, but the paper trail left behind when using my credit cards to buy cigars is concerning to me. So, I've been looking into Bitcoins as a form of payment when buying Cubans. Unfortunately, only one Cuban cigar vendor currently accepts Bitcoins for payment and that vendor is considered dodgy. So, I'm weighing the risk of buying from them versus the peace of mind that being completely anonymous will give me. Is accepting Bitcoin something that *****IT is considering and are there any plans to accept them in the future? Being a former small businessman, I know the fees that credit card companies charge businesses. From what I've read, Bitcoin's transaction fees are a fraction of credit card companies, so there's a cost savings benefit to the seller. And at the same time, the buyer would have their anonymity. Seems like a win-win for both the seller and the buyer.

Most of my collection is comprised 1 through 3. I have a lot of time to smoke, so I guess that means I have a good life?

You must have the steadiest hands around!

Nice way to get your feet wet. I picked up a box of Epi Especials, recently. The vitola is a little more to my liking.
