i can confirm this works, after a while though, i've had to adjust it every third light. gets a little annoying. i haven't found a lighter that will last longer than 1 year under regular use. was considering a dupont just so i can stop buying lighters, but it sounds like they require regular maintenance. say la vee. -----dobbs

this is my caucasian ovcharka sidekick: the pic may not show it, but she's about 28" (71cm) to the shoulder and 120lbs (54.4kg). she's a good size, but ovcharkas get much larger than her. at 2 years old she's full-grown. i've kind of always hated owners of those comically large dogs, but this one stole my heart and i don't find her comical at all. -dobbs

These smell great, definitely waiting 90 days before sampling, not sure how fast they'll go after that. -----dobbs

jumped on psp monte 2's that look and smell stellar, can't wait to see how they smoke: -dobbs

cheers bud, thanks for all you and your team do. -dobbs

this is interesting to me, while i mostly agree with the above, cohiba panatelas and exquisitos are rarely (never) mentioned when discussing "skinnies." i haven't smoked either myself, but would be interested to understand why these are fairly overlooked. sorry for the thread-jack, feel free to ignore, i'll start a seperate thread if necessary, but the discussion is here, so... anyway, great review, i don't generally care for punch, but this is making me want to grab a box of pdc. -dobbs

i got those mar e2's like everyone else and they look and smell stunning whether the photo shows it or not: the wrappers are actually very red. -dobbs

you asked dude, it was an excellent explanation -dobbs

i'll echo the foursquare recommendations, pretty much anything they make. being a whiskey drinker, i find their 12 year bottlings to be the only rum on-par with fine whiskey. their probitas white rum collaboration with hampden is fantastic as well. that said, i'm not a huge fan of neat liquor with cigars. i really like appleton signature (the cheap one) with ginger ale (not ginger beer) and lime. fantastic with or without cigar. the appleton 12 is pretty good too, and if you're looking for another interesting white rum, casa magdalena is worth checking out. -dobbs

*edited* nevermind, bad timing... suffice to say i'm happy with the FOH policy. -dobbs

okay, so i know i'm digging up an old thread, but i smoked an e2 the other day from uao abr 19 that was in my top 5 cigars for the year. because of that, i ask the same question el presidente asked in 2014: well, how are the e2's with some years on? -dobbs

nice photos too by the way, sweet sunset over the water -dobbs

lusis are probably my favorite cigar, so consistent. i've got an aso mar 17 box that is super-dark, but smoking pretty great right now. i am really interested to see how they do over the next 3-5 years. i have a cab from 19 and definitely need a few more. smoke now, smoke later. nice review, thanks. -dobbs

if you can get past the lack of value, partagas serie d #6 is a great smoke that lasts just under an hour. -dobbs
