YEs, there are a lot of smokes which are quite value for money.

 

Upmann Con1, Partagas Mille Fleur, Rafael Gonzales PC also very worthwhile buying

Choix Supreme...

 

One of my favourites, after the HDM DC.

 

 

Hey guys, good info on cigars here. Hope to learn more and maybe meet up one of these days.

 

Cheers fellas!

[Throttle]

Nitestalker, dont waste time on that one.

harsh, inconsistent, flat tasting and poorly rolled.

 

Monte 4 is better.

[Throttle]

Nitestlaker , Sev what are you guys smoking on 30th DEc?

[Sev]

i will bring a small one for blind tasting, a magnum 46 and a series D.

nightstalker will pass me some P2 on friday night, so i got few choices...

[Nightstalker]

i'll be smokin a partagas shorts tats for sure. wanna try out tat one. nad maybe a P2 or ex no.4...

[entity]

Looking forward to the smoking on friday. Will try to "reserve" some seats. Seems like lots of people got stuff planned that night at my place. I'm STILL nursing a sore throat and cough. Hope it goes away by then. If not, i'll be smoking the "lousier" smokes. Dun want to waste the "good" ones. Anyone who wants to come earlier, please let me know.

[Throttle]

I would like to recommend that the following (not for beginners) so that you guys dont get bored with the usual fare.

 

The definitely-worth-a-try list

===================

Trinidad Reyes

Partagas 898

Ramon Gigantes

Vegas Robaina Famoso

Cuaba distinguidos

La Gloria Cubana Medaille Dor No. 2

[Throttle]

Hey this old man, where from?

do come in often to check when we are having a mid week gathering so you can join us.

[Nightstalker]

had a bolivar pc the other day, courtesy of thesquid. not a very complex smoke, and draw was a tad tighter than i'd preferred. but its still gd nonethless. full flavors kicked in at the last third of it. its in my list of 'to buy' smokes... still havent decided on wat to buy yet

[Throttle]

I forgot to mention.

 

The Bolivar PC is another one of those which seems to smoke much better only if aged. takes at least 4 - 5 years of aging. The strength of the Bolivar PC mellows and the bitterness goes away with aging. The complexity greatly increases with age as well although it is still by no means classified a complex cigar, you are most right. had the pleasure of smoking a 98 Bolivar PC the other night , courtesy of a colleague who bot a box from La Casa

 

Get the Coloniales if you are willing to spend a bit. One of the best small cigars in the market, i must say. I have something good for the exchange tomorrow, heh heh. small but good (highly recommended)

[Guest TheSquid]

eh... got a little problem. :cheeky:

 

anyway for us to meet earlier tomorrow? hehehehhe

[entity]

If you guys want to meet earlier, i'm fine with it. Throttle, Nightstalker, can come to play tennis if you want. You guys have my number, just give me a call. TheSquid, ask either Throttle or Nightstalker for my number if you need to contact me.

[Throttle]

If you guys are game enough, i'm fine.

 

But friends lost all my tennis balls so now only got 2 rackets.

[Nightstalker]

same here, i only have my racket. left my shoes and tennis balls at my fren's place. dun think i'll be playin though. wanna let my ankle rest for another wk or so...

[Throttle]

oh.....

 

it's ok we smoke out then.

Any other things we can do?

 

I'll actually be free from 5 onwards.

[Sev]

tonight i afraid i can't stay out too late, tomorrow 6am driving to Penang...

[Throttle]
