Cigars Cigars Cigars

[entity]

Guys, I'm probably meeting Throttle for cigars (hint: Epicure No. 2) tomorrow afternoon (7th Jan) in town. Anyone interested to join us?

[Sev]

not available tomorrow afternoon, but wanted to collect the epi no 2, let me know where you meet, so i collect the smoke. :cheer:

 

give some review after you smoke the epi no2.

 

now my school started, only free on weekend or Wednesday night.

[Nightstalker]

wat time u guys meetin in town tom? throttle sms me abt tom's meetin. i've got nth on, so i'll join u guys for a smoke and to collect the epi2 as well. hehe...fire in the hole!

[Throttle]

i would suggest, just after lunch at about 1pm.

 

We can meet around Borders area and proceed to the hilton perhaps?

 

Will call you guys tomorrow to confirm.

[Throttle]

the Hoyo Epi2 performed well straight from the box albeit less strength then our regular smokes.

 

location is quite ideal if we all are nearby town considering amount of candy available to the eye.

 

great stuff:bouncefire:

[Nightstalker]

yup... the epi2 was surprisingly smokable rite out of the box, though i had a rather uneven burn. lots of smoke, and the sweetness came after the 1st third. a mild cigar perfect for an afternoon smoke, which was my first.

the ample supply of eye candy certainly enhanced the exp. haha... though the fact tat pple ard us didnt really like the smell did bring my enjoyment down a notch.

[Sev]

sorry for my late arrived and thanks throttle for the great cigars.

 

was taking MRT because raining that's why i was late...

 

Border cafe seems like a good place to chill out, lots of candy een i just walk pass...

[Throttle]

but did you notice that the two girls seated one table away from us moved closer to the next table beside us when we were all smoking?

 

heh heh heh.

 

generally cigars drive girls away though.

sorry to get you lads involved, hohohohoh

[Nightstalker]

of...tat 2 ladies ah? they were sittin in the sun, tats y they had to shift in towards us. not becos they like the smell of cigars la. hehe...

 

as for cigars being anti-babes, im sure there must be some out there who dun mind the smoke. tats up to us to slowly convert them eh? i've already suceeded in doin so wif some of my frenz. :cheer:

[Throttle]

...aiyoh...nitestalker, why you let the cat out of the bag...

hahahahah

 

I like to think that they could have shifted away from the sun as well as away from us.

 

 

anyway, i remembered many years back when i was in VelvetUnderground sitting on a nice big armchair sofa in the main area. There were a few babes hanging around, but once i lit my cigar and started smoking, they all "siam"....

 

HOHOHO

 

[Throttle]

excellent herf tonight......

[Nightstalker]

nice place to blow smoke rings.

 

gd ambience. perfect lightin and soothin music to set the mood...

[entity]

Very nice place you have there, Throttle. Nicest home I've seen. Thanks for having us over and for the Upmann No. 2.

[Throttle]

glad you all enjoyed. will be going to Jkt next week and medan the following week so schedule looking very tight. anyway, keep in contact if anything. cheers

 

p.s. we forgot to take a pic and post it here...

[Sev]

seems like i missed a wonderful gathering...

 

still got no time to smoke the epi no 2 yet...

 

now HDM cabinet series also got the cigar band? i remember last time i bought from Oaks all epi no2 has no band.

[entity]

Sev, cabinet series for all Cubans used to be unbanded. But from 2005 batch onwards (I think!), Cubatobacco decided to put bands on ALL Cuban cigars. The Epicure No. 2s are from the 2005 batch. Thus, they're banded.

 

Guys, the Lusis are here. If we cannot gather to meet this week, then probably after Throttle comes back from Medan.

[Nightstalker]

oh ya... we forgot to take pics. come to think of it, we've never taken pics on any of our other outings anyway. nvm. there'll be more outings to come

 

sev, u did miss out on a fun outing. a pity u couldnt make it.

[Sev]

thanks for the info entity...

we can meet this week or wait for throttle to come back, i'm alright for it.

 

next time i'll bring camera for our gathering, we did took photo at our very first sbf cigar meet, that time was with nubergames & intruder, now no news for them liao...

[Throttle]

yap, quite a few other cabinet cigars in the past including the Upmann Mag 46, Partagas 898 were also unbanded. now all banded to increase brand awareness.

 

i realy feel like doing one tonight but i know i should not smoke so much

Not been to the forums for a long while and certainly find the information here useful! The smoke I am craving for is Trinidad Reyes, had one smoke on someone else's cigar and loved it...sure hope to get a complete one for myself soon. A friend also recommened me St Luis Rey (coronas I think) and Ramon Allones (robusto for this one I think). Anyone who has smoked these do let me know if it's good..thanks!

[Throttle]

Reyes, i just smoked one a few days ago.

I like Reyes quite a lot, it is my regular small cigar for now.

St Luis Rey, i only smoked the REgios long ago, no impression becos i didnt find it that good. not lousy but not that good.

 

Ramon Allones Specially Selected (Robusto size) is a fairly good cigar in my books. I wont buy a box of these but dont mind singles. you may prefer the Ramon Allones Gigantes (Double corona)

 

I am smoking a Partages Mille Fleur right now! Was reaching for a reyes but decided to have a change of taste. hohohoho

[PersonaMaxx]

Maybe it was the cut or something but I liked how smooth the Reyes was...generally can't go too wrong with a Paratagas

[Throttle]

care to intro?

yup... u cant really go wrong wif a partagas. so far i've tried the D4, P2 and shorts. but im tryin to refrain from buyin anymore partagas cos i want a little variety.

 

the fonseca no. 1 i tried last nite was another value-for-money smoke. had a beany taste halfway, which died off towards the end. first time i had a cigar tat tasted like tat. not too bad...

[Throttle]

OK fellas, here's a deal.

 

I have a Romeo Y Julieta 125th anniversario (replica) Humidor for sale.

Humidor was imported from US. There is a very slight chip on the humidor so I am putting this up for bid below cost.

 

Starting Bid S$100

Size is for 25 Double coronas so you can store more than cigars if the vitola is smaller. Color is dark wood lacquer with handpainted picture of Romeo and Julieta

Humidor does not come with humidifier nor hygrometer

 

I will post pic as soon as available.
