For the cigar smokers

[ssgharkness020147]

Every year when X-mas rolls around there are some sweeeeet cigars that get released. This year was no exception, there were a few things that I could not pass up ,pics will follow with the exception of the OPUS X 2005 release of Lancero's. Which I forgot pics of and smoked one, gave one away.

First up we got the Padron's. 1926 80'th year anniversary series in Maduro. The 26 is one of my favorites.

Here's a good topic. I think CO will be chiming in about now. He the man with the cigar closet.


I remember when I accidentally drove a box of Montes across the border to Moab. I was scared to bring them back so I passed them around. Good times.

While I'm at it I'll throw some pics up of the humidor. It the Savoy cigar family charity humidor from 2006, holds about 150 sticks, but I can only get 85-90 in there.

For humidification I'm running the Cigar Oasis Ultra, if you live in a cold climate of higher altitude this thing is your best friend. I had a Diamond Crown system in there until a couple of months ago, thats a great system, but could not keep up with my needs as the outside temps/humidity levels dropped.

I've got a lot of Gurkha cigars in there. Warriors, ancient warriors, G3's, a couple G5's, salutes (very good, the leaves are brushed with louie 13'th), and of course the Black Diamonds. There is only one shop in the country that I know of for those babies. The list goes on and on. Tons of other stuff, that I'm too tired to list.

Lighters, lighters, lighters. If there is one thing that I am a sucker for at the shop, its lighters. Here's a pic of some of mine, about 5,6,7 of them are missing.

And then there was that last little thing I bought myself for X-mas. The OPUS X 22. Only 500 are released for the holidays, I've 216, and already people are trying to sucker me out of them. Nope. Not gonna happen.

Everytime we cruise, they always have this big thing about not bringing Cubans back into the US. You can buy them, you can smoke them onboard but they can't enter the US. Kind of sucks IMO. I've never had cigars but once or twice but always want to get one just to try it out and say I've had a cuban cigar. I know, I'm

Just take the bands off of the cigars. They have no way of proving their origin without the bands.
