On the Big Island, I found 2 shops without looking too hard. The King Kamehameha Mall has a small liquor store with a small cigar selection. On the north tip of the island, in a small town called Hawi, is Mother's. They had a nice selection, though still a bit small. They had some of the Island...

Not NEARLY enough, however many it is (yeah, I bought some off cbid once. Once!) :ss

I didn't care much for any of the X000 series either, and I tried to give them a chance. I do like the Anniversary series though, the '64 more so than the '26. Joe

Nice review; the camaroon wrapper is one of my favorites, but the maduro is good too. Joe

Thanks Andrew. It's really something to be able to hang out with people you'd never otherwise cross paths with, just because of a love for cigars. It was great to get to meet you and Sam. My thanks to both of you for making time to hang out, and also for the cigar. CS and its members are the...

Just a shout-out to the Vegas folks. I'll be here till Thursday morning. I'm getting ready to head over to Don Pablo now. Hit Casa Fuente late last night after I got here. I'm supposed to eat with our vendor tomorrow, but will probably be free after 8. Any suggestions on places to hit besides...

I bought a bundle of Fine Catch last month; it's not bad at all. I'm letting most of it sit a bit though. I'm going after some more, and will also try Top Hat as well.

I picked up a '90 perfecto at Shwab's, in Lexington, KY a couple of weeks ago. VERY good cigar!

I think you'll enjoy the Benchmade, Ryan, especially at the price :tu. My local guy got them in a few weeks ago, and I really like them.

I tried a bundle of Fine Catch in the Bass size; it's pretty decent. Getting ready to order another, along with the Top Hat, based on a recommendation from a Gorilla here.

Doc Stogie had a great interview on this company a little while back. Being a KY resident, I decided I needed to try them out and see if I could support a "local". We went to Lexington this past week, and my wife's uncle took me to a B&M called Shwab's, where I found this elusive brand (along...

Nice review! I've about finished my box of maduro robustos, from Mom's, and have been very pleased with them. I'm thinking of buying a box of natural torps next, if they have them. Joe

I like them also, one of my first box purchases. I also like the corojo wrapper. My local B&M just got in some claro wrapper stock, so I picked up a few.

My B&M got these, and a few other sizes, in this month, and I picked a few of the lanceros up. I smoked one Thursday, and I have to say I agree with you. Just not that impressive. I also didn't think it was very strong. I'll let the others sit a few weeks, and revisit them; might change my mind.

Doc, that was VERY cool! Thank you for searching that guy out and talking to him. Gonna have to try some now. Joe
