Ron Jeremy came into the cigar bar I was at one night, does that count? :w

Nice place, went there during my bachelor party but the prices will make you puke. :pu Most of the cigars there are easily 3 to 4 times over MSRP. If I remember, the Opus A's were $75ea. I got a couple of the house cigars there and the corona gorda, which was the cheapest, was $18. Still it is...

OK, that was quick, the cigars go to Dannyboy, congrats! :w

Went through my humidor last night and I found a bunch of old Macanudo Golds that I'd like to get rid of. My wife says she hates the smell of them and me, not sure why I bought them in the first place. They have probably about 2 years worth of age of them and they aren't bad cigars just not my...

Going there in September for my bachelor party, closer to that time I'll post and ask if anyone wants me to pick them up a couple though I have to agree that prices are "OUCH!" I read that an AF13 is $125! Someone gave me some good advice when it came to Vegas and cigars, "BRING YOUR OWN...

I used to work part time in a cigar shop during college and I was lucky enough to have a manager that let us sample stuff so we knew what we were talking about to customers. I smoked a '79, '88, and '93's before and I have to say they are good cigars but kind of overpriced. The store eventually...

I read this on some other cigar board about this "supposed" method of irradicating cigar beetles. Let me tell you definitively this is a HORRIBLE idea! One day out of pure curiousity I decided to give it a whirl. Now remember what a microwave does is speed up the water molecules to heat things...

I have smoke the maduro and it is basically the same blend as the 1926's, imagine a 1964 with some more umph. It is very full-bodied and great flavor but it packs a punch especially this size because it is by far the largest vitola in the line. Most places sell it now for $25 a stick, the $40...

Are we sure these are 55's, the torpedos, because $7.50 is below MSRP and I have never seen a retailer sell Fuente ware BELOW MSRP. Maybe they didn't know what they had?!

It is a good cigar but I am not sure it is worth the price. Just buy a couple of sticks of the regular line and set them aside for like 5 years and presto! Partagas Limited Reserves or set them aside for 20+ and whammo, Partagas 150's. ;)

I got the 2nd set that came out with the pigtail Opus in the glass tubes. I have no idea what Fuente is trying to do with these sets because the one you are referring to is now the THIRD one of this series. This one is the so-called "Platinum" edition. I don't think the cigars are any different...

I like something clean like vodka but that is just me. Don't smoke it on an empty stomach though, it'll do a number on you. :pu

I agree with your assessment that it is a well made cigar but often commands a price much higher than its actual worth or value. I got some when they first came around in 99-00? for about $5 a stick, now, who knows what they go for?! I think it is the rarity that is driving the price but it is...
