    TXMatt’s Ultimate Perfecto Whore List

    Just a friendly bump. I had been thinking about this for awhile and finally did a search. So, just in case anybody else had been wondering the same thing :ss Also, any updates to the list from anybody?

    How you spend your time

    I asked this question in the pipe forum, but I find it's just as relevant, or even more so, in here. Do you find yourself spending more time reading about, researching, shopping for, and discussing cigars than you actually do smoking them. For me, it's too often the case. Does anybody else...

    is it a rut?

    This was almost to a T what I was thinking. I also find that since the number of times that I can smoke are always limited, I always pick what I know will be an enjoyable experience, as opposed to taking the risk on not enjoying it. Good job! :tu

    Great deal at JRCigar

    I saw these in the catalog as well. At one time, I thought the Ultimo was an amazing smoke. Then, my B&M stopped carrying them. Since then, I picked up the Brioso's, and they just did not taste as good to me. I haven't re-tried the brand since. Does anybody else have experience with this...

    Don Elias Experience

    Welcome to the forum. Interesting post. It just shows that everybody has different tastes. For me, these are the absolute worst, bar none, cigar that I have ever smoked. I have had 3 at various times. The longest with 6 months in the humi. Zero change whatsever. Every time, consistently...

    Best Cedar Wrapped Cigar

    I've tried a couple of the Torano 1916 Cameroon's. They really didn't do much for me. They tasted kind of flat. I would like to try all of the opus' and anejo's et al, although they are way out of my price range. Are there other suggestions people have? On a side note, to thread jack my...

    Rocky Patel cigars - opinions...

    http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=179118 I think this thread pretty much sums up my opinion about Rocky. However, like others have said, it's really how it tastes for you. Although, beware of the wrapper dye coming off (if it's a maduro). You've been warned :ss

    Cuesta-Rey? Any Lovers?

    For the few I've had, they are a good Fuente based brand. The only reason I don't buy them more often is that the flavor (which I find to be on par with Fuente's regular line) does not justify the price markup. Although, I might have to go try another and see. It's been awhile :ss

    Padron 3000

    No, I've always wanted to try one, but I could never bring myself to spend $45 on a bundle of cigars that I had never tried before. I've always heard great things, so maybe one day. However, they have been, from what I remember, out of stock or on backorder for some time now. So, I'm sure...

    Padron 3000

    I'm not sure if you had the natural or maduro. However, I believe the maduro is the best smoke for the price that you can get, from most any manufacturer. Then gain, that's my opinion :ss Unfortunately, I spend so much time and money trying to find a similar stick with a similar flavor...

    Funny Taste in my Cigars

    It's probably because it's from Rocky: http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=179118 Sorry, I couldn't resist! :r

    I'm done with Rocky Patel Blends

    I have never, ever had this issue. Now, this cigar was a maduro. So, I can't speak for his natural sticks. So, if you've only smoked the naturals from Rocky, then I'm sure there's never been an issue. My discovery was specific to the R4 Maduro. But, it does make me question his entire line.

    I'm done with Rocky Patel Blends

    Well, while this post has gone to a place that i would have never imagined, at least it was entertaining :tu Fortunately, I only have 3 Rocky cigars left. Although, one is an OWR maduro. So, I guess some more dye is in my future :mad: I have been interested in trying the sun growns after...

    I'm done with Rocky Patel Blends

    Today was the last day for me and Rocky. I had an R4 maduro that I had to use a napkin the entire time in order to wipe off the dye from my lips. Now, I expect this when I have my Phillie's Titan with maduro. However, I do not expect this from a major manufacturer. This also isn't the...

    Arrhythmia ruining my hobby :(

    I'm really sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I don't have any information, only wishes of best luck to finding out how to fix/control the issue. While it may be disappointing if you do have to give up, ultimately, your health is what's important. Why not try the pipe and see if it makes...

    No, but I am taking donations :D Although, I do think your point's valid. Maybe someday.....

    I have discovered low humidity!

    I just wish I wasn't so scared to try this out. I was always brought up in the 70% humidity world. And while I knew all of the touting of lower humidities on the forum, when it came time to get beads, I just couldn't pull the trigger on the 65%. I've heard that storing it lower allows the...

    Padron 3000

    Nice review! This was the first cigar that I could ever actually taste flavor differences with each puff. They might be one of the best cigars for the money. Unfortunately, I've spent much of my money trying other cigars, and they never quite measure up. Now, If I could just save some money...

    Linkedin Club Stogie Group Created

    Those are all good points. I agree with their tenor. My concern was really the initial impression it made, not necessarily whether it was good or bad. But, certainly, each to their own. And, I'm still glad to be a member (even if I don't show it :ss) Thanks for putting this together.

    Linkedin Club Stogie Group Created

    Count me in! One question for everybody, though. I ended up not including clubstogie as one of my groups on my profile. The reason being is that I generally consider this a professional site, and I'm not sure I want potential employers viewing that. Any thoughts? Or am I just :chk :mn away!
