OK, I'm pretty pumped. I stopped at the B&M and had a real nice visit there. They didn't have a large selection of small cigars, but the ones I did buy I think will be very nice. I got an Illusione 68 (4" x 44rg), a Don Pepin Garcia black label Perla (4 1/2" x 40rg), and a RP Vintage 1990 petit corona (4 1/2" x 44rg).
You may recall a couple weeks ago I made a post about feeling "hurried" by shop employees when I was in the humidor. Some of you suggested that I start some discussion with the shop keeper. Well I did, and you were right. Not only was he helpful, but offered that he liked the RP Vintage, but that it wasn't spicy, more mild. But based upon his recommendation I bought it anyhow. He also signed me up for their email mailing list so I will know when they have events and promotions. This visit was MUCH nicer than the last one. :tu
OK, I've eaten some beef roast, veggies and potatoes, have a Nevada Pale Ale, the family is out for the evening, and I'm off to smoke the Illusione. I'll post my review later. Thanks to everyone for your recommendations!! :cb
