Cigar Hauls

Great idea, Zed! I’m sure you’ll share pics as it progresses, yes?

As what progresses ? Not sure of your statement. I just took 2 different bundles of 2 (so 100 cigars total) and made 2 wheels. These are definitely going away for a bunch of years.

Ah. I thought you were actually going to construct a cabinet for them. Thanks...

My second set of cigars bought from the liquidation sale. I am most eager to try the Jesus Fuego 22*/83* sticks. None of the boxes were full, but there are 13 of the 888s, 9 of the Ortega Serie D, and 8 of the Fuegos, plus the 5 JJ Maduros. Whee!

Beautiful!

A selection of cigars after my final (???) order through Craig’s friend. Yeah, my “cigar budget” has really taken a hit, but the amount I spent through the sale is WAY lower than what I would have paid online or at a store. Plus, most of these have been sitting quite awhile and some (like the Lou Rodriguez’ and the J Fuegos) are not to be found again, or not readily acquired (the 8-10 Cuban cigars I bought). Total win.

Glad to see people with space and budget 'helping' a BOTL out who, without said assist, woulda been stuck with a lot of really flammable decorations otherwise. A win for all

Very much excited with my haul from Craig’s friend. Thank him for me!

Stoked they showed up so quickly and that you're excited about them. Best thing to hear for a middle man.

A package arrived today from DC. His message to me was quite funny, and there are some cigars here that I haven’t tried yet. Of note, the famed “Kip Sticks” are included in this package! Extremely grateful for this bomb, DC, and for this forum! Blessed weekend to you all!

I broke my new years resolution of not buying on Cbid for this little bundle. Mainly I did this because I think AJ Fernandez took a cigar I loved- Pueblo Dominicano- that had a name/branding that wasn't necessarily his and turned it into this Diesel line (Diesel Rage). Looking at the blend (sun grown oscuro wrapper - nic binder and fillers) it is seems very similar to the Pueblo Dominicano that AJ also made, but the Pueblo name-as stated- I think was borrowed. Thus repackaging, sizes offered, and maybe even tweaking a good blend. -The PD had some dominican tobacco in it as well methinks... Either way a smart move in that Diesel is one of his cigar babies and a line people really seem to seek. Also he can maybe get a better price point with such more established brand name? If it is as I suspect the news could make me a very happy person.

Also I got a steal on a 5-er of John Bull Bulldogs...The legend lives on!

Like a fool I wandered onto Cigarbid the other day. The ensuing results are in the photo. Not a bad haul for $50 (20 cigars and 2 literal cigar punches), but I am disappointed in myself. I was gonna try to go all year without a purchase until the holidays, but have failed twice now. Here and earlier when I got some 5ers of Diesel Rage to try and see if they reminisce of Pueblo Dominicano (spoiler=they do ).

These will go down for a minimum 90 day nap and I anticipate trying them all for the first time in Fall (prime porch smoking weather-usually).
