A number of the Czar crew were able to meet up in Phoenix for great conversation and a few good cigars. From left to right:
orangedog, maverickdrinker, jacktarnold, Orion, and SurpriseMVP
As is typical for a HERF, I smoked all cigars that were gifted or traded...
From SurpriseMVP - a nice Boli with great burn and traditional flavors, although it fell short of the 2006.
From a BOTL on another board - reminded me of a less pungent version of the Boli 109 German RE - pretty enjoyable:
And from maverickdrinker, a 2010 Monte 2 which screamed baker's chocolate:
If anyone else would like to post their cigars, feel free. There was one Headly Grange that was smoked for about half an inch before becoming ashtray decoration.
Also, we got in right before the Rocky Patel event. Believe me when I say we were ecstatic and all stocked up prior to calling it a night.
