Your latest CC Purchase?

[Akela3rd]

Rafael Gonzales Perlas 50 cab (German LCdH issue only). Fortunately the warning stickers come off really really easily, making it much more aesthetically pleasing. The cigars themselves are from 2013 according to the seller though the differing bands indicate that the years may vary 2012/2013?

Picked these up today. Trinidad Ingenios, Bolivar Tesoros, and Cohiba Lanceros.

Are those MdO #2s?

[JohnS]

A quarter box split of Punch Regios de Punch 2017 Limited Edition cigars. They are only 120 mm and 48 ring gauge in size, a little smaller than a Hermosos No.4 (48 ring gauge x 127 mm or a El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme, H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1 or Por Larranaga Picadores size).

Also got a box of them sitting back home in Germany, haven’t had a chance yet to look at them.

Interesting that they littelrally just opened some other boxes and chucked them into the 50 cabs without even caring for the bands. That would have not required too much more of an effort!

But hey, you get some aged little sticks that are good for short breaks or while working in the garden at a good price in a unique box.

Enjoy them!

It would appear that the cigars are from cardboard 5-packs as they are not box pressed and, in my cab, there is a 20/30 spilt between bands. [mention=28516]fugu[/mention] had the info/idea regarding this a while back on another thread and it appears to be correct. Personally, I'm fine with it and really looking forward to getting through them, happy in the knowledge that more are potentially only a week away

According to what I've seen in my own stock, it seems the older bands had been in use in cardboard boxes well into 2012, perhaps up unitil early 2013. The dressboxes were sporting the new bands earlier. So, I think it is safe to say - and given you guys report on no visible boxpress (don't call any 50-cab my own) - that these are indeed 2012/13 cardboard sticks.

Still smoking a lot of my '12 original cardboard stock, which I even don't bother about re-packing - and they are such great little sticks. Always tasty and construction is never an issue.

These just arrived. Have not read much about them in the review Dept. Gonna let them rest a month or so since they're supposed to have a lot of age on them. A gift from a friend.

I need better friends haha

So it looks like Mel and Meg decided to drop by again. Did I say I loaded up on this cigar last week? Always explore new smokes, but go deep on what you like. 

Trinidad Topes x 2

MEL OCT 16 / MEG SEP 16

Let them rest in your humidor for 30 days, it really does make a difference. Low 60's on the humidity.

took a couple months and many detours, but these finally arrived.

[ElJavi76]

Edmundo Dantes Conde Bélicosos Exclusivo México x 2 (2016)

I didn't bother to take off the copious amounts of stickers on the boxes to search out the box code. I'll likely kick the tires on this tomorrow or over the weekend.

Happy smoking gents!

[SigmundChurchill]

Some really nice, dark CoRos from a 24:24 just arrived.
