Your latest CC Purchase?

[GVan]

Just came in today - wow - these dark, oily wrappers remind me of the Punch Punch of old!  The first one I ever had was playing Merion.  I was with a member and he offered me a Cuban Punch Punch.  It was the darkest, oiliest cigar I'd ever seen.  By the Par 3, 9th hole I was almost high on the nicotine kick.  Putting these away away a 3 to 4 year nap!

Boxing clever @JohnS.  I have a feeling a tubo aged Royales may end up being a very special thing indeed.  Thats if you can keep your hands off them.

You understand me well, it seems @99call! It's very hard to keep my hands off these tasty morsels!

Edit: man this pic really looks bad now that I've posted it

Cohiba Coronas Especiales. Managed to get a LTO MAR 2020. I wonder how close these were rolled prior to the world shutting down.

A box of H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1 arrived today with the old bands. GEM OCT 21 looks nice but between the 0°C temp and my post Covid “sense” of smell, I can’t rate the aroma. Ah, 2022…

[cgoodrich]

One of those unicorns…

Monte Especial 2 SOP NOV 21. Strong barnyard and chocolate aroma. Down for a nap they go.

[Fezztone]

Just picked up 2 boxes of the QdO Clemenceau in Paris. They have 8 boxes left, and only 2 per customer. Literally stumbled in this place after visiting the Catacombs.  It’s about a 20 min walk. Very friendly staff and an authorized retailer. As a side note, Romeo y Julieta are easy to find in all the shops I had researched prior to visiting. 
If you are around make a visit. You can also enjoy a cigar at Cafe Ernest around the corner.

While all the kids on the block were hunting for Easter eggs, a few surprises showed up on my porch as well. RASS cab (TUA OCT 21)  from our host and a Partagas Lusitanias cabinet as well (BUP SEP 19)

Hear me out...this time I do have @Kaptain Karl to blame for one of these boxes. Too many posts lately about the Lusitanias (including the Karl posts about how good they were) so I saw a good opportunity and took it.

I can’t feel guilty for helping someone make a good decision 😆

Would love to see a comparison on the two Churchills on your journal! Kinda wish that RyJ would just revert all of the Churchill branding back to the old branding for the Churchill like they did for the Anejados. Such a cleaner and more regal look.

I miss the older style too. I'll have those (cigars listed above) published at the end of this week.

I will await your reviews with bated breath. Internally fighting myself over getting a regular box of Churchills for nice occasions against the desire to have the old branding in tubos (and considerably more $) simply because that exact cigar and look/feel was my entry into the cigar world. The mind is a weird one sometimes.

Today’s mail brought the following box from the FOH team, perfect wrappers and aroma! 🔥😍

A box of beauties from our host

@Eric05 man those wrappers look nice and oily. I also love Hibiki and Macallan. I’ve only had a couple of drinks for the 17 year Hibiki man that stuff is good. I normally just get the standard Hibiki harmony. Good stuff you got there. Good taste.

Hibiki is pretty good. I also have the 21. Haven’t touched it.
