Popular Post clutch5150 Posted October 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2016 15 hours ago, NMJoe said: How I love your ashtray! Will you please provide details on how I can obtain one that is similar? That might be difficult unless you visit a Fijian Island I go to each year on vacation... It was hand crafted for me while in Fiji last June at a locale called Turtle Island from a gentlemen named Sorro. Almost all the wood carvers are from the Fijian Island Fulaga. The men here from early childhood are taught their amazing craft. In fact approx. 98% of ALL wood carvings sold in Fiji, main island (Nandi) and the surrounding islands obtain special wood carvings from Fulaga. Other resorts like Turtle Island employ just a few of these wood workers to make special gifts for their guests. I also have some amazing custom walking sticks that have been made over the years with our visits there. Everything in the ashtray was hand carved from Mahogany and fish bone inlays... Today's smoke is a years rested HDM! It's been a long while since I smoked one of these. The pics on this thread gave me a reminder to dig these out! ....And a few Fiji Turtle Island postcard pics with some special smokes from last June. Edit, when he was carving this, Sorro did not know how wide to make the slots, so I gave him a Behike 54 for the correct dimensions and hard work! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some were plugged and impossible to smoke but the good ones are amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post torsion Posted October 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2016 Evening FoH crew.It's been a few months since I last had one of these from a 5er I bought from a top BOTL (you know who you are!)Not having ever tried the famed Selectos Finos I can't compare but this Don Jose is pretty good.To my palate its comparable to Partagas in the fact there's a savouriness to the blend much like I find with the D4. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzArd Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Got a full box of these at an event near a year ago now.... The first one I had was terrible. Wouldn't stay lit and burned a tunnel right down the center. Annoyed, I left them in the humidor for the past 11 months. About a half inch into this and it seems considerably better. This is not a Cuban classic as labeled, rather my understanding is it's the special blend of sticks given at "My Father" events when you buy a full box of cigars. The B&M that requested a special Cigar for their special event was able to talk the company into using that blend in this 7.5 x50rg stick with maybe 200 boxes produced total. Glad this thing seems to be coming around.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
