  1. I found the PC the best smoke out of the 4; obviously personal preference.
  2. Lit up another BPC today and same thing; started running badly right off the bat. Ran about 3/4" and about 2mm wide. Smoked a Mini #4 yesterday and as usual, smoked and burned like a dream. Maybe they should talk??😉
  3. Out of the four I tried, the N4 was my favorite; may have to get a box. All sizes did burn/smoke very nicely, but the N4 had a little more "punch", which I prefer.
  4. Parti Shorts are one of my favorites and I also had some issues with them in my last box last year. They seemed to really vary along with color, burn and flavor; also had some burning challenges. Ill let the BPC age some more and just smoke the Monti's as they have all been outstanding and very consistent.
  5. Bolivar PCs used to be one of my top smokes. I purchased a box last year on here and 2 more this year and I'm halfway through my second box. Really disappointed in the burn and quality. Almost every one frequently goes out 2-3 times and runs badly. I am constantly trying to get them burning right. Also, taste is not what it used to be. Anyone else experiencing this? On the other end, I also got boxes of Monti #2, #3 and #4 and every one has burned perfectly and has smoked outstanding.
  6. They look much bigger than a PC in that pic.
  7. Thanks again; Phil is going to hook me up! One of each to try and determine what bundles to get.
  8. Great, probably not any way to try one first; meaning any singles available? Thank you and congrats again!
  9. I love my cubans and have yet to smoke a NC that compares, but these have me tempted. I like a med/full flavorful cigar. Are they shipping from Australia or somewhere else? Thank you and congrats!
  10. I don't think that will help these. Every box I have purchased in the past, smoked good when I first received and slightly improved after aging for a few years. I believe I just got a bad box after all these years. Even the dark ones aren't smoking well.
  11. Sounds very similar to mine. I would say wrapper colors are on the lighter side.
  12. Shorts have been one of my all time favorite smokes over the last 15+ years. I love their power and taste. I usually buy the cabinet if available on here. I purchased a box a couple months back on 24:24 and have now smoked about 15 and have to say that I am very disappointed in the quality. They are severely lacking the taste that I have enjoyed immensely and either burn so fast/hot, that smoke is pouring from the tip like a torch, or they won't draw at all and need to be discarded. Their taste is almost straw like. Did I just get a bad box after all these years or are others experiencing this as well? Thanks!
  13. Im rooting for St, Pete, but would be good to see a UNC/Duke final after what UNC did to them in conference playoffs.
  14. They sure did! Looked good and their scrappy play was the difference. Strong offensive rebounding and loose ball wins had a huge impact and they hit big shots. Nova also looked good and beat a strong Michigan team.
  15. St. Joseph's University
  16. Sounds like we have quite a few college basketball fans on here. There have been some great games going down to the wire along with the usual upsets. I was fortunate to play 4 years of Division 1 basketball, in which we won over 100 games and made the NCAA Tournament 2 times and NIT once. My freshman year, we were the cinderella story, making it to the Elite 8 after upsetting the #! undefeated team in the nation. They still play that clip on the last 15 seconds on TV during March. It was an amazing feeling and gave me memories that I still cherish. I was fortunate to be drafted in the 3rd round of the NBA draft and played professionally about 7 years in the US and overseas, again with memories that will never leave me. Good luck to everyone with your teams, should be another great round later this week.
  17. Thank you, I have had RyJ in the past and enjoyed them.
  18. Been a long time customer of FOH and have mostly purchased Robustos, coronas and some torpedos. I'm a big fan of the Partagas Shorts, Monte #5's and Bolivars. I recently purchased a box of the Monte #2's for my son's HS graduation at the suggestion of my wife, which I still can't believe because fairly recent #2's were not that great IMO. I like a med-full bodied flavorful smoke. I now have some more time on my hands and looking for a longer smoke like a Churchill size or similar would be. What are some good suggestions? Thank you!
  19. Store my fly tying stuff in them.
  20. My wife is already mad at all my cigar box purchases from FOH over the last few weeks. $10,000 would be the last straw. ?
  21. I smoked a Bolivar CE earlier today that I purchased from FOH about 10 years ago. It was from Oct 2007 and was wonderful. Lots of mushroom, nuts and some toast and caramel.
  22. Agree and have a cab on the way I purchased on here. Look forward to trying them and see how they compare to my favorite; Part Shorts.
  23. Got my first Pfizer vaccine this morning in Phila along with my mom.
  24. Awesome, I picked up a box from 24:24 last week.
