So my friend is coming down from LA. He is not a stranger to CC's but day to day smokes NC's. He is here for a week and will have free run of the humidor and shop. What should he try first? He smokes daily and likes a range of taste profiles and vitolas.

I think a Ramon Allones Extra would be a nice treat. I know I would sure be appreciative if someone started my vacation with one! Nice size, unique flavor profile, an all around great smoke.

Cheers!

I can surely buy him an RA Extra or 1966 but we don't stick them because they move too slow. Good ideas though. Maybe a RASS. I got those.

rush, it was great seeing you again yesterday. Blake liked the RASS and I thought the Upman #2 was a good cigar too. Never had one before. Not overly complex, but not harsh at any time and pretty smooth.

How you can sit out in this heat and not even sweat is beyond me. I guess I have maple syrup in my veins or something.

Thanks again bro, maybe we'll see you again before we head back home.

Glad to hear it. Was good to see you as well. Believe me, I sweat, but I've learned to mitigate it with ice cold cerveza!

Any Corona Gorda for a starter and then work my way up. :yes:

I know I'd like that.

Guy... you are an anachronism! Being one myself, I believe I can candidly comment!!! Cheers my friend.

How about wowing the guy and really mixing up his world with a Monte Especial #2. -the PIg

... and you call yourself a cigar smoker!!! (Please read this with humor, I am just bustin' your balls here a bit!)

It goes like this mate.

My friend, (talking to the guy from LA) I could give you a cigar that all the touristos ask for or I can pluck you fruit from the 'tree of knowledge.' This is what I have picked for you!

Piggy, I've never been much of a collector, more of a buy boxes and smoke and buy more. Down here in ole Mexico I've got nice non tourista stock on the shelves but nothing extra extra special. My wife's storage humidor back in the states has all the good stuff (read as I'm not allowed to touch). Lots of aged goodies and several special humidor releases.

We're enjoying a RASS right now. Allones extra later on deck.

Take care!

Not a collector either mate. Cigars are for smoking!

Now that I have thought about the answer more thoroughly I would have to say that any good Cuban cigar with a mate is special. That is the wonder of them. They are all different and each one is special to someone!

Cheers amigo. -Piggy

It's my buddy's last full day in paradise. We have smoked some gems including a wonderful RASS, and some great monte 2's, monte edmundos, partagas p2s, Boli RC and CG, and too much else to mention. Today he tried his first Edmundo Dantes and tonight will try his first Allones Extra and party lusi. Great end to a great week.

Stopped at LCDH on way to airport so my buddy can fly home. Finishing up trip in style. He is smoking a bolivar French RE and I'm smoking a LGC Imensas. Retail prices, while they suck in general, aren't that bad here compared to PDC.
