Popular Post Reevzy Posted August 23, 2014 Popular Post Posted August 23, 2014 A few weeks back there was a fair collection of aged stock up for grabs and I spent most of a week telling myself that saving for a home loan deposit was more important. Whisky persuaded me otherwise. So one Saturday night I snatched a box of Punch DC's. PAS MAR 01 With my head hung in shame I can honestly admit that I only found out that I had bought them the following Monday (haven't done that in a while ). With a week of regret followed by two weeks of anticipation as they rested I can now say that this is one purchase that I really am over the moon about. It's been a lovely sunny afternoon in Melbourne and I've spent the last two to three hours in utter bliss. Smooth refined bellowing smoke that was all milk coffee and roasted nuts with a hint of citrus towards the back half. Leaving me with a ridiculously happy feeling knowing that I'll be sitting on another 24 of these babies for quite some time to come. This isn't a review as such, just my view on the thrill of being a part of this community and being able to bid/buy on some seriously good cigars and being convinced of the fact that you can spend your hard earned cash on a box that you know you can have confidence in and enjoy immensely for a while to come. With that said, to all new members who are thinking twice about joining in, whether it be LFTW or LFTH, 12:12, whatever, jump in (read the rules first of course), it really is a great deal of fun and enjoyment........ even if you can remember doing it or not! Thank you FOH 13
madandana Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 A romantic story of drunken debotchery with a happy ending.
leftimatic Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Well as I always say its better to wish you hadn't done something, than to wonder about what you have not. Nice score. Nice post and good luck with the house.
MontrealRon Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Nice! I guess "in vino veritas" applies to whiskey as well... My first box of DCs was a '01 Punch, bought fresh in Cuba. Good young, better later, superb now. Still have most of the box; smoke 1 or two per year. Great score, brother!
rtrimbath Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I had a pretty big problem with blacking out and buying stuff online in my college days. It was fun getting a surprise in the mail every other week though!
Habana Mike Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Nice. I find a majority of my purchase decisions are made later in the evening too.
joeypots Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Cigars will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no cigars. If you know the origin of that quote and it's correct wording you are over 50. Al least.
Habana Mike Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 While I suspect you are referring to Fat Freddy from the FFFB *cough*dope*cough* , the original quote was written by Gilbert Shelton: "Books will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no books" Bingo on the age by the way! 1
TheLiquidGator Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 There is a reason they serve free booze in Vegas and at auctions. It lubricates the wallet.
Pilsner14 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Jealous. Might have to break out the whiskey tonite. Clicky, clicky!
Rye Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Yeah, I've made a few "influenced" decisions here. It's made for an assortment that I normally wouldn't have
imangelo Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 This post was a winner from the second I read the title

I was referring to Fat Freddy and I would have bet that the author is R Crumb. Great info, thanks!
Guyman1966 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 While you are admitting to buying the smokes... one has to wonder what you might be leaving out LOL
NastyPirate Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Leaving me with a ridiculously happy feeling knowing that I'll be sitting on another 24 of these babies for quite some time to come. Thank you FOH But, in your apartment. On the other hand, I have been known to do the same thing
Lasabar Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I've done this.... At least "Drunk Me" has good taste 1
