Popular Post stogieluver Posted May 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2017 We had a great two weeks in Italy. Thought I would post a photo of a few things I managed to fit into the limited space in my luggage. I say "limited space" because, after shipping home 35 pounds of clothing and other assorted unneeded items from Florence (second of the three cities we visited) to free up more luggage space for the trip home, the wifey proceeded to fill up the newly available space with assorted new purses, etc. Florence smells like fine Italian leather. She definitely needed more purses. I was allowed the two boxes of Italian regionals and a very nice leather overnight bag. No complaints. Anyway, here's the booty I managed to bring back, in addition to some great memories of a wonderful once in a life time trip. Had to get a sample of the Tuscano's, and the two boxes of Siglo I's are gifts for friends. Most excited to be able to bring back the two bottles of HC, and the two boxes of Italian regionals: 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooseAMuffin Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Great pic! Those regionals and that rum look fantastic. Good to hear the vacation went well! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drguano Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Looks good! Are the La Escepcions readily available or were you smiled upon by the cigar deities? I am headed for the Amalfi Coast in a few weeks for the AmiCigar gathering and hope the wife will steer clear of the purse shops. Anyone else going?

Gaetano told me he had just received the shipment, but didn't say how many boxes he received. I got one of 'em. HurtTim had just been in there the week before, with no luck.

I was going to go back and take photos and send them to you, but never got back to them. What do you think about these regionals? Good ROTT, or need some rest? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainQuintero Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Nice stuff! I love a Toscano Classico, sweet sticky dates in spades. Aroma at cold is a bit off-putting unless you're expecting dung-smoked meat. I wasn't overly keen on some of the other Toscanos though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Don Jose, LFDC is not bad in flavor but too small for my regular rotation but price you paid is the cheapest you will find, great pick ups Good to see Bartolomeo name still holding strong in the motherland ????????
