bigfunkyg Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hello Friends of Habanos, I just recently joined the forum. I have been a aficionado for 7 years or so. I am rather excited because the snow is gone and cottage season is upon us where I enjoy the majority of my cigars at the family cottage in the beautiful Whiteshell Provincial Park. I do try and smoke somewhat frequently in the winter in my smoking buddies garage thanks to several propane heaters, but it still isn't quite the same. I have been to Cuba once and the majority of my humidor is stocked with Habanos from friends, family and co-workers who have vacationed in Cuba who bring my back. I was fortrunate to receive 5 boxes direct from Cuba in March thanks to a co-worker who called himself my "Cuban Cigar Donkey". Here is what is currently in the humidor: Romeo Y Julietta Short Churchills Montecristo Tubos Montecristo #4 Montecristo #2 Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios Cohiba Robusto Romeo Y Julietta Petit Coronas Padron 1964 Exclusivo (Maduro and Natural) Avo Maduro Pirimades Joyo de Nicaragua Celebracion Toro The humidor is powered by a Cigar Oasis XL which has been a great investment. I am currently getting desperate to try both the Bolivar Belicosos Finos and Royal Corona. As well my stock of Cohiba Robustos and Monte #2's is dangerously low and I would like to get my hands on another box of Punch Punch. Purchasing Cuban cigars here is insanely expensive thanks to a 75% provincal tobacco tax although we have one very reputable Tobacconist in the city. I have been weighing trying some on-line options but am aware that I might still get dinged with the tax. I enjoy almost any single malt with my cigars and occasionally port. I was recently had Ron Zapaca Run (both the 23 and 25 year old) on a vacation and was absolutely blown away. If you try these don't try the 25 year old before the 23 because it isn't even a fair comparision, however the 23 stands up to any aged rum I have ever had. I look forward to participating in this community. bigfunkyg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rckymtn22 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Welcome to FOH! Have you dried out yet? CC cigars are almost as cheap as getting them from Cuba so make room in your humidor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
