Bill and George...hope both of you are doing well. Yea...I like to stockpile...I am a hoarder except I'm knee deep in cigars.

And Yes...George...another humidor is on its way.

Bill...the Suburban humidor is getting put in this week. I'll post pics!

MB’s of all kinds.
I told you that you would have a fantastic time in Las Vegas Jon That city is a blast and the golf courses are beautiful. What course is that one you are playing at? The mountains in the background look beautiful! You enjoy yourself now.

I need to plan a trip back there now

@Bill...Yea brother...you should have seen us on the plane ride back...6 old ****s passed out. I'm just getting my head straight...

@George...that was outside the Vegas proper...Royal Links...really nice course but slow play first nine holes...which made our total of 8hrs of sleep between 7 guys really harsh. We lost 3 players at the turn...they had to crash at the hotel. One guy puked when he got back to the hotel...weak sauce *****!

Here are some smokes from the draft the next day...

Anejo #77...The Shark


Don Carlos 2007 Anniversario


Padron Family Reserve No. 46


After the draft...@ Casa Fuente in Caesar's Palace...Padron 80yr...

^^^ Good stuff JR! I know exactly what your talking about when you say "getting your head straight" after Vegas.. we always go overboard there!

Cool pic of Casa Fuente! I'm sure there was some eye candy there! Love that place.. cool music, drinks and vibe.

Had myself a in house blend from Taylor's Cigar Lounge in Long Beach, Ca. This is one is Maduro wrapped and it was pretty damn good. Good construction even though I can't take a good cell phone pic.

My friend has an incredible "cigar" lounge outside in his back yard. We sat there all night watching college football as his bartender kept bringing us drinks. I keep telling myself, "one day".. I'll take some better pics of his cigar lounge next time.


BTW JR, is the Anejo #77 Shark as good as the reviews? I've been wanting to pull the trigger on that smoke but they are hard to find and $$. Have a good week guys!

JR in Vay-gus?!?! I can only imagine the decadence! Jonny, do you have a separate bag for your sticks when you golf??? You always seem to have a BOX with you when you play! Hahaha...

BD, things are well here in MO, but hot and humid as Hades! It's like Hawaii, just without the sand, water and bikinis! (God, I miss that place). I've been busy taking care of business in LA, drove my vintage bimmer convertible out here to Missouri cuz I need something to work on....Got back here 2 weeks ago and went right to work prepping for a concert with Def Leppard and Poison.

But I've been smoking, too! I actually had to resort to some 'Phillies' on the road driving from LA! hahaha...actually, not too bad for a machine-made! I just nubbed (and I mean, 'nubbed'!) a Rocky Patel Edge toro in maduro.

I need to post some pics....

@JR...I have a small Herf-A-Dor...sturdy and holds the cigars, cutter, and lighter. I keep a humi-pack in there, too.

I picked up a couple of smokes to stock the humi and wanted to try a few highly-rated brands I've never smoked before. So I grabbed a Alec Bradley Prensado churchill, San Lotano oval and a Casa Magna Oscuro Magnum.


(sorry for the crap cell phone pic)


The Casa Magna had a nice, white ash...


The AB Prensado was somewhat of a letdown. Not what I would consider full-bodied and not very complex in flavor. Maybe I was expecting too much? Maybe needed a little more time in the humi?


I'm expecting great things from the San Lotano, since it's an AJ Fernandez blend.

Darren...CF is in Caesar's Palace mall area...right next to a set of escalators.

We smoked cigars pretty much all over the Bellagio and strip...except for poker rooms.

Ohlord Jon! I need to fly back down to my place in FLorida and help you smoke them! I just do not know how you keep track and store them all.

To the greatest Cigar collection I have ever seen!

Good luck with that...I'm not even being sarcastic. But not sure how an electronic cigarette helps a cigar smoker...I can see a cigarette smoker benefiting...

Good Lord, Jonny, C280 is right, WHERE do you stash all your smokes?!?!?! I know you have several large, upright humis, but judging from that packing list, you need a walk-in!

Are those the sites you get specific brands from?

Working on the design for the walk-in now. The money I spent on 6 2000ct humidors would have paid for it by now.

Those are sites I use on a regular basis...I know these guys deliver and are stand up guys so I use all of them even though they may have the same brands of cigars.

Thanks for the 411, J. I was going to send you a PM regarding sites you use. By the way, I'm about half-way thru that San Lotano oval and it's a KICK-*** smoke! Full-bodied and great flavor, highly recommend. Another great smoke from AJ Fernandez.

I purchased some of those a couple weeks ago for my bedside Humidor. Everyone keeps taking them and I have yet to try one.

JR!, your orders are getting bigger and bigger brotha! Speechless.

JRock. I have a few San Lortano Oval's that have been on hold in the humi. I'm going rock one this weekend and report back!

George.. I had to read that twice.. you purchased some Oval's for your "bedside" humi and everyone keeps taking them... I hope only the wifey! LOL.

Stop by Maxamar Cigar in Orange off the 55 and Chapman.. They have one of the better Cigar Humidors in OC. Pretty decent prices too.

Casa Fuente is very cool for sure. Rhumbar in the Mirage is pretty cool too but I like the vibe at Casa Fuente.
