Played golf this morning...great round for me...77 (38/39)...cigars help a lot...kept me awake! Then I went to my building and took delivery of humidor #2 for my office. I've been here for the past hour arranging the stock for this bad boy...a job I love doing...

My usual start of the golf round smoke...Tabak Especial Cafe Con Leche with some Columbian coffee...

Love it Jon! Just beautiful! Also 77! Great round of golf! I see scratch golfer very soon!

C280 Sport

There fantastic my friend! I rate them right up there with a Padron! That's saying a lot!

backdoc7

^^^ +1 George but I haven't had enough Padron's.. The San Lotano is box worthy as JR said for sure..

JR!! Damn bro, that's some sweet office furniture! 2000ct should take care of your last shipment as least!

Your morning cigars looked good.. How's the Siglo V1 compare to the Padron 1964??

I'm still stuck at the office but I'll get out of here soon and smoke a couple by the pool if things go as planned! You guys enjoy the weekend.. if you had a week like I did, it's much needed and earned! Cheers,
Bill.

BTW, JR.. bottom row, 3 black boxes.. what are they??

C280 Sport

Ended up enjoying this little bad boy after dinner this evening. A cooler night it was in NY. Watched the sunset as I enjoyed a Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Chateau Fuente Maduro. Great little stick for sure. I would not get anything larger then this one. I just do not feel it is a stick I can smoke too much of. Nice flavor to it and it is not too strong.

backdoc7: I personally went I do a Padron I will do a 1926 #6 and #9. The 1964 Anniversary Maduro are the ones to kill for! Those 3 boxes in Jon's humidor are Opus X. I have one of them boxes myself. Another good cigar!

AMGfan

@Bill...George is correct...those are some special Opus X tins...I ordered a dozen as Christmas presents the Christmas before last...and I just had to keep a couple for myself... I've been letting them stew in their own greatness for a bit...just for that bit of aging love. Glad you called them out...I need to break those out for some NFL games...just might do it today! I have two tins of the Robusto, 1 of the Perfecxion, and 1 of the Chateau de Reserve...

Slowly but surely this thing will get done...it's been like a NASA project for the shop getting all the wiring and actuators working properly. They still have to wire up the solar panels and the lithium ion battery for off battery operation.

^^ @ JR, what is the most awesome center console ever!! Keep the schematics b/c if I pull the trigger on a Suburban or Escalade, I'm copying that bad boy.. very cool!

Re: The Opus X, I should have known that.. I have a couple of Singles in the humi I'm waiting for a good occasion to burn one.. Regarding the Punch DC and Romeo y Juileta, those were my daily smokes when I was visiting the island! Brought a few boxes back but I'm getting low. Man, great smokes JR.. those three in a row are hard to beat for sure!

@ George, thx for the advise.. I'll pick up a 1926 #6 and #9 and give them a try.

Have a good week gentlemen!

backdoc7

Forgot to post my Sunday smoke.. paired this baby with a couple of XX amber's. I've had a few of these resting for about a year and it was smooth and more full body then I was expecting. Nice smoke.

AMGfan

^^^Bill...I hope you had a full meal...because those bad boys aren't ones you mess with on an empty stomach...

PS That new humi in the vid above replaces the one between the 2 middle captains chairs in the Suburban...the old humidor/cooler is in the pics below.

Click on pic for slide show...


We took the cooling unit and fans out of that one and transplanted it in the new unit. I ordered a Humi-Care EH Plus Electronic Humidifier to handle the humidification portion.

JohnnyRock

Jon, do those digital units need to be calibrated, or are they ready to use right out of the box?

Also, where do you get your standing humi's?

AMGfan

JR...I've never had to calibrate them. They run great and give an alarm when they need more humidification fluid...which is a feature I like a lot.

I got my first 2 of Ebay and the seller and I PM each other so much I just dealt with him directly...

J

backdoc7

Jon, I've seen those pic's and that suburban is awesome.. not just the humi and cooler.
In regards to the Joy de Nic 1970.. I started it on an empty stomach and a couple of XX ambers and I felt it big time by the time the first 1/3 was done.. I immediately ate some left over chicken and rice and it helped.. I had to slow down my smoke rate but like I said, it was much more full body than expected.. I'll make it an after dinner smoke next time!

That 'burb humi project is out of control.. I like the 3rd button on the bottom the best! I have a question regarding a firearm I'm looking at but I think I'll pm you..

C280 Sport

I still love this thread! So glad I started years back! Jon that video is amazing you posted! Also I think I have seen your Suburban twice so far and the mods are fantastic! Great job brother!

Doc7 let us know how you enjoy the Padron's I can assure you that you will buy a box of them if you love the San Lotano's. I will be going cigar shopping Friday after work. I am picking up San Lotano and possibly some Padron's. My bedside humidor is running low.

backdoc7

^^^^ I already have a couple of Padron 1964's awating a good moment. I'll report back for sure..

Tonight I had a chance to chill a bit. This is a La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero. I paired it with a nice pour of Glenlivet 12 and to be honest, it kinda kicked my azz.. but I loved it. Really full body smoke.

JohnnyRock

BD, those LFD Double-Ligeros are AMAZING smokes (at least, I think so)! Guess who turned me on to those?! (assist to JR) I smoked LFd in the past, many, many years ago and thought they were a little 'light' for my tastes. The recent DL offerings has changed my opinion. Definitely "box worthy" for me. Might have to try some Air Benders soon....

C280, thanks for starting this thread! I've met some very cool people here thanks to you! We'll have to all get together 1 weekend and herf it up...I'm sure it will include golf and guns, judging from the banter.

AMGfan

@Bill...LOL...I'm glad you made it...I've got to shoot you, JR, and George a Opus X Power Ranger and a Joya de Nicaragua 1970 Antano when you all want to have a similar kick in the pants!

@JR...Anytime you guys are in Florida...call or PM me.

INCOMING:

1. 2 Boxes of Opus X - xXx or by their other name - Power Ranger
2. 10 individual sticks of Padron Milleniums
3. Commissioned new commercial style wall humidor for my house...66" wide x 96" high x 16" depth...dark mahogany with top portion (72") covered with tempered glass doors and bottom portion (24") has 4 cabinet doors for more box storage.

(pics once they get done making it)

C280 Sport

After a awful awful day at work today a Padron 1964 would end my day off well along with slow cooked grilled steak A fantastic smoke the Padron 1964 is but I am itching again for another San Lotano

@JR If God's willing someday that does happen it would be all about; cars,cigars,guns and golf. What else is there?

@Jon. Not sure when I will be at my place in Florida next time. It is my crazy time of the year. I would like to fly down sometime after Christmas and stay for New Years.

AMGfan

Walked into my office this afternoon and new stock came in...



2 boxes Opus X Belicoso "Power Ranger"
3 Montecristo Open Eagle Tubos
Padron 1964 Exclusivo (1 box Natural and Maduro)
Padron 80yr Anniversary (1 box Natural and Maduro)
Padron Family Reserve No. 46 (1 box Natural and Maduro)
H. Upmann Royal Robustos
Partagas Shorts
Partagas Salamones
Ramon Allones

JohnnyRock

As usual, a beautiful stash Jon! BTW, I've only smoked Padron 1964 Anniversarios, what's the taste difference between those and the 80-yr Anniversary and the Family Reserve, etc.???

PS Lovin' the cuban selection as well! I see many of my favorite Habanos in your pics.

AMGfan

The 1964's are aged 4yrs, 1926 a full 5 yrs, and the Family Reserves are at 10yrs.

The 1964 is mellower and medium to full bodied...the 1926 is more complex but balance and is full bodied...the Family Reserve are just pure gold!

My go to daily cigar (if I had one and only had Padrons in my humidor) is the 1964 Exclusivo...the 1926 is my after dinner smoke...the Family Reserves are for special occasions (everyday I'm alive if I could get away with it...)

To be honest with you...I have not had ONE bad Padron EVER. I think they are probably the most consistent cigar brand out there as far as construction, burn, ash, and flavor. I'm biased and not ashamed to admit it...

AMGfan

What a great day of golf (39/39) and cigars...ALL nub worthy!!! Wishing you guys a GREAT weekend!!!!

Oliva V Melanio...


Bolivar Coronas


Partagas Series D


Padron 1964 No.4...WOW!!!!!!!

C280 Sport

The 1964 #4 is a fantastic smoke! Oliva V Melanio, Bolivar Coronas and Partagas Series D I have not tried. The Partagas Series D looks mild and a CT wrapper no?
