I've been eyeballing the Baitfish/Papas Fritas as an option for a quick smoke... So you recommend, eh?
I recall seeing a JDN Antano on their shelf, but it was $9 a stick
This is the one you're referring to, right?

Seems promising from the reviews.
If that's the one you had in mind, I'll go ahead and buy this sampler tonight:

yeah i'd def recommend the baitfish, delicious little smokes that I could enjoy, even on my short 1 hr lunch break. i'd like to try the papas fritas as well, but not for the current going rate.
regarding the JdN antano, we had the consul (dark natural wrapper). amazing little smoke.

I picked up a box of these and my first impression was....meh. I've smoked a couple and one was not bad, but the next one was not so much. Probably need to sit for a while.

Again, for $2.49 each, I can't gripe. My next "cheap" box will either be the Obsidian or the JdN Antano...

kreuz, what about ramon bueso genesis the project? they're not the greatest sticks, but probably more consistent than the PDR.
BTW, how young is everyone on the boards if you don't mind me asking

JdN Antano! not sure how all the cigar afficianado's feel about them, especially those that only box cubans. i'm no where near that level yet, so please excuse my ignorance if you feel they're sub-par budget smokes.

Th RB genesis is another one that I've heard excellent things about... I plan on trying a few in a sampler pack, and see where it goes.
I'm 28 years old, BTW. So I have a lot of time left (God willing) to build a proper humidor... You guys have honestly taught me a lot about the different brands, vitolas, and nuances between them. You guys rock!

hope everyone had a solid day off yesterday!
@ Kreuz: the only thing that bothers me about RB is that they've been fairly inconsistent (flavors, burn, etc.)
@ Jon: as always, solid lineup.
here's my lineup:
- Mi Barrio El Billetero
- Morro Castle
- Kristoff Maduro
- RB Genesis the Project
and some long overdue pictures
- Legado de Pepin @ my favorite local spot The Pint House
- Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne while camping @ Cachuma Lake
- Nica Libre Potencia (another awesome budget stick)
- Mi Barrio El Billetero
- Morro Castle with some Port Brewing Anniversary Ale
- Kristoff Maduro
- JdN Antano
- AB Family Blend

The Montecristo Media Noche No. 2 is a cigar you guys need to try.
I concur with the review below...not the infused sweetness of the CCL but still the influences of coffee/cocoa are unmistakable. You smoke this with you favorite cup of joe or java and it'll be a great night.

No, I opted for the Edmundo (5"x55) as part of this sampler pack:
http://www.cigarsinternational.com/s...noche/#p-86673
The Partagas 1845 is a sold "full" smoke so I figured this was a great way to test the Montecristo.
Normally, I hate Montecristos (actually 90% of domestic Dominican smokes, I don't like) but the reviewers (and Jon's approval) swayed me to whoop out the plastic

You are obviously a fan of Drew Estates. Are those Feral Pigs that good? I tried the Tabac Café the other day and really was not impressed, but everyone has their own tastes. I'm usually described by my cigar buddies as a Cuban snob because I generally find most of the "domestic" cigars just don't do it for me.

The pics I posted earlier are from my newest humidor in my patio man cave (houses the comic books, golf clothes, and the cigars) just to house excess boxes.
The main house humidors are separated into...
Man cave (houses the guns, scotch, and cigars)...mainly the "Island Cigars", Opus X, and Anejos...and Fuente Charity Boxes.
Dining Room...the Padrons
The reading room and living room...everything else...
My 2 office humidors...Padrons, Opus X, and other hard to find cigars...

Very nice. It looks like you won't be running out of smokes anytime soon. I can understand why you're friends would be calling on you for cigars.

I like everything...and try to broaden my horizons and stock up on what I like a lot. My friends seem to always call me up when they head out of town and need cigars...
