Picked up a couple of cigars in Canada while taking the war department to Niagara Falls a couple of weeks ago. I don't know much about them but my hunting buddy likes a good cigar.

Anyone else like an inexpensive CAO Black?

Cao black is a nice cheaper stick. My everyday smokes are Acid Blondies or Drew Estate dirt torpedo. Delicious and cheap. I have a few that I keep in rotation and some more expensive sticks but I love anything drew estate/acid

Naughty naughty! Good cigar though!

CAO La Triviata is a great <$5 stick. Great!

This thread should not be close to the "Anyone else bought a new gas can recently" thread.

Enjoying a cigar right now. Casa Fuente with a late afternoon breeze and nice cold tea! Big fan of the Fuente lines, but enjoy a variety.

Acids are an interesting smoke. First time I tried one I was like, "yuck!". But the more I smoked the more I liked it. Just got a box. My faves are rocky Patel Connecticut.

I still say yuck! :)

Just not a fan of any infused smokes. Love the rest of the DE stuff though. Too cheap the for more than the occasional LP, but always have the less expensive Undercrown CV resting. The MUWAT BF are one of my favorite quick smokes.

I smoke Monte Cristo #2. I keep two sealed boxes in my humidor and everytime I head to the caribbean, I pick up another.

Nice. Never tried getting them through customs. Any tips?

Take your suitcase with you. I do cruises regularly....and when you get off the ship, they give you a number for your baggage......if you put the number on your bag, the ships people take your bags and then they go thru customs.

If you chose the "self-debarkation", you take your bags with you.....you walk right up with your suitcase, tell them there's nothing fancy in it, and walk right out.

You can also find a supplier online quite easily, they simply remove the labels and ship them in a normal box. I don't like this method as I don't know if they're authentic and they charge $60 just to ship, regardless of how many you buy. I only buy sealed boxes so I know they're legitimate.

Cool, thanks.

Wish they'd just end that stupid cold war crap and open up Cuba. Would love to visit.

You and me both!!

If you're in the KC area, next time I am there I would be more than willing to bring you a box back!

I had an Ashton and CAO last night.

I usually have a good stock of some of the cheaper Padrons in my humidor for my freqent smokes etc. I keep one or two good sticks in there for a post cookout smoke, or something of the like.
