Rob and the crew at Taboo are top notch! So you've been stocking up for the wedding I see!

[J.C.]

For the wedding....and for myself! lol! I've found that I've been smoking more often than before...ever since joining this forum...hmmmm...lol!

I've already got some CC's set aside for my boys at the wedding, and now I'm trying to find some value priced sticks for myself that still taste good. The AF Special Selection you sent me was great, so I ordered a couple 5-packs along with Spanish Galleon and Gran Habano #1. Damn slippery slope!

Someone was there to push me down the slope in the beginning. Glad we could be of assistance to you!
Glad you like the AF SS, unbelievable value IMO. So have you toasted the Culebra yet?

Believe it or not, no not yet. My get together with some friends has been put off until next week, so I'm hoping to get er done then after some time at the driving range - got to work on the golf game now that the nice weather is here to stay!

Here's a pic of my Taboo order I received a couple weeks ago. It included one each of:

Costa Rica Maduro Churchill
Dominican Maduro Toro
Ecuador Connecticut Robusto
Special Forces Original Toro
Special Forces Boot Camp Torpedo
Twist Torpedo
Habano Sun Grown Toro
Limited Reserve Havana Torpedo
Limited Reserve Connecticut Toro
Limited Reserve Maduro Robusto

The Ecuador Connecticut and Habano Sun Grown are missing from the picture...they are no longer with us, but were enjoyed and will always be remembered!

Atlantic order pics to come!

I got my Atlantic order in the other morning. The humi is completely full now, so either I have to stop making orders, or get a larger one...hmmm...lol!

This order included:

10x AF Special Selection Brevas
5x Gran Habano #1 Rothchilds
5x Spanish Galleon Classic Coronas
5x Spanish Galleon Camaroon Coronas

Got them all for $50...can't complain for $2 per stick average price! I'm trying to find cheap cigars that I can stock up on and are still good. I enjoy the AF's, so they're a winner. I tried a Spanish Galleon Classic and found it very woody and nutty, but I think they will mellow out with time. So far so good.

Nice pickup James! The AF Brevas have never let me down. They get even better with a few months of age. Awesome pickup for under $2.00

Go with a cooler for your next upgrade! Much cheaper! Just make sure it's a big one!

Those are some good smokes that you got. The cuelebra is sweet!!!!!!

The Patel 99 Connecticut is among my fav sticks.

Nice sticks you have in the box.

yep James is sliding fast!

Sweet pickups there James. I feel your pain. I just received an order today (2 boxes cc's). This is my 3rd order this year. I need another humi!!!! Damn. Can't smoke them fast enough.

[J.C.]

Thanks for all the comments everyone! Long way to go before I have a nice collection like many of you, but I think I'm off to a good start. A big thank you to the Puff community for the wealth of information that has steered me away from making expensive mistakes!!

At least it's a relaxing, satisfying slide!! The fiancee shakes her head whenever I make an order...but when I tell her how much I'm saving compared to our B&M, she changes her tune!!

[DBCcigar]

Nice start!

[J.C.]

Well, the slope getting more and more slippery...

Took advantage of the Memorial Day 35% off sale at Taboo. I loved that Twist so much I had to order 10 more...lol! Got the Toro 6 x 50 size and Rob was awesome enough to include a couple Taboo coasters that I'll be putting in my makeshift cigar room!! You da man Rob!

[SMOKE20]

James you have officially slipped down the slippery slope. But man those twists are great cigars.
