Starting to stock up...

[J.C.]

My humidor has been pretty under used as of late, only holding a few sticks at a time as I bought them from the local B&M. After getting tired of the poor selection, I decided to hop across the border and stop in at a Tinderbox after my fiancee was done at David's Bridal of course...lol!

Today's haul included:

NUB 354 Connecticut
Ashton Corona
Rocky Patal Vintage 1999 Conecticut Petite Corona
Rocky Patal Vintage 1990 Corona
CAO Brazil Robusto?
Oliva Serie G Torpedo?
Punch Elites Corona

Some of the names of the sizes I'm not too sure on, I was basing my choices on price primarily...damn recession! Maybe some people can help me out if I've named some sizes incorrectly.

As well, I snapped some pics of a Partagas Culebras that I picked up a week ago for myself and some friends as we part ways from university.

Still a ways to go before the humi is full, but I think I'll be making a Taboo sampler order today and that should get er done!

Nice pickups!

I actually just got my first culebra in today from cbid. Its a Sol Cubano culebra that is smelling great. I've always been interested in getting one since I seen them. Now I just need to find two BOTL/SOTL's to smoke 'em with!

Nice pickup James The Vintage 90 and Oliva G are a couple of my faves! Let me know how the 99 is, been wanting to give them a try. btw, do the Tampa Sweethearts still come with a wooden tip?

I'll be sure to post my thoughts on the 99 and the 90, these are the two I'm looking forward to the most because of the good reviews I've read.

Yeah, the Jewels Sweets are there as my quick front porch smokes...and yeah, they've got the wood tips! They're actually not that bad, and for the price I don't mind having a few packs kickin around. But with some of these nice additions today, I don't think they deserve to be in the same humidor...lol!!

If you are coming over from Canada, check out smokin Joe's on Saunders settlement rd. It is probably only about 20 minutes from the bridge. They have a walk in humi, and I have scored some pretty good deals.

That's where I'm headed the next time I go over. We were just south of Buffalo today and I had to decide on Nice Ash Cigar Lounge in Depew or Tinderbox in Williamsville. I chose Tinderbox even though it was a farther drive because I thought they might have a better selection.

It was kinda neat because they had a cigar lounge in their humi room. Coming from Canada, we don't get such luxuries, but I'll tell ya it was a smokey 20 minutes while I was making my selections! We were in a hurry to get back home, so we didn't stay to have a smoke in the lounge. They were watching a soccer game...not my sport, so it was ok I missed it!!

Nice pick ups enjoy!

Taboo order just got shipped...woo hoo! Now the waiting game to see if it makes it past the "gatekeepeers" (AKA customs).

[Cypress]

Nice grabs. That Partagas Culebra is an awesome smoke.

[mc2712]

All great pick-ups, enjoy.

[TheBigNasty]

Cool. Have a blast !!

[J.C.]

I got the Taboo order in and already smoked a couple before I realized I never took any pics to put on here...oh well. I'll post a couple tomorrow, but it's just the sampler pack, so nothing new. I also placed an order with Atlantic which should arrive next week, so I'll be sure to post those. I think I need a bigger humi!!
