Carlito's Way Sampler

I purchased one of these unbelievable samplers from Holt's Cigars this week. It's a fantastic deal at $50. It includes:

1 Arturo Fuente Anejo Special Release Cameroon Shark (5.88 x 64)
1 Arturo Fuente Hemingway Work of Art Maduro (4.88 x 60)
1 Ashton Virgin Sun Grown Wizard (6 x 56)
1 Fuente Fuente Opus X Belicoso XXX (4.63 x 49)
1 Fuente Fuente Opus X Perfecxion X (6.25 x 48)

I also got a box of Hoyo de Monterrey Sobrasas this week.

Catching Up

Let's see ... on Thursday, November 8th, I went to a Carlos Torano event at Cigars & More. The rep brought in a torcedore (cigar roller) from Cuba to roll cigars for people attending the event. It was fascinating to watch him work.

I ended up buy a mix of 10 Torano cigars, Cameroon1916 Corona, Casa Torano Churchill and Toro, Virtuoso Encore, Exodus 1959 Robusto, and got 5 free, including 3 of the fresh rolled cigars, and a hat. Very good evening.

Last week I rented a locker at Cigars & More to store some of my cigars. I figure that I can go and enjoy a smoke inside during the winter. Plus having a locker will enable me to get any free cigars given at events that I can't attend.

Ashton/La Aroma de Cuba Event

Last month I had a chance to go to the Ashton/La Aroma de Cuba Event held by Cigars & More. Got to meet the rep and enjoyed smoking a La Aroma de Cuba Monarch and tasting Mount Gay Rum which matched very well with the cigar. I bought a few La Aroma de Cuba Marquis, a tin of Interlude, and a couple of Ashton Cabinet Series Trés Petit 4. I won a nice Ashton ash tray in the raffle.
