Been back from Vegas over a week now, but I've only just now gotten a chance to share some pics and notes from my trip.
The highlight of my cigar smoking in Vegas was easily my visit to Casa Fuente in Caesar's Palace. Although I bought 2 sizes of the Casa Fuente and an Opus X Lancero to take home, I decided to relax in the seating area with an Opus X Forbidden Toro. The extremely hot saleswoman couldn't identify the vitola, but a gentleman at the bar insisted that it was, indeed, a toro.
It was a fantastic smoke that I'd give 5 stars if I could just find it in the database. If you get a chance to smoke one, jump on it knowing that it is well worth the price.
I spent a decent amount of time smoking cigars and drinking comped drinks. I can't remember everything I smoked, to be honest, but the highlights were:
Hemingway Short Story Maduro
Winston Churchill Chartwell
Davidoff 2000
Feral pig
MOW PA
It was an enjoyable trip, highlighted by seeing Ron White perform, an expensive meal at Mario Batali's Carnevino, two top buffets (one with tons of champagne), a single engine plane flight to the Grand Canyon, treating my wife to an overly expensive Coach purse purchase, and winning both of my bets on my beloved Texas Rangers. Had fun!
Sounds like you had a great trip.
Sound like you had a nice time. Also the Opus X :drool:
Sounds fun!.
Sounds like you had a great time Corey.
sounds like a nice trip, welcome back to reality.
sounds like a great time! nice pics.
What?! No pictures of the extremely hot saleswoman!?
Glad you had a great time. Lots of good memories to keep with you and bring you back for more.
Nothing like a Vega trip with com'd drinks, Cigars and winning!
Glad you had a good time Corey. I'd say the Rangers are a solid bet in Vegas this year. The Dodgers are having a good year too, but I'd never bet on them. They are, after all, the Dodgers and would disappoint me just on principle... :rolleyes:

Good point. What was I thinking? :-(
Happy to see you both had a great time in Vegas, Corey.
In the "big city" up here, a tobacconist had those (I think it's the same one you enjoyed) AF Opus X Forbidden Toro single, in it's own cedar coffin, $50, plus tax.

Glad you enjoyed the trip - looks like a lot of fun!
Sure, you sure how many workers smoke when they congregate.
Casa Fuente was a great place, and the sales woman I had helping me was definitely great to look at. She had a 5 flame lighter to light my cigar. :-0 Talk about about a quick light that was.
Wish I had bought a couple of the Opus X Forbidden at $28 each while I was there. The only places I've seen them since are asking $30 to $40 for them.
