I figured with a new year, a new thread was in order. I'll kick it off with the $25 La Palina Sampler I picked up from CigarPage: a fiver each of Red Label toros, Black Label toros, and Classic robustos.

Kent and I had a friendly wager on the Dodgers-Brewers series. This came just in time to ease my world series pain a little, thanks Kent, a couple in here I've wanted to try!
You know...I am still not quite back to where I can just go and buy cigars anytime I want. It's ok...I have plenty for now...LOL....But I tell you the Devil Site certainly isn't making it easy...If you are a La Palina Fan...check out this deal.... https://www.cigarbid.com/a/la-palina-maduro-cigars/3016598/
So many nice sales this last weekend, and after trying the Hucklebuck Kent sent me I decided it was a good opportunity to try Flatbed's new stuff. :dancing:

The first box is Arturo Fuente Anejo Reserva No. 55 (http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=cigars;area=showcig;cigar_id=7359) the second are Arturo Fuente Magnum R (Rosado Sungrown) Vitola 52 (http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=cigars;area=showcig;cigar_id=28760)
i really like the T-52 the best. I have an 8 year old box to present and they keep getting better. for my tastes anyway. I know Saka liked them better fresh.
Bought myself several of the Anejo's myself. Love them.
I was looking at CigarMonster, trying to figure out what to spend my $25 gift certificate on. Several years ago, I was part of a Geek Critique for the Crowned Heads Headley Grange Corona Gorda, which I thought was a great cigar. Scrolling through the Monster's offerings, I noticed they had a fiver of the Headley Grange Estupendos on sale for $25.98, roughly half price. No arm-twisting needed! :biggrin:
Last 2 deliveries by Small Batch Cigar.

I Didn't realize photos were required. Here are a few of the boxes I received over the past three weeks - I didn't snap a photo of the actual cigars because they're already resting in humidors - a few have been reduced to smoke and ash.

I don't know. The band just says Hand Made - the Bahamas.
Received two packages today. First up was a box of E.P. Carrillo La Historia - the EIII 6-7/8x54 size this time.
Then came another box of E. P. Carrillo - 24 sticks of Seleccion Oscuro Especial No. 6.
I couldn't help myself - I opened the box of E.P. Carrillo Seleccion Oscuro so I can try ROTT tonight. Notice on the lower right of the box bottom - E.P. Carrillo date stamps the box. I assume this is the date it was packaged. The box lid fits very tight - I wish my desktop humidor fit this well!
You've been busy...does that say 2013 or 2018, Either way nice hauls!
Thanks, it's 2018. I tried one tonight ROTT and wasn't disappointed. I'm looking forward to giving them a little time in the coolerdor. I've been stocking up for the summer months. We travel full-time, so I may not be in one place for a long enough periods in the summer months to take advantage of online deals. In the winter we spend a few months in San Diego and then a few months in Arizona where I can watch for deals and stock up!

My order of the 2019 BLTC Bishop's Blend Corona and the Crowned Heads Four Kicks Mule Kick LE 2019 were waiting for me when I got home from a RoMa Craft event. Was able to snag the last 3 RoMa Craft Aquitaine EMH Sabre Tooth, and got to meet Mike Rosales, so that was cool.
I went for that Black Works event stick sampler from Cigar Fed. The two on the left are the event only sticks and they look great. The other 8 were the blind picks. I've wanted to try those robustos on the right so I'm happy with this roll of the dice...not bad for $75 shipped.
GARY.............Master Collector ???? LOL - enjoy brother - I'm also curious as to what you think of the Ravens & Crows - High flyers??? or - Bird poop on the windshield??? Inquiring minds want to know......
I know, I'm on a bit of a rampage! After some rest I'll take a test flight and post a review.

Great looking sticks guys,I told myself not to buy anymore for awhile ,but this is making it difficult.
Nice way to end the year. Haven't bit on these in the past due to price, but picked them up during Black Friday sale.
Boy, looks like it falls to me to revive this thread again. Great sampler buy IMO from Cedar Room. $69 but a black Friday code brought it down to under $60! I think they still have some of these left. I've been really happy with all of my dealings with them.
