Good time to get this rolling again :smoker: Appollo is up, and I'll pick this up. I've gotten in contact with Gary and I'm going to get him some stick to include in the pass before it heads back up to you Stephen. I"ve seen your post, but I checked out your wish list and I can cover that, so I'll get something boxed up and over to our friend, and we can get this rolling again once you receive your sticks :smoker:

Recieved the bomb from Adam today wow what a selection of sticks,you hit my wish list hard.Thanks ,Adam for the great sticks will look forword to turning them into ash. :smoker: pif3.jpg
Outstanding selection, Adam!
Damn! Those are some great sticks!
Not much of a wish list there Adam???
Awesome again! I'm glad they made it safe! Enjoy brother! I've again had a couple of those for a while, too long, lol enjoy! I picked both of these PIF"s up in hopes to keep them going :smoker:
I need to update my list :smoker: I haven't done that since I joined, it's pretty outdated, I'd still enjoy a BKE :biggrin: but it does need some work, in the meantime...I'm going to pass my turn again to another active and deserving geek - 05Venturer (Kent) - he had the misfortune of having his pass stolen last year, I wasn't in the pass, but it was a horrible situation...not to hit on any hard feelings, I felt awful, Kent has always been an active geek on this site and didn't deserve that (no one does, geez). So Kent, while I work on a new list - please post up a list Sir, I'm sure there's a geek or 2 who would be glad to hit you! Thanks again geeks! :smoker:

That is definitely an awesome gesture my friend.
Thank you so much brother.
As far as a list I am a big fan of Sungrown Wrappers and anything in the medium and higher range. Robusto and Corona sizes are my go to's. I am always happy trying new things and aged. That leaves it pretty wide open.
Thanks again Adam :biggrin:

Quote from: DRuff on 03/18/2023 01:12 AMI got you Headfirst, let me know your range
Well that was fast! Thanks Doug.
My range is pretty broad. In general I like medium to full stuff (though I will smoke a fuller flavored Connie now and then) but I'm not into stuff that's bitter, so something that maybe has a real dominant dark chocolate or black coffee flavor won't ring my bell. Also not into grassy dominant stuff. I do like spicy, baking spices, leather, nutty, floral/sweet, woodsy, smoky type of profiles. Man I'm ready for a cigar just writing that!
Some of my favorite brands are: Oveja Negra stuff, Ashton, Oscar Valladares (his better stuff like Leaf, the corojo robusto and maduro lancero are home runs for me), Crowned Heads, Padron. No real preference on countries, though I would say I tend to like Honduras and Nicaragua the most. ISOM is really hit or miss for me, more miss than hit. My wishlist has some notes at the end on wrappers and sizes I prefer.
I always enjoy trying something new to me so don't feel limited by stuff I listed. If you like it and you think I might, I'm game.
I hope that helps, do what you will! :thanx:
Box is shipping tomorrow !
Thanks Doug! :dancing:

Thank you Doug for the fine selection! That Le Bijou has some very yellow cello, La Historia is a great stick and this is a size I haven't tried yet, a couple of CH sticks, and an Espinosa I've not tried round out the 5'er. I look forward to enjoying all of these!
Post up that list now!
Well done Doug :smoker:
Nice :biggrin:

I can take care of this. I should have something Doug may enjoy!
Without a doubt! Nice pickup, thanks Nick!

Going out today 9400109205568441774338
Package received, thanks ! Awesome selection !
Well done Nick
Nicely done Nick :smoker:
Let's see a list - it's nice to see this PIF stay on the front page for a few months :thumbsup:
Let's see, a Tatuaje Musubi, a Cuban regional, Byron, Somm, year of the sheep. One of any of those would be awesome! Would love to try the Still Well Star stuff with pipe tobacco in the blend. Tatuaje is a favorite as well as Roma and any La Colomena. Old Flower band LFD are great and a good Fuente hits the spot. Hope that is enough to make it easier to fill, if not I can add some more.
Somebody needs to pick this up !
Quote from: DRuff on 05/24/2023 12:49 PMSomebody needs to pick this up !
For sure the PIF"s have been a little slower, but it's nice to see them on the "homepage" again!
Get this going !
Ok, how about some Gurkhas that you think are good enough to smoke to the nub?
I got this,Nick I don't think I really have much on your list but I do believe I can get you something,althrough I don't have any Gurkhas,I hope you won't be disappointed
Good to see the PIFs rolling again.
Nice PU, Stephen.

Sorry for the delay in responding to this, maybe I was still in shock and awe! Stephen hit me with the craziest "mini" PIF I have ever seen!
LCDH Hoyo Elegantes, LCDH Upmann Royal Robusto, LCDH RA Superiores, Saint Luis Ray Marquez Exclusivo Cuba, Punch Regios de Punch EL 2017, Viaje Farmer Bill, HVC La Rosa 520, Still Well Star Navy, Crowned Heads La Vereda!
That is pure hitters, I still can't believe this was my mini PIF! Steven (Appollo) post your list so someine can help me with the retaliation for this one. Thank you, I truly appreciate you!
https://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=14296 (https://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=14296)
Post a list, Stephen.
Well There are a few brands I'm partial to Foundation.Padron,Warped ,Aganorsa Leaf,Tats but really gents anything not a big connie fan but anything else is fine and nothing bigger than a 56ga.
Come on guys, Stephen is a very generous Geek.
Someone needs to pick this up. He deserves better than to have this sit here.
:bump: :bump:
I'd grab it but I went very recently, and Appollo and I practically have the same collection with all the splits we've done the last few years! :lmao:
Somebody get him...whoever does get him, I do have a box of splits to send him so you can save some shipping cost by sending to me instead...
Great hit :smoker: hope someone picks this up :thumbsup:
:bump:
I'll pick it up. Any guidance on the "other" cigars? Min/max or any other requirements?
-Jason
Thanks for picking this up Jason.Some my preferred brands at this time[they do change over time]-
-Stolen Thronesr
-Aganorsa Leaf
-Foundation Cigar Co
-Padron
-Tats
Not a big Connie fan and prefer nothing over 56 ring gauge.But I'm sure anything you send will be great a good cigar is a good cigar
Sounds good. Out of town for business right now but will be back Saturday evening. In the meantime, I need to place an order to get you some "of the beaten path" stuff. List is already made, just need to finish the order. Waiting on my new thermoelectric humi to finish seasoning so I've got a place for the new stock. If you can give me like a week to get everything closed out on my end, I should have them in route to you by then.
Cheers,
Jason
Hobby supplies en route with tracking # LX394725579US. Unfortunately, has to cross USA/CAN border so they said it might take a couple weeks. Hope everything looks good when it finally gets to you!

Look forward to the next load of hobby supplies.Yea it takes anywheres from 10-14days.
The sticks arrived today from Jason,what a great selection of sticks.Thanks you Jason,now post your list.GEDC0056 (1).jpg
Very nice hit Jason!
Just realized I never posted after my hit. I generally lean towards medium-full to full sticks. I prefer longrr/skinnier vitoloas a la coronas, lanceros, and churchills. I try to stay away from anything in excess of a 56RG. I also gravitate towards stuff I don't typically see in my local B&M shop.
All that said, I'm not very picky and will smoke most anything that isn't absolute garbage. Thanks in advance to whomever is willing to pick this up.
Bump

Well, this has been sitting here too long, IMO. I'll take this up. They may not all be med-full to full, but I can promise you won't find them on the shelves. :whistle:
Haven't seen you on in awhile John,nice pu you were just in time :bigthumbs:
I keep in touch with some of the olde timey geeks from time to time. I saw this thread lingering and thought it needed fixing.

A SOLID shot from John, including some OLD sticks and some ISOMs. Thanks for hit brother. Now go get 'im, geeks!20240327_132911.jpg
Oh no! I hadn't unwrapped the cigar from the paper to check for that mold. No no no. That will not do at all. I shall send you a replacement or 6. I'm really sorry about that!

I was content to let it slide, on account of age and the strength of the rest of the PIF... but you do you! But by no means is it necessary.
Alright, so I will send some more cigars cuz that ain't "plume." :barf:
In the meantime, I would really like to try some really boutique or small production. Names like Meerapfel, Byron, or El Titan de Bronze's in-house labels come to mind. I prefer more medium than full, but of course most of these cigars would be pretty full. Please, no triple ligero, extra fuerte, eye gouging dynamite sticks. I'm very sensitive.

Alright, I know I'm making up for one rotten cigar...but you may be getting a lot more than one. I also don't think you ca nbuy any of them at a B&M these days. Incoming! :dancing:

I told he had already gone above and beyond. Man just wants to keep hitting me, I guess
So apparently geek math means 1 bad cigar gets replaced with 10 good ones. SMH. Regardless, thanks so much Sparkles! Now it's your turn. Post it!

So that Macanudo they don't make anymore. It's actually very good. The perfecto is the Quesada Heisenberg from 2014. The Panacea Green has 8 years of age on it and that Eye of the Shark is 10 years old at this point. And the God of Fire is "new" but is already four years old. Enjoy!
For me I would really like to try some really boutique or small production. Names like Meerapfel, Byron, or El Titan de Bronze's in-house labels come to mind. I prefer more medium but med-full is ok. Please, no triple ligero, extra fuerte, eye gouging dynamite sticks. And no giant ring gauges. I'm very sensitive. :biggrin:
Jeez man, I don't understand how you guys get that much age on sticks. I'm lucky if stuff can survive 6 months! But seriously, someone really needs to pick this up. John did an amazing job and deserves a good hit!
Quote from: raize on 04/03/2024 08:47 PMJeez man, I don't understand how you guys get that much age on sticks. I'm lucky if stuff can survive 6 months!
I think it's because we start out as cigar hoarders, and then life gets in the way of our smoking!
E
Has no one picked this up yet? Seriously? Someone please hit this man.
Also, John, do I still owe you feedback?
