Title: Newbie sponsored by nwb
Post by: Robert LG on 10/06/2010 07:42 PM
I would like to thank Nathan (nwb) for a delicious looking sampler for a newbie such as myself.  I recieved it today just as i was leaving for work(on nights).  He has been great to deal with and the cigars look delicious.  I am quite sure that the value he quoted me is very under estimated.  A truly great selection and only one cigar that I have had before.  A couple other blends I have tried but the vitola or wrapper is different.  It is going to be hard to let them rest a little but I plan to.  Once again thanks Nathan for an awesome sampler.

Nathan I have done some work on yours and actually it is almost all together just not in my hands.  As we discussed I have to make a drive to pick them up.

Really glad they made it!  Based on what you told me, your tastes are much like mine, so picking the cigars was easy.  Just remember to review them and let us know what you think... :shades:

Enjoy!

Cool!  And I know you do.  I just can't make a hurried trip.  You know a man needs time to smoke when he goes to a good cigar shop!

Definitely understandable.  I also realize my list was somewhat difficult to deal with, so anything you can find from it will be appreciated!

I had absolutely no time to study them before leaving for work and now I'm off to figure out what I have.  Yeah I really am a newbie. :confused:

Namely the Partagas, Arturo Fuente, Tatuaje, the 2 Don Pepin's in the top row and the one with PH on a silver label.

Your absolutely right.  This is awesome for a newbie.  Makes it even better to come from someone here at CG and Nathan really hooked me up.

Opinions needed.  I'm weak.  How long should I let these gems rest before trying?  They have been in my coolidor at 68% and ~73 degrees for a week.  I know that Nathan took good care of them before sending them to me.  After tommorrow I will be off for a week and it is going to be really difficult not to try a few of these beauties.  What do you guys think?

Nathan:  I should be able to make the trip to pick up and then package and ship my end of the deal during this week off.

I keep my humidity at 65%, and the trip out there took less than two days.  They should be fine to smoke at this juncture. :biggrin: Enjoy!
