Today's Highlight in History:
On Jan. 13, 1967, the Rolling Stones' double-A sided single "Let's Spend the Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday" was released in the United Kingdom by Decca Records. (It was released the following day in the United States on the London label).
On this date:
In 1733, James Oglethorpe and some 120 English colonists arrived at Charleston, South Carolina, while en route to settle in present-day Georgia.
In 1794, President George Washington approved a measure adding two stars and two stripes to the American flag, following the admission of Vermont and Kentucky to the Union. (The number of stripes was later reduced to the original 13.)
In 1898, Emile Zola's famous defense of Capt. Alfred Dreyfus, "J'accuse," (zhah-KOOZ') was published in Paris.
In 1915, a magnitude-7 earthquake centered in Avezzano, Italy, claimed some 30,000 lives.
In 1941, a new law went into effect granting Puerto Ricans U.S. birthright citizenship. Novelist and poet James Joyce died in Zurich, Switzerland, less than a month before his 59th birthday.
In 1962, comedian Ernie Kovacs died in a car crash in west Los Angeles 10 days before his 43rd birthday.
In 1978, former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey died in Waverly, Minnesota, at age 66.
In 1982, an Air Florida 737 crashed into Washington, D.C.'s 14th Street Bridge and fell into the Potomac River while trying to take off during a snowstorm, killing a total of 78 people; four passengers and a flight attendant survived.
In 1987, West German police arrested Mohammed Ali Hamadi, a suspect in the 1985 hijacking of a TWA jetliner. (Although convicted and sentenced to life, Hamadi was paroled by Germany in Dec. 2005; he is on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list.)
In 1990, L. Douglas Wilder of Virginia became the nation's first elected black governor as he took the oath of office in Richmond.
In 1997, seven black soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor for World War II valor; the lone survivor of the group, former Lt. Vernon Baker, received his medal from President Bill Clinton at the White House.
In 2014, a shooting at a Wesley Chapel, Florida, movie theater left Chad Oulson, 43, dead; retired Tampa police captain Curtis Reeves, 71, is accused of killing Oulson during what authorities said was an argument over Oulson's texting.

Five years ago: The Italian luxury liner Costa Concordia ran aground off the Tuscan island of Giglio and flipped onto its side; 32 people were killed. Myanmar freed some of its most famous political prisoners, sparking jubilation among their supporters. Veteran TV newsman Richard Threlkeld, 74, was killed in a car crash on Long Island, New York.
One year ago: Less than a day after 10 U.S. Navy sailors were detained in Iran when their boats drifted into Iranian waters, they and their vessels were back safely with the American fleet. Defense Secretary Ash Carter laid out broad plans to defeat Islamic State militants and retake the group's key power centers in Iraq and Syria. The Al Jazeera America cable news network said it was shutting down two and a half years after its launch. Three winning tickets split a world-record $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot.

According to phobia specialist (and coiner of the term paraskevidekatriaphobia) Dr. Donald Dossey, it's the most widespread superstition in the United States today. Some people refuse to go to work on Friday the 13th; some won't dine in restaurants; many wouldn't think of setting a wedding on that date.

Not a bad cigar. RoMa uses solid tobacco, but flavor profile does not stand out. The short perfecto vitola that I like in other offerings had burn problems with the WR's that I had. I would treat it like the Uncle Lee for Room 101.

I'm about half way done with this cigar. I took this photo a little earlier on. Despite the delicate and cracked wrapper and the shitty burn, this is a decent connie. Very flavorful. Vanilla and dried fruits notes. A tiny bit of white pepper on the retrohale. I probably didn't have it stored as well as I should have. It was in my portable humidor. I would definitely revisit this cigar.It didn't get any prettier as it went along. Please note that I wasn't actually driving while smoking this. Therefore, it wasn't the wind that created this issue.

I would agree if it was just the wrapper (cracking), but that 2nd pic looks like it is expanding under the wrapper... like it's too moist or hit an overpacked section of filler in the middle.

btw, I enjoy the La Traviata as well. Mostly the little ninfas. That was a recommendation from Joe on the CI Banter a ways back. Now, I'd probably go with the Surrogates Cracker Crumbs as a preferred option for relatively the same price range (on sale). When the MCII papi chulos were going on deals, the best being a box of 50 for $60... those where a no brainer.

RP 1990 and 92
Some I've enjoyed lately:
La Traviata
Padilla 1932 black
RP Royal Vintage
601 blue
601 green
601 red
AB Tempus
AB Connie
AB Sungrown
Quite a range, really. My tastes probably aren't particularly refined, but there are definitely cigars I like more than others, and some I don't care for. Having had good experience with the GH 3 SLS years ago I bought a sampler recently, and have not been impressed--a little loose, hot burning, uneventful flavor. I enjoyed the Room 101 LMII PC at first, but the last couple have excited me less. I thought I liked the LGC, but bought some wavels and was not entirely excited; I must have had it confused for something different I smoked previously, but will revisit.

Can't say that is something I have seen from Crowned Heads cigars in the past.Could just be shitty construction.I actually do have humidification in the portable. Like I mentioned in the previous post, other cigars in there are fine. This Luminosa was in the celo before it was lit.Aren't es-ploding cigars because they are too moist? Can't be that because you said they were in a travel humi... which I think would have the opposite effect. Too humid in the car?I always thought it was a "too dry" issue with the wrapper
Agree'd. Huber seems to put out quality products even if you don't care for the profile. That said, there could always be one line that is manufactured differently that has issues. i.e. Uncle Lee's

Which is why cbid is referred to as the devil.Other option would be taking a look at the auction sites....but they are also dangerous.Alright. So what are the best deals on the page now????
Is this a trick question?
Ha. Nope. Just looking for the wisdom of folks that are familiar with more labels than me!
Most of the ones I have smoked are really not stellar deals, save for the La Traviata I mentioned, which seems pretty good.
btw, I enjoy the La Traviata as well. Mostly the little ninfas. That was a recommendation from Joe on the CI Banter a ways back. Now, I'd probably go with the Surrogates Cracker Crumbs as a preferred option for relatively the same price range (on sale). When the MCII papi chulos were going on deals, the best being a box of 50 for $60... those where a no brainer.

Based on that, to possibly broaden your horizon, consider offerings by CLE, EP Carrillo and AJ Fernandez. They frequently come up in Jams and other offers and are overall pleasant smokes. Like any line, of course there are some that are great and a few dogs, but overall pleasant cigars. CI regularly offers AJ items like Diesel, Man o War, Relic, Ave Maria and his independent lines that are a bit more expensive but very enjoyable like San Lotano.Alright.

The Hemingway's Tx brought up earlier are a great smoke @$4/stick. I honestly stopped looking when I hit the Laranja deal. Gotta keep it "relatively" in the budget. ;)
If you let us know a few you like, we can eyeball a few for a deal somewhere. Otherwise, you'll end up getting deals and smoking what we like... which would't be a bad thing necessarily. Haha

Just checked out the Cracker Crumbs. Looking at my preferred list from the early 2010s it seems the might be enjoyable for me.
What's a good price for those? $13.50 a fiver at CI seems a little high for a small smoke.

Got it. Thanks. I do like the MOW and Ruination. Been meaning to get on the Diesel. I'll have to get on that. Almost bought them yesterday on Joes. I thought the price went up during the day though and didn't follow through. I could have been wrong, but didn't want to get suckered anyway! Haha.

Man, hard for me to offer you much help, that is almost a list of my less than favorite smokes but that does not mean others should think that way at all. If you like 601's (I do like those)then you might try the LaBomba line. LaPalina a ththe Sister today should definitely be worth a try and that is a pretty good deal. Most folks enjoy the AF Hemmingway line and the Page has a few nice deals today.Alright. So what are the best deals on the page now????

Just a tip at no charge: These days Most of the advertised deals and daily deals are not very good deals at all even if they happen to be good cigars. From time to time the Mash will have a good deal or two on good smokes.
Post by: shank on January 13, 2017, 02:59:27 PM

I've been picking them off the FamousBid for @$9-$10 a pack, but if you just want to try, $13.50 may not be too bad without getting into the auction site cost averaging rabbit hole discussed earlier up the thread. If you find you like them and want a larger qty, the same auction has 50/$92 pretty regular. That's only about $10 more than the 50 ninfa's I used to get at CigarPlace.

Post by: South Carolina Redfish on January 13, 2017, 03:02:53 PM
Ah, I DO like the La Bamba. I'll probably give the LaPalinas a go, then.Usually we stumble up on them here and there and between us we find quite a few and post them here.

btw, I enjoy the La Traviata as well. Mostly the little ninfas. That was a recommendation from Joe on the CI Banter a ways back. Now, I'd probably go with the Surrogates Cracker Crumbs as a preferred option for relatively the same price range (on sale). When the MCII papi chulos were going on deals, the best being a box of 50 for $60... those where a no brainer.
Ya. Easy to get carried away and overspend and overpay!

Anyone had the La Traviata Maduro? Down to only a couple normal LTs left. Contemplating which to buy. Both? ???I like the maduro a lot. I like both but would give the edge to the maduro. Bought some recently at a good price from CigarPage.com.
Alright. Got a 10 of the maduro animados on the way. Looks good.
Tempted to pull on the naturals, but will probably wait a bit. Looks like they come up on the page regularly...at least for the time being.

Ah. Indeed, it is. With Dominican filler. Seems to me the Brazilian wrapper is a little more dark, but Dominican is usually mild, correct? It seems most connies (maybe all connies??) are Dominican?

When we speak of connies, we're referring to the wrapper. They are usually very pale; sometimes called claro. The real deal is from the U.S (Connecticut). Much of that wrapper comes from Ecuador these days. They tend to be milder cigars. Not necessarily Dominican made. Honduran and Nicaraguan too.

I thought the papa was very good! Great looking wrapper with understated band. Nice draw. Burn was sharp and straight. Ash was solid light grey. Very enjoyable flavors... 4.5/5
