Cam, what have you been smoking?  Give us an idea of what newer stuff to suggest.  One that comes to mind is Drew's Nica Rustica.
I haven't been smoking much.  Probably a cigar a week or less.  The Luchador, Camacho Ecuador, Room 101 Payback and Tattoo (which was very meh, IMO) are the only things that are new that I have tried.  They all came from the B&M.
How was the Room 101 Payback?
It left something to be desired IMO.  Was a good smoke for the price, but not what I have come to expect from Room 101. I am going to give it another shot on Saturday as a first cigar to see if it changes my mind at all.  I'll be sure and let ya know a bit more when it is more fresh on the mind.
That's what I was afraid of, their stuff has been so good why put out a bargain smoke that's average? Tattoo also for that matter but at least he admitted it was to keep the pattent

I agree, even the guy at the B&M told me it was good for the price, but would not live up to a Room 101 cigar.  I am lucky that our B&M owner is a legit guy.  He has steered me away from many smokes telling me they are not worth what he has to charge for them.  I later tried some of them from samplers and online buys and was glad I did not pay B&M prices for them.

Yeah, the Tattoo is a dud.  Hate to speak from just one bad experience but you can usually tell right away if a cigar is great or has potential to be great.  I can only think of a small amount of cigars that I didn't think much of at first but loved a year or two down the road, but they were at least OK to begin with.

I can't think of any cigars I've thought were total turds that I enjoyed years down the road after some down time.

Ha, just Dave.  I think he and I have similar tastes. In fact, I'm just gonna copy and paste his reviews from now on and not smoke anything myself.  I'll save a ton of money!

It's a two-fer.  First, I have to officiate my dad's wedding.  Then the Hubcaps play at his reception.  Got a surprise planned for his father-daughter dance with my sister.  Gonna make her cry.  But I have to learn the song.  That's today's priority.

That said, I do want to try those new My Fathers but I'm in mandatory hiatus mode.  Leave for vacation a week from Monday, need to be sure incoming orders are all here within the next 5-6 days since I have everything delivered to the office.
