Had a nice little surprise waiting for me this morning, thanks Dave!  Question, though... what are the two, foil wrapped EPCs?  One even says its a Short Run '12 but I was unaware of that vitola...

Left to Right:

Mason-Dixon North
EPC 5th Anniversary
La Paulina Black Label
EPC Medalla d'Oro    (Federal Exclusive)
EPC Medalla d'Platino  (Federal Exclusive)
EPC Generoso (Casa de Montecristo)
EPC (Perez/Carrillo) La Historia
Savinelli Special '05

I really liked the La Historia

Agreed, and very reasonable price (relatively speaking) and a simply beautiful box presentation.

Famous carries them but currently out of stock, good to work the coupon deal there though

$54.95/10 Toro , $50.95 robusto at Atlantic VIP

Wow that's great pricing, worth every cent

Indeed.  I keep on rechecking thinking it must be a typo or something.....but that was the pricing for the three boxes I ordered.  Only negative is that the boxes are a challenge for the humi.

I wish Atl had free shipping for VIP members - hate it so much I might wait until I can get a $150 order, or w/e their minimum is.

Any reviews on the size preference?

I couldn't find any difference between the Robusto and Toro, haven't had the Churchill.

Good to know...might snag a box after Christmas if they are still available.

Why wait, you have all that storage space now?  You'll want to order a backup box after Christmas once you've tried them.

Did someone say hinges?

You still don't have that done?  I thought you ordered and installed weeks ago.

Ohh no, I do...just reminiscing

Got feet on it yet?

Has anybody smoked or heard any reviews about the Norteno?

Yea, it is $150.  They do tend to alter it during the Christmas season (and other times) if I remember.

I usually like the Toro size but looking at how they are gauged, i think the churchill would be the way to go.  more filler and roughly the same size wrapper as the toro.  I mention the filler since I like to believe the better cigars are blended to have all the tobacco work together and they tend to use the Toro size for this.  in this blend, the churchill seems to be more the right size as most other toros.

I agree.  I usually go to toro's for that reason.  This one is 6 1/8 x 50 which I consider a pretty standard toro size.  The Churchill is 6 7/8 x 54....and for full informational dump, price is 76.95 or 61.95 VIP

I agree with the length, but the 50 rg seems a bit small.  I know I've seen 50 rg toros before, but i'm more used to 52/54 rg on a toro.  personal preference i'm sure!

Alright men, that's it for me today. See you guys tomorrow for the best day of the week

[ss2]

I'm drawing a blank here,  would someone tell me why I bought 10 of something called a "Man O War Dark Horse" ?

Later Scott.

No sir, sorry.

[Travellin Dave]

Has anybody smoked or heard any reviews about the Norteno?

As I am not a big fan of Herrera Esteli, I don't have a strong desire to jump at a SA Maduro version for $11+.  I'm sure I'll get around to it, but not making the first cut.  Overall critical reviews have been good, but the general profile description doesn't get me all hot and bothered.

Excitement of a new Jam offering?....either that or you had a daydream about Katie Perry.

probably the 1st explanation.  must have been on the weekend while, um, slightly compromised.   "Hey wow, Dark Horse, never heard of that, lets buy some!"  sheesh...

No feet yet, just sitting on 2x4s. Can't see em with our fluffy carpet
