I think they're phasing them out. CI only has the corona's for a solid price of $59/box.
Only saw them at Smoke Inn for considerably more.

I bought that vitola because it was the one that scored well and I got the box for $49 and will look for more, especially at that price. Reminded me of a Murcialago when i smoked it yesterday

What happened in Lake Harmony/Split Rock stays there. Besides, who are we to judge, right, Dave? 8). Afternoon gents ... hit 97/107 yesterday afternoon here ... spent most of the day outside (in the shade). First cigar, a blue label Casa de Garcia Nicaraguan churchill was very good, then one ... a plume covered OOO ... that became harsh in the middle & had to toss. Had excellent Grimalkin torp & 1502 robusto on Fri night spirits tasting in Philly ... great night of whiskys & brandy/cognac.

Scott, I think you should call ASAP and politely suggest that ... if the answer is no, ask them if they want to retain you as a customer, if it's still "no" ... hand them over to Tony, "who knows somebody."

Grimalkin is a cigar I enjoy very much. They can still be found around, but were rebranded about two years ago to "La Musa Mousa". Supposed to be the same blend. Don't know what will happen to the Emilio brand now that Gary Griffith has retired. They were his babies. Very nice offerings across the line. Also helped start Cigar Federation where these are available on line (OK but not great pricing). They do have one of the best cigar of the month programs. You will get truly new and botique cigars, not like CI or Cigar.com generic retreads.

His B&Ms were mostly in Delaware, but I believe a couple in MD and NoVa as well.

Goddam workaference today, plus having to be a lot more careful about being observed bantering. Sucks.
I smoked a cigar on Friday that was a gift and I don't know what it is. The band portrayed a head wearing a crown that was too large and flopping down over the eyes. Can somebody ID that?

No, this is my first order. Did they identify the contents on the shipping confirmation?

Caldwell cigars. Two year old boutique after splitting off from Christian Eiroa. Pretty pricy, heavily marketed at B&Ms and as Tony said, profile on the three or four that I tried didn't wow me.

Hi Sly, Me either, 1st order. had Cracker Crumbs for $10.00/5 (never tried them either) so I hit 2 5-packs and a "mystery 5-pack" caught my eye for $19.99 and i hit that too. just speculating on what a mystery pack means to a place called "Cigars At Your Price" or something like that.

What happened in Lake Harmony/Split Rock stays there. Besides, who are we to judge, right, Dave? 8). Afternoon gents ... hit 97/107 yesterday afternoon here ... spent most of the day outside (in the shade). First cigar (?) was very good, then one ... a plume covered OOO ... that became harsh in the middle & had to toss. Had excellent Grimalkin torp & 1502 robusto on Fri night spirits tasting in Philly ... great night of whiskys & brandy/cognac.
Grimalkin is a cigar I enjoy very much. They can still be found around, but were rebranded about two years ago to "La Musa Mousa". Supposed to be the same blend. Don't know what will happen to the Emilio brand now that Gary Griffith has retired. They were his babies. Very nice offerings across the line. Also helped start Cigar Federation where these are available on line (OK but not great pricing). They do have one of the best cigar of the month programs. You will get truly new and botique cigars, not like CI or Cigar.com generic retreads.
Didn't know Gary retired. Worked or him a few years ago, great guy. Very personable to talk to and extremely knowledgeable in cigars & tobacco.

Looks like my crumbs shipped with the mystery pack I gambled on.
You'll have to let me know how they are, I won't see mine for at least 10 days
Will do. Ever try the mystery pack from them? interested what they think is worth $20.00
No, this is my first order. Did they identify the contents on the shipping confirmation?
No, just "1 mystery 5-pack".

I'm off, see you guys tomorrow
Later 'fish

Afternoon Banterers, back to my office where somebody decided I needed 2 monitors and installed them sometime since last Thursday, oh well should be better for bantering and Jamming!
Hotter than fuk juice in San Antonio I can tell you that.

Hi and Bye Fish

Goddam workaference today, plus having to be a lot more careful about being observed bantering. Sucks.
I smoked a cigar on Friday that was a gift and I don't know what it is. The band portrayed a head wearing a crown that was too large and flopping down over the eyes. Can somebody ID that?
Long Live the King:(https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/463754327228575744/SipzcELs_400x400.jpeg)
Had one at the last NJHerf and I thought it was just OK. Not as enamored with it as the guy sitting behind us at the next table. I specifically smoked The Heater Corojo 46 x 5.75.
Caldwell cigars. Two year old boutique after splitting off from Christian Eiroa. Pretty pricy, heavily marketed at B&Ms and as Tony said, profile on the three or four that I tried didn't wow me.
That's the one. I thought it a solid smoke, not overwhelming, but enjoyable. Burned nice. Don't know that I'd buy many, but they'll smoke.

Wife going to CO with her mom, bro and SIL late Wednesday, be gone until early next Tuesday. Kids sleeping over my parents house Wednesday-Friday so I don't have to miss work. Gonna be awfully quiet at the house there for a little bit.
I'll send some sausage to keep you company ;)
Hot damn! I have Nate and another buddy of ours coming over Saturday night for a man night in the man cave. Lots of grilling, lots of smoking and drinking. Always a good time.
Why not Friday AND Saturday?
Don't worry, there will be plenty of smoking Friday, too. But that will be solitary smoking.

Thanks, Dave ... I really enjoyed that cigar ... my eyes lit up when I saw the box, having remembered banter conversation about them and the Emilios ... but had never had the opportunity to try them. If you hear of where Gary may have a shop in the DC area, please let me know.

Mystery pack at CFest was crappy ... don't know about the place you're dealing with.
Hi Sly, Me either, 1st order. had Cracker Crumbs for $10.00/5 (never tried them either) so I hit 2 5-packs and a "mystery 5-pack" caught my eye for $19.99 and i hit that too. just speculating on what a mystery pack means to a place called "Cigars At Your Price" or something like that.
Hi Sam ... hope you hit the jackpot.
Are the Cracker Crumbs a small Surrogate's stick?

I've met him a couple of times in some of his Delaware stores and events. Just quirky enough to be entertaining, and some nice different cigars. I read of it on Halfwheel in May. Rather sudden and no detail. My guess would be health related, but it is just a guess.

Hey TR! I routinely do take-offs from blueprints, and I have used 2 26" screens for 4 years now (been here for 5 and fought the 2nd monitor for 1 year) and would never go back to having blueprints unrolled all over the place vs having it all on the screen.

He's had health issues for a while. I haven't seen him in a couple of years. I used to work close to his main B&M in Glasgow DE and would stop in periodically. he always has time to chat and invariably would hand me a new cigar he was trying to get my impression. (not that he needs MY input, he's just cool that way.) I've changed jobs and don't go by there anymore. Always had a good crew working there.

Thanks, Sam & Dave ("Hold On, I'm Coming"). My blind CiL, Gene, picked up an Animal Cracker at CI's Hamburg store to smoke on the way home from CFest ... I couldn't get over how good it smelled (after 3 days of cigar overload).

I found the label from the cigar I enjoyed so much yesterday. It was the blue label Casa de Garcia Nicaragua Churchill ... I picked it up in a Total Wine & More in DE on our way up to Philly. Bought a CAO La Traviata Divino for our driver & host and the blue label for me ... look forward to trying another. I've had the white label and it was meh, so this was a pleasant surprise.
-
Heading Home! Later folks.

Hi Sam, I wasn't driving, so I wasn't paying that much attention ... just looked at a map, it might have been Claymont or near there ... not far from PA border. There was a Home Depot or Lowe's in the same center. Right next door was a Rigatoni's Restaurant touting their crabcakes and other crab concoctions so we ate there (nothing fancy - carryout and sit down). The Total Wine and More, had a liquor area, besides the walkin in cigar humidor. We have the latter, but the VA ABC controls liquor sales at state stores dotted around.
