Some of the larger vitolas of the 101s are a little better-priced I suppose. What are the best of the line? (Subjective question, I know.)

Well, IMHO the MC 2 and the Namakubi but they are very different so you might like the Namakubi but I would not recommend you buying a box to find out.

I think you are not alone in liking the Namakubi. It seems to me I've seen that one get the most praise, other than the MCII.

There are two Namakubi's the old one and a newer Ecuador version.  Both outstanding and I like the Ecuador a bit better but I am not necessarily in the majority on that.

Maybe something I should try.   We'll see if they come down in price in the next few weeks!

How's the day in TX, btw?

Wet, chilly and windy, just plain nasty. 

Thursday looks to be a nice cigar day here.

Not a bad day here for it here. I just did some tidying in the carport and burned an MCII pc. I'm never very happy with them for the first 3/4" inch or so. The box they came in has a bit of a paint/chemical smell, even the cedar, and I always get a little of that flavor up front. They pick up from there. I nubbed it at an inch or so and could have kept going. Interestingly, I could have easily walked away from it at the first 3/4". Not sure what's going on there.

You smoking anything today, TR?

The marketers pump up the "Brick House." They're cheap. Anyone here had 'em?

Raz is the brick house fan. 

Watch out though the Brick Housr Fuma is usually cheap not the real brick house which is more.

No sir, too cool out for my pleasure.

Ahh. I wondered if there was a catch...

Yep. Basically means short filler tobacco.

Good evening, gents.

Shank, try the mutantes if you get a chance. More cigar left after the first 3/4"

Lol. Won't be long.

[shank]

I mean, I could just expedite it.

Don't want to fodder up the banter too much, though.

Then again, it could actually be beneficial for the banter.
