Going to smoke my first Las Calaveras, robusto, tonight!...any thoughts on it before I spark it up?

Best going into it with an open mind, just give it a little attention and enjoy.

Indeed.  Smoke one, then see if your thoughts compare to anything else out there.  I do try to smoke everything with an open mind, even AJFs.  My problem is that I start to expect too much from a cigar.

Same thing happens when we expect too much out of Tony, like punctuality

Fuck you.

Nica Rustica 10 packs at Famous for $47.47 after catsrule and $1 shipping today

My bad, may not be the case with the shipping but there was a $1 shipping banner up and looks like it's just for the "sale" stuff

Nice.  Be a while before I need to restock these but like seeing the relatively low prices out there.  Was there some sort of deal on these at CigarFed in the past week or so?  Seen a few people referencing one...

Paid $116 for a bundle. Took them 8 days just to get them out of the warehouse. Got 'em yesterday. It looked like the packing material came out of the trash can. Cigars are fine, tho and it wasn't like I was out.

Tell me again how you got them for $116?  I had to pay $121.45. You had a gift card or something? 

The packing material was wadded up cellophane. I dunno, probably as good as anything else, but Dusty's right, the long ship time and the improvised shipping material didn't leave a great impression.

And also - NR bundles are $112.05 at Famous after the catsrule coupon.

But you have to backorder.

So backorder and smoke something else in the mean time!  Actually didn't even notice that part about it.  What's a few extra bucks over a bundle/box of cigars, anyway?  I'd hit 'em a few times on the Jam/Cigar Monster before biting the bullet with an entire bundle so I'm set for a while on 'em.  Maybe I'll have one tonight.  Seems like some sort of discussion always influences my cigar choice, which is strange considering that this is a cigar forum.

I am still hesitant to try one.  They have a similar wrapper in comparisons sake to the LP9 right? (I'm a T52 guy, don't like the 9)

Revised my earlier post.  $117ish if you buy two ten-packs and a five-pack.  Still, I'm not going to sweat a difference of about 10-15 cents a stick.

Nogales?  Remember to brake for illegals.

OK, there is a Naco. Same advice applies, if not more so.

IMHO, a very, very different cigar than the LP9 I had last week.

I will disagree a little bit, here.  I think there are definite similarities to the LP9.  I think the LP9 is a much better cigar than the NR but it should be considering the price difference.  I think the NR is a true "poor man's" LP9, which is what the Undercrown was pitched as initially.  Not that it's a cheap cigar by any means. 

And I would certainly say that the NR is closer to the LP9 than the T52. 

IMO, no offense, etc.
