Morning, Sam

Hey BS!

So, what was your take on that $2 BV ott?

I've put a box in my cart at the page price  ($22.50  only vitola left).  I'm impressed.  started off a bit bland and i was thinking "ok, box time may bring some flavor" as there was a hint of something light coming through.  I tend to pick light and dark flavors instead of coffee, chocolate, bread, etc.  and this one (i bought the Petite Pyramid) started picking up some nice light flavor after about 3/4".  grew in intensity and got into some heavier flavor mid way and By the end I was thinking these WILL taste good after we few weeks.  burnt my fingers nubbing it.  slightly tight draw but not restrictively so.  i tend to draw a bit heavy when I drive, so this one lasted me 50 min or so.

They show all sold out now and most likely the Page stole yours right out of your cart.

No actually it seems mine was the last one.  i went back before I posted the "review" and checked to see if there was any other sizes available, didn't so went ahead and hit them.  showed up as sold out right after.

Was coming back to update that Famous has the coronas (largas or something like that I think they call them) for $18.99 but need a Mash item to add for shipping, also Catsrule does not work for the BV's unless you have an eligible item with them.

Would be nice to see some in a Toro or Torpedo.  Even a full size Bellicoso instead of the Pettite size.  would have liked about another 20 minutes or so.

Respectfully disagree on that one, Torpedo's are usually among the worst vitolas IMHO, Toros are usually good and I smoke some regularly but with the CyB's the toros are terrible smokes for some reason.

Which is why we stocked up on corona's.

I'm just not allowed to play on school nights anymore. Sheesh.  Three-hours-of-sleep-Raz checking in.

Morning, muchachos.

Morning, TresHoresRazito

No, there were only two whores. Oh, wait, you meant "horas." Nevermind.

no puta mi amigo

Pero me encantan las mujeres de mala calidad!

Press "1" for English, for cryin' out loud.

I'd do it, but you shouldn't have to select your own freakin language in your own frakin country....beat 2k too.  HA!

+ 1M.  That gets me even more upset than Biebs over SharkJumpedNickNames.

Ehhh, you're a bunch of grumpy old men.

You're just figuring that out?  ...should probably add cheap as well.

Also something about grass being green.

Totally agree with the exception of the LAT Edicion Racine Torp, I like toros though but CyB's suck in larger RGs for some reason

I think the Surrogates Skull Breaker is another solid torp... and the V, which I know you don't care for in any option.

The V's are good cigars, my issue is that I don't think they're as good as advertised and have frequent construction issues. I find Olivas (except Melanios) to be very linear and unchanging/uninteresting

I always thought the construction on the V was pretty good... excellent maybe. Don't think I've had a bad one in that department. Actually had a few #4's over the past couple weeks.

Do you really need a coupon code @ $18.99? 

Yes.  Silly question.

Amen but YOU got a better deal on that than I did!   I had 2 of them in my cart for a while waiting on something to get FS with and picked something up on a jam last week then hit the purchase button the day before Ogie put the code out for 20% off.  Fuct myself on that one!

+1 and I have smoked a lot of them.  But they changed them some about 2 years ago or so and the newer ones are still good smokes but not as good as the old ones.  Never any issue with construction on either of them though, quite nicely made cigars IMHO.

I've put a box in my cart at the page price  ($22.50  only vitola left).  I'm impressed.  started off a bit bland and i was thinking "ok, box time may bring some flavor" as there was a hint of something light coming through.  I tend to pick light and dark flavors instead of coffee, chocolate, bread, etc.  and this one (i bought the Petite Pyramid) started picking up some nice light flavor after about 3/4".  grew in intensity and got into some heavier flavor mid way and By the end I was thinking these WILL taste good after we few weeks.  burnt my fingers nubbing it.  slightly tight draw but not restrictively so.  i tend to draw a bit heavy when I drive, so this one lasted me 50 min or so.

They show all sold out now and most likely the Page stole yours right out of your cart.

No actually it seems mine was the last one.  i went back before I posted the "review" and checked to see if there was any other sizes available, didn't so went ahead and hit them.  showed up as sold out right after.

Was coming back to update that Famous has the coronas (largas or something like that I think they call them) for $18.99 but need a Mash item to add for shipping, also Catsrule does not work for the BV's unless you have an eligible item with them.

Would be nice to see some in a Toro or Torpedo.  Even a full size Bellicoso instead of the Pettite size.  would have liked about another 20 minutes or so.

Respectfully disagree on that one, Torpedo's are usually among the worst vitolas IMHO, Toros are usually good and I smoke some regularly but with the CyB's the toros are terrible smokes for some reason.

Totally agree with the exception of the LAT Edicion Racine Torp, I like toros though but CyB's suck in larger RGs for some reason

I think the Surrogates Skull Breaker is another solid torp... and the V, which I know you don't care for in any option.

The V's are good cigars, my issue is that I don't think they're as good as advertised and have frequent construction issues. I find Olivas (except Melanios) to be very linear and unchanging/uninteresting

I always thought the construction on the V was pretty good... excellent maybe. Don't think I've had a bad one in that department. Actually had a few #4's over the past couple weeks.

+1 and I have smoked a lot of them.  But they changed them some about 2 years ago or so and the newer ones are still good smokes but not as good as the old ones.  Never any issue with construction on either of them though, quite nicely made cigars IMHO.

I had tight draw issues, nothing else

So, you're saying the draw was tight...

Yes, on one...at least
