Cigar Aficionados' of BITOG, what are you enjoying?

Not separate but they have an agreement that they will submit all names and addresses to the state of NJ since IL was not charging sales tax. So again, I can agree with NJ sales tax but to charge me the tobacco tax too was BS.
Back when I lived in NJ... it's easier to drive to Easton (Famous Smoke) or Bethlehem (CI Superstore) to stock up on cigars.

Just pay the DE River Toll to get out of NJ and pay the PA sales tax.

I have never driven to Famous but I hear it isn't too far over the border. I did go to one CI store to meet Carlito Fuente but it turned out that he wasn't going to be around till much later and I had to get back to pick up my son from Daycare.

I ended up meeting him at a store in Fort Lee a few years later and that was a "Hey, nice to meet you and place a face with our chats. Gotta run and go home now cause I promised the wife I would just meet you and leave! Never mind the money I spent to get into the event. Keep the spoils from the event."
 
QdO corona. Only have 7 left now. Gonna miss these when they’re gone.

I remember when those were first released and they were all the rage in the FB groups I’m in. I missed out as I already had multiple lifetimes worth of cigars (and still do).
I like the other vitolas but that corona gorda 5th anniversary is perfect for that blend. Think these were only a limited run released last year. Still have a bundle stashed away but that was my last loose 5th anniversary in the loose stick drawers.

I don’t have nearly the amount of sticks some of the guys in my cigar club do but can easily go several years without a purchase as well. Probably around 1k sticks in storage. Have a friend that’s closer to 16k of all LE, vintage or just rare offerings. Guys nuts lol
 
I could probably go 8+ years if I had one every day.

I just bit on a CI offer to get some 5V Triple A box pressed for $17.50 on sale. Got 2 5 packs. Came in today. Haven't had a Triple A in years.
 
Not the biggest fan of Fuente (personal reasons), but I love a good Cameroon and the Hemingways are as good as I’ve ever had

Also enjoy the Hemingway. Keep a box of the Don Carlos #3 on hand though as, IMO, it’s the best Camaroon Fuente makes.

Side note, pick up a few RomaCraft Baka Jengi & let them rest for a couple years. They age far better than others but aren’t great the first year.
