Do the lights on the box flash too? Can I get it in purple? How about CAO Vision Angel Eyes?

I want the box; screw the cigars. They probably taste sweet, too.

The box is pretty cool....i cant help but think of an Ipod when i see.....all my customers want to buy the box and not the cigars.....

I'm in Bradenton.....so I dont think you are going to make the drive down.....but if you in the area let me know

And about the Gurkhas there great cigars....Ancient Warriors....great.....i tried there G3....i liked it, but I couldnt finish it

Hey Mantis, the cigar shop that I go to in Loomis is hosting a Bahia Cigar party on the 18th. I know you're in socal and that's a bit of a drive for you, but it'd be an awesome experience!

There's a new brand of cigars called ACID. has anyone tried it? the cigars taste pretty sweet. I do not think they're packed property tho, they dont feel tight.

just wanted to mention that. The more i try the more i find Avo's, Ashtons, Romio & Gulliete are my favorite.

I started smoking cigars freshman year of undergrad, now I'm in my freshman year of law school. My favorites are the Monte Cristo White labels, I feel that they are some of the best all around ones. When I feel expensive I smoke Fuente y Fuente Opus X's - but they are far stronger.

PS - I HATE the Acids, just never been my type. As for being rolled too tight or loose, you need a nice middle ground. If it is too lose it will fall apart when you cut it, but if it is too tight, you wont get a very good draw on it. If you pinch it there should be a little give but not too much.

I'm pretty sure the Acid is a lot of marketing hype, though I've never personally tried one.

Time to go spark up a Rocky Patel The Edge Corojo!

ACID's are not new, they've been around for quite some time. They are made by Drew Estate, a cigar company known for flavored cigars.

Drew Estate did collaborate with Rocky Patel to create the Java cigar, which is pretty good.

Flush, what kind of Cohiba did you have? A black with red or the yellow? I've tried a couple of Cuban Cohibas and was left somewhat unimpressed. I think the heyday of the Cuban cigar industry is over, and now they live off of mystique and name rather than quality.

Damn! Toronto has a great cigar scene. I visit about every other year. Love the awesome restaurants. I dropped $70 CAN once on a Cuban Cohiba; best smoke ever, but I wouldn't do it again - too much $$$! Those Habanos shops kick ass. The high end restaurants will let you smoke in their bars, if they're not crowded, even though it's illegal.

My cigar is just about done. Lovin' the wireless network!

i have some cohiba in my humidor at work... dont know which one tho, havent tried it yet. Im expecting it to be a bit spicier/heavier than my taste.

Yah, Acid is probably not new, but i've only started seeing them on shelves recently at the local store. Acid's are kinda like flavored cigars, they are pretty cheap too, like 4 or 5 bucks each. i dont know if i'll ever try em again.

I think the Monte Cristo White Labels kinda have that "cuban" taste. Its pretty light tho. My favs are RAS Specially selected, Vegas Robaina Famosos, Montecristo Edmundos, Partagas Serie D4, and Cohiba Sig 5 for now. For non-cuban labels, I enjoy Opus X, Graycliffs, and Aurturo Fuentes. I also stoped smoking cigs for a while before I picked up cigars and loved it.
