I'm nearly 100 miles outside of the city

I've found the Man O' War line to be very enjoyable. For the San Lotano and LHC Core, I'm not quite sold but I could probably be persuaded after another smoke or two. I've only gotten AJ Fernandez cigars in samplers from CI that I order when I find myself not buying new cigars on my Tobacco Exchange trips.

I see that now. For some reason I always just assumed you were a metro area type rather than one of the "out west" types. I should have been more specific. I very much enjoyed the San Lotano Oval (reminds me of the Ruination), but the Connecticut and Habano were pretty boring.

Hit TE today, as the humidor was bare. I purchased a couple of Diesels and Olivas, as well as a La Gloria Cubana Serie R and La Flor de Antilles. The latter two I have not tried yet. I am counting on being stuck at the house for a few days with the man cave being my only retreat. Chivas and Mr. Buddy may have to accompany me.

I never have been much of an Oliva fan, but the Diesels aren't bad at all. I haven't tried those other two either. I'm currently stuck in the house while the wife watches the Carrie Underwood "Sound of Music" special. Out comes the Woodford...

The Oliva Gs are a good daily. The LGC Rs are sorta new. The Antilles have received some good press. Yes, I know. See my thread on how gun reviews are written. But one cigar is usually cheaper than one gun. Usually.

And my condolences for the SOM punishment. I went through the same thing the other night.

Ah yes, the joys of reading cigar mags. Everything is amazing! Still, most cigars above a certain price point are at least tolerable. I liked the Davidoff quote that Cohiba posted. The best cigar is the one you're smoking right now. Indeed.
