For you Fuente people, I bought a couple of Sharks last week. :biggrin:

For you Swisher Sweet/Berkinstocks hilljacks, the Anjo's are an Opus X in a Maduro wrapper. These Sharks, the wrappers are aditionally barrel aged in old brandy caskets. They have a very full flavor with a little fruit undertone from the brandys. Killer sticks and they only come out around christmas. Ho ho ho.

Also got an Opus since I was there.

My box has some nice ones right now. A few Cubans I picked up in Monaco, a Padron 25th Anneversary, Some Olivea Series V in Maduro, the Sharks.

Nice....

Ashton makes a fantastic cigar in the 10-20 dollar range. These have been my favorite since I started smoking stogies. Other than Padron and the occasional Fuente, these are all I smoke. I hate Macanudos with a passion.

I like the VSG's quite a bit also.

There are bunch of Ashtons. The VSG stands for Virgin Sun Grown line. It is the regular Aston wrapped in a Sun Grown wrapper. It might have more Liguro leaf to make it fuller. The Sun grown wrapper gives it more spice.

after looking over their website, the cigars i am talking about are the maduro line. i usually vary size by what i'm doing (after dinner, golf etc)

on another note, i don't care for the cabinet line at all.

Yea, the Cabinit and the Macanudos are Conneticut Shade Wrappers I think, no balls to them.

If you like those, try and lay your hands on the Olivea V Maduro. It was a limited release they did a month ago, but I have been finding them. You generally have to ask for them, they are hidden in the back. They are fine.

Never been a big fan of the flavored smokes. I tried the Acid Blue? I think they used to be called Rain. They were OK, did not like how sweet they were.
They do have great graphics for their artwork. Nice design.
