MY Favorite Sticks... RE: Laker

Well here is my updated list since I had to change from everyday sticks to more special sticks. I figured if I can only smoke once a week at most, why not make it a good one.

Oliva V (Reg and Maduro)
Tatuaje Brown/ Black/ Monster
La Riqueza
Camacho Liberty
AF Anejo
AF OpusX
Oliva MB
Padron Anniv.

Looks like the Ashton VSG is on the list of everyone except doody and maddy. Doody hasn't had one. What's your excuse, maddy?

Same excuse as duty. I have a couple resting now but still haven't smoked one.

Really? That surprises me.

Me too. THe only reason I can think is that they're not talked about much at my B&M. They don't say anythign bad about them, but nothing good either. That and after the Ashton rep was such a *** at the San Cristobal event I vowed to never buy another Ashton. I broke that but I bought the VSG enchantment in St. Louis, so it came from a different rep. It made me feel better.

If its nice this weekend I'll smoke the Belicoso that I've had since August. To celebrate the succesful installation of my new front door which is my project for the weekend.

I completely lied. I did smoke a VSG, the one that you sent me kuzi. I don't remember it at all, not a good sign.

Is the VGS anything like the VSG?

Have you done your dishes yet?

HA! I don't think he can reach the sink in the clubhouse. You might need to get him a step stool.

Yeah, I don't let him wash up in the humi. Throws the humidity off. The cedar covers the smell.

dutyje:

Jeez... I spent all dang weekend on those dishes... my hands are so pruned I don't think I'll be able to hold a cigar for a few days.

dishpan hands...gotta use palmolive

No problem Dep everyone has their own opinion. IMO the 2003 builds up, it get spicier and stronger while the 2006 is at its strongest when you first light it and it mellows as you smoke it.

I have two more, the first one didn't do that I'll see what the other one's do. If they both do that then I would be with you on prefering the 2003 over the 2006.

I've had at least 10-15 of each and this has been my generic experience. Not everyone I've smoked has fit that criteria but most have. My second issue is that the 2006 is a belicoso and it seems to build up tar where I've never had that experience with the 2003.

vankleekkw:

I think that the tar build up is common on the Tatuaje brands. I have had several from each line that did that.

Heh thats odd I've only had that issue with the Belicosos and the lanceros(El Truinfador).

Oh and by the way. Too all that have not had the El Triunfador, go buy them now. You don't understand what you are missing.

vankleekkw:

The monster was the worst. Every one I had was that way. I just put them back in the humi to age. Maybe the tar will lessen with age.

You mean the Frank? I refused to chase that thing down, Pete is wearing me down with all these hard to come by sticks.

vankleekkw:

Right place at the right time. Got them the minute Pete anounced locations. I ordered em before the store knew they were getting them.

I remember a few of you guys on CL doing that.

It will never end bc Pete is an @ss like that, he has all kinds of limited editions and one time runs, etc. haven't had a bad one yet tho ...:)
