A modest purchase.

[akreissl]

Hey all, got some new arrivals.
On Saturday I bought a Partagas Serie D No. 4 (after hearing brilliant reviews I decided I had to take the plunge), plus 2 CAO Criollos, not a bad stick for the price, ?2.75. I also got a machine made (unfortunately) Vasco Da Gama Whisky flavoured cigar, it looked appealing.

Today I went again and got a Cohiba Siglo II on recommendation from a friend, and they were on offer, ?11. Also I bought 2 more Criollos.

Any thoughts? Never had the Partagas or Cohiba before so what's the consensus?

Really cant go wrong with a Siglo II or a D4 mate, nice purchases.

Agree 100%. Try the Party P2. A bit more pricey but v. nice.

Some quality purchases there my friend. Might have to have a Party D4 or a Siglo II later mmmmm

All good excpet the Vasco... i had a whole box of them i bought in france really cheap.. my vascos were coronas and they were the biggest waste of money id ever spent.. but hey, you know me, still smoked them lol

Really eggopp? They sure smell nice. I haven't put it in the humi for fear it will impart on the flavour.

Darn it. Looks like that's ?8 down the drain! Could of gotten a CAO Maduro for that.

smoke it and do a review.. i just looked and thought i reviewed it but didnt

[akreissl]

I might have it tomorrow, having a mini herf with a friend in the summerhouse in the garden. It's not 10 Manchester St, but not bad!

EDIT - totally forgot to reply to you, I'll do a review then!

[leperaffinity]

the criollo...from c aston? might have to pick one up tomorrow if so!

[akreissl]

Yeah, they have them labelled as 'Pampa', about halfway down on the left side. ?2.75 I believe. Quite a bargain. I've introduced someone to cigars today with a Criollo :P

[leperaffinity]

might have to pick one up...how are they size wise?
look for the cao brazillia in there when you next go..its labelled the 'pirana' as its the size

[akreissl]

The Criollos are, just let me check...

4"x40

But a good 45 minute stick for under ?3, ?1 per 15 minutes!
