Max's Cigar Journey

[Max A]

I must say you are doing really well gathering an interesting selection of cigars as you find your way!! I hope you are keeping notes! These will be really handy over time!

I do have an observation, see it?

Diplomáticos El Ambajador 2015 - limited release, discontinued 2015
La Gloria Cubana Serie D No.5 2017 - limited release, discontinued 2017
Trinidad Coloniales 2015 - 4 years aged
Vegas Robaina Clásicos 2006 - discontinued 2012

Need to get me some Mananitas!

Well observed! I definitely got lucky with these ones! A nice few to add to the list.

As for note taking, I do some basic note taking but I feel my ability to compare is improving with each cigar. Originally I didn't really know what' was a good cigar for me as I had no experiences to compare with. I currently use Evernote for my note taking, but I will be creating a review document using Google Sheets, I'll score each cigar on certain things, as well as a quick general review. It could be useful to share with other people for them to compare too! Potentially, multiple people could use the same template and we could link all the sheets, so for example you could search a specific box code to read trusted reviews from people you know before pulling the trigger on a new box...

So I've had a few small additions.. keeping it to singles still.

Thanks to JoeyGunz for the Vegueros Mananita.




I have also taken delivery of a few interesting singles.... thanks to a mystery man that lurks in the shadows.... Let the guessing begin!

I plan to get through most of these smokes in the coming couple of months... So I should be okay.

You can quote this later down the line if I don't keep my word

Months? Weeks more like!

If it ends in a '0' or a '5' theres a chance of a cigar or the Lynx Africa gift set Keith donated.

I bought this and a couple of boxes to get the FIL started.

Here's a little update for you all!

Last week I received a beautiful sampler from the man, the myth, the legend - Haaltert



I was lucky enough to get hold of:

• Montecristo Tubo 2010
• Choix Suprème 2018
• Bolivar Super Coronas, Edición Limitada 2014

---

Thanks to Vitola (The Packaging Artist) I have been provided with some NCs to give a try

This man is taking packaging to the next level, I don't have photos, but the packaging was done incredible well. I was also provided with a few notes on each stick, which has been very helpful!



Here we have:

• Leon Jimenes - Petit Corona
• Alejandro Lopez - Short/Petit Robusto
• Quesdada 40th Anniversary Petit Belicoso
• Alejandro Lopez Robusto
• Casa Cuba
• Xikar HC Habanos2 pyramide by AJ Fernandez

---

Just this morning I received my latest addition, thanks to franco who is a pleasure to speak with.



The contents:

• Partagas Serie D No.4 (I have been trying to get a Partagas for a little while now)
• A few Johny O Customs to keep me busy - My first customs too!

Enjoy them Max, glad they finally arrived

Only helping out, I can assure you that there are some real legends around here

Hang on .... do you even have space for all this!?!

Yep - Remember the small 2 litre plastic container I originally purchased?

This is it before my last two deliveries:



I invested in a 5ltr container this time....I'll wait for the comments....
