You won't be disappointed. Everybody loves them.

Let me know if you want any more recommendations. I can point you out to a lot of great CCs.

You guys just reminded me that I never even smoked a cigar for the birth of my son or anything else in a couple months! Crazy travel schedule and all, but I think I'll hit the store in Vegas when I'm down there next week. Diamond crown #8, one of my favs when I originally started smoking.

I'm gonna see how they hold up 10 years later with lots of cigar experiences between then and now.

+1 for you. I used to only smoke OPUS but after years went back to Cubans I like the Bolivar Petite Corona, good short smoke...

Congrats on your newborn son! That will make your Diamond Crown taste that much sweeter. It is always nice to stop and smell the cigar smoke once in a while.

If you like those, then you should definitely try the Bolivar Short Bolivar, which was a 2008 regional edition for the Asia-Pacific region. A really rich and creamy short smoke.

Now your making me want to go out and get some Cohiba Esplendidos. Those Bolivars sound good too.

^ Don't get the Esplendidos, an overrated and overpriced cigar IMO. The Siglo VIs are a better cigar (albeit still expensive at around $18 a stick).

Yes, Siglo VIs are definitely the bomb. I do enjoy the Esplendidos, but they are a bit overpriced.

I finally got a chance to light this cigar, and so far so good. It has a solid white ash, and draws nicely. Hopefully it dont creep up on me Name:  IMG00053-20110125-2247.jpg
