Volusianator - Perdomo's "Cuban Bullet" has seriously taken me aback - I had avoided it because I admit at one time I was a brand snob... and I didn't want to smoke "seconds"... but they taste, and smoke amazing. I bought a few friday and have had two since... and at $12/6 they are a pretty good buy (like Padron used to be 10 years ago).
I also have been buying Cusano's seconds "MC", as well as Fonseca's seconds. There is a chain of shops here called "Tobacco Depot" and they've got a really good line with most manufacturers and they keep well stocked for everyday cheapie smokes.
For my favorites - I've got 8 habanos (1 cohiba gift, 3 Ramon Allones Specially Selected, 2 Partagas, 2 Raphael Gonzales petit coronas) in the humidor, the only other "special occasion" smokes that aren't habanas are 2 hoyo excalliburs, 2 padrons, 2 camacho corojos, and 2 punch rare corojos. With the exception of the cohiba, I've been holding onto those Habanos since before my son was born, 7 years ago... mostly because after I became a father there is NO WAY I can afford them anymore.
Maybe if we have a Florida X-marks meet up we can make sure we end up in a cigar bar somewhere.
Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude
