Kilted_Surveyor said:However, as I was smoking it, it developed a burn hole on it :eusa_doh: (see picture). I have smoked hundreds of cigars and never once has this happened. Has anyone else had this happen?
RedPop4 said:The other Saturday cigar, I'd forgotten was a Bucanero. These were the hot brand three years ago. Their policy of only dealing with brick-and-mortar retailers has hurt them in the online cigar world. They're not available many online places. But it rewards their loyal shops. Have to like that about them.
rbbrock said:For me, Ashtons are hit and miss. I've not particularly liked the San Cristobals I smoked. I have a few resting to see if they improve with some time, but considering their cost I doubt I'll find them worth it anyway. VSGs I adore, Ashton Aged Maduros are pretty darn good, and the rest of their lines I'm not especially fond of, unless I am in the rare mood for a very mild smoke.
But if they fit one's taste, it is certainly hard to argue with the high quality of the tobacco and the construction of the cigars. They are pretty much top-notch. (Then again, most of them are made by Fuente, so what else would you expect?)
Last night I smoked a DPG blue Delicias (churchill) from a box I bought a couple months ago. It was pretty tasty; they're coming along nicely and should be pretty much ready to go in another couple of months.

jamespowers said:There are certain things you have to get online because they are not available or not allowed locally.
SGB said:If I have to buy it online then I generally don't buy it. I have had to buy one brand online once, and it was a compromise. One reason is you need to inspect the product before you purchase it, especially cigars which are handmade. What cigars are not allowed locally? Availabilty I can understand.

SGB said:I would never consider an online purchase of any of those.

jamespowers said:You miss out on quite a few things then.
SGB said:No I don't. I probably have more to select from and am more connected than you could imagine.
