Wow!!! How long has it been?!! Welcome back!!!

Thank you, nice to see some familiar faces euh, names.

My latest post was 8 years ago 😲

it`s been awhile but .... hi guys.

my treasure chest

I remember.

Glenfarclas 40 yr and Bunnahabhain 25 years are in my cabinet and are my favourites.

But i really like the 12 yrs from both distilleries too

You tube can be your friend

Good choice! So tempted to get one as well. Which version did you get? V1 or v2?

Thats how rusty i`m..........didn`t even know there where 2 versions.

What`s the difference?

@ Chronus, go ahead you know you want to.

It`s just one extra watch.

What did you order?

IWC 3777. Arrived yesterday, very nice.

I`m from those days and just recently came back after a 2 year break.

And of course i ordered a watch.

H.Upmann magnum 50 LE 2005 pairing with a Bunna 25 yr.................It`s beginning to look a lot like christmas.

Been away for awhile and was reading up.

Hope he is fine again.

bolivar petit belicosos le 2009. Great cigar

Anyone out here?

So finally this thread went silent

The good die young Doc because it's hell on Earth. Clive however, will outlive me merely to spite me. If there really is an afterlife that is interactive with the living realm, I'm going to send that old son-of-a-[censored] head over heels everytime he even looks at a staircase.

The love is still there i see.

Aww, shucks!

I'll be back properly at some point; it's hard to imagine never returning to the forums.

That would have been this one, taken in May 9, 2006, back when I was still learning how to photograph watches.

Pfewww, glad my memory is still ok.

But looking back at it now......................................you`ve grown.

So you can imagine what you and others have contributed to this great board.

I`ve been gone too for some time so i didn`t notice puggy was mia.

But i remember (if i recollect correctly) his first picture on this or the old board.

It was i believe a timberland watch and i thought this guy was a pro.

Great shot and he raised the level of members watch pictures to another level.

For some reason he got burned with that topic, couldn`t understand why though.

But welcome back Puggy.

Funny site i think.

You want to kill your boss, neighbour, mother-in-law, wife........don`t.

Relieve your agression here.

First fight is with me.

Bring it on!

I can see this went as well as the shortest thread version.

Wow blast from the past.

How are you doing my friend?

I`m doing fine thanks.

I check in every once in a while to see how you`re all doing.

Your Bergies corner has my extra attention............................looks great.

So it`s allowed these days to post here?

Still running i see.

Have a good one.

definately a must (El Morro) .. i put them up there straight away with the RA Gigantes.. Saint Louis Rey DC.. and Hoyo DC.. and the Luci's and Punch DC.. in the same class..

One petite corona you must check out .. Por Laraunaga (sic)... not easy to get because they are a small Brand Co. and their release of thes are few and far between .. but complex, and gets more full bodied in a short time..

Have all the cigars you mention in your first sentence except for the SLR don`t like them.

And please stop mentioning the other must buy`s.

The bill is already sky high.

Regional editions are in my book just another way for Habanos/Altadis to generate more money.

I have them of course so i felt for it.

Last year we had the Benelux Regional Edition the Ramon Allones Specially Selected Gran Robusto.

Smoked one a year ago and one recently world of difference but they will get better and maybe even super great within years.

I read that you have to extract moisture from your humidor.

It`s the opposite for me i have to use a humidifier.

don't hesitate on the El Morro's 01... 90 % of them will be outstanding.. the other 10% will just be great.. .. they are very consistant in their Quality

That settles it then.................................next purchase will be the El Morro`s.

Lanikai, what do you think about the new release of the Magnum 50`s from H.Upmann.

I find them great and think they will be excellent in a few years.

I`ve got one box of the initial EL release of the Magnum 50`s from 2005 and they are so good.

Only got one box so will only smoke them once in a while.

The Muralla is exeptional too...what is the box code on yours ?

I have the Sir Winston's 01 and the H Upmann Monarcas ... you will find the only difference in the Sir Winstons and the Monarcas is the price.. same ligero.. and wrapper.. the Sir Winstons are much more pricey.. so I jus let them age and smoke my 01 Monarcas .. you have great taste in vitola's btw..

The boxcode on the Muralla`s is ENE 06 great smoke but i will try too let them rest for a couple of years.

I have a box of aged Monarca`s (NOV 00) but find them stronger than the Winstons, less refined.

I have been thinking about buying a box of the El Morro`s can buy one from DEC 01 but was a bit reluctant.

It`s a bit of hit and miss with boxes from the 99 - 01 releases.

Will try an el principe on your advice one of these days.

And too all the Cuban members............................thank you!
