    Holy crap with that budget I'd need a walk-in in no time. I have absolutely no idea how much a month on average I spend on cigars. I don't wanna know. I have a play money budget. I try to stay within that.
    Well, $200 is tentative. That is about what I spend on cigarettes now, so with me quitting it isn't really costing us any more. At least that's how I explained it to her, lol. As the months go by, we will see how much I spend on average in a month and probably re-adjust it.

    Let's be honest here...
    Jet / Dude words I have learned to live by... Did I tell you guys about my new box of Nordings ? ( my wife just asked what was delivered by UPS today) I told her it was her birthday present.
    It must be nice, having a wife who smokes cigars, too.
    Yeah right, she knows better... Her birthday is in April so she knows I'm a liar.

    Well, you have to give them some time to rest.

    I just ordered up some o' them Nordings you boys been blatherin' on about.

    I think you'll like them. Aesthetically they remind my very much of a Fuente. Taste wise, I think its a very classical cigar along the lines of a Fuente of Ashton although I wouldn't say that it tastes anything like a Fuente or Ashton. If that makes sense.

    Not much, but I wrung all I could out of it. :)

    Fairly typical, it makes since in my head but fails to when it leaves there. Its a classical cigar IMO. Fuente's and Ashtons are also classical cigars IMO. However, while I think the Nordings and the Fuente/Ashton's share many similar traits including some flavor nuances, I would not say that the Nordings taste like a Fuente or an Ashton. They leave me with a similar impression though.

    If that still doesn't make sense I'll just admit defeat at trying to articulate this thought.

    i see what you are saying. the smoke does have a classic feel to it. i dont think they have a taste that is similar to ashton or fuente. i dont know how else to put it but its fairly clear to me that it was blended by a pipe tobacco blender.

    Good observation. I hadn't thought about that.

    I thought RP blended it for Nording. Erik put together the blend himself?

    That version made sense, maddy.

    My understanding(well according to RP's site) Rocky blended it then Erik liked it and asked if he could use it.

    So while he didn't create it himself, he liked it. So I can see where it might be said that it has a pipe smokers appeal.

    It happens from time to time.
