I just bought a few cigars off a contractor out here. He had a huge humidor, and I pretty much picked through it and set aside the cigars I wanted. All total there were 31, all in great shape. I asked him , how much he wanted. He asked for $70, I gave him $80. Here is what I got for $80:

2 Gurkha Regent Torpedos
2 Gurkha Master Select Robustos
3 Gurhka Doble Maduros
1 Gurkha Fuerte
3 CI Legends Orange Label (Rocky Patel)
1 Rocky Patel Fusion Double Maduro
2 Rocky Patel Connecticuts
1 Rocky Patel Signature
5 5 Vegas 'A', different sizes
1 5 Vegas Gold
1 Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ
1 CAO Criollo
1 CAO Brazilia
1 Graycliff Crystal
1 Sancho Panza Double Maduro
1 Maxx
1 Montecristo White
3 Alec Bradley Prymes

    Yeah, maybe it wasn't actually the deal of a lifetime, but I was pretty excited about it, lol. I got alot of cigars I have been dying to try, and I will be smoking quite a bit over the next few days. I am pretty much done here, just waiting to fly out, so I have alot of down time.

    I cant get over how cheap cigars are for you guys in the states. Over hear the cheapest cigars I can get that are actualy any good are around £7 - £8, witch is around $10. I have orderd some cigars from your side of the pond, but I have heard customs can seize them so Iam a bit aprehensive as to weather or not they will turn up.

    I was mistaken about two of the cigars in there. Instead of Rocky Patel Connecticuts, they were Vintage 1999 Connecticuts. I'm not sure what the difference in taste is, but the Vintage 1999 Connecticuts were awesome, the best mild bodied cigar I have had yet.

    Haven't had the 1999's or the connecticuts.
