    Well it has come down to the last 3 days of my bet with the wife. I told her I'd be ordering my boxes on Friday ;) And I shall celebrate my win with a nice San Lotano Oval and a nice glass of Johnnie Walker Double Black.

    Way to go! Stay strong these last couple of days and enjoy your celebration...next time see if she'll bet you to give up alcohol for a couple of months and see what your reward might be.

    I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    Still trying to decide, lol. I think im def leaning towards a box of antillas, but ccom still doesn't have any...might have to go to my B&m. As for the other box...I have no idea yet. I did buy a pipe yesterday and tried it out. Loved it.

    Have you tried Aberlour? Marker suggested the Aberlour 12 a few months ago so I asked my wife to grab a bottle for me. She came in with the 16 year and it was love at first sip!

    How about Rip's review on the H Upmann EL '09 48. That is going to be my next box purchase. They are still available, so get one while you can.

    For those of you have been following this thread, I will be posting pics of the two boxes I bought this week. I just bought my second box yesterday from the beard. I should have a contest for someone who guesses the box I bought, but since I'm so damn busy I wouldnt trust myself on sending out the winnings in a timely fashion. But feel free to guess....here is a hint...my 2nd box cost $225.... ;) that's pretty vague....but this is a huge hint....they're maduros.
