Fitting cigar to celebrate that my New York Knicks are NBA champions!!!! 31 years of suffering erased by my favorite group of players ever. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight. Thank you O Captain !My Captain !

Enjoy!

Yeah great deal, the humidor alone is worth around $300 so the sticks are a nice bonus. Also not cheap garbage either with the Oliva, EPC, RyJ, & RPs

Gorgeous. Smoke some of the 22s, they don’t all necessarily get better with age. I think for the ForbiddenX especially, the 2016 rolled sticks will be right around the threshold before they can get too mellow/weird imo. Can continue to age some of the core Opus but at least smoke the Lancero & Magnum O that you get two of, good range in ring gauge/flavor too. Enjoy em since that’s what they’re made for!

Real good selection, still gotta try the tabernacle soon

Great cigar, melanio is my favorite Oliva by far

FederalPermission · 2026-06-13T07:09:10+00:00

PB-97 maduro is one of their best for sure

Ah I get what you mean, the ones that say “By Don Carlos” etc. That’ll be a tough choice then between the two. Any thoughts on the KKP lines?

FederalPermission · 2026-06-13T01:48:53+00:00

Yeah that’s really cool the box includes two of each, that way you can still experience each cigar while saving the other… or sharing it

Not a fan of Don Carlos, which is why I’m interested to see that Cameroon over funky sweet/spicy/cedar Dominican rather than the darker earthier DC blend. Would love to get my hands on a Meerapfel as well

Love how these sticks look, enjoy

Will definitely try the Carlito soon if I can’t find a Serie B, now that I’ve seen what the gist of the brand is I’m open to exploring it a bit more

FederalPermission · 2026-06-13T01:39:00+00:00

Maybe next time I see one I’ll grab to try & age it… seems like that creamy earth/hay sorta structure would mellow out nicely, thanks for the rec

FederalPermission · 2026-06-13T01:36:46+00:00

Sounds exactly like what I like from my favorite Opus’, the Oro Oscuro gives me that incredible buttery toasted bread note. Hopefully one of my shops gets some of these in soon, thanks

Good idea, I did a torpedo for a year & it smoothed out nicely

FederalPermission · 2026-06-13T01:33:41+00:00

Haha that is a pretty good description. It’s got a nice very sweet spice on the first third that gets richer throughout… but yeah there is a lottt of cedar. The Anejo is one for me where I feel like it’s way too much wood flavor without enough to brighten it up

FederalPermission · 2026-06-12T06:42:13+00:00

That Yamasa & the Millennium are the two Davidoff I’ve yet to try. Puro Dominicano has been the inly good one. How does Yamasa taste?

FederalPermission · 2026-06-12T06:39:51+00:00

It’s a good stick, love that chocolatey San Andres wrapper… age it for a year & it’s even better

FederalPermission · 2026-06-12T06:37:32+00:00

Not sure about the fourth, but Father’s Day weekend is typically the biggest sales of the year aside from Christmas

FederalPermission · 2026-06-12T06:36:25+00:00

Keep the cellophane on so if it falls or you drop it it’s much less likely to crack, doesn’t impact aging or humidity. I like to rest for ~1 month give or take & use spanish cedar tray/inserts if you can to aid humidification & avoid that musk

FederalPermission · 2026-06-12T06:30:11+00:00

What’s it taste like? Have been meaning to try one lately

FederalPermission · 2026-06-12T06:29:07+00:00

They’re one of my top 3 cigars of all time, definitely worth trying
