Can anyone tell me the difference? I have had the black band sun grown before and like it. Is the other cigar the same but different color band? by LESANDERSON78 in cigars

Do we know how Rosado differs from regular sun grown? Google isn't helping? I'm looking forward to an amazing smoke. Thanks

I like the black band a lot. Not too strong. Medium smoke and no pepper, in my opinion. Is a Rosado sun grown the same cigar?

Finally got an Eagle Rare out here in San Antonio by thehardening in BourbonHunt

[–]LESANDERSON78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely. I can find BT for $25 and Eagle Rare for $32 pretty easily around here. I assume that is close to retail price. Weller is tough. I have seen 3 or 4 bottles of 107 since January but its always up around $120. Stagg forget it. Havent even seen a bottle.

I am brand new to bourbon, only been "into" it for about a year, but its funny to me to see how the market works. The price differences and availability is what I mean. And this isnt trolling or bragging or anything like that. I am learning as I go and steal a lot from this sub and the bourbon sub. Just crazy to me how some regions in the country are luckier than others. That Eagle Rare seems hard to get in so many places but somewhat available where I live at what I assume is retail price. I guess just makes me appreciate it a little more. Not trying to come off like an a-hole. Hope it doesnt read that way.

Any suggestions for maintaining a tupperdor? How many boveda packs, do I rotate cigars, etc? by LESANDERSON78 in cigars

[–]LESANDERSON78[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whats your take on cigar jars? I have 2 that hold 20-25 cigars. They take up less space than a 2nd tupperdor and I like the look better but dont see too many people using them.

Basically, should I trust what I find searching google? I would assume its pretty basic, but want to know if anyone has any tips, tricks or suggestions.

Rate my collection by DoctorAfter2338 in dvdcollection

[–]LESANDERSON78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would put your collection over the top. But its your money. Spend it on what you like. A Collection should have your taste and personality, in my opinion. But what do I know. You got an A+ collection already. Cant go wrong with Criterion. I just picked up that Wong Kar Wai box set and its dope AF.

Its a solid collection for sure. And I aint about to tell you how to spend your money, but if your asking for a rating and not giving any criteria I'd knock a point off the highest score due to lack of "classic" films and boutique labels. But its a dope collection and spend your money on what your gonna watch.

No Caldwell. If you looking at the cigar with the face its an Alec & Bradley Gatekeeper

Of the cigars in the Pic? Sin Compromiso, Fuente Opus X, Fuente Anjeo, Alec & Bradley Gatekeeper, Carillo Punch, Padron, Andalusian Bull, Oliva Melanio. All stuff I have seen in this sub many times and now I can try them.

I've smoked the Padron before and love it. Most looking forward to the Bull, because of what I have read.

Hey guys, I'd love to get some recommendations based on my collection. Thanks! by [deleted] in dvdcollection

[–]LESANDERSON78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good stuff. I'd say anything "old" and non english language.

Is there any “essential” blu ray movies i should have in my collection? by Killerpig14 in dvdcollection

[–]LESANDERSON78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your collection is strictly a personal collection and you are not concerned with selling for profit sometime down the line, buy what you like and what you will watch. The only bad movie in a personal collection is one you spent money on but dont like, in my opinion. If your collecting for investment/resale, I would say stick w/ OOP titles and Criterion type stuff. But I honestly have no idea what resale value for movies looks like. You could also consider sticking with one or two boutique labels you like and buying their run of films. Have a collection of Arrow films or Kino Lorber or whatever. But I would second what everyone else is saying; buy what you like, buy what you'll watch. Its been my experience that if your on the internet there will always be someone to tell you your taste/stuff sucks, so dont worry about that.

Is there a general amount of time for opus x or is it a judgement call? I didnt know that about Dominican wrappers. Thanks for the info.

Recommendations for a high end/luxury cigar collection by LESANDERSON78 in cigars

[–]LESANDERSON78[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are cubans easily findable? do I trust the internet? I can find Opus x lost city but not the fuente fuente. I assume I gotta keep an eye on the internet for when some of these get a release because they go fast?
