I think they're packed a bit loose (except the one I tried today), as they only burn for about an hour and a half, which is about how long I take to smoke a normal toro or churchill.
Time for another update on my list so far.
MUWAT - not sure the name of the vitola but they have a 70RG
AB Texas lancero - 70RG
INCH gordo - 70RG
Nub 466 - 66RG
Kristoff Kristania gordo - 70RG
Fat Boy - all lines look like 70RGs
Asylum 13 Ogre 7x70
Asylum 13 Ogre 6x80 - Purchased and resting
Schizo 7x70
Garzilla 6x83
Hemingway Masterpiece 9x52
RomaCraft Cromagnon Femur
Natural by Drew Estate Egg
JFR Lunatic 8x80 - Purchased and resting
Gran Momba 14x78
Puros Indios Gran Victoria
CAO Flathead 7x70
Casa Blanca Jeroboam 10x66
Flor de Oliva 10x66
I can knock out a few more of those locally next payday, and possibly add a few more to the list. I have a way to store them all now as well.
If you see anything else you want to see a poor schmuk review thats either large or oddly shaped copy the list and throw it on. I'll be working on acquiring as many as I can over the next few weeks to hopefully kick this off by the end of the month. Assuming I survive all the jokes I'm getting from my wife.
I eagerly await your reviews of the big things you're about to stick in yer mouth.:):)
Man, we need more emoticons. I cannot even express myself properly without a sufficient array of computer generated thingies to fully communicate the extremely limited range of emotions I attempt to convey in real life and fail miserably at.
Has anyone yet suggested the Victor Sinclair 70rg Boxpress? :puke:
I would hate myself for it, but I would give it a shot. As much as I do not like any Victor Sinclair I have tried.Quote:

EL Monstruo
(single)
This massive 140+ Ring Gauge by 8.5 inch Bazuka is so enormous that we make it by special order ONLY in very limited quantities. This is an extremely rare size and there is nothing like it of this quality anywhere in the world. The gargantuan Monstruo is a great smoking cigar with an easy draw that produces a medium bodied smoke with an incredibly rich, warm and earthy flavor.
Price: $20.00

Those Gran Victorias are pretty good smokes. Much better than the larger Chief.
How long did it take to put it to bed?Quote:

But, if you want to do a bunch of reviews of them, I will definitely read them!
Who knows, maybe you will change my mind :stogie:
Drawing from the old memory bank, I want to say it took around 4 hours for the Gran Vicky and 7+ for the Chief.Quote:

On the Double Happiness sampler, you can light either end. They also have a band in the middle that indicates where to cut them if you want a robusto. I never tried to smoke one without cutting it. Got 2 boxes of 10 back in 2012 from the devil site. Included were 5 Vegas, Man of War, Gurkha, Graycliff, Predomo and CI house brand.
Gurkha Ancient Warrior Presidente - 8.5x52
I bought two of these for $2 each last January for s*its & giggles. I smoked one in September when my wife was traveling. Three plus hours of pure Gurkha. I'll gladly donate the other one. It should be fantastic with a year of resting... :confused:
You sure make it sound like you want to repeat the experience. It's a bit smaller than most on the list, but if you send it I will review it.Quote:

It had moments where it wasn't bad. But, it's three hours of Gurkha. I'll gladly donate a cigar for a review, just to see someone admit that they've smoked a Gurkha. I figure that's what makes it a unique stick...
haha I have a few pretty big cigars in an old humi that have been sitting for a LONG time... I believe some probably have 15+ years on them. Bottom line is I was honestly just too scared to even try and smoke em... If you want I can post a pic and I'll donate 1 to be reviewed.
You are welcome to post up or donate anything, but donations are not necessary. I was just hoping for a list of giant sticks or oddball shapes because one man cannot possibly find them all. If nothing else it might add more cigars to my list.Quote:

You'll be doing me a favor as the sticks do take up quit a bit of room...Quote:

Hey, I said the log is for novelty purposes. The missus calls me a lumberjack because I'll disappear into the woods and walk out with a table. It's only suiting!Quote:

I cant see that thing without hearing the Log commercial from the Ren and Stimpy cartoons. "It's better than bad, it's good!"Quote:

Are you not interested in custom made cigars? I seemed to have not notice a response to my post?
I'm sorry, I must have missed them. Were you referring to the Bazukas or the one you posted a picture of?Quote:

Do you roll your own cigars?
that's alright, it just seems strange that you would miss a post in your own thread. no? I heard "large or otherwise unique cigars." and my mind went. Both of them are custom.Quote:

Yes, I do roll my own and, have interests in others.
I will likely build up my stock from local sources before I start shopping around, just so I have some stuff waiting and acclimating. I'll lool into the Bazukas sometime in the next few weeks.Quote:

the Culebricoso CSH 143. Culebricoso = vitola, CSH = corojo, sumatra, habana 2000 binder/wrappers, 143 = is the blend, piloto cubano, Nicaraguan and, mata fina.
technique.. loose estrujado bunch, braid pressed (4 strand round spiral), closed head and foot.
I was looking at the Thompson catalog (why???) this a.m. and came across this monstrosity:
http://www.cigarcyclopedia.com/webap...%20124x355.gif
Thompson Emperador 15x120 (it's a figurado so the RG varies).
But is it worth the potential headache of repeat calls and auto shipments? That would certainly be one of the longer smokes.Quote:
