So what'll it be for 2023?
Anything we need to change? Any inputs to make it better are appreciated.
We'll put up a poll soon.

A few I can come with are Warped, Viaje, or DE.Quote:

With the broad catalog of DE, less opportunity for multiple repeats. I am open to anything, however. I say this not having hardly any DE in my humidor currently.
BWS/BLTC would be great in my book, but similar to Warped or Viaje, not as readily available for everyone, I don’t think.
AF could be another good option. Could extend the line to some JC Newman and Ashton. Not sure how far we want to stretch it out. Not a lot of budget options.
My Father could be another good one, especially if you extend to San Cristobal, LADC and others from the Pepin factory.
I know, not much help in pin-pointing something. Just getting some thoughts out there.
What do you guys think about smoking cigars from a certain country? Open it up a little for those of us who don’t have a huge variety. Nicaragua November, Dominican December, Maui Wowie March, for example. Just a thought! :)
I'm up for anything - either we'll have none, some, or a lot of whatever it is and have a whole year to accumulate from there to the extent any of us wish to participate.
I will regurgitate last year's runner up of AJ - talk about wide open and variety.
I like this idea personally, as i never have 30 of any particular thing on hand, but have enough variety to do a specific country for a month.Quote:

Good suggestion @Old Smokey

No worries. I was pretty sure that is what you meant, and most people sharper than me obviously understood, lolQuote:

Figured AJ would be suggested right off the bat. It was a close call last year betweem him and Tat. We'll make sure he is an option on the poll.
What are your thoughts on Old Smokey's idea of doing a particular country to open it up to more interesting variety and more people could participate too.Quote:

A quick look at the bigger vendors info on a cigar typically lists country of origin, filler, binder and wrapper types/countries.Quote:

Hope that helps @Old Smokey

Not to butt in since you weren't addressing me, but I think that's a good idea.Quote:

For BWS/BLTC we could do Oveja Negra to open it up.Quote:

I'm surprised AF hasn't been mentioned.
DE has a lot, and in many different pricepoints. Easy to get.
Warped and Viaje are a bit pricier and a bit HTF, but there's about 9-10 months to stock up. Could be Christmas wish items.
We can put all these up for voting, I suppose?
How's the following options going up on the poll look?:
>AJF
>Specific Country
>DE
>BWS/BLTC/Oveja Negro
>AF/JCN/Ashton
>MF/LADC/SC/Pepin
How about we get the poll up by 8 Aug. Voting ends on 15 Aug? Secondary voting (if needed) ends on 22Aug. Gives 9.5 months time to stock up?
Looks good to me.Quote:

@chain_gang
I didn't see Fuente mentioned.
Have they been done to death already?
If not, o think they would be a good addition. Tons of them to choose from, so you can smoke a different one every day instead of just a few different ones every day like with some marcas

Maybe we'll move this along a bit faster? I think we have a good selection to choose between.
@Nature , if no objections, could you assign a poll to this thread with the below tomorrow night?
>AJF
>Specific Country
>DE
>BWS/BLTC/Oveja Negro
>AF/JCN/Ashton
>MF/LADC/SC/Pepin
I see a lot of great suggestions already, I’ll wait for the poll to cast my vote.
Oops, duh.Quote:

Haven't voted yet but link takes me to poll
Lets push this back until our good friend, Tony, is fully recovered and is back in the full swing of the hobby. I don't, and I think we all don't, want him to miss out on the good times.
In the meantime, and sometime soon, but most likely a rainy day, I'll get the official thread going so we can post our AJF collections.
I know I still need some to make 30.
Also, help me fill in the AJF blanks with what he makes, both himself and the multitude of brands from his factory.

Just the tip.
In terms of quantity, he's almost as bad as Rocky!Quote:

Now that's just wrong I never had a bad aj. But I have been disappointed by rocky more than once.Quote:

Speaking of splits - some of those CI mega AJ packs could get us all to 30 in no time.
How on earth do you not have 30 aj? I bet you do and just do t realize it.Quote:

I too have never had a bad AJF.
