I guess it's that time of year...the time to have the CC ordering cherry be POPPED....here's my first order being placed:
1-Monte A
5-Party Lusitania's
2-Cohiba Esplendidos
2-Romeo Short Churchills
2-Partagas Serie D No. 4
2-Partagas Serie P No. 2
2-Monte Petite Edmundo

What are your guys' thoughts?

Very nice. There is always so much to try, very hard to get everything on the first pass.
I like the Monte A pick. It's unique, especially for the first order.

yea, i thought the same thing, i'll prolly get another 1 the next time around as well...i wanted to get 1 so i can start to age it for when i get married (i'm only 21, so it's a ways away, lol)

Great selection of sizes and brands. A bit of advice, which you've pretty much followed, be sure to order more than one of the same cigar. There's always a chance you might get a dud and you don't want to be turned off of a smoke just because you only had one to try. I think you'll definitely want to get more Monte As if you're saving them for the wedding. You'll probably want to share.

Next time, I'd also recommend the Hoyo Double Corona and the Bolivar Coronas Gigantes. Both are smoking great right now -- especially the current '06-'07 Boli CGs.

Now that's thinking ahead lol.
Next round throw some Boli's & Trini's in there

yea...my source is out of Trini Reyes singles right now....and that was the 1 cigar that i wanted for this order, if anybody has some that I could buy off of them or trade for say 2 or 3, send me an email....i will for sure get some more Monte A's and the Boli CG in the next go around

Seriously, I'd pass on the Monte A's. I had one and it was terribly plugged. I'd suggest a Hoyo DC for a big special occasion cigar.

How does the Hoyo DC stack up with the Hoyo '07 Regalos EL?

Well, the one I had had a few years age on it, and it was amazing. But who knows how the Regalos will be..

Partagas Serie P No. 2

I have one of these from my trip to Puerto Vallarta last month and it's been really really hard to keep my hands off of it.

I can't wait to post my list like this

I think you'll be overly satisfied with those Lusitanias...Never had a monte A but I can't imagine it being any better...Good looking selection there bud...

very nice line-up...

for a first purchase, you really did get some grade A smokes... bravo ...

i know you'll enjoy them !!!

Great first order. I'm sure you'll soon find out that it takes a while to try all the brands and sizes. I've made five or six singles orders and still have ten or so elusive cigars I want to try!

Nice order. Glad to see you took the plunge. Let us know how they smoke.

great looking order!

my advice is to get at lease three of each that you want to sample. I ordered two of several types and everytime I reach for one, I realize that I will only have "one" left. It paralyzes me for a second, and then I reach for a different smoke. CRAP!

luckily, I had 4 monty #2's so one of them bit the dust this last weekend, very nice......
