For The Love Of Port

We had some nice Don Candidos, PL's with Candela wrappers, Dunhill B's which appeared to be Monte 2's in a 50 dress box!

Wow!! Now that's some major-league stuff that dreams are made of!!

I only picked up a 5'er of some 1950's Hoyo de Monterrey (EMS) Seleccion Superba de JJ No. 6. They're my first endeavor into this realm of the cigar world and given what I paid for them I should probably focus on starting a port collection instead . . . .

Thanks for the advice guys! I fully understand where this could lead as I have a humidor with approximately a couple thousand cigars in it.

I've been on enough boards to know that I should start with the obligatory introduction post, which I did yesterday. Roy and Andy suggested that I post this as a thread to see if anyone can give me any ...

Yeah, I guess that was a bit more than just a hello . . .

Hello FTLOP Forum, Another newbie here looking to further my knowledge in the world of this wonderful vino. I've enjoyed port for a number of years as I'm a bonafide cigar aficionado and there's nothing more I enjoy more with a fine cigar than an accompaniment of a fine glass of port. Unfortunately ...
