Why the fun just never stops with Thompson cigars!
I'm over at their auction site (see my other post about a good deal I picked up) and I see the Emperador available for relatively cheap - $7. I bid on it an lo and behold I win it.
just what is an Emperador? It is a mammoth among mammoth cigars. A 15" x 70/100 perfecto. Hand-made long (and I do mean LONG) filler with a one-piece wrapper that must have come from a tobacco tree.
It is cool and absurd at the same time. It is a cigar to pull from under your jacket when granted a last smoke before the firing squad. A cigar when you walk into a room, you break a window on the far wall.
Monica Lewinsky would run screaming from the Oval Office.
I mean it's big. When you smoke this cigar around the house, well, you know how that one goes.
It is one cudgel of a smoke. Thing is, it's too big to fit in any ordinary humidor.
I have a cabinet it could fit into, but that is chock full without room for a spare panatela let alone a cigar the size of my fore arm.
Hell, I might have to smoke it. |

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. I've seen this one.
So, you going to take the weekend and smoke it? |

No, not going to smoke it - not yet, and maybe just not.
That ties in to a post up in Lounge about collecting.
The good news is that I re=arranged the cabinet humidor and forced, er, found space for it. Right up on the top shelf with the Puros Indios Gran Victoria 10 x 60 perfecto which I also will not smoke at least not until I get another one if I can. |

Why you are storing Cigars? If you are never going to smoke that then you should sell those cigars to me.

Hello Andrew.
As I mentioned elsewhere on this site, I collect cigars, particularly perfectos.
It would soon be not very much of a collection were I to smoke the cigars constituting said collection.
Besides, although this cigar is no doubt smokable, when does one smoke a 15 inch long and 1 9/16 inch diameter cigar and not have it be a joke? |

Welcome a-"board" stphn.
How big is your cabinet humidor which you describe elsewhere as a furniture humidor?
You're preaching to the choir here - believe me I know that having a 1,000 cigar cabinet doesn't mean that you won't have too many cigars to fit. |
