I got this in a sampler about 3 weeks ago and just got to it, and it is by far the best one I've had yet. Even burn, good draw and amazing flavor. I will definately be ordering more of these.
After smoking the Nic 1000 and 3000, I wanted to try the Nic 2000. I found this stick to be at best mediocre. A very soft cigar with a crocked burn, moderate amount of smoke, OK aroma and not much flavor. Glad I got these very cheap on auction. The Nic 1000 is significantly better, as is the 3K.

I have smoked a couple bundles of these and me and my buddies think they taste alot like Rockys AMS never had a bad one out of the bundles and the sticks are well made. nice burn, draw and flavor. give them a try not as good as AMS but close in profile and quality.0 0
I was very pleased with my first experience smoking this cigar. It was every bit worth the price. I thought it was better after leaving in humidor for a couple of days.0 0
This is a very nice cigar for the price. I was looking for something less expensive to replace the awesome Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 that I regularly smoke, without compromising on flavor. Well, at first I was worried since these were so cheap but they fit the bill just fine. The Connecticut wrapper still gives you that awesome buttery, creamy flavor in these sticks. The burn is great too. I'm smoking one now and I have about 2 inches of ash still attached to the cigar. A testament to how well these are made. The negative review that was given because of the "cow manure" odor by someone is completely uncalled for and should not be considered the only factor that makes a good or bad cigar. Some of the nicest cigars out there do not smell very good unless they are lit. The RP Edge Maduro is one of them, it does not have a very pleasant odor unlit, yet it's one of the most popularly acclaimed cigars out there and also tastes great. If you're looking for a nice Connecticut wrapper cigar and don't want to break the bank, you can't go wrong with these. Give them a try.0 0
I just received these and smoked one right away. My last cigar was an H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon...I enjoyed this one better. Such an easy draw and lots of smoke even though I used a V cutter on it. Light gray to white ash and firm and pleasant cap. More relaxing than Ghurka and H. Upmann because I didn't have to struugle for a good draw. A consistant, even smoke with a toasty, woody taste with little to no pepper. It was VERY flavorful the first 1/3, I was surprised because it's supposed to be mild-medium. It's VERY well made, this may end up my every day smoke. I can't see how you could be disappointed. Famous hit a home run with this one! Thanks guys!0 0
I was looking for a good cigar for work. I frequently have to throw my cigar out unfinished and needed a cheaper everyday cigar. These fit the bill wonderfully. They have a great draw which is one of my pet peeves and good flavor. I also took them to the hunting trailer and all the guys enjoyed them. I will definitely being purchasing more.0 0
I know know why people have rated these so high. I can honestly say they smoke like a cigar costing 4 times as much. Smoked one right off of the delivery truck and was very pleased. Had another today and confirmed that the first one wasn't a fluke...0 0
This is really the perfect cigar, an excellent smoke and a bargain price. If you like a mild smoke you absolutely cannot go wrong with these!0 0
Enjoyed this one very much. A great mild smoke. Started out just a little harsh but settled into a very tasty, somewhat piney taste, that I like very much. Intend to get more soon.0 0
I am new to cigar smoking, while I have been trying some of the premier brands I must say this is an excellent smoke for the money. a tad harsher than the name brands, but if you are looking for an excellent every day smoke for a great price, these are quite a value. I defintely recommend this purchase0 0

buying on a dip
Featured on my RBI podcast of 2/10, I favor this Rule Breaker to beat the market over the next three years.
IPGP has been one one of those stocks that just produces sales and revenue year after year.
They have a market cap of 4.22B making them a little big but they only have a pe of 17.92. They trade 24 million a day, so if you need to get and out of this stock, it is an easy thing to do.
They have a PEG ratio of 1.34 for the next 5 years and icurrent earnings stay in line then it the PE could fall to 15.80. They have a nice profit margin of 26.88% and an operating margin of 37.92%. With a Return of assets of 16.18% and Return on Equity of 21.11% I believe this company deserves a second look.
With insiders holding 34.30% you know that that management will keep this company on a profit track.
who doesn't like lasers? King of the laser market! And the kindome is expanding!
Stock price could double by 2017
Wish I would have made this call a couple months (or years) sooner, but better late than never. :-)
Sales and margins have both accelerated since 2013. The company has experienced leadership (founder-led), rising free cash flow production, a healthy balance sheet with minimal debt and more than $650M in cash, and a nice market tailwind behind it as the adoption of fiber lasers picks up and IPG continues to grow its market share.
A lot to like here, and the stock is trading below a P/E of 20 even with the recent run-up. Outperform.
laser leader - marking, making, and mutilating (maybe, see military use of lasers?) the targets.
IPGP is an amazing company.....the clear leader in industrial lasers.....the leader in innovation....the leader in low-cost production....they should continue to dominate their sector barring outside interruption.
Well.....that's the problem. A significant portion of IPGP's production is in Russia. How much is not entirely clear, but it's not a small part of their overall business. That is a problem for a number of different reasons. First and foremost, Russia could just shut them down at any moment. Second, western countries could put strain on the supply chain by not allowing diodes components into Russia for laser manufacturing. Third, the US government is undoubtedly off the table as a customer.
This is a MF pick only. Even though I am extremely tempted to become an owner of this incredible company, the risk is just too high. The stock could easily triple in the next 5 years, but there are some very real geo-political risks.
Price has been knocked down. Not sure why... Europe? Russia? Doesn't matter, good business on sale.
I just do what the fool tells me too and hope that they're right.
We compared IPG Photonics to Hyatt Hotels in a quest to determine which stock we like more over the succeeding 3+ years. We selected IPGP, in no small part because of its superior (and truly outstanding) financial dynamics. Both companies are leaders in their space, though IPG has significantly less competition and is more the disruptor. It has high gross and net margins -- particularly net profit margins (about 30%!). Sales are also growing stronger, up about 75% in total over the past 4 years. You put together accelerating sales and high margins and now we see why this company was a 5-bagger over the past 5 years. And yet it's still only about half the market cap of H. CAPS All-Stars love this stock and we think for good reason. We also love the story of the Russian immigrant CEO -- go Valentin!
req for tech
key player in my 3D printing basket
hooked on photonics
Best lasers on the market, by a wide margin
Yeah. Huh huh. Yeah. Lasers. Huh-huh. Huh. Okay, so maybe this isn't Monkey's most sophisticated analysis, but all you need to know is that the industrial world is using lasers more and more and IPGP is the go-to laser maker, having invested a stupid large amount in R&D over the years; sometimes it's stocks out of the typical Wall Street crowd's purview that quietly end up generating lots of bananas. IPGP, if you're reading this, can you make a laser that looks like a banana and you squeeze it to turn the laser on and off? That would be tremendous.
Because apparently we need lasers. GO LASERS!
Company that's been on my radar for a long time - it over-corrected at the beginning of the year IMO. I like under $70 as a buy-in point.
Leading fiber-optic laser maker. All metrics look good. Beam me up (some profits) Scotty!
Lasers more efficient and cooler than other lasers. New products. Europe rebound. On these last two just guessing FYI.

Photos: Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds @ Black Cat Backstage
Not everyone gets turned on by lyrics about haunted heads and Phyllis Diller being a killer, but maybe more would if they heard them performed by the great Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds. Touring in support of its latest release, Haunted Head, the band nested at the Black Cat Backstage on Saturday, attired in matching letterman sweaters. This is a band whose members are so in sync with each other you'd swear they finish each other's sentences—yet the prudent addition of another local musician with killer chops, Mark Cisneros, didn't seem to throw them off in the slightest. Resistance to Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds' sound is futile.
See photos from the show in the gallery.
