Don't buy that thing at all! The variance on it is +/-5. That does NOT mean that it'll come within +/- 5 and then once you calibrate it it'll be dead on. It means that each and every reading is only accurate to within 5%. This makes it basically worthless for cigars, since its reading of...

Interesting, thanks for the info! Are they both about the same as far as nicotine content goes? He gets buzzed and uncomfortable pretty easily, so I don't want to recommend that he try one if it'll kick him in the chops.

My dad is a fan of the Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut. On cigar.com and Cigars International, they sell the Rocky Patel Connecticut, which has a different band from the Vintage 1999 Connecticut, and they're quite a bit cheaper. Is it the same cigar with a different band? If not, what's...

Here. They're technically envelopes, I guess, but a five-pack should be able to fit. This might be the wrong thing (I've never shipped cigars), but it's $4.60 so my guess is that this is what it is.

The first Rocky, by far, but the more recent Rocky Balboa was quite good, too. Er, I mean, OWR maduro or 1990. I have a couple Decades that I've yet to smoke, though, so that might change.

I think it's funny that people are surprised that someone name "shady cigar" is selling shady cigars. Of course, this in no way excuses him or makes it so people deserve to be ripped off - they don't! - but it is nevertheless pretty amusing.

I'm in Irvine

Holy cow

Joshua Tree! Dirtbag Spring Break is going to be amazing. Thanks for all the input, everyone! For some reason, the idea of using tupperware never occurred to me. That's nice and cheap, so I'll go with that idea. Thanks again!

For Spring Break, I'll be spending my time drinking and climbing rocks (although not in that order!) in the desert with a conspicuous lack of showering. I've decided that I need to bring a whole bunch of cigars for everyone that'll be on the trip, and the 15-count Cigar Caddy that's currently...

That's the nicotine. You'll get used to it or start enjoying it or just stop noticing it all together.

And if you'd said "some cigarette smokers" then you'd have a valid point. But you didn't. Cigarette smokers and cigar smokers alike are being targetted by certain aspects government and legislators therein, and instead of trying to prevent injustices for happening, you're blaming them on the...

Holy cow. You're at the cutting edge of science and technology, working at improving life for gorilla-kind planetwide. Awesome job, and a great read.

Holy cow, what a guy!

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it's pretty obvious that you've never smoked a good cigarette and aren't speaking from real experience. Handrolls can be absolutely amazing, and cigarettes like Nat Shermans are, in fact, delicious. I smoke cigarettes because I LIKE THEM. I smoke cigars...
