Regarding lighter. Ronson jetlight is good, but you can also get a old zippo on Ebay for 3-4 bucks and put in a $10 Blazer z-plus jet insert. Nothin like the "snap-cring" sound of a zippo opening up.

Nice review -- thanks. I'll have to see if I can get a few of these.

Realized I put 30 minutes, for time -- should be 45-50 minutes.

My first review – so I may be a little off in my descriptions. Hopefully, this is a decent beginner’s review. (apologies to Garlicbreath for stealing his review format!) Date: 10/1/08 Reviewer: langod Cigar: Nub Cameroon 460 Size: 4 x 60 Wrapper: Cameroon Filler: Nicaragua Binder...

I'll admit it -- I think the burger and fires section would be yummy. The Mcnugget section? Not so much.

I prefer Tanqueray 10 for Martinis. 2nd choice is Bombay (white) or Beefeater. Need to try Plymouth. I'm not a fan of Sapphire, it's just too flowery for me. I like Hendricks in a nice G&T with cucumber. Gordon's is my go-to for everyday G&Ts.

I'm a newbie so I can't tell you much about Boston B&Ms or other ones out of my normal travels, but if you do end up heading north on RT 93 to Quebec, you'll be going right past two good shops in NH. -- In Salem, NH (exit 1) a mile or two south on Rt 28 -- Two Guys Smoke Shop. -- In...

A friend of mine came a cross an antique Jewitt copper-lined humidor that was apparently his grandfathers. He wants to know whether it would be worth trying to use for cigars, or should he keep it for display, but get a cedar one for real cigar storage. The outside can be cleaned up and...

Hmmm.... that name used to mean something completely different. I wonder if they have an Acapulco Gold and Maui Wowie too? :r

I just got one last week. It's great -- although a bit tight, had trouble pulling the insert back out again for adjustment. Put a dab of wd40 on the sides and it's fine now. Nothing like that well known "click-ching" sound of flipping open a Zippo -- it just adds to the whole "ritual" of...

I love red wines and I drink good wines fairly often. I am a beginner when it comes to cigars -- I only "discovered" them about two months ago. But even I have already found that red wine and cigars go together quite well. One of the comments to his article was, "...I suppose a prerequisite...

That is a funny review! But there are good reviews of it too. Different strokes, etc.. I hate Myers, but lots of people like it -- same thing. Shrug, YMMV.

Dirty Vesper I take James Bond's "Vesper" and make her dirty... ;) 3 oz excellent Gin (I like Tanqueray 10) 1 oz excellent Vodka (Belvedere) .5 oz Lillet Blanc 1-2 tsp olive juice (to taste) Put all in a shaker with ice and shake for 1 minute. Garnish with 3 olives. (Rule of olives - they...

If you like Black Seal, another good one to try is Screech Rum from Newfoundland. (Yes, Newfoundland.) It's a bit rougher than Black Seal, but not in a bad way. And it goes very well with cigars.
