Next time you're in the city, hit De La Concha on 6th between 56/57th. Better selection of smokes than either JR or Davidoff and the customer service there blows both places away. They also have some seating, if you are so inclined.

I gotta say, I really like the Serie O Maduros. Almost as good as a PAM 64. (Fields are right next to one another iirc). Makes for a tasty morning smoke.

Honestly, while the 1926 #35 is an excellent cigar, in the NC arena, I'm going to have to cast my vote with the Padron 1964 Superior. Buying by the box, these run about $9 a stick, and are the most consistently enjoyable cigar I've smoked. Always well constructed and tasty. Go buy some today...

Well, since my roommate smokes cigars as well, it's inside, it's outside, it's all over the apartment. Now if I could just get him to stop bumming my cigars...

I did, and while there were a few that had small indentations in the foot, there was nothing large. I also checked all of them for dust coming out when tapped. Again, nothing. Be a bit messy though. Also needs 5 days at below freezing to kill eggs from what I understand. I'll just vacuum/blow...

Ok, so now I'm really confused. I just went through everything in my humidor and not a single stick has beetle holes in it. I had a couple bundles I didn't go through stick by stick, but with no holes in the outer sticks or the plastic wrapping, I'd think they are good. Everything from that...

Opened my humi this morning to grab a stick or two to take to work with me and saw something small and brown crawling about. Grabbed the stick it was on for a closer look, and just confirmed by checking out a pic at wikipedia. It was an adult beetle. Needless to say, I squashed that little...

:tpd: One of the best sticks I've had, regardless of price. The fact that they are so cheap just makes these a steal in my eyes. The Serie O Maduro are pretty damn good too.

American red cedar is highly aromatic and not suitable for cigar storage. Your sticks will all taste strongly of it. I'd recommend against it very strongly. I don't know why it's even listed as an option on that page.

So, I picked up a couple Robustos at De La Concha the other day and decided to give one a try last night. I'd been wanting to try this cigar for quite a while. I like the regular Diamond Crown and the Maximus, lots of flavor in both sticks, if a bit overpriced. This stick cost me 13.50 at the...

Boxes in the cooler, singles in the humi, mostly. Everything is completely jumbled. That way I never know what I'm going to find if I go digging.

Well, they cite one person with an $1100.00 bill. Think about it for a minute, if you buy $200 a month of cigars over the internet, with the CT tobacco tax of 20%, you are talking about $40 a month, or about $500 a year. I don't know about you, but if I actually added up how much I've spent on...

I just picked up a bottle of Laguvilin 16 after trying it in at a cigar bar in NYC. Tasty, tasty stuff. Might even be pushing out the Macallan as my new favorite.

I just picked up a bottle of the Macallan cask strength a couple of weeks ago. It is tasty stuff indeed. I'm also a fan of the Macallan 18. I don't think the 25 is worth the money though. If I want to spend a bit less $$, I generally go for an Oban 14.
