I bought a 75, but I had a good excuse. I'm only planning for it to be temporary, until I get my fridgidor set up, so next summer the cooler will be returned to actual cooler duties, and it was the perfect size for that. If I was planning for it to be a permanent coolidor, I would have gotten...

Are you saying this is the CS Family Tree?

I just wanted to add my own welcome back, and thank you for your service.

Three months ago, had my first LGC Serie R #4. That was the one that reminded me how much I like cigars and started me on the slope.

Augusto Reyes 'nativo' corona-ish (5.5x42). Not bad. Good taste, lots of smoke, a little spiciness.

For all those things, I can see how someone could compare the two items and think to themselves, "Yeah, this really is 100 times 'better' than that'. They aren't to me, but I can at least understand it. I just can't see it with something like an ashtray, though. If other people do, more power...

Well, yeah. Obviously, or they wouldn't bother having them. I'm sure 300 somebodies will eventually buy them all. Collectors, Fuente/Opus ho's, whatnot. I have the collecting/hoarding gene, so I understand the sickness. I'm just saying, even if I won the Powerball, I wouldn't spend any of...

Got my ass handed to me by an Alec Bradley Churchill. Wow. Never happened to me before. There are so many variables and possible culprits, but I'm assuming that's what did it. I hadn't eaten anything today. I was smoking on the porch, and it's getting pretty chilly out, here, so I smoked it...

This time, from our friends over at Fuente's TampaSweethearts web site. Man, I LOVE online browsing. You never know what you'll see. Like this: http://tampasweetheart.com/?page=shop/flypage&product_id=389&category_id=837eb30e87dc5642048b234d52f459e9& Yes, my BOTL's, check it out. It's a...

Customer service issues aside, it seems like the consensus around here is that Thompson's humidors are probably the only thing you should buy from them. As long as you don't really care how long it takes them to get it to you. The quality on them is good, and the price/value is good. I have...

Well, then, I guess I'll hate you slightly less, now.

I've only ordered four times, so far. Three from Thompson's, once from CI. The first two TCC orders were perfect. Got exactly what I wanted, good price, delivered very quickly. The third order was a total nighmare. Took forever. I eventually got everything I ordered, though. The CI order...

While browsing, I found this little item: http://www.famous-smoke.com/cigars/search/humstats.cfm/inum/17725 It's a Davidoff 90-ct humidor. FOR THREE GRAND. I'm not making that up. $2921.99. Is it full of Davidoff cigars? No. Not even free shipping. Not too surprisingly, it's not sold...

OK, that I would toss. Yikes!

My B&M controls hoarding by only having 2 boxes of them at a time, and pricing them at $22-28/cigar. Way, way out of my league and budget.
