    Hygrometer at Wal-Mart

    If you are needing a humi the size of the Vino than you most likely have a decent amount of sticks you are storing. I wouldn't trust any amount/collection of cigars to a Wal-mart hygrometer that wasn't designed for use in a humidor. I use the Western Caliber III in my 150ct display, Vinotemp...

    Smoked my first Padilla today ... not impressed

    I really enjoyed the first batch of the Padilla Achilles (pepin blend). I just purchased some of the new release Achilles and I hope they are atleast decent now but I'm skeptical based on the price point. I have some of the Pepin blend '32s and Miami's but have yet to smoke either of them...

    My Cabinet Humi Project

    That turned out amazing! I'm going to have to give that a shot one of these days. I love how you setup the LED lighting in it. Really clean looking.

    Turning 30 in a couple weeks! What to smoke?

    Jason, I'm going to vote for the Padron 1964 Maduro. T&C cigars @ Glade & 121 in Euless and Arlington Cigar off of 157 both carry the full line. Both also have the Opus X in stock as of Monday. If you're up for a drive, Up in Smoke on McArthur in Irving has every Tatuaje except for the black...

    Question for an Essay

    I think I remember reading somewhere that it was illegal to ship tobacco products in between Canadian provinces. I could be misstaken though, it happens.

    Short cigar questions...

    If you want to go with a good cigar that won't break the bank I would go for the Rocky Patel Juniors. It's a small version of the Vintage line at 4x38. They come 40 to a box with a everyday price tag of $49.99. I think I picked mine up from one of their weekly specials for $39.99. Pretty...

    What NC is most like an ISOM stick?

    A while back I had a Diplomaticos #4 (Cuban Petit Corona) and then had a Cusano C10 Crown Corona a few days later. I thought that the Cusano C10 was very similar to the Diplomaticos. I could tell a difference if I smoked them both unbanded in a blind test but the Cusano was a very enjoyable cigar.

    Romeo Y Julieta Reserve Maduro

    I would second this advice. I keep plenty of the R&Y RM #4 (5x44) around as my stick of choice while grilling. They go great with a pint of Guiness!

    Devil site!

    If you're winning at that rate you are probably over paying. I would make a list in Excel of what you would like to buy and add these things to your watch list on CBID. Track the selling price of each item over the course of a few weeks or months. Then I would never bid over the lowest amount...

    Your humidor vs B&M's...

    I'd vote mine. Between my display, cooler and vino I have 90% of what I'd want to smoke in a given day. As far as the B&M goes, I stop in regularly just b/c it's fun to pick out a stick in a full selection. I will never smoke another cigar straight out of a B&M huni just b/c 99% of the time...

    Buffalo Wings

    Buffalo Wild Wings is currently my favorite stop. The Carribean Jerk and Mango Habanero sauces they have are awesome. They also sell bottles of their sauce, 3 for $12 and I've found they work great with some wild game if you're a hunter. Monday night before the Cowboy's game I grilled up...
