Some other people have posted on this. However, if you think about it, a lot of cigar companies keep their band standard throughout much of their lines. Padron 1000 series, regular production fuentes, most cuban brands. It may just be we aren't as familiar with taboo, yet.

I agree with most of the pepin comments, but Tat Blacks? No way. Tat Blacks are very NC tasting to me.

I'll be in Beantown next weekend, so I'll have to stop by on Friday or Saturday. Maybe even Thursday.

What don't you like about DFH? They make an awful lot of different brews for anyone to be able to say that.

Have you tested your hygrometer? Is it analog? It's probably off.

Kind of personal asking to see your stub.

Definitely go this route to get some nice premiums, then buy the rest of your selection wherever. I will say this, the TS Maduros are supposed to be very good for the price, but if you want to spend more $$$, buy a box of Diamond Crown Maximus Robustos at MSRP or a bit less from tampa...

I read that miller lite used to contain, or still does PG. That said, I'd toss it.

Like many things in life, different people are affected differently. You'll have to see how your body reacts, but as has been said many times, moderation is the key. I also tend to agree that being active helps to limit the affects in my experience.

Definitely NOT plume. It may actually be the beginnngs of mold, but I vote for dust.

Wow. Never had an opus burn quite this badly. Luckily the taste makes up for it. I think I may like this one best of all opus. Hopefully the burn is just this one as it was stored well at 63-65% for eight months or so.

You poor thing! :D I am sorry that one of your TWO aristocrats doesn't have the full extensions. I keed!

This was a single cigar soir por moi. Went with an opus x petite corona (aka #5). This is the first opus #5 I've had and so far so good. Tons of smoke, even more than usual for an opus. Draw is great though maybe just a tad loose if I want to be picky. At the halfway point the only negative is I...
