:tpd::tpd: I have to say that the RP double maduro is the best of the fusion series. It's not much stronger than the "blue label" / fusion and much creamier and smoother. It's my favorite smoke right now... :ss:ss:ss

I don't know if any of you have read this before, but it is a very interesting read: Smoke, Lies, and the Nanny State :tu Wow, excellent article. :tpd:

I dabble in construction and have built a few homes by subbing out and being the general. I was going to stay out of this but I just have to give my :2. I would not put in drywall. It's simply overkill. If you put in insulation and then a vapor barrier (and it's installed correctly) you have...

:r I almost died from choking on my beer when it spewed out of my nose when I read this!!!!!!!!!!!!:tpd: 1) I have worked as a cop in a major metropolitan city (5th largest in the country) for 22 years. 2) I am currently assigned a motorcycle and ride it to work every day. 3) I've had...

Probably the smoothest smoke I can think of has to be an Avo Uvezian regular or maduro. Try one of them and you will judge others by their taste!! :dr

Have you tried the Nubs? http://www.nubcigar.com/ They're specifically designed to start right off at the "sweet spot" for those who have less time like you... :chk

I think the best way to enjoy these are on a cold night on the back patio with a bottle of Jack. First you pour out a shot. Then you pour it on top of the pack while it sits in the ash tray. You light the whiskey soaked pack, break out your snipped RP double maduro, light it off the ash tray...

:tpd: "...Just like I am with antique furniture and midgets. You know that, I can't so much as drink a damn glass of water around a midget or a piece of antique furniture."

Hey, I like the way you think BH!!! That just might work... :chk A garage sale you say? "Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket. I got it at a garage sale!!":D

:tpd: Here is Az you can't smoke in public places. They just revised the law to include anywhere within 20 feet of an entrance to a public facility also:mad: This means that you have to move over 20 feet from the entrance/exit at work, at a restaurant and even a bar... :BS

I had a similar experience with CI. I ordered the Gurkha legendary Mega sampler. http://www.cigarsinternational.com/prodDisp.asp?item=SP-GHASST11&cat=106 It was supposed to come with Legend Robustos but instead it had legend box pressed toros. I did not notice this as it was late in the...

:tpd::tpd: I have to agree. If price is the prime motivation, just get the beads. They will self regulate the humidity anyway regardless of the Hygrometer. BTW: If you go over 70% RH you will normally get mold growth and you definately don't want to have to deal with that. (I dealt with...

I personally like to watch the burn to see how well the cigar was constructed. I also like the burn better with the ash on. YMMV :2 I just experienced the the "ash-lap" syndrome tonight while studying for a promotional exam... I was admiring the burn and the perfect ash, then went back to...

I have to add my vote for the Garcia Y Vega Coronas. I first started with these when I was Gasp, 16. I liked them for what they were, available!! They werent too bad the last time I had one given to me on a fishing trip. In my best Bill Murray voice, "it's a little harsh..."

Wow, I got to herf one of the 1990 Patel 2nd's in a Torpedo (the ones pictured in my original post) and wow was it good. It started a little raspy but got better and better. It was totally awsome by the 1/4 way point!! Very rich and aromatic. Lots of thick smoke and very good draw. Good...
