Cigars are funny things.... I've had cigars that started off only okay.... so it got buried to be pulled out a year later, at which time it was...... a complete turn off, man am I glad it is only a fiver, followed by being buried and pulled out 4 years later, HOLY CHIT :cb is that the same...

I hit the LCDH right in Cancun we were just there under a month ago for a week. best darned Mojito I ever had. Glad you had fun. I'm already planning my next visit.

It happens automagically if you stick around long enough and hit the slope as hard and as fast as many of us have. I've said it in other threads as well that after many years of enjoying cigars the aging happens due to the sheer amount of acquisition. I have cigars in my stash that haven't...

My B&M isn't bad lately now that I've gone there more often. They invite me to events happening locally and now that I've tried a pipe he asked me to sample 5 different pipe tobaccos to let him know if they were any good. I was shocked by this. I guess in short once he got to know me he...

When going for beads bear in mind as the intended layout of your cooler. Think GROWTH :tu. I started out wanting to do boxes but then added trays for individuals and what not. The minor coolerdor became a major project. But to my point, I like to get a number of smaller containers such as...

Is yours thermostatically controlled? I had a Danby that I finally noticed long ago was generating a lot of condensation on the rear cooling plate. Putting it on a temperature controller solved the problem. There is hardly ever any condensation on it now. For my Cabinet in which I have a...

I've heard of em'... bought from em. I bought my first humidor from them and also got a bundle of their cameroon wrapper dominican cigars. The cigars are about 3 years old now but they've always been uniquely good. Could be something about me not knowing what I was doing and letting them...

Just use the boxes is my recommendation as well. Stack em up and go from there. Just like a store would do. I wanted shelves in my cabinet but you'd be surprised how much space is wasted on Spanish cedar shelving. If looks are of utmost importance of course go for it. But if you just want...

My recommendation is almost always to try to find a fiver or at least a three pack. Then you can decide for yourself. I liked them but found them more on the mild/medium than the medium side. I got a fiver and I can't recall from where. shouldn't be too hard to find. I find that cigars...

Not sure about Africa but there are several Brazilian Puros to choose from. I've had the Felix Menendez Dona Flor line which are All Brazilian tobacco and not bad. They were fairly loosely filled but for taste I really enjoyed the experience and grew a special place in my rotation for...

Oh yeah there is always doubling and tripling up as needed. At $100 a pop that isn't bad at all. Good luck with it and post pics as you go. Some notes of things I've learned... - Plan for condensation. So pay attention to the orientation and location of your cooling unit. - Rigid foam...

I think you nailed your review. This was one of those first Mega samplers I got on cBid and it was one of my best deals ever. Consistent, creamy, nutty... and even down to the coffee. I think these go great with coffee as well as you put it. I think I now know what I'm having tonight as I...

I like what has been said in this thread. I can certainly see what you mean in your original post. I go through phases where I say the same thing. Well I say I'm going to narrow down my list. But in the end I just can't resist picking up singles to just have variety. Many a nights I'm in...

That's 9 cubic feet. Pretty darned big. It would be a stretch I think but specs would be needed on the cooling unit to see if it will handle it. If you hit up any of the major peltier sites (Melcor.com) they typically have calculators that will allow you calculate the cooling required in...
