Only had the Acid 1 out of those three, and honestly, I wasn't a fan. I mean, it wasn't bad by any means, but that doesn't make it good. The Nasty and the Wafe are, at the moment, my favorites. EDIT: I guess in appreciating things for what they are, rather than what I'd like them to be, my...

Indeed, I honestly don't remember the Ming, just that I liked it... it was the gold labels that made me gag. Then again, at the time I was... well... it was a long night. Too bad they called it Ming Dynasty, they should have simply gone with Dynasty (which is what some stores are selling it at...

Honestly... I'm not totally convinced on the ozone thing... I found the best thing is to simply run this and then wipe down the floor the next day. Wiping gets any flakes of ash that might have fallen, and it seems that the smoke likes to settle on the floor as there's black... soot(?) whenever...

So, I ordered some ACID cigars last week, and they came today... I like a couple of them, sue me - most are crap though. :( Anyway, it all started in the Spring, my friend got me a sampler tin, and some of them nearly made me throw up (Toast) while others were scrumptious (Extra Ordinary...

5 Vegas Gold Robusto We were going to a convention and somehow I got roped into putting together some cigar event (failed horribly) and having never smoked a cigar (why me, what the hell) I decided to grab one before the drive up to the bay. It was a 5 Vegas Gold and I fell in love... from...

Agreed! Haha, it's too bad a place can't have bother nice ambiance and decent prices... *sigh*

I ended up buying Henri Winterman's Cafe Creme Oriental Aroma cigarillos (what a freaking name) the other week. I opened them up upon receiving to an extremely strong aroma of macaroon cookies. After cleaning up I was having thoughts that were a little less than positive... you see, the Acid...

Santa Damiana - Got it from CI in a brown bag sampler and put it aside a few months ago cause it looked a little questionable - There were some nice sticks in there, Power, Gurkha, and the like - but this was one of the 2-3 that looked less than appealing. Wouldn't you know it would turn out to...

i also saw a guy literally throwing cigars back into their boxes... like, from 3-4 feet away. Of course the owner didn't bother him, just me cause I was taking longer than a couple minutes! :(

I'm not too surprised - cigar shops around here seem to be booming, if you will - there are 2-3 huge lounges within half a mile of each other. While that's awesome, it means prices are ridiculous and the shop owners are - from what I've seen, profiteering douche bags... I was in their walk in...

I was looking at the horribly over priced cigar shops around Pasadena (100%+ over MSRP is the standard) and came across some interesting stuff - only one picture though. First, the picture, is the plume or mold... or perhaps something else? This shop had a lot of super high end stuff and not...

Ah, you're right! :D Any opinions?

I got a random sampler, and I have no idea what this cigar is! Any help would be awesome, here's a pic:

Hey guys, so - I live in LA (Pasadena), making smoking outside totally fine year round - that said, I also have a projector, and a nice movie and a stogie is always great, right? I'm also probably moving back to the Bay Area (berkeley I think) in the winter, where smoking at night, well, it's...

I agree with both of you, haha. I have a 20 count box, a 100 count chest, and an Anithime or whatever cabinet. 20 count for damaged sticks - for when I won't mind a stick potentially exploding. A 100 count to hold 1-2 of everything I have so there's always something I want on hand, and then the...
