Came home to a freebie from Torano today. Don't know why. Or how they got my addy. But I like these so I won't complain. Anybody else get one?

Just nubbed my favorite double corona and got to thinking about how many times I say that my favorite part of a cigar is the last third. Many start off mild and build in complexity and strength through the second third. But I find myself anxious to get to the last third where it seems that...

And with some interesting stories. First, the tour guide on the bus from the airport to the resort gave us cigar buying tips. "Only buy from the resort because others are made from banana leaves." Well, here's what they were selling at the resort. . . Notice the Vanilla flavored Cohibas...

Not really a review, rather uncontained excitement. Considering the weather here, I don't often get the opportunity to smoke three cigars during the course of the day. And since it was my first cigarette free day in my latest effort to quit I had to keep the nicotine levels up, lol. Started...

Give blood! Laugh all you want, I had lunch with a colleague today who is paying for a trip to DisneyWorld with his earnings. All I could think was, that's a free cab a month :r

Do you dread having to refill your butane lighter? Don't have the patience to futz with the nozzle while waiting for the fill to be completed? Never sure just how much fuel the lighter actually took? Try this! Put your lighter in the freezer for half an hour or so. Use a room temperature...

You heard it here first folks! A "quality" cigar shop in town is offering a free Pinar at their Christmas Party. And that's not all! Buy 3, get another 1 free :r Don't worry, I put it on my calendar and will miss it :mad:

Still have the green light to smoke in my 10'X20' office in the basement - IF the odor can be contained. Have tried numerous solutions without success. Then I got a quote on the Air King M-11 air cleaning system with the 18 lb. charcoal module. This thing moves 1100 cfm which should clean a...

Coupla months back, I worked with a guy who was smokin gas station 'gars. One day I gave him a nice little 5'er of various "premiums", and gave him some advice about buying bundles that beat the heck out of what he was smoking. Saw him yesterday at a golf outing and asked him about the smokes...

It's the dog days of summer but I'm thinking ahead to the cold weather. I have a room in the basement (~20x12) that's all mine. I just have to figure out how to ventilate it for smoking. The room has a false ceiling and small half window. Last year I sealed off the vents and cold air return...

The week I've been waiting on for what seems like an eternity. Packing the whole family up (and an otterbox of cigars) Saturday for a trip to Riviera Maya. There's an LCdH in Playa del Carmen, I see. Any other suggestions for an active bunch?

Interesting article from AP today. They're counterfeiting NCs too. Did you know the US cigar industry is $3.2B. There were 5.1 billion "large" cigars sold in 2005, about 321 million of which were "premium" hand rolled selling for $5-$30 each.

Proudly display my desktop on top of the antique buffet in our dining room, right next to my wife's prized silver. . . And the coolerdor is tucked quietly away in my closet. . .

I'm baffled. Have had 3 cigars split open during smoking in the past week on 3 separate occassions. Three different brands, same approx size (toro). Kept in the same humi at a rock solid 65% and about 67*. Taken out and put in a 3 finger leather pocket case about an hour before smoking...

A few weeks ago, a B&M told me they were getting some Anejos. I asked him to give me a call when they came in and set aside 6 for me. Then I needed to leave town to help my son out. While I'm gone, the B&M left me a message they got a box of 55s. Several days later when I returned, they...

A local B&M just told me he expects a shipment of Anejo in the next couple of weeks. I immediately asked him to hold six for me. He doesnt know what he'll get. Does anyone know what MSRP is and what are your opinions about the most I should pay for various sizes?

It began innocently enough. A couple of NSTs with BOTLs that can't count, then I heard a seductive whispering in my ear. Now I've won my third auction in two weeks with the Devil. The beads are on order and the coolerdor is awaiting. Upgrading the 20 count desktop to a 200 (goin' Savoy)...

Assuming that I place it away from direct sunlight, is there a reason why I should avoid a desktop humi with glass? It just occurs to me that all my other cigar storage is dark.

I understand this to be a newer line with a Brazilian wrapper, Honduran binder and Nic & DR filler. They look so good and at the insistence of my B&M, I picked up a Toro yesterday and smoked it tonight. Construction is beautiful, a bit veiny but otherwise dark & oily. Unlit aroma was...

I've searched the archives like a good noob but can't find what I'm looking for. Many of the posts seem to encourage "visualizing" what you want and then building it. Well, I would never get away with that :confused: I need to review plans, get ideas and have something to build from (yeah...
