    California here I come!

    By the end of May, I'll be on my way to the west coast. Moving to the San Francisco/Alameda area. I'm planning on heading out early, then flying back to CT and drive the family out. Going to take about three weeks with them to visit some family on the way out. Should make for a nice, long...

    Lave Butane

    I just bought a couple cans of this stuff, and refilled a couple of my torch lighters. HOLY HELL!! Went from a 1 inch flame to almost a foot long on both lighters. I've turned down the flame adjustment on both lighters, but I'm still getting a ridiculously long flame. Any suggestions? At this...

    New lighter

    Recently I've started smoking some larger RG cigars. Still haven't found a cutter that can handle some of them, but this is what I'm using to light them up. Seems to do the trick in no time. Also good for instant bonfires. Real pain to carry to herfs though.

    Permanent matches

    Don't know if anyone has seen these before, but I stopped by a locak B&M for some pipe tobacco, and saw these sitting on the counter. Pretty neat little thing. It's about the size of a matchbox, but is filled with lighter fluid. Strike it on the case just like a real match. Of course I had...

    Stinky Ashtray/Lighter

    Smoked a few sticks over the weekend out on the deck, using my Stinky Ashtray. I had the remnants of 5 sticks in there. This morning I go out to enjoy my coffee and a smoke. I look over at Stinky, and with the sun hitting the curved inside, it's focusing the light onto one of the cigars, and...

    Cigar Oasis?

    I'm looking at turning an old cabinet into a humidor, and trying to decide the best way to hydrate the thing. Are beads a reasonable route for this? Or should I look at something like the Oasis? I've only ever used beads and PG solution/foam. Any pros/cons for either for something this large...

    Java by Drew Estate: My first review

    Not being a big fan of flavored smokes, I didn't expect much from this, but went in with an open mind. This was a robusto, box pressed with a subtle mocha smell. It felt nice and heavy, tightly packed. I couldn't get my little havana cutter over the end, so had to use my handy Benchmade knife...

    Good cigar shops?

    Hello fellow BOTL/SOTL's, I'll be traveling from New England down to GA in January, was wondering if anyone could recommend a good shop or two along the way? Mostly taking I-95 straight down, I'll be stopping in the Norfolk area for a night as well. Appreciate any suggestions. :z

    JR Cuban Alternatives?

    I've purchased some smokes from JR's in the past. Got a catalog in the mail today, didn't realize they had Cuban alternatives. Anyone tried these? How do they compare? I've been happy with their stuff before, just wondering what everyone's experience here has been. :cool:
