    "Self" Infused Cigars - anybody tried this??

    I'll start this off saying "I know this is wrong on so many different levels", but what the hey. I did a cursory search, but I was wondering how many have tried to infuse a cigar with liquor. I think some people have had some positive things to say about Sauza and the Makers Mark cigars. As I...

    Habanos Puros Fuertes Siglos

    Well here is the Porn for now. I'll have to get a review sometime this weekend. It was between these and Padron 3000 Maduro. I love those, but I thought I would take a flier on something new I haven't heard much about. Smell great, construction is outstanding. The packaging is very nice...

    Tatuaje P-2 (robusto)

    Tatuaje P-2 (robusto) I probably should have tacked this on one of the other P-series reviews, but they were on other vitolas. So what the hey, here's another review and a new thread. I'll use Punch's format he used for his P1 review. Date Tested: 1/20/07 Date Purchased: Mid November...

    Pepin (yellow Label) CI Legends - Anyone?????

    Looks like Cigars International has added Pepin to their "Legends" line-up of cigars. I haven't seen anything on it. Any Pepin fanatics know anything about these? Everything he has put out has been so well received, and I am wondering if this is where he finally overextends. See the Legend...

    Nicotine Buzz - How did that happen

    I got sat on my ass yesterday by a smoke that I have had before that hadn't given me any trouble (it is a PC to boot). I think I am a nicotine ligtweight, but have recently weathered some heavy stuff with no problem (ie camacho coyolar). I had just eaten, no alcohol consumed, was feeling...

    Gurkha Centurion Double-X Perfecto ??

    Go it in a sampler from CBID. I was looking for inputs, and post a review later. One problem is I notice CBID mixes and matches their samplers all the time. This sampler of 12 I received has 4 different sticks than were supposed to be in it. They tend to err slightly to their...

    New Famous 3000s - slight problem

    Talked to Famous a little while ago and was told they have the cigars in and are completing final inventory before they start filling backorders. There is a little SNAFU though, The torpedos (5.5 x 54) were not rolled as torpedos. My backorder is for Grande Robustos so I assume it will be...

    Humidity Problems - In and Out of the Humidor

    I cut a Black Pearl Cobre Toro last night and pre-light draw was like a straw. The cigar felt OK, and the humidor is pretty consistent 65-67% humidity. I liked the cigar but way too easy draw until about 1/5th into it. I was thinking that the humidity on my patio here in Louisiana helped to...

    Just looked at the latest Cigar Aficionado and saw 91 rating for the Saint Luis Rey Reserve Especial Belicoso. Interested in the Cigar for awhile and the rating wants to make me pull the trigger on a box. Any inputs? CA has rated Saint Luis Rey high in the past. Joe (AKA Billy)
