Well, it was bound to happen. I kept 2 desktops around after the Vino additions for singles - one for cheap singles, one for good singles. It regularly hits 80F, so I shouldn't be surprised. I just wish it were the cheap singles humidor. It was a gifted Sabor Cubano - thanks Perkiles (I'll...

Got my shipment in from Taboo this afternoon. Rob does a heck of a job with packaging. Got a bunch of the new LR smokes and a few staples (HSGs, SPFBC) and a box of Fuentes. Thanks Rob:tu Oh yeah, got my ticket for the upcoming contest!!

So I am out at Ruth Chris' steakhouse in Cary, NC last night and looked into the cabinet humidor they had. Mostly std Fuentes, Ashtons, Padrons and Davidoffs. The bottom of the humi was all Padron Anniv and they were all covered in mold. Now, I have to confess, I am not a biologist, but I...

Just a quick review on an Anejo 48. Haven't had one in quite some time. Damn, these are great cigars, especially with a little age on them. Very smooth, full strength, less sweet version of Opus IMO. I actually really think these are better than Opus if they have enough time to settle down...

Had to swing by the mall tonight and found my way to the B&M to look around and see what was interesting. I saw the Flor De Olivas and heard so much about them. I'm always looking for a good, cheap smoke, so I picked up a couple maduro robusto and toros. Fired up a Toro tonight and was quite...

One thing to look out for with the Vinos is that after a power bump, the temp will reset back to 54. We had a thunderstorm last night that bumped the power and when I checked the Vinos this morning one was down to 55 degrees and the humidity was down to around 45%. When I opened the door and...

I know this has already been discussed, but what methods are you all using to re-gen the beads in your humis? I have always kept my beads in bags in tupperware containers and just prayed them a few times with DI water when they got white. I knew many beads broke apart, but since they were in...

Well after setting up the 2 new Vinotemps last weekend, I finally got around to taking inventory, checking for problems and loading up the the new Vinos. Heres a link to the set-up thread: http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=160289 I was really scared about having enough room from...

Well, I have finally broken down and decided to go down the Vinotemp route. The wife was getting real sick of the huge cooler sitting on the floor of the office. She wanted it moved upstairs into the bonus room, but it is hotter up there, hence...Vinotemp time. My biggest fear is the...

Anyone ever use one of these? Thoughts? http://www.lnt.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2946529&cp=1996894&view=all&parentPage=family Expensive, but thermoelectrically cooled, finished and the wife would like it.

Anyone have one of these? http://www.cigarextras.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=80 Do the top shevles adjust to be flat? The other cabinet thread got me thinking (I know that typically gets me in trouble) and this one seems nice and inexpensive. But, if the top shelves are always...

Hi Fellow BOTLs. I struggled whether to do this, but have decided its worth posting this on here. I am attaching a link to a thread on a corvette forum that I frequent about a wonderful, sweet little 9 year old girl with terminal cancer. I had the great privaledge to meet her and her family...

Famous has Diablo's for $80 for 2 boxes (Torps are $95). That's pretty cheap for 50 cigars. Are they any good? I read many of the reviews, and my takeway is that they are overpriced with very mixed opinions. But, at $1.60/ stick it is in the connie and Famous Nic3000 price range. Thoughts?

I had asked my local B&M to call me when they put the Anejos out and I got the call the other day, Sent the wife to pick up what I thought would be a 2 per person max, when the guy calls me and says he can't sell me a whole box, but could mix/match this.:tu:tu:tu When I first had some of my...

Angus Barn has one of the best cigar smoking environments anywhere. They have a humidor downstairs with some of the best selection of high end cigars available (think 3-4 different Opus X sizes always in stock). Unfortunantly, the prices are absurd ($24-$32 per Opus), but you can bring your...

Well, this wasn't a good weekend for my cigar accessories. First, my Xikar, which has been sticking quite a bit lately finally indicated why, when half the tension spring fell out. I was heading to JRs anyway and they said "bummer, send it back as we don't have any in stock". Then, I lost...

Playing in the main coolerdor and decided to pick out a good smoke for tonight and found this: Sh*t! I had uncovered the cedar on a few a awhile back without problem. Now, all the still-cedared Anejos look like that. Bummer. Also, cause I am lucky like this, I stored my Cuban Monte A...

Well, I finally smoked the Padron 40th my wife bought me exactly one year ago on my birthday. It was number 474088 (isn't that pretty cool that they are serialized) and it was fantastic. I had one of these a few months ago, back to back with an OpusX and found the Padron to be somewhat dry and...

I am considering taking a carribean vacation this year and wanted to hear thoughts on cigar factory tours in the Domincan. Rather than the typical beach resort in Mexico, Jamaica, etc. I was considering the DR in order to take a day tour of a cigar factory. Anyone do this? Where did you...

Can't really call this a review, but more like feedback/impressions of the Partagas 160. I mentioned in the P150 thread that a local hangout (Angus Barn) has these and I have been meaning to try one. After dinner I ventured to the bar and proceeded to enjoy a cuban Monte #2 (gifted from a...
