Smoked my first partagas chico today (ISOM) it was the first cigar i have smoked in over 2 months and for its size (i dont nomrally like cigars of this format) it was very enjoyable, nice flavours, quite complex but not harsh not did it smoke too hot. Well as i was smoking i noticed the ash was...

As i hant opened my humi recently due to smoking more pipes i decided tonight to open up the cooler and check the humidity etc, well as always steady at 73 (which by reckoning is actually 70, i have 70% beads in there anyway) well all seemed well until i opened my box of '90 ERDM demi tasse, a...

i know its not the 5th of november, but that hasnt stopped a large part of the city setting of fireworks. so after my dinner i took a glass of wine (2001 Haut Jamin Bordeaux) my Dr Grabow Duke and a flake of penzance outside to get pleasure from other peoples expenditure (i.e watch other...

Being young, i have time on my side (at least i hope i do) and i was thinking about invest some of my money in cigars for long term ageing. The basic idea is to buy a cooler, fill it with full boxes of good cigars for ageing (prob ISOM's but maybe some NC's too) while i can still afford them...

Realised this afternoon while doing a spot check on my sticks that my coolerdor is FULL! I have used tupperware boxes (the type with crappy lids) without the lids as internal dividers and also so i can stack one on top of the other (i dont have an american style cooler, ie low and wide...

Well after my meal this evening i pulled a cohiba (DR of course) not sure of size, maybe 5" x 35 or something like that, lit that baby up and, well what can i say? it tasted like ASS!!

Well today (bank holiday so day off work) i finally got around to pasting my collection of cigar bands, some of you may remember my first post about my little art project. well i recieved loads of bands from helpful brothers, i bought the board for pasting and sat down with the radio on and...

Ok my first competition so apologies if its a bit crap. the idea is to post a pic of your favourite lighter, not your favourite for lighting cigars but your favourite to look at/use etc. mine is my c.1950's Ronson Vanguard lighter, it also happens to be my go to lighter for (indoor) cigar...

I hope i got the right name :r Anyway this cigar was gifted to me by Marianne (Cigargal). I fancied a smoke this evening and this seemed the perfect size, she lit easily (by lighting the nipple :D ) and the draw was absolutely perfect, loose but with a little bit of resistance. For a small...

Some more pics guys for your enjoyment, if anybody wants a full scale version for desktops etc like last time then please PM and ill email you it.

Recieved some cigars in a humi pouch today and i was wondering if i can reuse it as part of or as the humidification device in a travel humi? can it be recharged cos it will obviously dry out over time. any thoughts/suggestions on this matter?

I purchased beads for my tupperdor a few weeks ago from viper and they are doing a fantastic job but i seem to be recharging them all the time. Ive got about 1/4 LB 70% beads in a 14L tupperware cake box and i seem to be re-filling them about once a week, i get them quite wet so they nearly all...

sorry i couldnt resist!! Please dont ban me :D

I think the choice of lighter says alot about a cigar smoker. My favourite is a c.1950's Ronson Vanguard, i love its retro appeal, its very reliable and lasts ages between refils, the only downsides are that you cannot adjust the flame and it doesnt work well in windy conditions, however the...

Its time for one of my longwinded reviews!!! Well for tonights smoke i wanted to try something new and having just had a great meal (Cod in a provencal pepper sauce with Cornish New potatoes (any brits will know why that is good!) and some steamed runner beans, mmmm damn tasty that meal was!)...

Cigar porn that is!! Just got a new camera and I was just messing around and took these pics, hope you enjoy!

Just had my first ever Padron Cigar, it was a maduro 2000 so its 5/50. Before I lit it up it felt nice and firm, no apparent soft spots and it had a nice aroma to it. First few puffs were sheer heaven, nice and sweet and smooth and boy did it kick out a lot of smoke, they most I have ever had...

Some of you may remember my call for cigar bands for an art project that im working on: Have a look here Well i have collected a few bands now but i still need loads more so please if anybody out there has cigar bands that they could send me they will be put to very good use. i enclose a pic...

Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Machito I have just come back inside from smoking a JdN. this cigar packs quite a bit of punch and it was a bit too strong for my liking however it was enjoyable, nice flavours, very leathery i thought, and also quite spicey, lasted a surprisingly long time, about...
