My previous experience with Punch has been limited to their 'regular' line. I enjoy there smokes which tend to offer good construction and a unique taste. Over the holidays I was gifted a box of their Rare Corojos which I have heard generally good things about. With that said I decided to give...

I have tried several different smokes from Graycliff and I have found them to be, well, intresting. Can't say I hated any of them (although I did have some that were inconsistent that made for a bad experience), but I liked some more than others and the flavors they produced were unique, at...

Do not believe I saw this here but CAO has been bought by Henri Wintermans Cigars, USA Inc., a sister company of ST Cigar Group Holdings (STCG). http://www.top25cigar.com/a_apps/ANM/anmviewer.asp?a=508&z=3 Any thoughts? Good, bad or indifferent? I guess time will tell.

It looks like Rocky is at it again. Famous Smokes has these as part of an "exclusive" arrangment. Anyone try these yet? http://www.famous-smoke.com/cigars/search/stats.cfm/inum/24469 RP has been really busy of late. It appears like they appear and "new" blend every month! If they are different...

Being a CAO fan, I have several Cameroon robustos in the humis that have been cooking for a few months that have just been itching my brain. Finding some free time on Saturday, I figured I would one a try. Setting: In the garage, door open. Temps in the mid to upper 30s. Light up was at...

I was in the mood to try a new cigar yesterday. So after rummaging through my singles coolerdor I came upon the Cantero and decided, what the heck? This has been resting in the cooler for about 3 weeks (guess) at 70% RH. Setting: Outdoors, under a covered deck. Temps in the lower 40s. Nice...

I was just surfing the net and ended up at the Graycliff website. While there I started looking through their cigar lines and noticed a peculiar looking band on one of them. When I clicked on those cigars It said it was the Championship Series-Mike Ditka and that the wrapper commemorates the...

On December 30th, we had our Second Annual New Year's Eve EVE Party. Last year (I mean 05), we had a great time of drinking, watching games/movies, poker and of course eating. This year we had more of the same. Being in NYC, we were fortunate enough to have mild weather for this time of the...

I have been hearing a lot of these smokes and decided last night to try one. I won some on Devil's and they have been sitting in my long term storage humi for about 10 days at 67-69%. Setting: Outdoors and in the garage. Temps in the low 50s. Light up was at around 7 PM. Appearance: Dark oily...

It's been four straight days of partying and I have been fortunate to share a few smokes with some friends and family. On Saturday, we throuh our Second Annual New Year's Eve EVE party:tpd: and I put out one of my humidors out for anyone that wanted to have a smoke. I was fortunate that we have...

Hey gents: I have a Noob question. I noticed in some of the Anejos threads that people took off the cedar wrappings on cigars that they intended to age because it promoted mold growth. Some people said that you should take these off the cigars if you are storing them, while others stated that...

With the end of the year I had some vacation days that I had to use or lose. So being home all alone and it being a nice mild day in NYC I decided to try the CAO eXtreme. I am a big fan of the Brazilia and Black lines so looked forward to giving this one a try. Setting: Outdoors on the deck...

I have to tell you guys that I am smiling while I write this review. The reason I am smiling is that these were my first box of cigars that I purchased as I first gazed down at the slope and my Noobie mind thought "These have to be really strong cigars". They are 5.00 x 54 and are despcribed as...

Bit of a rant but how many of you guys get annoyed at the fools who sit there and overbid when a little research would have revealed that the same smokes could have been had for less (sometimes much less) had people done some due diligence? We all make mistakes but you would think that people...

Hey everyone: It has been a while since I have posted a review so figured I would add this quickie. I generally liked the 5 Vegas lines of cigar but have had no success with the Classic line. I have tried 5 of them and each time I had various problems including, too tight of a draw, harshness...

Hey everyone: I have learned a lot and enjoyed some great smokes since joining this site. Yes, I have gone down the slippery slope and now I have a related question. I have a 100 gallon coolerdor set up with an Oasis XL. I keep it at 67-68 RH and store certain smokes (NC) in there original...

Lat night me and the misses were celebrating our anniversary so after dinner we went out on the porch I produced two of these beauties for our enjoyment. I wanted a mild cigar that both of us could enjoy on our own and someone suggested AVO to me a while back. At the time I found a good deal and...

I have tried all the 5 Vegas thus far and decided to give the Limitada a shot. I enjoy their A and Gold series but so far not a real fan of their Classics. These have been sitting in my humi for about 6 weeks at 65% RH. It is suppose to be a complex, full body smoke with toboacco being used from...

We have a week's vacation in Atlantis and am wondering if anyone can recommend (if any) smoke shops worth visiting. Looking for a reputable one that may sell certain sticks from a place that will remain unmentioned;) Thanks for any help and/or advice guys.
