Having just finished my first cigar for ages (due to ill health and exam revision), ive come to the realisation that i've never purged a cigar and had a satisfactory result. The taste post-purge on every cigar i've had, including the aforementioned one, has been more sour and generally harsh...

Do any UK BOTLs know of any humidification device like the heartfelt beads available on our fair isle as im not sure i can be bothered with ordering pounds of the stuff and having to worry about massive shipping costs, etc. Cheers all.

Just a little idea for Christmas 2006 (ie the next one): Not sure wh/if this has been done by before, so apologies if im nicking your idea, but i thought a Club Stogie Secret Santa would be nice to get everybody interracting with people they might not necessarily meet. A Secret Santa (as i know...

Having recently posted 2000 posts, i want to know what to smoke in celebration?

I know lots of people find it hard to define certain tastes and/or spot them in a cigar. well i thought id put together some defintions of my own to help people to spot tastes and incorporate them in their reviews. these work for me so i hope i havent just further complicated the issue...

Alright Chaps, I need a little help with my business studies coursework. im doing a project on the UK cigar market and as such have created a questionnaire on it for smokers to answer. i therefore need anybody with experience of the UK market (ie anybody who lives here or has lived here even...

tbh this smoke felt and looks slightly dry despite perfect conditions-just one of those cigars. Unfortunately it didnt smoke as nicely as it was packaged with its gold foil wrap etc. to top it off, i was stung by a wasp, not a great experience...6.0 Name: RJ OC Robusto Batch No.: MSRP...

OK, so i like torpedoes, i like AFs but i dont like this cigar. WTF? a real disappointment, if it were cuban i would have said it needed age on it...7.5, maybe it hadnt settled, who knows? Name: Arturo Fuente Torpedo Batch No.: MSRP: Size: Torpedo Aged in my humidor: bomb Drink Choice...

Having seen a review of this cigar earlier that rated it as mild i was intrigued to light this one up, seeing as i thought it was going to be a medium-full. 7.5 -not great, just average. overpriced if anything. Name: CE Beck y Ca Toro Batch No.: MSRP: around $100 for 25 Size: Toro Aged in...

Edit: Bad format, looked nasty. have reposted

A while back i posted about the possible need for some sort of site we could direct people to when they ask for "a cigar that tastes like cigar 'x'". Well after some correspondance with a generous PHP programmer on the forums here [tiptone] it looks like we may well be able to create a site...

During the my last month and a half here ive been amazed at how many times ive seen the post "I love cigar 'x' what else should i try that tastes like it?" This then leads to everyone giving their own opinion on each individual cigar asked about. therefore, i ask you: Isn't there anyway Club...

Ive read various different techniques on drawing. some people say you should take short shallow draws on the stogie [perhaps to avoid it overheating] and others recommend taking long deep draws on the cigar. Personally ive always used deep long draws but i tried short draws on advce saying it...

Firstly id like to thanks Neoflex for the inspriation for this post-he suggested a sort of cigar club for CS but i thought it would not be possible for Euro gorillas to be involved [see origianl post for why]. I hope you [neoflex] dont mind if the euro gorillas go ahead and make one...

Right- a short intro for this cigar: whilst perusing CC i came across these labelled "Copies of the original Cuban brnad, made to taste just like them!" and i thought 'yeah, right' as you do whenever you see anyone claim their gars are just like cubans. However, for the low, low price of 19.99...

Does anybody know of any good B&Ms in or around Lisbon in Portugal, any help appreciated.
