    PA ban: My business was just notified...

    Don't blame us lawyers (we love cigars). These bans are courtesy of politicians, and baby boomer health freaks who saw their parents die of lung cancer from smoking cigarettes. If it weren't for tobacco company lawyers fighting tooth and nail we'd have a total national ban by now.

    Taboo scammed me... WTF

    Not to disparage Cigarmonkel's impressive feat (to say nothing of Taboo), but anybody can do this, it's not hard at all! "Clarence Darrow, of Scopes monkey trial fame, has a reputation as the best trial lawyer in U.S. history, an icon to many in the profession. There are many, many stories, but...

    Smoking man cave ready for operation

    Great stuff, especially the red pointy ashtray jj, but you gotta move that tv closer to your chair. My outdoor space is mighty cold and boring compared to yours!

    Not sure if Tatuaje Havana6 are officially "corojo", but the wrappers are very red, and the cigars are great!

    Vacation in Boston (also Quebec border Q)

    From what I understand, even our Massachusetts taxes pale in comparison to our BNOTB (Brothers north of the border). While in Boston, be sure to stop in at L.J.Peretti's if you are looking to pick up a single or two. They have a pretty good selection, and you can walk over to Boston common to...

    Does anyone not like Padron?

    I have only tried the regular line, no 64 or 26. I really like them but usually find the draw a bit tight until they sit a year or so. Then they are great! The londres/delicias/2000 are a great bargain at less than $4 especially with all the $8-10 smokes that are not as good.

    Winter Proofing The Balcony For Stogies?

    Around here (Western Mass.) you see a lot of porches in winter where people just nail up the plastic sheeting. Of course that puts holes in the house, but you can solve that by telling the wife you'll paint the whole house "come spring."

    Humidor taking the flavor out of my smokes?

    Nathan, I think there are a lot of things that could do that. One thing that comes to mind is mild cigars which I used to love now seem to have lost their flavor, now that I smoke mostly stronger cigars.

    Question ~ CAO Brazillia Piranhas

    I have only smoked a larger size of the CAO Brasilia (Gol!, which others here think very highly of) but I tossed 3 out of five because they were plugged. That was maybe 2 years ago and I have not bought any more Brasilias. I would take a Padron standard line maduro any day over CAO, for about...

    Tinder Box absorbed by CI???

    I noticed that too - Tinderbox is now carrying CAO Black, which used to be a CI exclusive. According to the Penn. corporate records office, TINDERBOX.COM is wholly owned by BIG JIM LLC, a Delaware corporation. No free records searches in Delaware, so without paying $10.00, no easy way to tell...

    H Upmann?

    Of the H.Upmann's I've had (Vint. Cameroon; Corona Major; Gold Tubos) I liked the corona major and esp. the Gold Tubos. All mild-medium but the golds really taste great and I keep them in stock. For Cameroon wrappers its hard to beat A. Fuente Hemingway and Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon.
