I'm shipping a box of cigars, do it every now and then. Not too distant past seems like. Tonight my regualr 4.80 VCR tape sized flat rate box is going for 9.80?! More than doubled overnight? Anybody know what's up with this? flat rate postage faq link

1 inch straight tobacco, a bit harsh 2 inch mellows a LOT. I can exhale a large draw through my nose without a hint of tear, suprising for a Padron 26. Aroma is outstanding, I find myself just sitting here clamping it in my gob and sucking the ambient smoke up my nostrils quite a lot. Exhale is...

I love me some AVOs. Ordered a box of maduros from CI, they had a sale going. I've gotta say these are the worst looking AVO cigars I' ever seen. All the maduros I've smoked in the past has beautiful wrapper and caps. These do not. These look bone dry, one's cap is even semi exploded. Anyhoo...

6 x 52 torpedo Ecuadorian sungrown wrapper and a blend of Nicaraguan, Dominican and Brazilian tobaccos. A leaf of Grecian adds spice. I dove into this thing not expecting a whole lot after my only other Graycliff experience: CI Legends variety. The CI Legends are NOT representative. This cigar...

Just wondering if anyone else and tried these and what they think of them? After trying, and really loving, some ERDM and PLs in really small sizes I began buying a few NC tins looking for something that I could keep on hand in this size, the Machitos looked promising. Problem is they are...

I recently sent out the bat signal looking for 2 quality smokes made in the year 2000, the year of my son's birth, to smoke with jr on his 18th birthday. cigar_joel responded immediately and selflessly helped me get hooked up. He found and offered me no less than three choices for quality...

I have an associate at the office here that we're sending to Germany for a week of training in Ober-Mörlen, 35km north of Frankfurt and was entertaining the thought of having him bring back some cigars. This led me to thoughts of our monthly shipments of parts from Germany and what kind of...

4.5 x 30/60 figurado just opened a trade box to find this nestled among the goodie goods. Being they were straight from the mail and I can't stand to let *everything* rest a week I picked this one, the guy that sent it (thanks to okierock) had mentioned in the past he was not a huge fanof Punch...

well I hope you're proud of yourselves, 3 months here and the bad influence (wive's words, not mine!) is fully manifest in the new Vicksburg that is one Thursday from overflowing: baaaaadd go-rillas! (thanks :D)

I'm wanting to know if anyone shares my affection for these suckers? I received my first from an okierock bomb, a robusto, and immediately knew I'd be looking for them. I picked up 5 or 10 of the media coronas vitola and have had the pleasure of a couple more sessions and I'm just impressed...

Nice looking little 4-1/2x54 torpedo that I figured to make a pleasant 45 minute getaway, I was not wrong! Beautifully made, dense, heavy, oily wrapper this thing tasted great from the get-go, spicy, a little twang and it got a little stronger/edgier toward the last 1.5". Perfect burn and the...

A local B&M where I'm living has a small cabinet humidor (it's a "smoke shop" ... cigs mostly) and it's stocked 90% I'd say with a "Companion" brand. These are all in spanish cedar boxes with the brand and vitola branded into them and they're premium priced. I've never heard of them and can't...

Bleh! Holy !@#$ I cannot breathe. First cigar ever to give me a "feeling". Can't quite pin it down but I'm a bit jittery or something after this smoke. I'd like to report on the flavor and how delicious this cigar was but I didn't get a whole lot of flavor from it try as I might. I learned...

Figured I would review these 2 in the same post since they very much have the same flavor to them. The dirt is 4x43 and th torp is 5x54. I had 2 dirts and 2 dirt torps all but one of the torpedos had a *very* dark wrapper that was truly handsome. As with all Drew Estate cigars I've had they're...

it's not proper cigar smut without the Guccione glow is it? I got lost in some shops today, my first ever trip to some proper local humidors and embarrassingly enough, I didn't have a shopping list and I forgot almost every recommendation I'd taken and interest in from my last weel's lurk...
