    DPG Cuban Classic Robusto

    So, this isn't a review per se, as I didn't take notes while smoking, more of a "did I do something wrong?" I tried my first Don Pepin Black label last night (and I saw some other peoples reviews recently, I didn't want to thread jack) and I didn't enjoy it what so ever. Despite the extremely...

    Humidification Beads Smell Bad?

    Hey all. This is probably my dumb fault, but i honestly didn't see it coming. I smoked half a stogie, it went out, i clipped the burnt end off, and put it in a tupperware with a tube of beads to save for later. Probably not the best idea, but then again, I'm not the most forward thinker...
