As some people know, my birthday was on Monday (the 9th, share it with Malik23!), so I decided to have a nice pre-brithday mini-herf with a friend. I plucked this dark robusto out of my newly-gifted travel humi. I cut it with my cheap-o guillotine (couldn't find the scissors, turns out they...

I drove by this place in downtown Stamford (lower Fairfield County), and it seems like a classy establishment. The management were very friendly, and they've got a hand-roller on the premises rolling (I'm assuming) custom blends. http://www.ctcigarco.com/ Connecticut Cigar Company, LLC 43 Bank...

I smoked this 6x42 beast at the last NYC herf, and I gotta say as an avid C.A.O. fan, it's my favorite to date. The construction was absolutely perfect. It had the smoothest wrapper of any cigar I've had in recent memory, and the cap was perfect. I used my scissors to clip the cap, and the...

'Cause I'm going to Florida for 5 days in May. The 22nd-26th, I'll be in Weston, Florida (I have no idea where that is). If anybody has any suggestions as to any good B&M's or cigar-friendly eateries in the area, that would be fantastical. Graizie, signori!

Well, I went to Davidoff on Saturday, and I saw this beautiful looking stick for a great sticker price ($7.40). I bought it mainly because I can't find this vitola anywhere else. The wrapper looked great, and the construction was perfect, with good balance. I waited until I was at my friends...

About 2 months ago, I had a nice little mini-herf at The Owl Shop, and smoked a GREAT Avo #2 Tubo, it was the closest to an ISOM I've ever had. So, tonight, I went to my local B&M with 2 friends, and picked up this great lookin' stick. The wrapper was dark and oily, and the construction was...

I got this great stick in a package from Paul (alarmguy1). I finally felt like smokin' today (the 1st time since the accident!). I pulled this out of the humi. It has a beautiful wrapper with an oily finish. The cut was perfect (not too wet, not too dry), and the pre-light draw was not only...

I picked this up after having an JdN at Rex Barclay before the (in)famous NYC Herf. I've heard such great things about the Chisel, so I decided to pick one up, and wow... I've never had a cigar like this. I had it with a cappucino, and I was whole-heartedly impressed. The wrapper was perfect...

I know that it does happen frequently, and to many of us at that... so I thought I would share a few of my stories, which have been increasingly frequent. I was walking around town with a friend of mine yesterday (I was smoking an Hoyo de Monterrey 135th Anniversary Robusto, and my friend a Zino...

Well, when I first posted about my (then) new humi, you all warned me that it would fill up fast. So, I guess today is the "anniversary" of my purchase, and what do you know... it's just about full. Here's what I got... Okay, let's try this: (From left to right, back row) 3 Padron Anniversarios...

I just wanted to take the time to thank EVERYONE here at CS... you have all been fantastic. Lately, it has been pretty rough here. I took a year off from college to work on a political campaign (which we WON... one of the only Republicans who actually did!). However, during that time, my mother...

Well, I went to work w/my father today (only 2 recording sessions, so we had some free time), so we stopped by the Davidoff of Geneva store in NY... WOW! I knew it was a great store, but the service was fantastic and the prices were BETTER than here in CT!!!!! The selection was fantastic, and...

Well, I figured it was time to get my hair cut. I was starting to look like a hippie-liberal loser (anything longer than 4 inches!)... so I got it cut! To celebrate, I broke out a Carlos Torano 1916 Torpedo... I was ready for a good cigar, but this one was fantastic! I really enjoyed it! The...

Apparently, it has been pushed back AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It now says about 77 days until C.A.O. Vision (which I have no clue to what it is)... any thoughts?

I was wondering if anybody knows where I could purchase a butane replacement for my Zippo... I'm not a big fan of the smell the lighter fluid leaves, and I was told that you can buy a butane torch replacement, but I don't know where to buy them... any suggestions?

Well, I hate to burden you all, but this is a LONG one!................ Last night, my parents and I went to a hibachi restaurant for dinner with my sister and her boyfriend. Beforehand, we are told that the chefs LOVE to constantly use a squirt-bottle they have to shoot saki into your mouth...

Well, I woke up this morning and my dad walks into my room and hands me a big old bundle of stuff. I was REALLY tired so I didn't know what it was at the time. He gave me: - 2 leather 3-count cases - A NICE pair of cigar scissors - A beautiful gold cutter (yes, real gold) - An AWESOME...

I bought this cigar a few weeks back, and it dried out a little. I tossed it in my humi to regain some of its former glory, and I broke it out tonight for a 2-man herf. I was rather surprised. It had some nice, peppery notes, and lasted a LONG time for a dry cigar (which wasn't such a great...

I was just wondering what everyone thought of tins. Personally, I think they're great. They're relatively cheap, and I enjoy having smaller cigars for the car, or when I don't have time for a big stick. Also, the quality of the tins is increasing, and C.A.O. seems to really put in effort...
