My grandfather passed away yesterday. He had been having some minor health problems recently, and had been fairly weak, but nothing to indicate the end was near. Any of you that think about it, please pray for my grandmother as well as my mom and her sisters.

This is the first time this has happened to me. Had a Don Carlos Edicion de Anivarsario tonight with no dinner before hand. Started out like a normal buzz but I was literally shaking on the drive home. My right foot was even twitching trying to hold the gas down (thank God for cruise control)...

Don't know if this should be in legislation or not, but since it doesn't actually affect the majority of us, I figured it was more just an interesting story for all. Heard on the radio that Amsterdam is going to institute an indoor smoking ban. The kicker? This won't affect their weed lounges...

I've read that one has a better cigar selection by far. Which of the three locations is it?

Tomorrow I get to combine two of my least favorite things. Fasting and having blood drawn. I also have a pretty comprehensive physical tomorrow that the above are part of. I'd appreciate if any of the believers here would say a quick prayer for me tonight and/or tomorrow morning. Thanks!

Sears has the Coleman 62 qt. Xtreme cooler with WHEELS on sale for $20 right now. This might be a good time to switch over to a cooler if you have been thinking about it. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00673495000P?sid=I0084400010000100383&aff=Y

A B+M about 30 minutes away got these in recently and I happened to stop by a couple of weeks ago while my wife was shopping. I love the small batch #1, and was really looking forward to this cigar. Here is a pic of the two side by side so you can see the size difference. Small Batch #2 by...

I'll keep this one short. This was a pretty decent cigar. Good draw, decent burn and I liked the taste better than the Brazilia and the Italia. The taste didn't blow me away though, and IMO it's not worth the premium you'd pay over the brazilia or the italia. I'm happy I tried it, but I...

Had my first of these at Dave's 50th birthday herf last weekend. Of the 3 smokes I had, this one was by far the best. Perfect draw, perfect burn and I was really surprised by the flavor. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this cigar did not suck. I'll give it a 9/10. I'm not sure it's...

Saw these at a local B+M. They are supposedly an exclusive. Brazilia wrapper and Italia binder and filler. Anyone had one? They are pricey, like $16 for a double corona length, but maybe a bit thinner. I may pick one up just to show it off to you guys (of course to try it as well). The...

So, I try and strike up a conversation in the hotel bar with a guy smoking a WOAM. me, "Nice cigar you have there, that's a work of art maduro right?" pompus dick, "uh, yeah" me, "did you get that here in town or bring it?" pompus dick, "I brought it with me." me, "ok, cool. I was just...

:r:r:r I almost crapped myself I was laughing so hard. At least it wasn't in their 90 degree and what felt like 90% humidity walk in. They were double MSRP on everything else, but the "Opus #10" was $60! Limit 3 :r Anyway, I can only assume they meant Opus X Perfection X, and thought...

I'm looking for quantity here. While I need cigars on the cheap, I also want them to be decent quality. What I'm looking for with this post: 1) suggestions for good low priced smokes 2) sites I should check for deals (other than cbid) 3) any sales going on you know of on any specific sites...

Sure it is, I think I'll pass on the $12 Anejo 55's. Don't you hate it when the cigar store either won't admit, or doesn't know that it's mold and not plume? Saw just over half a box of Anejo 55s at a store today and after looking at them, I kindly mentioned that the 55's look like they have...

The manager at a local B+M said they are coming out soon and is the first cigar in a long time that impressed him. He said the price point is between $12 and $20 depending on size and that the sizes are named after some of Winston's favorite places. Sir Winston's grandson sold the rights to...

snowy sent me a Litto Gomez Small Batch #2 a couple months ago and I finally got around to smoking it yesterday. The color and appearance of this cigar is to die for. It cut well with my palio and the pre-light draw was within acceptable tolerances. Toasted the foot and away we were. The...

How many of you guys save good cigars ($10+ or whatever price range) for a special occasion? Reason I ask, I've been pretty much exclusively smoking my good cigars recently. For instance, last Thursday I had a Padilla Miami and an Anejo 50. I have the intention of smoking a cheaper stick, but...

Edit... it's been brought to my attention that the Belicoso may not be an exclusive to the vendor I bought from, but is also carried by at least one other site. I called it an exclusive based on what Ernesto himself said when he personally replied to an email I sent through Padillas site before...

Haha, 2 hand rolled torpedoes soaked in OUZO Vodka! I better jump on this one. I also like the fact it's recently been serviced with fluid! I just hope they didn't wait more than 3000 miles between fluid changes. :r

The background. We don't have air conditioning in the apartment until they turn it on for the whole building, then we control it ourselves for our unit. It's freaking hot here today. I've double bagged a ziplock bag full of ice to put in the coolador (with a towel around it to absorb any...
