    Punch Gran Puro (2 sizes)

    Old standby for me particularly the Libertad Tubo. I grew up on Honduran puros and really like the flavor profile. That profile is very different than the current trend toward Nicaraguan puros especially the trend toward particularly spicy cigars like many of the DPG blends. I will always...

    If you were to buy 1 box of cigars.... What do you suggest I buy for my 1st box?

    LOL Just found an J21 thread and you had posted you didn't like them. I guess I'm just off. I'll change my answer to Veracu West Side. :ss

    If you were to buy 1 box of cigars.... What do you suggest I buy for my 1st box?

    To buy for myself it would be a box of La Unica Cameroon #1 Torpedos. Love that cigar. Just a treat every time. It doesn't however really fit your criteria of full medium to full because it is maybe a medium fullness at best. For you I would recommend the Tatuaje j21. Great cigar in a...

    Ronson Tech Torch (Micro Torch)

    I have one of these. They work great. Can melt metal or light your stogie. The Ronson is clearly better made but the little cheapo from harbor freight does the trick. The harbor freight one you can make the flame pretty damn long. I have to be careful with it because it is a TORCH and not a...

    Joya De Nicaragua Serie C

    Info about the Drew Estates & JdN deal. Drew Estates did not buy JdN and will have nothing to do with manufacture of JdN cigars. It is a marketing deal. Drew Estates will do the U.S. marketing and distribution for JdN. Linky http://www.cigarcyclopedia.com/webapp/content/view/1112/27/

    Hoping for a diagnosis this time...

    Good Karma sent. My wife spent 8-9 mos seeking a diagnosis for an auto-immune issue. It really sucks as a process. Best of luck. I have disc problems in my back and I have found accupuncture to be the most effective treatment for pain. Not for everyone for sure but worth a shot.

    Oliva Special "G"

    Great review. These have a large but quiet following here at CS. I'm down to one but I always keep at least one stashed away in my humi. Wonderful rich cigar disguised as an insignificant "short smoke". It's been awhile since I had one I may have to dust the one I have off and reload. Thanks

    What is the longest time you went unwillingly without a cigar

    Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Get well soon. My longest was probably about 21-25 days after my daughter was born. I was lucky to get 30 minutes to myself let alone the hour + I prefer to enjoy a cigar during that stretch. Whenever I did get a little extra time then I always had...

    CAO Mx2 Robusto

    Nice review. Thanks. I wonder if someone opened the shrink wrap on the box using a razor? That could account for a slice in the cigar if it was the end one near the cut. I just picked up a fiver of these. I liked the one I had about a year ago thought I would revisit them.

    Taboo Twist Super Giganto

    Wow! That tooks some creativity and follow through. I can hardly get it together to take a half dozen pictures of a standard cigar. :)
