...ah crap, my band is burning!! :al Feel like such a newb.

I've got a few deliveries on the way and needed to know if I have a serious problem? I constantly check those tracking numbers!! So, honestly... how often do you track your package?

I had an 8 year old Opus recently which drove me to my palette. Just thought to share my most recent watercolor (proud of this one I guess). The second isn't finished but I couldn't wait...

The U.S exchange rate is at an all time ridiculous low and I'm buying like a mad man. :hn:hn:hn

Over the past week I've had some Ashton VSG's... specifically the Illusion, and some Heritage Corona Gorda's. I have to say the for all the hype around the VSG, the Heritage blew it away every time. I would consider a box of these boys which I rarely do with NC's. Had that immediate sweet...

My wife is at a baby shower today so I'm Mr. Mom. Spent the afternoon with the kids, went to the park, lunch, bath, finally put them down for nap and went outside to take a deap breath with some wine and ginger ale. Lit up this Cien Anos Belicoso I've been looking forward to trying for quite...

So this is my first run through reading MRN's book cover to cover. Obviously tons of interesting facts so far, but the origin of this beloved size I thought to share. Page 84. Coronas "Referring to a cigar size, of 40 to 42 ring gauge and about 5 to 5,1/2 inches in length. This is the size...

I don't want this video to come off as snobbish...but came across this new section on CA's website where James Suckling and team sample cigars. What I found useful to share, is how these gentlemen are smoking their cigars. For any of the newbs here on CS who have heard the term 'sipping' a...

I just received my books today (and a few other goodies) and thought I would share some of the pics of this incredible book for those of you still on the fence. BUY IT... you won't regret it. I know it's expensive but it's difficult or impossible to find this info anywhere else and every...

Just came across this while cutter shopping and thought to share. Nice breakdown of cutters and how they rank from European Cigar Cult Journal. http://www.cigar-cult.at/englisch/be203.htm

OK seriously...I'm waiting for several packages for 2 weeks now. Open my front door to find this. Can anyone even imagine the odds of all 3 arriving in one day. I have mixed emotions though...also would have been nice to spread out the joy a little bit. There's my 20 cigar Aurora sampler...

I've always wanted to know how everybody else judges the characteristics of a cigar. Some aficionados say it doesn't make sense to look for food flavours in a cigar like one would do with wine, since tobacco is not food and these flavours cannot really exist. Yes profiles like spicy, earthy...

I currently have 3 one hundred count humi's all with analog dials and floral sponge. (ok I'll now wait while everyone gets a turn to kick me in the...

Been watching the mailbox for a while on these guys. Only one casualty...cracked wrapper on a Pepin JJ.. probably the extreme cold we've had lately.

I was hoping somebody can recommend a good Cigar reference book (Non cuban and cuban or both). I'd really like an encyclopedia type and heard that the Perelman's guide is OK but nothing special. It does list many brands and detail on each but I heard it's lacking in photos (yes I like pretty...

So I've been eagerly watching my mailbox for the past week for my Fuente Don Carlos #2 to arrive. I've never laid out the $50 per stick they charge here north of the border, but found this great site who ships here at great prices. So I decided to buy a handful. This was recently ranked #4...

I'm new to this forum and find it great from what I've read so far. Been smoking for 12 years and started collecting/aging about 10 years ago. Being in Toronto I'm fortunate to have access to all the finest Habanos which makes this event interesting. A couple weeks ago I walked into a Shop...
