A break from the anti-smoking madness: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2475001/German-court-overturns-smoking-ban.html

#1 question I get when people find out I'm a cigar smoker: "What's your favorite?" I never have a single answer. Anyone have a certain answer?

Background: When I buy by the stick, I buy from my local B&M, and I smoke whatever I buy in the shop. Even though I could bring in cigars and smoke them, I never do. I only smoke in the shop what I buy from the shop. For boxes and samplers, I buy from two online retailers. Recently, I was...

Just got back from a 3-nite trip to NYC. Some great herfing. Hit up 4 different cigar shops/lounges: Velvet Cigar Lounge, Barclay Rex, The Carnegie Club, and Merchant's East. Before this trip, I'd only smoked in NYC at The Cigar Inn, where I'd been a few times. Had a house Nicraguan at...

http://cigarreportdaily.com/column/4/12517.html http://canadianmags.blogspot.com/2007/11/cigar-report-lights-up.html Anyone seen this? Sounds an awful lot like Cigar Aficionado, right down to the freature article on Jimmy Smits.

Anyone have a link to the Padilla sampler from CI that expires today? Happy Thanksgiving.

I am 4 cigars into my new box of St. Luis Rey churchill maduros. All 4 have been so tight that they have not been enjoyable. Call me crazy, but I just can't stand cigars that make me feel like I am about to bust a blood vessel in my head. Is this a rolling problem, or is just that box...

I've mentioned this place before, but now that they have a website, I wanted to post it. My favorite shop in my home state. http://tleaf.charterinternet.com/index.html

Has anyone smoked any of these? They're a Famous Smoke Shop line, and the deal FSS is running is ridiculous. Just curious if anyone can speak for this cigar. Many thanks. http://www.famous-smoke.com/cigars/search/xsr.cfm/st/1/bc/MRM/emk/EMO516?utm_source=EMO516&utm_medium=email

With the number of cigar-friendly spots shrinking by the day, I am curious: What is your favorite place you've ever smoked?

Just a heads-up: There's a front-page article in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal entitled "U.S. Farmers Rediscover The Allure of Tobacco."

I am curious about your purchase habits. Do you buy most of your cigars at B&Ms, online, both? What is the breakdown, percentage-wise? I buy all of my boxes online (the best route, financially), occasionally buy samplers online, and buy single sticks at B&Ms (the most expensive route), when I...

Got to Philly last nite for a quick 2-nite, 1-day trip. Smoked a cigar from home at Mahogany on Walnut (http://phillycigarbar.com/) and just strolled thru Holt's (which has the largest walk-in I've ever seen, with a lounge in the back) to check out their stock. Good selection and excellent...

I previously posted about my belief that Cubans are no better than NCs. After a week in the Pacific Northwest, I am amazed at how much the B&Ms charge for cigars (I haven't seen any NCs in any shops I've been to in Victoria, Vancouver, or Whistler). Fortunately, I brought my own cigars...

Hey, everyone. I'm taking a trip to Seattle/Victoria/Vancouver/etc. for a week, beginning late Thursday nite. Where are the places to smoke? Any great cigar lounges? Let me know if you have recommendations for places to stay, eat, and see. Thanks!

Hey, everyone. I have until Friday to choose between jobs in Austin and Phoenix. At this point, it's a coin toss. The cigar issue could honestly tip the scales. It seems PHX has more places to smoke (Austin restaurants are smoke-free, apparently.) via cigar bars/lounges and more retail shops...

I have a couple of job offers in Austin, TX, so I am weighing the pros and cons of the city. Where can you smoke in the city? Are there any true cigar lounges? Any B&Ms where you can sit down and have a smoke? Thanks!
