Never had a Tatuaje Havana VI with a decent draw - all have been impossibly tight.

There's a difference between that, and "we need a government that controls our lives because we aren't smart enough on our own". I don't need Big Brother giving me a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt or eating trans-fats and telling me "it's for your own good."

If Pepins, Tatuajes, and PAMs were in the $4-$7 range (competitive with my favorite Cubans), I'd be far more inclined to smoke more NCs. It annoys me when people get pissy about smokers who lean towards Cubans, thinking they're snobs. I believe the Fader's in Towson has a box. Should be $225...

You're not supposed to eat the filler tobacco.

B&Ms give 'em out for free as well

Why the hell not? I'd be looking forward to such an occasion for that reason alone.

The way I see it, a new cigar is always worth a try. Whether it's to see how your opinion stacks up against CA's rating, a guy on CS, or it's a cigar you've never seen before, it's always worth a shot (providing it isn't outrageously overpriced or doesn't have a chance of suiting your taste).

Great pictures and review! That cigar looks delicious :dr

Very rarely. Sometimes if I'm walking the dog and forget about it, working (I'm a landscaper), or am preoccupied.

No problem here. Might want to look into using a safer browser such as Firefox, as opposed to IE.

While I'm definitely more interested in the cigars, I'm a sucker for packaging. I love clean boxes and sharp bands. When a cigar (even if it's a tasty cigar) has a cheap looking band on it, it's less appealing to me to smoke again.

What is it with people washing their X-Tends?

If they're tasty, I'll smoke 'em!

A good thought indeed. Maybe it's about time we got ourselves a resident anthropologist, haha.

Wait, what? I know they aren't supposed to hatch at those temperatures, that's why I posted a thread concerning potential thermal fluctuations in Vinotemps. I'd agree with you on the "hatching in transit" theory, had the cigar not been in the Vinotemp for roughly 6 months.

Sucks, but it seems to be true. I keep my Vinotemp at 57*-60*F, according to both its own thermometer, and a hygrometer/thermometer combo, and I just discovered a stick with a beetle hole in it. Luckily, the little bastard was huddled up dead in the corner of the box. Though the stogies from...

Loving my LE07s, they've really made leaps and bounds in terms of flavor and complexity over the last year or so.

I use about 50 billion layers of plastic wrap when I ship boxes like that. I usually put a thin piece of bubble wrap inside the box to make sure everything is completely secure. Looks goofy, but I have yet to have a package arrive in less than perfect condition :)

The guy dropped a few tickets at ~8 minutes >.<

Haven't really been buying cigars the last 4 or 5 months, so I suppose I'm at around 80. I'll be stocking up again soon, though :).
