    Vinotemp users: Your stogies may not be safe from impending beetle infestations!

    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...

    Something's been bugging me lately.

    As I was preparing to get a MAW bomb out, I decided to take a look at all my cigars to make sure everyone was happy. My CC's are all kept in a separate humidor from my NC's, which stay in the cooler. Upon opening the final box (which holds some of my nicer NC sticks), look what I found on a 601...

    Marker's Mark cigars?

    Does anyone have experience with these? A friend gifted me one, along with a bottle of Marker's Mark (new favorite bourbon), and I'm quite interested to try it.

    LFD 2000 Series, I believe this is a No. 5, but it could be a No. 2 (.25" difference) Cut: Smooth and clean with my Oliva double guillotine (I realize that rhymes). Light: Cedar strip, as always. Draw: Perfect, very even with just a little resistance. Prelight aroma: Grassy, wet hay, and maybe...

    La Flor Dominicana Ligero Torpedo

    I want to start by saying I sometimes take notes when smoking, especially if I’m smoking a popular (or unknown) cigar. My “amount burned” measurements are estimated afterwards, so excuse me if they seem off, I’ll do my best to keep things straight For those who are...

    Mold?

    Mold? Plume? What's everyone's take? My friend thinks it's plume, and I agree with him at this point. It wiped off easily.
