I came home after a loooong day at work to find a package that I just knew was my new Palio cutter from the last group buy. I've never used one before, at least not to my memory, so I was pretty excited to use this. I've used xikar, zinos, scissors, etc. No name, brand name...hell just the...

Pregame: Must admit I have a bit of a man-crush on Jose Garcia. I'm a true Pepin whore and have smoked almost everything the man has rolled to include the GS "Stash" from Black Cat Cigar in Pennsylvania. Anyhow, this baby is a classic Toro size, 6 x 52, and was wrapped in cellophane. I...

I love a good, cheap smoke. I have been buying some of the CI Legends series for a few months now and the past couple of weeks have won some of their 15 cigar samplers. These samplers can usually be had for around $20-$28 and include the Blue, Green, White, Orange, and Red labels. I will...

Is there any revenue generated for the website if we click on the "ads by gooooooogle" at the top? I have a friend who runs a site and he says he gets paid a teency bit whenever enough people click on the ads. If there is indeed revenue involved, it won't amount to much if I click every...

I have to admit. I've tried the FdO regular line...maduros...and they are cigars I could smoke if I'm having trouble rubbing 2 dimes together. (Believe me, I've been there at many points in my life.) The Grand Cameroon is a step above. PreLight: Decent appearance...very smooth looking for...

I've tried them all...all at the suggestion of my tobacconist. The Edge, the Vintages (1990 and 1992 - various sizes) and just couldn't get into these cigars. Never liked the Indian Tabac either. Read the interview of him in CA last month or so...tried them all again. Same thing...they're...

I am wondering if anyone else has tried this cigar? This is a nice sized smoke: 6.5" x 50 ring gauge, box pressed. I've bought a number of these and have been pleased each time. I am a fan of Nicaraguan tobacco and this is a nice smoke. Construction is nice. The maduro wrapper is a little...

Don't get me wrong--I love...no...ADORE Padron cigars. But what's with the stems??? Seems like every Padron I cut through has the most humongous stems in it. I'm looking at the end of this 6000 and there are 3 huge yellow stems measuring at least 3 mm in diameter and 5 or 6 that are a...

I've never had much patience when it comes to aging cigars. Usually, what I have, I smoke. I've also, in the past, been blessed to have a friendly tobacconist very close to my home. Now that I'm making larger purchases, and am beginning to build up a supply, I'm wondering how long aging...

buymorecigars.com? I simply went to their website and requested a catalog. About a week later, I walk to my door and there is a big ol' priority mail box. I am thinking it's my turn on the Labor Day cigar pass, but it's a package from them. The letter inside told a little about the...

I'm looking for sources to purchase cigars online. Only catch is, do any of you know of any merchants that will deal in checks or money orders instead of credit cards? Hoss

The kid at the local cigar shop that I frequent recently got promoted to store manager. In his excitement, he gave me a Padron 1926 No. 1. Had this not been given to me, I would not have smoked it. It had a retail price of $25.00. ANYHOW-- W-O-W!!! I was just completely bowled over...

I am amazed at this phenomenon. Before I joined here, I had understood there sometimes "blowing out" was necessary, but I never did it. I did NOT know, however, of purging by "blowing out while having your lighter lit at the end". This really, REALLY adds so much to the enjoyment of my...

I've done a small search but found nothing tooo comprehensive about La Gloria Cubana bundles. It is worth noting this absolutely hilarious blurb in a post by TXMatt: <<<<El Credito - seconds of La Gloria Cubana, I haven't done these myself yet, but on another forum a reviewer liked one soo...

I'm SUPPOSED to be listening closely to this online training, but I'm having difficulties concentrating...I'm pretty psyched as a shipment of cigars came to me today. I am currently enjoying one of the Partagas Magnificos. Most of them were handfull's of singles. A box of Paul Garmirian...

I was talking to a couple of people who stated that they would NEVER relight a cigar. NEVER RELIGHT?? No...never...even if it goes out halfway. I'm a very slow smoker. I've been playing with this LCG Series R #5 (robusto) for about 2 hours now. I've relit about 4 times now (getting...

I'm sure I've butchered the spelling...but DOGGONE!!! I burned my finger finishing this cigar. From the label, I'd have never known this was a Hoyo. This cigar was near perfect to me. The construction was perfect...not a soft spot on it. The flavor was intense...complex and just...

I smoked my first one of these the other day and was really impressed with the flavor of this. I'm not one who can taste nutmeg or anything...but this was...um...I don't know...cinnamonny? I dont' know...had a nice flavor that I really enjoyed. The construction was nice...cap was a little...

Certainly this is a tired subject... But I FINALLY...FINALLY had a chance to try one. I just happened into the store when they were opening the box. They considered it a panetela...I am thinking lonsdale...but that's minor. Fact is, I finally tried an Opus X. Am I disappointed? Not...
