    La Gloria Cubana Serie R Limitada 2006

    Last Xmas, my brother gave me this cigar amongst many others as a gift. He told a B&M owner a few cigars I liked and asked for reccomendations. This monster of a cigar was one of those. With its dark hue and gigantic size, I was very intimidated. So intimidated that it sat in my father's...

    Cabinet with bad seel

    I have a trivoli cabinet from tampa humidor that leaks like a bastard. I assumed I would get what I paid for with it, but I now have a cigar oasis xl and a lb of beads in there, and I have to refull the oasis every 2-3 days. It is constantly fluctuating between 65-67. What can I use to...

    ~1 year old Ashton ESG

    So last year while working on the chicago options exchange I picked up a few Ashton ESG's the day they came out at Jack Schwartz's. I tucked them away in the humidor here at home and left for college. Around Christmas time I came back, had one of them, which I found to be very very good, but...

    Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ

    So, I want to start this off by saying that I absolutely adore the Don Pepin Blue Label. I think it is an utterly fantastic smoke, and an incredible deal. I would not hesitate to pay 2X it's price if that was what was charged. I tried the Black Label, and I was not a huge fan. It was ok...

    Fuente Sun Grown Cuban Belicoso

    I had this cigar on a recommendation from a friend. The only sun grown I had before was the VSG which was one of my favorites, so I came in expecting a similar favor. Not the case, but it was still a pleasant surprise. The draw was a bit tight, but far from plugged. The flavor, I would...

    Help me pick a cabinet

    I want to buy either one of these two humidors. I think the Trivoli is substantially better looking, but I've heard a few things that imply there are some random lemons. I have seen nothing but positive reviews for the connoisseur, but its pretty hideous to me. If you have had an experiance...

    Camacho Corojo Dark

    Let me preface this review by saying that I smoked this cigar only because of my horrible cigar collecting practices. I have been snatching up CCs like crazy, and I realized that since they must be aged, I was running out of NCs that I could smoke on a regular basis! I found this Camacho in...

    What to do?!

    So my semester is coming to an end. I am moving out of the dorm May 9th and into an apartment May 23. So here is the problem. The day I leave the dorm I am flying to Boca Raton, Florida for my brother's college graduation. From there, I fly back home to Chicago until the 23rd, then I return...

    La Aurora 100 Anos Churchill

    So I got this for my birthday in January from my dad and it has been sitting in my humidor waiting for the right night. It was a beautiful low 70s night here in Atlanta, so I decided to go outside and give it a shot. For the last two weeks I've been smoking mainly Cuban punch, bolivar, and...

    My first review (Oliva Serie O Torpedo)

    So as the title says this is my first go at a review here. I'll do my best but it will probably end up being brief. First of all, I can't stress this enough, the aesthetics of this cigar are flat out unbelievable. The wrapper is silky smooth, has very small veins, and the draw was...

    I don't understand humidor pricing

    I feel foolish here, but I can't for the life of me understand how desktop humidors are so much more expensive than most cabinets. I have an Elie Bleu Fruit 120 ct which cost a little under 2 grand. Before that I had a promethus and the elie bleu is substantially better at holding humidity and...
