Hey all, I am kind of new to the whole spirits world. I have been a beer drinker mostly and rarely made a cocktail or anything like that. I happened upon some Zaya Guatemala, and after hearing so much about it, I went ahead and bought some. So now the question comes, how do you drink your...

As some of you may know, I really like playing around with photoshop and doing funny pictures in the photo chop threads. Well this morning I decided to do something cool with the 300+ photos of Clubstogie members that I have. I hope you all enjoy. (You can right-click and save this...

Welcome everyone to what I hope is a fun tasting test. A while back Drazzil made the claim that he didn't understand how someone could not tell a Cuban cigar from a Non-Cuban. He said that Cubans have a certain taste to them that distinguishes them. I asked would he be willing to try this...

Hey all, I have been wondering about something for a while. I have seen a good number of people base purchases and overall "likes" & "dislikes" of a cigar based on a Puff Puff Pass (PPP). So it has me wondering if a PPP is an accurate way to review a cigar? I know this is strictly a...

Cigar: Graffitti Chruchill. This is a cigar produced by the CFO. These were of their original limited release. It is promoted as a Tatuaje competitor, so that is how I will judge the review. Size: 7 x 48 Appearance/Construction: Good looking wrapper for a $2 cigar. There was a triple cap as...

Can you tell I am a little impatient?:r I was beaten to the punch at silo and at newhavana when these first came out and I have been biting my nails waiting for the release. Anyone got any updates or information? I know most places said end of March or early April and that time is upon us.

I know it's been said before, but I just felt like saying it again. Clubstogie is like no other place online or off. I just got back from my local cigar bar. While I was there one of the salemen/helpers came up and started really bad mouthing Rocky Patel's smokes. I told him I am one of Rocky's...

I have been thinking a lot lately on Blind tasting, Flavor profiles, etc. I put together some hypotheses and I would like to try them out with my fellow BOTL. I need 3 volunteers for the testing. There are requirements to being a volunteer: 1. NO food allergies 2. Have a hard time...

This is my review of the El Rey de Mundo Olvidados, Robusto size. Appearance/Construction: This has got to be one of the best looking boxes I have ever seen. The attention to detail and the waves/curves makes the cigar look important. The cigar itself is dark looking with a smooth wrapper and...

Well, this was on my must have list after reading Cigarmark's review and I really liked the Africa I had (if not for the bad burn issues). I found a couple at a great B&M of which I frequent his sister stores. Appearance/Construction: Dark wrapper that was a bit box pressed. Slender and gave...

Cigar: Cabaiguan Guapo Size: 5 5/8 x 54 Appearance/Construction: Very slick, great looking wrapper. It has a pig tail which reminds me of my favorite smoke (Trinidad's) Prelight Aroma: faint tobacco smell with a hint of burnt honey First Impressions: I was a little disappointed. I was...

Hey all, With all the talk of people trying to get these, I don't know how many have smoked one from this year yet. So taking chibnkr's sig advice and smoking the good stuff today, I lit up a #46 tonight to partake in my first Anejo. Through the first inch or so I was very impressed. I loved...

Cigar: San Cristobal (Classico) Size: 5 x 50 Appearance/Construction: Beautiful looking maduro wrapper. Smooth and very well rolled. Prelight Aroma: I know smelling them won't tell you much about how they smoke and in this case that was very true. It smelt slightly sweet and a bit like dark...

Hey all, This is my first NC review. I hope I convey my experience accurately. APPEARANCE: Torpedo in shape. Smooth wrapper that looks almost maduro. AROMA/ BOUQUET: Pretty much like most Pepin's. to me it smells like a robust cigar with a hint of black pepper SMOKE: Light and airy. Not too...

Hey all, Well time has come to upgrade once again. Geez this slope thing is really steep ;) So then, I am at a cross roads as to which one to get. A wine chiller or a coolidor? From what I gather, this is how I am comparing them. Please let me know what I may have missed or am incorrect...

Hey all, I have been reading around, and I usually can do well off of my searching skills. However, I have not been able to find much about this particular subject. I apologize if it has been discussed already. So then, are there smokes which an be classified as "full body" that have little...

Well, the slope is getting slick for me, and I am wanting to upgrade. Now before any of you say "coolidor" please note that I cannot have a cooler just sitting about in my house, closet, etc. So my best option is something like the following: OR.... So my question comes to you experts...

Hey all, Well I tried searching, so please forgive me if this is somewhere else. I couldn't find it with the keywords I was trying. Basically the title says it all. I am looking to get some discussion going on what your opinions are as to what cigar boxes are the best sealing. And by cigar...

Hey all, I have been researching on getting either a new punch or a new cutter. While searching I came across some lighters which have either a punch or cutter built in them. Do any of you have experience with some of these? I would love to find one with lighter, punch and cutter, but I...

First off, GREAT SITE you have here guys and gals. I have learned sooo much just by searching and reading (and reading and reading :P). So here's my problem(s): I have a desktop humidor. I think it's 20ct. . Well before really reading up I was a avid gel crystal user. However, these dang...
