I was visiting my dad in Los Angeles last weekend and wanted to get a few cigars. Everything around the area where he lives is completely overpriced and not at all maintained. I'm talking CAO Brazilias for $20+ ea and they are soaked to boot. So I remembered reading in the interview with Pete...

I know this probably isn't a huge deal but it's the little thing that bugs me about CI/CBid/Joe. Today the deal is Cohiba robustos (at a nice price I might add). But the add copy states: ...a handful of 90+ ratings, in addition to a solid 92-point score and 'Humidor Selection' honors...

So yesterday I picked up a couple of Tat P1s. I'd never tried one and thought it might be a good way to save a few bucks if I liked them. Today I got about an inch into the thing and had to let it die. It was grassy, the wrapper had a few green spots on it, just an overall bad experience. To...

This was my first Nub. I was skeptical about the novelty concept but I knew Oliva Cigar Co made good smokes so I was willing to give it a shot. Info Nub Habano No 358 3.7" x 58 Paid $5.24 at CBid which is about MSRP Review It was a good looking stick with a medium brown wrapper, flawless...

Anyone tried these? I just got a fiver from CBid and they have new labels. A corona was exactly what this line was lacking. :2

Ok so I was one of the ones who chimed in on the last Puros Indios thread. I said that while I enjoyed their cigars as a noob I had grown tired of them and didn't feel that they offered anything more than a generic tobacco flavor profile. Justin, their rep, offered to send a few sticks of some...

After starting with small cigars and moving towards bigger cigars I've come full circle. I'm back to enjoying a good corona or corona gorda. I find the lancero to be very nice too but usually 2x the price of a corona. And a petit corona is like a tease to me. ;) So my question is what is...

I was passing through Hot Springs, Arkansas a couple weeks ago and had a cigar at a small place called Churchill's downtown. Anyway, when I bought a RP Edge maduro the lady offered me a small bag of dark chocolate chips. She said that if you eat just one or two chips about halfway through your...

I'm wondering if I'm alone on this. There are a few brands/lines that notoriously burn uneven for me. I mean I really enjoy them but I know going in that these sticks are likely going to require a lot of attention. Among those... Camacho Corojo Love these but don't think I've had one yet that...

Ever since I tried the Don Pepin Blue Label Lanceros I'm hooked on the size. I'm curious to know what are some other good lanceros/panatelas? Preferably NC and preferably medium to full bodied. I saw the Dominican Trinidad fundadores but reviews are mixed at best and that's a stick I can't...

CI today says the Fuentes have trademarked the letter X in association with cigars. Wow. I wasn't aware that one could get a trademark for a single letter in relation to anything. Seems overreaching.

I got a few cigars in trade the other day and one was a Pepin Blue Label with cello. Is this new? Every one I've bought previously came naked. I'm all for it if it's the new standard. Pepin stuff tends to get banged around in shipping (see various threads on the Padillas).

Don Pepin Blue Label Lancero (6 7/8 x 42) MSRP $9.00 I just recently discovered the Pepins and Tatuajes and I'm hooked. So when khubli said he was doing box splits on these I jumped in immediately and took 10. They arrived today and I couldn't help myself. I had to fire one up immediately...

Quick recap for those not here yesterday... I had a couple of special sticks coming in that I intended to enjoy on Mother's Day when I'm having a cookout for my family. I've been tracking them since Wednesday. From PA to GA it's 2 days by Priority Mail. They left first thing Wednesday...

I've been tracking a package for the last couple of days. It contains a couple of special cigars I'm hoping to smoke Sunday for my Mother's Day cookout. Anyway, they should have been here today. I've been waiting and waiting. Finally just now I went out and checked the mail to find a slip...

So it's Friday, what are you smoking? I checked the mail and had a 5-pack of Padilla Signature 1932 Churchills waiting on me. Since I've never had one I couldn't resist. So far so good.

My fiancee thinks it's amazing that I can recall where I was when I smoked a certain cigar. Anyone else have this "skill"? And for me it's not even special cigars. I can remember where I was and what I was doing when I smoked a certain cigar for the first time. I can also remember which...

It was mentioned in the 'Pepin whores unite' thread but some may have missed it. Cigar Insider today has a good bit of info on the upcoming Tatuaje Verocu. One will be released for the US east coast and one for the US west coast. Both are stronger blends of the Tatuaje red label. He's...

I went on a little bit of a binge last week on Cbid. I think I'm done for a while though. :ss Title: Padilla Signature 1932 Churchill (5-pack) Qty: 1 Price: $53.00 Title: La Flor Dominicana Cabinet Oscuro Natural Churchill Especial (20) Qty: 1 Price: $142.00 Title: La Gloria Cubana Series...

I'm relatively new around here but not new to cigars. I've been smoking several per day every day for about 10 years now. I'm a sucker for anything new so just about everything widely available and even most limited editions I've tried. Last night I stopped by a B&M in Chattanooga (Burns) and...
