    An observation about aged NCs

    I see so many people who stick up for NCs over CCs, and talk about how equal (or even in some cases better) the NCs are. I just wanted to make a single counterpoint in the form of a question: If aged NCs are so good how come they are so hard to sell? Over the past year I've sold 90 boxes and...

    For those considering an Aristocrat

    Get the full extension shelves. I know the money makes you think "Why" but trust me on this. Having had one with and one without it makes a world of difference to be able to touch any box you own in about 6 seconds.

    Why I sold so many smokes

    People have been asking me in pms and I'd rather answer this one time. Over the last year I've fallen hard on some things. I had more than 250 various RP products, 5 boxes of DCMs, 10 boxes of 80ths and 5 boxes of Anniversarios. And I wasn't enjoying any of those smokes the way I used to. I...

    Bad cigar descriptions (not to be confused with descriptions of bad cigars)

    I HATE to hear people say something like "towards the end its not a bad cigar." Its a bit like describing hell as not so bad once you get used to the burning sensation. And a guy always gives that description as he is handing it to you.

    Lighting with matches

    I don't ever light with matches. When I do I seem to have a difficult time getting a nice even light. is there some trick to this technique, I ask because I anticipate the arrival of my first Dupont tomorrow and it just struck me as to how the hell will I light stogies with it given how it...

    I feel betrayed, would you?

    OK long story short, every one knows the long standing love affair I had with my local B&M. I mean I was posting here for a while before I started buying and I knew that I wasn't going to get the best price buying at my retailer. I knew my selection would certainly be more limited buying from...

    Questions for the Zero Haliburton Users

    They are simple really: - How do you refill the humidifier? - How often do you have to refill it? - Whenever I see someone with these they are never using the trays, is there a reason for that? - How do you reset the lock?

    Smoke less but smoke better

    When I opened my first box of Davidoff Diademas Finas, there is a little book in the box that basically gives you the timeline of the Davidoff cigar business. The first page of the book espouses this theory, that even if you cut back to once a month and smoke the best possible cigars you can...

    How come you don't see more posts about aged NCs?

    I'm curious on this. I know at least 25% of the board believes NC to equal to CC. I mean we see this in posts all the time. But I really never see more than the occasional post about some one aging NCs. I mean sure you see the big three (Opus, Anejo and Padron) but its always a onesy twosey kind...

    What was the last bad smoke you had?

    I can't remember actually. I think I'd have to go back to Xmas time and it was a Taboo Twist Churchill which I gave the lowest score I've ever awarded in a review. To be I've had other Taboo Twists which were OK but all the Churchills were bad.
