    601 Cigar Event - meeting Eddie Ortega

    My local B&M had a 601 event and Eddie Ortega from EO/United Tobacco/601 was there. I had been planning on buying a box at this event since it was announced, but the $1300 surprise work on my car today cut into that idea. They had buy 3 get 1 free and I was excited at the new corona they have...

    Pushing my dad down the slope

    If it wasn't for my dad I may not be a cigar smoker. I remember as a kid he'd occasionally smoke cigars, the strongest memories would be on the 4th of July and he'd use it to help light the fireworks. There were other times he'd smoke, but usually special occasion, golfing, etc. I smoked my...

    My Ronson stopped sparking

    Randomly just stopped making a spark, no "click" you normally get, can hear the fuel coming out though. Anyone have this happen and more importantly have a way to fix it or is this one toast?

    No mention of the Pepin price increase?

    I tried to search and didn't come up with anything, so hopefully this isn't old news on here. I've read elsewhere about Pepin cigars going up about 15% on average. One of the main reasons seems to be the increase in minimum wage in Nicaragua.

    Wood glue in humidor?

    I have a piece of my humidor lid, the part that extends down and helps with the seal (hope that makes sense) that is loose. Can I use wood glue to help it stick to where it should be and if not is there another glue that would work better? Thanks for the help.

    "Sorry, no cigars allowed"

    I was in Winston-Salem for business this week. Met up with RJT one night and had a great time. The next night I'm going to dinner and grab a cigar, not knowing the smoking rules of this place, but just in case. I walk in and get a seat at the bar and see many smokers. I set my cutter and...

    Humidor mold removal

    I have a small humidor that I do not currently use and had some distilled water in a small bowl to keep it seasoned and forgot about it. I just looked inside and I see some mold starting to grow on the cedar. Now, I do not need a quick process because I currently have no need for the humidor...

    Met Jim at Blue Havana

    Was in Alpharetta on business earlier this week so I made sure to get to Blue Havana II and visit Jim. Wow, what a great shop and great BOTL. He takes me into his humidor and as I'm browsing he grabs his last WOAM and gifts it to me for stopping by! He had a great selection, I picked up a...

    No need for a humidor......

    My house is currently 74 with 65 RH. I actually was starting to think my hygrometer was broke when I took out my tray in my humidor to grab some sticks and it didn't change. I had to take it outside to make sure it actually changed.

    Do you own more than you smoke?

    I'm guessing I'm not alone here in actually owning more cigars than I've smoked in my lifetime, although it is somewhat close for me. Any others in the same boat?

    Visiting Little Havana

    I'm going to be in Miami again this week for a few days and am thinking of visiting Little Havana for my first time. I'm wondering exactly what is there for a cigar lover to see/do. I'd be really interested if there is anything special at Pepin's factory. I don't really know anything about...

    Ashton VSG question

    So, I've got about 8 VSGs in my humi of various vitolas. Looking closely at them, 2 of them say Cabinet on them and the others don't. Did they change the label at some point or are they different in some way?

    Ashton San Cristobal

    Anyone smoked one yet? My cigar guy just gifted me one from RTDA knowing I love Pepin stuff. Can't wait to give it a go. Wondering how it compares to other Pepin sticks. He also was happy to tell me he was able to place orders for Tatuaje, that was the only great cigar he hasn't carried.

    Sail Makers Wax

    So, I did some reading on improving my seal of my humidor and read good things about using sail makers wax. So, it just arrived and now I'm wondering exactly how I use it. It is rather solid. I'm assuming I can kind of rub it on, but wondering if anyone has any tips. Thanks

    Anejo and little Opus X news

    Just stopped by my B&M and he said they are expecting 5 boxes of Anejo's this week. Told me I'll have no problem picking some up. They also just got in 6 or so 3 packs of 1992 Opus X, $99. For those on the lookout, it seems the B&M's that were getting Anejo shipments should have them soon.

    Marketing of Cuban named NC's in other countires???

    I'm curious as to if the NCs with Cuban names (ie Cohiba, Montecristo, every other brand) are sold in other countries and if so under what names? I assume that Cuba holds the TM, Copyright, or whatever other countries are using.
