    Man O' War Churchill

    Which CS Members Share Your Taste in Cigars?

    I know there's probably a very scientific way to do this however, I am not very scientific. I thought it would be interesting for us to post which members with whom we share our taste in cigars. These are the members who post a review and you say "Yes! Exactly!" These are the members whose...

    Two-Fer Tuesday

    Been 4 days without a smoke so I lined up a Don Lino Africa Petite Corona & a Camacho SLR Robusto for the evening festivities. Some Bell's Pale Ale was the beverage of choice. The Don Lino started out kinda bland but became a sublime beauty of a smoke at the halfway point. This baby was nubbed...

    Coming to terms with my Neanderthal pallette

    So, last night I had a Padilla 1932 toro as my opening cigar of the evening. It was okay for me. Not bad but not great. I followed it up with a Legends Orange Label (Rocky Patel). I loved it. It was everything I look for in a cigar. I am a cave man and I'm okay. MCS

    Who gave me the De La Concha?

    I pulled an unmarked cigar out of the humidor last night with the words De La Concha hand written on the cello. I fired it up and was instantly ruined. It started out with Pepin-like spice and evened out to a rich Nicaraguan smoke that made me love it like programmer loves binary. So, who did...

    Best pre-smoke aroma from a cigar

    I just got my Graycliff Espresso order in yesterday and I must say they have my favorite pre-smoke aroma ever! I am cracking open the humidor where they rest like every hours just to take a whiff. Simply fantastical! MCS

Some folks...

    Large ring gauge?

    So I'm going through a large ring gauge stage. Lord knows, My mouth is big enough to handle it! I'm gravitating to 54-60RG and am enjoying the volume of smoke a barrage of flavor. So, what large RG smokes do you all like? MCS

    First cigar after illness hiatus = Taboo HSG

    I had my first cigar today since I got bronchitis about a week and a half ago. It was a Taboo HSG (Honduran Sun Grown). I smoked while driving so not much in the way of a review other than this a fantastic, nutty sun grown wrapper and excellent flavor throughout. This is one great smoke! Perfect...

    I really want to smoke a cigar...

    ...but I've been so sick, it would be a waste. I've been suffering through bronchitis since Tuesday. Missed most of 2 days of work but have been so busy that I spent my "rest' time in front of my laptop. I have no sense of taste and I'm having uncontrollable, painful coughing fits throughout the...

    Do you rely on the hygrometer?

    I've had a humidor (or 5) in the house for about 18 years now. I've always kept a hygrometer in my humidors just because it's what people do. I've found, however, that my own tactile abilities are usually good enough to tell me what state my cigars are in. I can pull one out of the humidor and...

    Strange cigar sighting

    I was at a gas station/convenience store in Shipshewana, IN today getting a beverage and on the counter, in a cardboard box were some 5 Vegas torps. They were sitting out, unhumidified with a handwritten sign saying "Premium Cigars" on it. I picked one up and it was as crunchy as a frosted...

    Another Taboo Twist reveiw

    I got the Taboo Twist Torp in my sampler pack and torched it last week. Up until then, I would have said I never met a 'Barber Pole" style cigar that I liked. The Taboo Twist has changed my mind! This medium bodied beauty was rolled perfectly to give an excellent draw and lots of smoke. The...

    Do you remember when Nicaraguan cigars....

    ...were the red-headed step-child of the cigar industry? In the cigar boom days, cigars from the Dominican Republic and Honduras were all the rage. Few cigars that hailed from Nicaragua made the grade with the boom smokers. They were a little too strong and "earthy" for the casual boom smokers...

    Don Thomas Sun Grown Robusto

    This cigar was gifted to me. I don't know by whom as I am pretty unorganized. I really wasn't expecting much but had a long drive today and wanted something to pass the time. Too my surprise, this was a medium-bodied gem of a cigar! I compare this favorable to the the Rocky Patel Sun Grown line...

    Cigar Bobken Ashtray

    So, I smoke in the car quite a bit. I got tired of trying to ash my cigar in a soda can so I got one of these: The Cigar Bobken ashtray is a neat little 2-piece contraption with a long holding piece and a funnel type thing that goes into the ash container. The holder holds a cigar very well...
