I was perusing the taboo site and noticed something peculiar. I thought months and months ago it was called Honduran Sun Grown? Now it's Habano Sun Grown? Am I wrong? or did they never explain what HSG was before. I've had a few of this stick and was pleasantly surprised.

I have been holding my Taboo Twist cigars in the humi for about 6-8 months and decided after dinner I should bring it down to my local B&M to hang out with my regular crew. The staff doesn't mind because we usually buy a smoke while there as well. 2 cigars were on tap for this evening 1) Taboo...

I've had several threads recently questioning Vinotemp set-up, cedar smell on shelves. Well it's finally finished and working to perfection. I ran 2 22 gauge solid core wires through the drain tube into the vino and then sealed up the drain with electrical tape. The two wires on the outside...

I ordered some shelves and trays from Mtmouse for my Vinotemp that I am setting up. They arrived last week and are beautiful...however they smell VERY strongly of cedar. I know we all like the smell of cedar, but this is a pretty strong scent. I have no cigars in them right now for fear that the...

I see several people have created water collection dishes in the bottom of their vinotemp. 1) What material did you use to divert the drippings into a dish? Obvi0ously not paper. Duct Tape? 2) Considering fishing 22 gauge solid core wire through the drain hole and splitting it inside to run 2...

Heading down to the Carolina Coast, North Topsail Island Beach Saturday and wanted to know if anyone is familiar with that area and what B&M's might be there. Wilmington is 20 miles away, so I can always look there, but the closer the better. It's right next to Camp LeJeune BTW. Of course I'll...

Can someone explain the differences among the different anejo #'s? Are they simply codes for Torpedo, Robusto, A, Corona, Perfecto, Belicoso, etc.? Thanks

Well I started my afternoon deciding to do some yardwork...by hand. Boy I should have rented a tiller or sod cutter or something. I'm in darn good shape but this whooped me. So I decide why not fire up a sun grown since I'll be i the sun. Smelled great, so I lay it down before I grab the Palio...

Fiance' needed me to run an errand, and she needed quiet time to study for MBA finals, so I took the opportunity and stopped by the local B&M last night. Old Virginia Tobacco Company-Kingstowne. I had been walking past the Winston Churchill boxes for weeks now and thought "Oh what the heck, a...

Interesting line in the ESPN article that another CS member posted. Babe Ruth rolled his own cigars....and here is a PIC to show it.

A nice stick with a punch of nicotine that hit me in the last 1/3rd. Woof. Leather and cedar taste. nummy. I smoked this while doing yard work in the back of the house. It was a pleasant surprise. I know it''s not much of a review but I did enjoy the stick, especially since it was the first...

Several Cigar men/manufacturers say "The Lancero is the hardest cigar to make." Ernesto Padilla said it in his interview with CA. WHY? B/c of smaller ring gauge? Limited availability of filler type? I know the Preferido shape is hard to make as well and only senior experienced rollers are...

Fiance gave me this cigar a while back and just unearthed it from the humidor. "A" size cigar, with lancero size ring gauge. I had forgot where I got it until she reminded me. She worked for Chris Wayne who used to be Pres. Clinton Director of Advance, meaning he coordinated events before the...

I was looking to pick up some RP 1990 Torp's and saw the cigarbid and CI listing of RP 1990 Torpedo 2nd's @ 1/2 the price for a bundle of 15. The description says cosmetic blemishes. Now I know what that means in terms of a humidor...but what about a cigar that is actually sold to stores to...
