I was smoking a first run trini a couple of weeks ago and the cigar would slowly release some type of brownish zap that was extremely bitter, I had to cut further into the cap to eliminate this, it seemed as if the moistened tobacco leaf was causing this. Now I'm smoking an Opusx, I believe is...

I'm the unfortunate owner of two colibri quantum lighters and their performance has been quite shite to say the least. I have used only high quality fuel to refill them, and pretty much keep 'em clean with compressed air, but that does not seem to make a difference to them. I'm upset that such a...

This cigar amazed me. I took it out of it's cello and I was hit by a wonderful, well cured, tobacco aroma, the wrapper was silky, with a soft touch of redish color, I thought I was holding a cuban. I grabbed some JW black and two ice cubes, and retired to the patio after a long day of hard work...

I just had one of these on my way home from work. The Partagas Black are my favorite maddies, and I was eager to try the smaller format. This little stick has all the qualities of their big brothers, the black, shiny wrapper full of oil, the typical earthy and sweet flavor, and it burned very...

This nc brand keeps on impressing me. I had purchased a five pack of these a while about 9 months ago and they just sat in my humi being over looked until yesterday, the oily maduro wrapper caught my attention, and I decided to give it a try. This stogie was easily lit and it burned really sharp...

Bored at worked, I compiled a list of cigar boxes I would like to get, nothing special, no LE's, just some regular production cigars. Came to a total of 27 boxes, and about $5400. Not bad huh? I'm a simple man;) BOLI PC cab RC BBF lonsdale PARTAGAS 898 lusi's psd4's psp2's Coronas Sr AT shorts...

I wanted to ask if this cigar has a naturally fermented maduro wrapper. I had one today that looked so black and oily that it seemed to have been painted and varnished. It was very good BTW. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a cigar case, two or three fingers. Anyone else uses them here? Any suggestions? TIA!

After many considerations, and many arguments with my inner cheap self, I finally pulled the trigger on a new Aristocrat Plus, in dark red mahogany. I'm very happy and excited. Bob said he will deliver before my birthday (in late august) Now the lengthy task of filling it up!:D its going to look...

I tried this cigar a while back and it really impressed me with the awesome flavors and awesome strength. It was a little too strong for me but I decided to buy a couple of 5packs from JR and give them some rest. Yesterday I unwrapped one of them, after sitting in my tupperdor for about 6...

Does anybody else think that Lew could be wrong on the panatela petit corona issue? How about the comments about Edicion de Silvio cigars?(although what he says it's true) I have always enjoyed his catalogues, but i think that he may have written this one on a bad day!;)

Well I was just curious if anybody resembles my cigar budget this month: $163.62 rang up between my two favorite stores and a deal online for a fiver. Last month was also around the same figure. The funny thing is that my humidor is more empty then ever. WTH?

does anybody have one of these? You may have seen them over at CI or Cigarbid. Any comments? Experience? Thanks guys!

Do you guys notice that while purging smooths out harsh flavors, it also takes away a little of the cigar's "character"? We all know a good cigar develops different tastes as it is smoked down, but by purging it gives me the impression that I'm starting the cigar all over again. Any thoughts?

I work nights and i get out late, sometimes you can see me in my balcony at 3am smoking a stogie and drinking Havana Club cuban rum.;) Any other gorillas enjoy a late night smoke?

Ok guys this is probably an old topic but here it goes: I have always read that domestics are better at 70%RH and Cubans at 65. My humi has kept the RH at 65 since i set it up in December and I have noticed that my domestics are smoking a lot better (very sharp, even burning) at this point than...

This is a very tame jungle and lately we have been getting a few questionable newbies posting links to auctions w/ fake isoms, free gadgets or gift cards etc. pds has taken care of them but beware, we will always have every now and then one of those fliers. Don't take the bait! Their links are...

Now that we have this in here what do we post over at our beloved World Cigar Lounge? Are we gonna need another one for Habano's questions too? I'll hate to see the jungle subdivided into so many categories. I'm confused! ???

This was a torpedo. I wanted to try it cause it kept on jumping at me in a few threads in here. So I went to my shop and bought this one along with the Antano in about 51/2 and 48. Three words: KICK ASS CIGAR! This thing is a powerhouse. Very slow burner, lots of coffe bean flavor. After 20...

I was wondering about the roots of ClubStogie. You know, how it came about to be, are there any members from back then. I know that this is a question that pds will have the answer to. I was just curious.
