It's not the stand alone man cave like we've seen in other posts. It's my garage. The difference now is I have a 19" TV with Dish Network, remote, comfortable chair, table, and refrigerator. :tu Over the past couple of years during the winter months, I either smoke on my back porch, which can...

Been a while since I've reviewed anything, so here's a new one to me. Rocky Patel's latest incarnation - the I-Press. It's an extreme box press stick. It's shape reminded me of a straightedge, much like a piece of designer molding. Here's some literature I found about it's make up: I-Press is...

BD Strummer (Bryan) works with me and we get a message around 5 p.m. from Joey that he is close by. So, being the true herfer he is, he busts our cherry and become the first offical non-Charleston herfer! We had a good 4.5 hr visit and toasted a Party Culebra (thanks Stewart) and few other...

Well, today is my first of many years on CS!!! Woo-hoo!! I've gained so much knowledge, made many, many new friends, and have come to discover that cigar smokers are some of the most generous and decent folks on the planet. Here are some reflections from the last 365 days: My credit card is...

Size: 7.5 x 49 Construction: Nearly perfect. Select Dominican/Mexican fillers (1 out of 100 leaves selected for use), rare Cameroon wrapper (1 out of a 1000 leaves selected for use). Not overly hard to squeeze, but firm and dense. Comes in glass tube. Smell: Unremarkable. Sweet tobacco aroma...

This cracks me up...I'd be on the floor rolling around in my vomit!! Jeez! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPqDGE8Iv7U

I guess you could say I'm somewhat of an Oliva whore. :dr I ran across the MB3 a while back at the local B&M and had to try it. Here's my thoughts. A little later I saw where Ron1YY had some of the MB2s in his shop and he graciously set me up. I really liked the MB3s and thought the MB2s...

I'm a big fan of the RP 1990 and 1992. The description for the double maduro says it's nipping at the heels of 90s and 92s. I have yet to run across one to try and was wondering how they compare. They look great. Anyone care to compare?

Being Toranosaurs, BD Stummer (Bryan) and myself decided to try the newest of the Torano family today. We found the Noventa Santiagos at Tampa Humidor for $5, plus free shipping. We were sold. After resting 3 days, the wait was over. Here's a little background: The Torano Noventa cigar is a...

Got a 5'er of these babies from BD Strummer for my birthday last month. They're been sitting outside of my humidor, resting, waiting for the opportune moment. You know how it is, someone asks you to do something and when you're neck deep doing it, you think, why did I ever say yes. I feel this...

It's a hit in blind taste tests! Always good for a laugh. A real crowd-pleaser!! :tu Don't let the PSHC guys get them all!! You have until 5/3 to get in on the action. http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=564812

Sorry, no pictures!!! BD Strummer and I popped into the local B&M yesterday at lunch to "look around". I saw something my eyes have never seen. A half-filled box of Party 160s was on the top shelf. As sold, they are sans-cello in their cloth wrapper. Mind you, $23 a stick. Had to take a look...

Check out this polycarbonate dessicator. I rescued it from the recycle/trash bin. My wife just shook her head. :rolleyes: I'm turning it into a see-through humi. It's in great shape and has minimal scratches. It cleaned up well. It's a 12" cube and is 3/8" thick. Nice stainless piano hinge...

On 2/20/08 I posted pictures of a couple of immature beetles I found in a cigar. See story HERE. Well 9 days later and I go to check on Mr. Molt and Mr. Crawly. Here's what I find...Mr. Molt is damn near Mr. Beetle. He's tuned brown, his little legs wiggle, but not enough strenth to lift...

We had a very large time in Greenwood on Saturday. Rob (GoodFella) was gracious enough to invite us to his pad for drinks, food, and cigars. He also lined up a late evening visit to a local water hole for basketball, cute waitresses, and more cigars. What's more unusual, we had several rounds...

5.5" x 48 Sungrown Cameroon This one of those cigars when you spot it, you think, damn, this thing is going to be good. Look how nice it's packaged. Lots of love involved. It is a beauty. Out of the glass tube, it feels kinda light. You know how some sticks are dense and heavy, not this one...

So, I'm watching TV, thinking maybe I should do a little arranging for this weekend's Upstate SC HERF. I like to lay my loose sticks out and check their status every month or so. If nothing else, makes the living room smell good. In one 20 count humi with some gifted cigars, I see a little brown...

Got this one pay day last Friday from the local B&M. At $9.00 (sans tax), it's on the very high side I want to pay for a smoke. But, been wanting to try one and never see them floating around anywhere. Vilota: Robusto 5x50 A little line from CI: MB3 is constructed with a lucious sungrown...

Stopped by the B&M today at lunch to look around and not buy anything (yeah, right!). On the top shelf next to all the Oliva boxes was a single box hiding from all-but-the-tallest person's view. In it I discovered a few Oliva Master Blend III Robustos. I've read about these but have never seen...

I found this the other night. Some good prizes for this contest. The picture of 3 gallons of ash is one hell of a sight. http://www.stinkycigar.com/photogallerycontest.aspx
