Put the laundry in and sat down to have a nice relaxing smoke in the cool night air (as the apartment is pushing past 80). Pulled out a Tatuaje Havana IV Angeles. From the get go there were problems. Was a bit windy out, and without a lighter it was a bit of a challenge, but it lit and the...

I spend a lot of time looking at cigars on the web, but looking at my bank statements over the past few months I've realized that I actually haven't bought many cigars online. I've been spending more time in the local B&M since I moved to Longmont in January. Yes, it's a bit more expensive to...

So it seems my trusty Ronson JetLite has given up the ghost. It's just not lighting. Gas is coming out, it's sparking, but no flame is produced. I've tried compressed air, refilling it, and of course the ever popular banging it on the desk. Not really that last one, but who says violence...

Sat down this morning at my local B&M's lounge with this amazing cigar. This is one of my all time favorite smokes, but not exactely cheap so it's a very once in a while cigar. My B&M has a few of them so I splurged and went for it because I completely aced my classical japanese exam and...

So almost through the dry Colorado winter here, and I'm thinking about re-seasoning my desktop humidor. The whole winter I've been having trouble with keeping it above 60% humidity. It probably has to do with the weather, but I've had trouble with humidity ever since I moved out here. Now the...

Havana Manor 1240 Ken Pratt Blvd. Longmont, CO 80501-6300 (303) 776-2332 www.havanamanor.com Great selection and a great staff. Possibly the best cigar shop I've ever seen. They have a wonderful member's lounge as well as a public lounge that I like to duck in before work/class to have a...

Size: 6x48 Appearance: A nice CT wrapper that is smooth but has a couple of large veins. There is a distinctive double cap on the end. Pre-light draw: Mild flavor that is slightly fruity but mainly tobacco. First Third: Still mild, a bit leathery, but not yet anything to write home about...

Darrell sent me a.... I'm not entirely sure, I think it was a Gurkha Master's Torpedo #3, as a Newbie PIF, but it was an awesome smoke. Haven't had a cigar in a while, but had some trouble sleeping so I threw on a jacket and a rain coat and took it out for a midnight stroll. Nice peppery...

So I grabbed one of these one or two weeks ago (don't really remember) because I was curious. Decent construction, no burn issues, overall a nicely built cigar. Other than that I can sum up the experience in one word: underwhelming. Not a bad cigar, but not great either. I know I am very...

So the cigar: Montecristo White Especial #3 (5.5" x 44) So there would be pictures but, my camera is on the blink. By that I mean I forgot to charge the batteries. The construction is quite nice, which is to be expected from this cigar. There are a couple of small veins, but they don’t look...

So we've all had that cigar that we didn't really like, but had that feeling (or were told) that they'd be better if they had some time to rest in the humi. So which one are you waiting to try again? For me, it's currently a Punch Rothschild. Got two of them when I bought it at the B&M, so...

So I'm still new at this ordering online thing, and I jumped on that Joe Cigar special from CI with the ashtray and five montecristo platinum toros. They arrived today, but two of the cigars have mold on them. I already sent an e-mail to CI, but what should I do with these cigars. Should I...

So I survived the car trip from North Carolina, and it seems that my sticks have survived as well. Not too much trouble, so far I've smoked a Montecristo half corona and a Perdomo Lot 23 (don't remember the size, something along the lines of a robusto) and they turned out fine. A tad dry for...

So this week saw the arrival of a package of goodies from JR. After trying some of the Montecristo Half Coronas (the NC kind) I decided to order a box from JR. Just so happened that they currently happen to have a deal that sets me up with a free humidor if I buy a box of Montecristos. So I...

So a friend of mine got an order of cigars this past friday. What struck me was that all of the cigars in the order were just extremely dry. I've never ordered cigars online before (but that may change soon, there's a box of Montecristo Half Coronas that I've been drooling over) and I was...

Hey, just had my first Montecristo, and I know that I'm a newbie and I know that it has probably be done before, but I felt inspired. Feel free to take me out behind the shed and hit me with a 2x4, but here I go. The prelight draw was quite good, I could get a nice amount of air to come through...
