    Cusano Habano LXI Sungrown.

    I was exposed to these yesterday and it's a great, buttery, budget smoke. Who has them and for how much?

    Graycliff 1666 Torpedo

    I got a pair of these in trade as I've always wanted to try this brand. I clipped the first cigar and there were many strands of hair both in the Xikar and the cigar. Needless to say I tossed it. I still wanted to try it so I clipped the other one. This was a pretty bad cigar and lasted...

    CIs 5-pack madness...what should I try?

    CI's 5 pack madness represents the BEST deal on cigars anywhere, to me at least. They typically beat CBid prices and even prices on the WTS forums at CS. Combined with the CI free shipping code (is there a current one?), it's a no brainer. I'm definitely going for the 5 Vegas 'Miami'...

    Boli PC or Monte #4 (or both)?

    I'm about to buy a cab but I can't decide on either the boli PC or monte #4. I've had the #4 and it just might be my favorite Monte (though it was 2 years old). I've had other Bolivars but never the PC...I absolutely love that Boli flavor and it seems really good off the truck...

    Strolled into Tampa Sweetheart's today.

    I strike up a conversation with an employee who looks familiar and lo and behold it's Arturo Fuente Jr. I also got to meet Fuente Sr. Very cool guys that don't seem all 'self-important' like some other icons of the cigar world (Rocky, this means you!). My camera was in the car but of course I...

    Any BOTLs in central VT?

    I'm going to Castleton for a week. It's just west of Rutland. Anyway, I might be looking for a botl to hang with at a B&M in Rutland, if there is one. The wife will probably go to Manchester for outlet shopping on friday...that would probably be a good day to hook up. Hit me up on PM or in...

    Rob @ Taboo has made my night!

    I placed an order with Rob for some 1926 40ths (my brother's getting married, these will do nicely) and some HSGs yesterday, taking advantage of the awesome coupons that Rob is known for. As it turns out, he launches a sale today where he will include a 1926 No.2 if your order is over $75. I...

    Is the only tatuaje with a black band in elusive tat black?

    Forgive my ignorance, I don't know tatuajes at all. I enjoyed a tat with a thin black band that ssutton219 sent me in a 'Pepin's for CCs' trade. It was a rough looking cigar that burned magnificently and reminded me of a CC more than many recent CCs have. It's hard to pin down the flavor, but...

    Is the 1926 #35 the best cigar under $10 in the world?

    Discuss. Seriously, this is a little powerhouse that represents a great 30 to 60 minute experience depending upon how fast you hit it. Perfect burn, perfect flavor, yada yada yada. MSRP is a fair price, but when you score a bunch with a 25% off taboo coupon I almost feel dirty. I've tried...

    Any BOTLs in northern Germany?

    I'll be going there next week to drive the Nurburgring. It's a lifelong dream, and since my life's half over I'd better get to it (just turned 40). Specifically the days I'll be there are June 13 to 16. I'd love to meet up somewhere in Nurburg, preferable close to the track. Does anybody...

    Is the CI free shipping code still active?

    I looked for the link in the 'profit' forum but didn't see it. Isn't it active until 6/06?

    Vector table lighter...it's the real deal!

    I got this from cigarmonster a week ago for $19.95 shipped. It's the real deal...holds a ton of fuel and starts right up the first time every time. It looks like a simple pocket lighter, just about 3 times bigger. It's got the three torches...nice! This particular lighter is has a 'Perdomo'...

    I need a DIY shelving solution for a 120qt cooler.

    I have 15 cigar boxes and numerous bundles laying in a cooler with bags of beads and a fan. I need a shelving solution but nothing jumps out. I'd love to get something like 3 metal or plastic stackable shelves that I can just lift out to get at what I want. Can you share some pics of well...

    Where can I get a box of Padron Serie 1926?

    I bought a few and just had my first one after my son's team made it to the LLWS (not the televised one, a local one). I absolutely loved it...I never thought I would say this about a cigar but it was simply beautiful. Anyway, I figure if they age well I'd like to buy a box or 3. I know...

    Opinions on AF Cuban Belicoso.

    I picked up this cigar after my B&M guy said it's just as good as an Opus X. He said it's the same wrapper and binder. Even though he's been wrong before, I picked up a few because they look tasty and they are Fuente so you know the quality is there. Any opinions on this cigar?

    Which cigars are even more mild than a Macanudo?

    It's a gift my father-in-law, he likes a very mild cigar in a robusto size. I've heard of 'Occidental' or something like that...I think he likes these. It's got to be a box of 20 or 25 so that rules out good mild smokes like taboo or the CFO which are bundles. CCs are okay as a recommendation...

    Any newbie samplers with a humidor deals out there?

    A buddy wants to get into cigars more but needs a humidor. I can't spare any of mine right now. Does CI or anybody else have a deal right now?

    Unheard of customer service from Rob at Taboo.

    Rob knows I like Oliva Serie Vs so he saves me a box of double robustos. He offers me first crack at them before putting 'em on the website. Of course I jumped...a hard to find cigar with a 20% off coupon. Who wouldn't jump. I also get a 5er of Padron 3000 Maduros. Rob kicks in the free...

    Pepin 601 sampler at CB $42...hit or skip?

    I'm new to Pepins, the only one I've had is the JJ and I've enjoyed it quite a bit. Should I try the 601?

    A few newb questions...

    I'm not new to cigars but I'm new here. What is 'purging'? How do you do it and why would you do it? What is 'snorking'? I think it's exhaling from your nose. How do you do it and why would you do it? What is 'dry boxing'? Why would you do it? Thanks!
