Oh yea....I use a czech tool, which is all metal, it's actually a pipe tool, for nubbing....and well... turned it a certain way...the rod was hot...and my upper lip has a nice straight burn in it now. Pretty much ended my want to nub that sucker... Be careful if you use something similar.

Anyone know a good resource for NC box codes? I have a box of Hoyo Epicure's with a code of 2HCA and was hoping to find what year they're from. on the back it says 25 cigars hand made in spanish honduras by honduras american tabaco, s.a. (stamped) 2HCA

I recently bought a few Taboo Twists, and have had one before these and have always noticed they seemed pretty darn dense...and heavy. I was hoping to get some feedback on why this is and what is the purpose of it, if they are stuffed with more tabacci than other cigars. Maybe that's why I...

I was graciously given a PAM 64, not sure what size and junk, but after talking to people...I'm not saving it, BURN BABY BURN!!!! Has a nice dark brown color, almost velvety texture, with a rich tobacco smell. It cut well, lit easily, and smells good. It's a almost a medium smoke but not...

So was in chat a few weeks ago and heard Don talking about some huge cigar...when I read about it, I had to try it....he ranks this as being terrible like the gorilla finger...another which I'll try some day.... but here is the El Monstruo! I will give this baby 6-12 months time in the...

I received a Torano in a trade and didn't know much about it, other than it was a Virtuoso...which meant nothing to me. I took it to work and first thing I noticed was the dark oily wrapper...smelled and looked wonderful. So after a great dinner and spending time with a friend I don't see...

He's been battling cancer in his chest, and just when he got over that they find a tumor in his head that ended up putting too much pressure on part of his brain that controls the vital organs, and so last night after about a day of being in a coma he passed. It's sad because he was such a...

So I was honored to be gifted a few cigars, and unfortunately the box was damaged in shipping which resulted in 4 cigars being cracked. One of them has two cracks on slight angles around the cigar and then one going the length, throug they are roughtly 1/2 way through it, two are cracked on the...

So I had this single torch Colibri lighter, loved it.....was sitting on a cyber herf yesterday, figure I'll touch up my stick......and the flip up cap comes off.....and it won't go back on...I'm like WTF!!!! So I get it to kinda go back on but it's totally wrecked...I could try to bend thing...

There are so many posts about cbid, and I laugh every time I read them.... yesterday I really wanted some RP Sun Grown Toro's...... found a decent price, go...oh what the heck why not create an account and bid, I probably won't win them, just like my other auctions I had watched in the past. So...

Tonight I had to go through something insanely hard that I never thought I would, and never would wish upon anyone. I was in chat, didn't have anyone else to talk to but my brothers here, they gave me some kind words, encouragement and helped me at least not lose it, and I from the bottom of my...

Yea... I don't know what it's called, but I got a humidor with a crappy one that I could never set, it was gold colored, circular with a spring inside... that thing that tells you how wet your cigars should be.... So while taking advice from other members, I bought a new cutter and saw a...

So I'm going to a cigar event tomorrow...actually two... and I picked up some cigars I tried that were relatively cheap, though had a decent mild smoke to them. I want to bring some stuff to pass around to people I meet, and really don't know what's good and what sucks..... Is it bad to give...

Well after meeting some really cool people in my last thread and getting some great feedback, I've decided to keep a journal or log of sorts, with the cigars I smoke, so as I look back I can remember what and why I liked certain ones. This started with a Don Tomas, which I'll only repost to...

So in my endeavors to try different cigars that I may or may not like, I picked up a Don Tomas Sun Grown, think it was about 5-6 inches long, light/medium brown wrapper color... Can't tell you what it was name wise or wrapper wise other than that atm. It was pretty good! I wanted to get out...

First off let me say, I know next to nothing about any of this stuff. I got a small humidor, picked up a cutter and lighter the guy at the shop showed me, and these little clear tubes with jelly crystal things in them. Believe they're called drymistat. They look like this: I've been...
