Tonights review corner features a special guest. You may remember the post by kylej1 for Warped Cigars where he asked for volunteers to review one of his cigars. I was one of the lucky ones, and I mean lucky. Here are the particulars: Anubis Corona Gorda Habano 46x5 5/8 Looks a little...

The Taboo Limited Reserve trilogy is complete for me, at least for the robustos. On with the review. Taboo LR Maduro Robusto 5x50 W: Dom F: Dom Here it is waiting for death. This is a great looking cigar. Nice dark, brown wrapper with some veins. there is a small bump on the cap, but it...

Thanks for all the comments on Review Corner Edition #1. I learned a few things, smaller pictures and smaller thread title! Today's victim is the Taboo Limited Reserve Havana Robusto. Here we are waiting for the sweet flames of death. This another fine looking cigar from Taboo. Great...

While doing my CAO contest, I realized I had only posted 12 reviews during my time here and none in the last 7 or 8 months. So i decided to really do it up good and start a little thing I like to call, "IllinoisHoosier's Review Corner" where I will post my reviews with pics. Tonights first...

You just can't have too many lighters. I bought this one here. https://www.tobacco-barn.com/p-8070-piezo-gas-torch.aspx Although what I selected was a Reindeer table torch, I got this, which is similiar and I paid $5 less for it.:D It's a torch lighter.. and a soft flame lighter...

Anyone seen these or had one? http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewcigar.asp?brand=589 They look...interesting. All are on order though.

No, that's not what the ex-wife said. As you can see for yourself, the new cooler is filling up quickly, so I got a new overflow humi as well. cooler, a work in progress.. and my first 5 box purchases in their new home. CI Legends Yellow, 5 Vegas A Archetype, Partagas Black and Punch...

Been having this problem since pretty much day one. I have a few of the "brand" humis from CI and I have had no luck keeping the humidifying puck attached to the top. The velcro pads won;t stick, crazy glue didn't work and double sided tape work for a while. any suggestions?

Decided I wanted to live life on "The Edge" tonight. I had smoked a samller version of this cigar as my second cigar ever, and it laid me out. I thought I had learned enough here over the last 5 months, that I could handle this big 6 x 60 Edge with no problem....I was right!:ss Here is the...

Got two of these gifted to me by Rehbas21 as a return for a CAO America (I think I ended up with the better sticks:D) This is a gorgeous looking stick. Nice tan wrapper and a sweet pre lit aroma. Felt good in my hand,nice big cigar. after I lit, i noticed it had a small split at the...

everybody talks about the Famous Nic 3000, I though I'd be different and review it's brother the 2000. Pre lit aroma was a good spicy tobacco smell. The stick looks fantastic, nice brown wrapper with very few veins that I could see. Felt firm. Lit easy and gave off a nice woodsy aroma...

Been staring at this stick for a little over three months now and it was time to put it to death. Nice looking stick. Wrapper was in great shape and no blemishes. Pre lit aroma was a good tobacco smell, with a hint of wood(cedar?) Lit it up and had no issues with the burn. It did want to...

Not sure where I picked this little stick up. Not normally a size I'd smoke, but didn;t want to be up too late tonight, so after the Cusano 18 paired maduro (review coming) thought I'd go with something that would smoke a little quicker. Wish I had my camera to take pics, but no luck. First...

Finished off a good three cigar day with this little beaut. It has been staring at me in my humi since I moved into rotation away from its brothers in the cooler. This stick looks tasty, dark oily wrapper and great spicy chocolate aroma pre lite. Once lit, it gave off a nice spicy leather...

Sorry guys no pics tonight. This little cigar is a fooler. Looking at it, you would think it was a very mild stick, but you're in for a pleasant surprise. Had a nice spicy smell pre lit, and when it fired up, it gave off a nice spicy tobacco aroma. Burned near perfect, loose draw, but not a...

Decided to end my day with this beauty. They have started to creep their way into my top 10. After the GOF, I wanted a smoke that would get me. It looks so sad knowing it's about to die... This is a nice burn to start with. great flavor, spicy espresso. Not so much peppery spice as it just...

Today is my birthday and it will be a rollercoaster day. First off, an emlpoyment presentation to students this morning. Then a funeral for an employee who passed away last week and then follow that up with another employee's wedding. whew! I'm going to need a good smoke tonight and I'll let...
