    Ramon Allones Reserve?

    Anyone have any opinnions on this cigar? I just recieved a box of the corona minor...apparently a CBID that I completely forgot about...:r I looked on the Top 25 but there is only one review and it is not very good (4.83). Either way I will smoke one for myself after letting them sit for a...

    Gurkha Royal Reserve

    Had one of these tonight that was gifted to me. This is a absolute perfect example of how cost does NOT dictate whether a cigar is any good or not. I am not exagerrating when I say this cigar actually made me physically ill. I was driving and I actually had to pull over because I thought I was...

    Best way to lower humidity?

    What is the best way to get over humidified cigars back to normal? A couple three weeks ago I had a issue with water in my basement (where I keep my smokes) and they became quite spongy. I took them to dry ground and have been trying to bring them back slowly. All I have been doing so far is...

    God must be a BOTL!!!

    Well finally here in Iowa we have had a day of pretty warm weather and I am actually off at the same time. So what would any self respecting BOTL do? Grab a beverage of choice and a nice cigar and head outside of course! It was a bit overcast but the weather report said no rain until late...

    Aging NC's?

    Well I recently had a 1998 Partagas Charlotte courtesy of the Admiral and of course after that kick down yet another slope (aged cigars) I had a question. I have seen it talked about every now and then but what is the majority's opinion on aging NC's. Does it make them better or not? I realize...

    Bump Yayson's RG...

    I recently held a contest in which a Mr Yayson was one of the winners. He informed me that he had cheated by knowing my real name and that I should give his winnings to someone else. How he was able to guess where I was born by knowing my name I have no idea and it makes me think he is just...

    I thought I had more...

    I was going through and adding my cigars into the Cigar briefcase program and although it took me a little while it is certainly eye opening. I could have sworn I had more than the program shows. It says I have a total of 219 smokes...I would have bet money on having more than that....:confused...

    Dumb question...

    After reading a thread about not remembering who gifted you what or just realizing everything you have collected I was going through and entering everything I had into the Cigar Briefcase program that a fellow BOTL had suggested (excellent program by the way!). Now for the dumb question...I have...

    My first Opus X

    Smoked my first Opus X last night. It was the small XXX one and I don't know if this is normal or not but either I got a dud or this was just plain and simple a cigar that just does not suit me. It had burn issues, keeping it lit was a pain in the a$$ and to top it off it just plain and simple...

    Another dumb newb question

    My favorite size for a cigar is robusto and since I buy a lot of my cigars online and mainly cigar joe or monster deal of the day I was just wondering something. Will it damage a cigar at all to cut a length of the foot off making it shorter? The reason behind this question is because I have...

    Do you re-light?

    Just wondering how many people will let a cigar go out and re-light it at a later time. I am not talking about within a couple of minutes but rather when you run out of time and it may be a couple of hours or more before you get to finish it. I have done this a couple of times and never with a...

    Anyone try the 3x3?

    Just wondering how popular this cigar is here. I have had a couple that I really enjoyed especially for the price and bought a bundle of nine at the local B&M for $25 today. I haven't seen this one talked about much and was curious what others opinions are on them.:ss

    Maybe the wife understands now.

    Had a pretty good night last night. I was sitting outside smoking a 5 Vegas Gold Torpedo when the wife comes out and sits with me. We talked about the kids, her job, my job and how much better our life together has become from the time we were first married 9 1/2 years ago. It was just an all...

    Is this a good deal?

    Is this a good a deal as it looks? I have never had one of these (what a shock...lol) and was just wondering if anyone here has any experience with them. Seems like CI is just basically just giving these away for that price. http://www.cigarsinternational.com/html/spec_oneday.asp So whats...

    Dumb A$$ newb question about aging

    Alright this might really sound like a dumb a$$ question but here goes anyway. What makes aged cigars better? I mean I have seen the thread about trying to "speed" age a cigar but what exactly does this accomplish. Maybe I should put this in a bit of list... What exactly does aging a cigar do...

    Cigar smoking age?

    I was just really curious what age people were when they first really got into smoking cigars. I don't mean how old were you when you first smoked a cigar but rather when you decided this is a hobby you wanted to get serious about. Seems odd to me that I never thought that much about smoking...
