As a newbie, I have liked all of the 5 Vegas line from Cigars International. Also Flor de Oliva, CAO Gold, CAO Criollo. Start with the Connecticut shade wrappers for their mild creamy taste. Also, always sip something sweet while smoking (coffee latte, Dr. Pepper, Iced Tea.) Smaller ring gauges...

Read my lips: "C - I - N - C - O . . . V - E - G - A - S" :cb

Clever. I want one of these! Any problem with the fork points fitting properly into your nostrils?? You need a warning label that states: " Do not use when drinking alcoholic beverages." :r

also try to slow down on how often you take a puff. I always smoke twice as fast as anybody else. I get that feeling often. Cain't help it, I'd eat 'em if I could! LOL.

Often my small gauge cigars have too tight of a draw. To remedy, I use an old fashion ice pick. It opens a path for the smoke and does not "damage" the cigar. I check the draw before lighting, and if too tight I gently and slowly push the ice pick all the way through the cigar from the clipped...

All good choices, but none compare to my favorite: BLOODY BEER (mix 3 parts beer with one part bloody mary mix) ... I always chug the first one. Almost as good with plain tomato juice, V8, or Clamato. Can also drink it Chilado style: with ice, lime, in a salt-rimmed glass!

:tpd: I have enjoyed every one of the 5 Vegas brands. All are well made, hold a good ash, deliver plenty of smoke, have a pleasant taste, and are consistent; in short, everything you look for in a premium smoke.

I have smoked several hundred cigars this year and have never tasted leather, dirt, coffee, chocolate, etc. But I can tell if its smooth & creamy, peppery, or harsh & bitter. I also know if I like it or not, so that's all I expect from my taste buds. BTW, I ALWAYS drink something while...

The Atomic is a limited release cigar, and occassionally appears only on the devil site in 10-pack offerings. Cigars International is the only source I know of. Go to their site and a box of Atisans is $69. Click here...

prices and choices at duty-free shops not that good I made the trip; carried my own stogies, and glad I did take my own. Cigar shops in Israel were few and far between, and inconvient to travel to in the short time I was there. Duty-free shops in Newark airport didn't offer many choices, and...

Has anybody thought of a good use for cigar bands? I love collecting my old bands after smoking the cigar. I like the different colors, engravings, shapes, artwork. When I started smoking cigars, I saved each in a log, with dates, notes about the cigar taste and experience, etc. After a few...

This is not a review of a single cigar. But I have tried several 5 Vegas blends, including the Red Label, Gold label, and the Series 'A'. Everyone has been very well made, great wrappers, perfect burns, no draw problems, lots of smoke, smooth taste. I'm a newbie to cigars-started last August and...

This Texan is going on vacation next week to Israel. :cb Do any of you traveling gorillas have any advice to offer pertaining to buying premium NC cigars in a duty-free shop or in a foreign country and bringing them back into the USA? Can a guy save a few bucks on a couple of boxes this way...

During the GB SEA Halftime I had a Camacho 1962 Perfecto. Great little smoke outside in the cold. What's everybody else smoking during the game? :cb

:tpd: same here! This is my EDS. :ss bought a box of 24 for just under one Ben Franklin at my local b&m

I tried a small tabletop propane patio heater-no good, had to stand right next to it. Get more than 3 feet away and could not feel any heat. Took it back. Then tried a salamander style forced air propane heater. Didn't like it. Then tried one of the simple reflector heaters that scew on the top...

When I bought a box of Tats Angeles recently, the first 3-4 out of the new box had a tight draw. I tried dry-boxing the next handful for a couple of days before smoking them. Seems to have improved the draw considerably. :cb

I also had a bad experience with a Cbid shipment via DHL a few weeks ago. The DHL tracking website showed the item was in the hands of the courier for 3 days before it was finally delivered. I sent a hot note to the president of DHL :fu, then contacted Cbid and asked them to change the method of...

:tpd: :tpd: I'm with Darell. This is my EDS and I compare everything else to these.

Got this great cigar from Heliofire in a Newbie Sampler Trade in Oct '07. :bl It looks like a freakin' barber's pole, from Gurkha. The Gurkha website shows the Genghis Khan at a whopping 7.5" X 53. I figured this would be good one to smoke on New Years Day. I was a bit intimidated by the size...
