    Rebuilding an Ice box into a humidor

    I've seen a few of the conversions and my only concern is lining the unit. The ice box I'm looking at is in great shape, but I will need to rebuild the guts and am wondering if a wood, other than spanish cedar, can be used as a lining. The ice box is expensive and don't know if I want to...

    Taboo Boot Camp

    Pre-smoke Scent and look of wrapper: Beautiful, oily maduro wrapper with a spicy scent. Scent at Foot: Pepper, leather, and woodsy smell. Wrapper: Amazing wrapper with a lot of oils and only one noticeable vein running the length of it. Feel: A little spongy/soft, but I gave this smoke about...

    Best cigar ever

    As most know, we had tornados come through this area on Monday and a few houses were lost and many more were damaged. I got a call on Tuesday from a friend saying his buddy had roof damage on his garage and asked if I could help fix the damage on Saturday, today. I said sure. Insurance had...

    Taste and aroma v. lingering stench

    Last night I was in the garage absolutely loving a Oliva V double robusto. What an amazing smoke. Amazing flavors, great aroma, perfect construction. I went out this morning to let the dogs out, and the lingering stench in the garage was horrible. I had to use a bunch of Lysol to get the...

    Tornados suck

    Long story short, I came home from work to find a box on my porch and a smile on my face. I grabbed my 5 month old in his baby seat out of the back seat, his diaper bag, my briefcase, and grabbed the box from Taboo Cigars off the porch. Just then, I was hit with 60+ mph winds and the tornado...

    What did you learn in 2007?

    I started the year with many hobbies and collections and ended the year retired from paintball and stopped chasing the amateur golfing dreams. I did start to learn a lot more about cigars and my collection has grown by leaps and bounds. What I learned: Gifted cigars usually taste better...

    Have a safe and Merry

    As some of you all know, tonight is very special to me. I am about to head out to three different children's hospitals in the area. I said ealier on here that I may share my story and I will, now. When I was 12, I was stuck in the hospital for Christmas Eve. There was a guy who delivered...

    Are you trendy??

    How much do trendy smokes influence your purchases? Do you buy one X or Anejo when you'd just as easily enjoy 5 Edges or 5 of some other less expensive, less "uber-premium" smoke? I left early from work and went over to a nice bar to enjoy a Tat and there was a moron choking down an X...

    Sherpa by K. Hansotia

    I've tried two of these sticks and both have been great. Prelight observances: nice tight, consistant fill with no hard or soft spots. The color is amazing and the cap withstood the cut very well and there was no ill affects from the cut. Pre-light draw was perfect and the flavors were...

    Buying habits in the winter

    For most people above the Mason-Dixon line, winter is quickly approaching which means enjoying stogies outside is somewhat limited. My question is if peoples' buying changes when smoking decreases. :ss I don't care what the temps are, I'm gonna enjoy my nightly stogie with my dogs and...

    Flor de Oliva Robusto Maduro review

    This stick has been and will remain my go-to smoke as a knock around cigar while working in the garage/yard or just plain relaxing with an inexpensive stogie. I drove to the water's edge of Lake Michigan this morning on my way into work and torched one. It was a great way to start the day...

    Ways around anti-smoking laws

    I know there has to be ways around the laws, but can't find anything so if someone knows, please share. A friend's neighbor owns a bar in Illinois that he made a "club" and that people had to become members for $.50 and sign-up on a membership list. He's hoping to be able to offer a place to...

    Better to ask forgiveness...

    than permission :ss I need some excuses, ridiculous or not, as to why I spent wayy too much money on two different orders. She okay'd yesterdays ten cigars, but I ordered 2 boxes and 3 mazos of 10. Then, today, I had a brain-fart and ordered another box and sampler. I don't know how to...

    What is a mazo??

    Title says it all. I'm assuming they're cigars not in boxes but in cellophane, but I've been wrong before. Thanks
