    Favorite Palatte Cleansers

    Everybody seems to have their favorite palette cleaners. Really discovered the benefits of resetting my palette while at SHII. With so many top notch cigars being smoked, it helped me to avoid tongue burnout. I can highly recommend orange sherbet as an effective palatte cleanser. I think its...

    Found A New Breakfast Cigar

    Okay, so probably my favorite time to smoke cigars is in the morning with or after breakfast. There is just something about the stillness and new-day feeling of mornings, plus the flowing coffee, that cause me to really enjoy cigars. I have had two Bahiba Pyramids tucked away in my humidor for...

    Ashton - Cabinet Selection - Tres Petit

    Ashton - Virgin Sun Grown - Tres Mystique Had my first Cabinet Selection today. It was the Tres Petit (4.38 X 42). Man, what a fantastic short smoke! The prelight aroma was a positive indicator of what was to come. Perfect firmness and wrapper construction. I lit the little guy up and was...

    Aging Potential?

    Those of you who have had the opportunity to try a Bucanero Salsa should know what I'm talking about. One of the tastiest and exciting NCs around in my opinion. Anyway, I've been dabbling with the idea of buying a box of Buc Salsas and letting them sleep for a few years. Nothing extremely...

    J.R Cigar Slips Further

    Anyone get a chance to peruse the new JR Cigar cat? The first four pages are dedicated to AyC Grenadier and Garcia y Vega. I think Lew Rothman has officially became the patron saint of drugstore machine mades. :r Other highlights: The new Oliva cigar celebrating the 100th Anniversary of...

    Holt's Cigar Catalog

    Anyone get the new Holt's Catalog? Its the winter edition. Seems they changed the format a little. Now, its printed in landscape orientation instead of portrait and the pages seem thinner. Cost cutting! :rolleyes: I prefer the old style. How about you?

    Gone From CBid?

    Can it be that CigarBid's supply of Profesor Sila has dried up? Went online to bid and came up empty handed! Anyone know where to find the Profesor now?

    Oak Ashtray Stand

    Been looking around for a nice pedestal ashtray. My Grandfather had a nice metal one, but it went missing after he passed away a few years ago. This one looks pretty good, but I would imagine the shipping to be high. Anyone else have/use a pedestal ashtray? VINTAGE OAK ASHTRAY STAND WITH...

    humiGAUGE™ "Perfecto" Hygrometer

    Finally upgraded my cigar setup with a digital hygrometer. Had my eye on the humiGauge for some time and ended up getting it for Christmas. The hygrometer is the perfect shape and size for a 75 count humidor. It rests amongst all the precious sleeping beauties virtually unnoticed. Taking up...

    Lunch With Maria

    No, I'm not seeing another woman on the sly... :cool: Came back home after finishing my final exam today. Wanted to relax a little so I poured myself a cup of coffee and fished out a Maria Guerrero No. 444 that I've had resting in my humidor since May. What a nice little 60 minute smoke...

    The Havana Cigar Cutter

    In light of the recent thread about these being discontinued, I wanted to review this top performer. I was lucky to be gifted one by Klugs, but was reluctant to try it for a while because I thought how could a single blade cutter be better than my double bladed guillotine. Finally, I gave it a...

    Craziness?

    Browsing through the five-packs on CBid this evening. One auction is for Arturo Fuente Añejo Reserva #77 Shark. I couldn't believe what it's going for: $122!!! That comes to $24.40 per stick. The MSRP on those damn things is only $10/stick. Now am I the only one who thinks that price is...

    Home Schooling?

    I've heard of doctors making house calls, but have you ever heard of teachers doing that? It's true. The Profesor came right to my house this morning to give some lessons. I heard a knock and opened the door (to my humidor). Out popped Profesor Sila all ready for class. Before I knew what...

    No Preconceptions

    While studying for tomorrows Forest Ecosystems exam, I decided to review one of the cigars sent by pds for Top25Cigars. I was really looking forward to sampling it because I didn't know anything about the cigar or the brand. It could be marketed as a $6 or $1.75 stick for all I know. Ever...

    A Diamond In The Rough

    On any given day I dislike flavored cigars. Especially Acid or any of the Drew Estate products. However, today I decided to burn a Natural by Drew Estate cigar called Root. It was a gift from someone and has been sitting in my humidor for months waiting for a chance like this. I expected to...
