Not good, Maverick...this is NOT good... Scott"deathandtaxes"M

Found here. Free to all. Found it posted on a pipe BB. Enjoy.

Like to thank Paul for busting his ass getting us back up and running. Pity that some good info was lost, but everyone gets to go back home to their familes tonight. That's all. Carry on.

This might help some brothers out, so I tought I'd post it as an FYI. The short story; The Cigar Oasis is great for HUMIDIFYING a storage unit, but it may contribute to an over-humidified environment simply by being in the unit regardless of on/off status. Beads seem better for REGULATING the...

Unfortunately, my life is getting in the way of my life right now. This little soap opera has limited the amount of time I can have to sit back and really enjoy a churchill or a 60 ring guage figurado. What's a guy to do? So, need a quickie? Something that'll scratch the itch when time's at a...

The binder is set out. The filler is gathered up and bunched. The roller tries to get the same amount / consistancy along the length of the cigar, done mostly using the long leaves and by feel. More bits can be added to "less full" areas. From what the roller said, (I think his name was...

After a couple of months of sampling, a curbside consult with LasciviousXXX, (thanks, mate!), 10 seconds of debate with my conscience, and an abnormally long tranist time, the final score is; one trigger pulled, one X ring hit on a box of Octurbres: And it's new home: Pretty much made...

I found an interesting thread on CA, started by "Tony Maduro". After a great deal of effort, he created a list of "must try" cigars that pretty much everyone outta have at least once. Blatently plagerized from the thread found here. ACID Any cigar that is 20 years old Anything by Carlos...

How to set up a coolerdor: Step #1: get a cooler. Rinse the inside with a mild unscented dish soap and allow to dry/air out for several days. * Step #2: Decide on and acquire humidity source, (I chose a Cigar Oasis from Cheap Humidors since I'm gun-shy about passive humidifcation right...

Did a salt test on one of my digital hygrometers yesterday. Getting readings like 67%. Wet salt, but not enough to turn it into sloution. Just wet, like beach sand. I plan on retesting later this week, but is it possible to perform this incorrectly, and what happens? (I outta be able to...

Since PDS was nice enough to start this forum for those general cigar related questions that pop up, (or keep popping up), I thought I'd throw in a few links that address the questions I had (and have). One of, if not THE, best source of info about cigars and cigar smoking, Top 25 Cigar (Gotta...

Not much about these... more info here. First, the high points. It had a good to very good maduro flavor with a very pleasent aroma. Lit easily, very good (albeit sporadic) smoke volume and a mild aftertaste. Produced an ash of close to 2". Cheap, at ~$55 a box. The low points. Madre de...

Might be a useless bit of (long winded) rambling, but I've noticed some parrallels between Zen/Buddhist/Hindu meditation and cigar smoking. I used to be quite heavily into Zen and the martial arts...read a bunch of Suzuki and the like, thought "Kung Fu" was a really cool TV show, tried...

Not much said about this one, except being mentioned in a previous thread. Dominican Republic, 6X45 Lonsdale, natural wrapper, cedar sleaved. Had this in the humidor for about a month, plus however long it was held by the BOTL that gifted it to me. Good looking wrapper, lit easily, nice...

Looking forward to the Virginia herf in a couple of months, (NOT VIRGIN herf... that oughtta be the motto). My first one, so I'm kinda in the dark. Besides congeniality and general bon homme', are there any do's and don'ts for these? Bring your own/buy them there, pitch in for food/drinks...

Name the actress that has been a Bond Girl twice. Montecristo sent me two Platinum calenders. First response gets it, (not that ya' can't get one anyway). Scott"nobodydoesitbetter"M

First things first; which Padron is this: 5", box pressed, natural wrapper, (how do you tell the ring size on a box pressed cigar?). I'm thinking a 2000. Picked it up in an auction with a travel humi. There wasn't any description. At any rate, I can't review this cigar without sounding like...

Some more questions, some masked as play-alongs: -Donald Trump has asked you to fill a 100ct humidor for his office, (wifey kicks his butt if he lights up at home). Since Donny wants the best of everything, he asks you to stock his box with quintessential must have cigars for himself and his...

My first attempt at a review... no feces throwing! I have only a few sticks under my belt but this was probably the first one I can really make any comments about. I'm going to try hard not to use any food flavor references when I can. A little background, first: This sample came from it's...

So I've done the searches, read the threads, still have some questions; -How dry is too dry? After recieving a "starter package" from an overly generous BOTL, I really feel the need to dive right in. I recently burned a Mac that, in retrospect, was probably pretty dry (like it's sister in the...
