    Favorites, habits, ruts and circumstances.

    Cigar smoking like anything in our lives can become "part of the tapestry". Meaning we smoke as part of our "other activities" without sometimes stepping back to examine the conscious or unconscious actions we take in cigar choices. I remember having "favorites" that I pretty much smoked all...

    Exhaust Fans

    These are the best accessory any indoor smoker can buy. Ozone generators, Hepa filters, Ionic breezes, etc are nice little add on's for freshening up, but there is no substitute for eliminating the smoke from your environment before the particulate can settle or stir around. Exhaust fans are...

    The best smell!

    Just did the monthly check on the cooler under my desk. 60% on the nose. Beads are still perfect, coolers are so low maint. This one has a small door on the top so you don't lose much ambient RH pulling the hygo and beads out for a quick check. I know of no better smell (for a cigar smoker)...

    Cabaiguan Petites

    Since Fred thought one of this line tasted like an aged Cuban Davidoff... it was time to try some for me. :D 50 Cab of these 4 1/2 x 32 lil guys came yesterday. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.. the Cubans in Cuba should be blushing regarding the packaging, box codes, warranty...

    Ambient humidity and seasonal behavior changes

    This topic may not apply to everyone here. If you keep your cigars in coolers you are pretty much immune to the 20-40% drop in humidity in areas of the country where we need to heat. I experience a dramatic change this time of year in maintenance issues related to humidification. All summer...

    New Nicaraguan 3000 "Varnished" From Famous

    Famous must be trying to emulate the Cubans with these coming out with a "varnished" version. Check out the pic in the new catalog. I'm no expert but, I think It's the box that is supposed to be varnished. Looks like they soaked them in cooking oil. :r

    So I'm sitting in my office... Smoking... :D

    Had the HVAC guys move the fan I got for Sam for Christmas that didn't fit in his smoke room, that he had installed in our computer room that didn't help it stay any cooler, into my office and vent it outside last week. Put a damper on the return to the rest of the office that closes when the...

    So you only have 90 days to live...

    The doctor's tell you you have drop dead disease. 90 days from now you just... drop dead. No cure. You will feel great until... you drop. Assume you will have many things you will have on your list to do in the short period but let's just stick with cigars. What are you going to smoke, how...

    Disaster

    Over the past couple of weeks have made some private purchases. They accumulated and finally were due to arrive today. I was pretty freaking excited as these were the Crème de la Poo kind of cigars. Got a call from the mail-room that a package had arrived. Headed over trying not to walk too...

    The three C's.

    Having choices in what to smoke is the great leveling field for all smokers. Whether you have a second home humidor or a 25 count desktop, we all have to confront that "moment" when it's time to grab one and treat it like a witch in Salem. (Cut it's head off and burn it) So which one? Do you...
