I went to a Labor Day picnic with my wife's family on Sunday afternoon. One of her uncles (he's a semi-successful person, but still a redneck at heart) tries to push his $1.50 cigar on me. I thought ahead and brought a bunch of cigars for all the men, in case anyone wanted to smoke with me...

My wife and I were in ATL for a few days, and I walked down to the Buckhead Cigar Club. It was one of the worst places i've ever gone to smoke. First, I go into the humidor and absolutely everything is covered in mold. I was shocked (since Buckhead is known for being the "nice" part of...

My birthday is next month. My wife has agreed to support my habit. She says she'll buy me a new torch lighter (DuPont or Bugatti) or a Vinotemp. I don't have a good lighter right now. I lost my last DuPont torch and i've been using a piece of shit Tiger for the last couple of months. If I...

I know this is discussed a LOT in passing. However, I need a solid answer. My 100 count humidor is very steady 65% but the damn temp is like 74 degrees. I'm not going to develop mold anytime soon am I? My understanding is that over time, yes, it's "possible," but I smoke several cigars per...

One of my favorite cigars is the LFD Ligero Maduro. I honestly think that it's because of the relaxation I get from the high nicotine content. My question is: Does anyone enjoy a smoke more based on the calming effect of nicotine or do you purely smoke because of the inherent flavor...

I bought this lighter (http://www.magic25filter.com/tiger_laser_flame_butane_refillable_lighter_9912cp.html) It's a piece of crap. Don't buy a Tiger lighter. I'm a man of few words, otherwise I would elaborate, but nobody wants to read more than the title anyway. :cb

How do you pronounce this word? My friend and I had an argument over how you pronounce it. Is it: PAR-TAY-GUS or PAR-TUH-GUS

This may be the wrong place to ask this question, but when "spice" is described in a cigar's flavor does that refer to literal spiciness or does it refer to the amount of nicotine in the cigar? I know in bourbons, spiciness refers to the amount of alcohol, is it the same for cigars?

I found this on the internet, and for $7.99 it looks a lot better than some of the others i've seen. Does anyone actually use this, and would you recommend that I purchase it? http://www.stogiefresh.com/stogie_rate.htm

I keep my desktop at 68% all the time, however, I just added about 40 cigars to it (max 75) and the humidity dropped to lower than 60 on Monday. It will be this weekend before I can get another humistat gel thing from my local B&M, are my cigars suffering from being under humidified for 1 week?

Is this worth the money? This is the first time i've bought something on cbid. http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=525114 Hope the link works for everyone. I spent $46

I've got it seasoned already for him, I bought a marble ashtray that will fit inside the box, got a cutter, matches, lighter, hygrometer, humidification device, etc. I've got pretty much everything that'll be wrapped inside this thing. What I need is about $40 worth of cigars to put inside...

My wife is opposed to me smoking in the garage because she thinks the smoke will inevitably get into the house. It's too cold to sit outside and actually enjoy a cigar this time of year, but in my garage i've got a nice little heater, a stereo, and a TV (with cable). It's sufficiently warm...

My dad smokes a lot of cigars. I'm a novice of about 2-3 years. He still cuts his cigars with crappy cutters because he's old school and doesn't want to spend the cash for a quality cutter. I want to get him a good cutter for Christmas, which brand should I get him? Xikar or Palio? Price is...
