    Ever Smoke With A Celebrity?

    Ron Jeremy came into the cigar bar I was at one night, does that count? :w

    Opus Heaven

    Nice place, went there during my bachelor party but the prices will make you puke. :pu Most of the cigars there are easily 3 to 4 times over MSRP. If I remember, the Opus A's were $75ea. I got a couple of the house cigars there and the corona gorda, which was the cheapest, was $18. Still it is...

    WTG: Want to give away some cigars

    Went through my humidor last night and I found a bunch of old Macanudo Golds that I'd like to get rid of. My wife says she hates the smell of them and me, not sure why I bought them in the first place. They have probably about 2 years worth of age of them and they aren't bad cigars just not my...

    Casa Fuente

    Going there in September for my bachelor party, closer to that time I'll post and ask if anyone wants me to pick them up a couple though I have to agree that prices are "OUCH!" I read that an AF13 is $125! Someone gave me some good advice when it came to Vegas and cigars, "BRING YOUR OWN...

    Macanudo Vintage

    I used to work part time in a cigar shop during college and I was lucky enough to have a manager that let us sample stuff so we knew what we were talking about to customers. I smoked a '79, '88, and '93's before and I have to say they are good cigars but kind of overpriced. The store eventually...

    Can you nuke cigars?

    I read this on some other cigar board about this "supposed" method of irradicating cigar beetles. Let me tell you definitively this is a HORRIBLE idea! One day out of pure curiousity I decided to give it a whirl. Now remember what a microwave does is speed up the water molecules to heat things...

    Anyone smoked a Padron 40th Aniversary?

    I have smoke the maduro and it is basically the same blend as the 1926's, imagine a 1964 with some more umph. It is very full-bodied and great flavor but it packs a punch especially this size because it is by far the largest vitola in the line. Most places sell it now for $25 a stick, the $40...

    Need help - Box of Anejo 55s

    Are we sure these are 55's, the torpedos, because $7.50 is below MSRP and I have never seen a retailer sell Fuente ware BELOW MSRP. Maybe they didn't know what they had?!

    Partagas Limited Reserve

    It is a good cigar but I am not sure it is worth the price. Just buy a couple of sticks of the regular line and set them aside for like 5 years and presto! Partagas Limited Reserves or set them aside for 20+ and whammo, Partagas 150's. ;)

    Opus Forbidden X

    I got the 2nd set that came out with the pigtail Opus in the glass tubes. I have no idea what Fuente is trying to do with these sets because the one you are referring to is now the THIRD one of this series. This one is the so-called "Platinum" edition. I don't think the cigars are any different...

    Opus X ...Buzz...

    I like something clean like vodka but that is just me. Don't smoke it on an empty stomach though, it'll do a number on you. :pu

    AF 858 Sun Grown....Hype or Reality???

    I agree with your assessment that it is a well made cigar but often commands a price much higher than its actual worth or value. I got some when they first came around in 99-00? for about $5 a stick, now, who knows what they go for?! I think it is the rarity that is driving the price but it is...

    Friday nights posts.

    Probably gonna take a Opus X Perfexion no. 2 and a well-aged Don Carlos no. 2 and just in case a Padron 1926 #9 (depending on how good of a time me and the guys are having) with me to the Mens Club :al It has been a LOOONG month and I need to unwind.

    Cigar Magazine and JR Cigars

    I got the magazine a couple weeks ago and was really disappointed. Now don't get me wrong, Cigar Aficionado has been consistantly going down hill since it basically became Aficionado sans Cigar. But at very least I can't complain too much about the production values. The layout and format of the...

    Most Consistent Premium Brands

    Your choices are very good cigars though a wee bit on the expensive side. Bad news in regards to the Cohibas though I think it is the end of the DR version. I really liked the XTRA VIGOROSOS but the regular line left me a bit wanting for the price. $20 for a cameroon pyramid is a little bit too...

    Please note that these are strictly the opinion of the author and do not reflect the opinions of the board and by no means am I an expert. -How dry is too dry? Anything below 60% RH After recieving a "starter package" from an overly generous BOTL, I really feel the need to dive right in. I...

    Your favorite Cigar/Drink Pairing

    A warm glass of milk and a fine havana, nothing is better. :pu On a serious note, probably a rum and coke or a vodka and tonic.
