So I've noticed something weird for many (perhaps most) of my sticks recently. After I cut the cap with my trust Xicar, I find that the cap end of the wrapper likes to peel. No crack or problems noted before the cut. This is happening on sticks regardless of RG or location of origin, so I...

I just got home from the SoCal herf; took an extra week to visit relatives in the area. 12 days total away from home. Got many wonderful sticks at the herf, but the conditions where I was staying and en route home were not ideal, so they are resting in a vinotemp for now. But I wanted a...

I just moved all my singles out of my spanish cedar trays and into old boxes as they fit into my vinotemp better. As a result, I have 5 spanish cedar trays available. I'm off on Tuesday for SoCal and can deliver them there. Otherwise, when I get back I'll offer them up for some kind of trade...

I'm one of those people who have year-round allergies, both indoor and outdoor. Most of the year I am fine with my zyrtec (hope I spelled that right, I take the Walgreen's generic version). However, from about mid-May through the end of June, my sense of taste goes south. For example, a...

I'm taking the plunge and picking up a vinotemp (28 bottle) from Target, probably tonight, perhaps tomorrow. Since my house faces due south, even with my coolers in a back room that never gets direct sunlight, the coolers are now at 69 degrees and it has only gotten to 72 degrees here so far...

I gotta say that, for me, the best part of owning cigars is giving them to appreciative BOTLs and SOTLs. I've heard some pretty amazing oohs and ahhs over time and chuckle with the memories. Of course, having Joey say "that cigar kicked my ash" over and over isn't a bad memory either. So...

Last October, my Mom was diagnosed with Celiac Spru (I'm also a celiac). She had lost 30 lbs due to the unfortunate side effects of having celiac and not knowing it before she was diagnosed. While she strictly follows the dietary restrictions, she has continued to have very bad problems...

We will have a 3 hour layover in LA on Thursday. Does anyone know if there is a cigar bar at LAX?

Thank you, Anita and PDS My aunt was diagnosed with a melanoma of the eye this week and is undergoing testing at UCLA as I write this to determine if she gets to keep the eye. Thoughts and prayers, please.

Two of my best motorcycling and herfing friends from Seattle are staying with me this weekend. We have a 25th wedding anniversary to attend Saturday night, but the afternoon is devoted to herfing. What to do when 3 herfing friends who go back 12+ years of crazy motorcycling adventures get...

I sent a query to the Savoy customer service people over a week ago, but until I hear from them, I'll ask here. The pin that aligns the key to the lock for my Savoy humidor broke off, making the lock very difficult to use. I have a 150 count cherry one from the Holts sale at Xmas. Does anyone...

I've decided that I want to clean out the coolerdor. Since I am looking to trade for a sampler, I've put the info here: http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=131173

So today was the perfect storm. USPS, DHL, and UPS all delivered. There is a wheel of hand rolled Perdoma double corona freshies, a box of Maria Guerrero 444s, a box of 5 Vegas double coronas, 10 Flor de Oliva Gigantes, a box of Tatuaje Regios, 5 Padron 1964 corona maduros, 5 Padron 1964...

If any of you are like me, you have a big coolidor but a small amount of gray matter. The result is that you can't exactly recall who sent/gave you what sticks. Also, if you are like me, you'd make a spreadsheet, but then you'd have to remember to use it (another gray matter problem). So this...

Paid my Q4 taxes and had some money left over. Rather than be responsible and bank it, I spent it on these: Padron Anniversary 1964 Corona - Pack of 5, Maduro Padron Anniversary 1964 Piramide - Pack of 5, Maduro Tatuaje Regios - Natural,Box of 25 Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story -...

and the hole in my wallet is so big. I just got in a cab of 50 Tatuaje Petites. Holts is having a sale where you get 3 Angeles and a Tat ashtray with any box purchase. The price on the Petites was the second best that I could find and clearly the best given the freebies. I'm considering...

I didn't take any pics, but probably should at some point. I was rearranging the sticks in the collidor because I finally located a battery operated oust fan and needed to make room for it. The task was surprisingly hard to do. I have just under 250 NC sticks that are in cello. I also have...

We've all done it. Gone for the killer deal or picked a marginal smoke when we had a cold, etc. I did it today with a Flor del Todo. You know, picked out a two puffer. A two puffer is a cigar that, for whatever reason, only lasted two puffs. By that time, you had more than enough of that...

Colin and I were trying to hook up in the NST to do a trade. I had sent him some sticks in the Newbie PIF earlier and he wanted a chance to get even :ss Anyway, that didn't happen, so we decided to just do a trade. Man, but Colin has good cigar tastes and he's willing to part with them during...

Y'all may recall that a while back BamaDoc77 had a good ol' bunch of ceegars for sale at a pretty darn good price. He was even sellin' some of them Opus Xers. Well, they disappeared from the sale list pretty fast because most appeared on my doorstep! And that bastage had the nerve to throw in...
