Okey dokey, this one got a bit of a bad review over here so I thought someone had to step up and defend the intoxicating, sweat-inducing, scrotum-twisting power of the Mombacho Thermonuclear Triple Ligero!!! I first tried these back about a year or so ago, when Joe (Smitty) sent me some in a...

I don't know if these are just a byproduct of the Cigars International Hype Machine or what, but damnit if these are one of the most consistent and enjoyable maduros I've had the pleasure of smoking. I got these on a lark a few months ago (one of those "Mazo of 15 for $29.95" deals) after...

Oh, how the Robaina name has been sullied... I write this as a public service announcement, for, you see, I fell for the gimmick, folks. But I had good reason too; after all, these were ROBAINAS! They couldn't be all that bad, right? WRONG! I give you the A/R Robaina Familiares...an Ecuadorian...

Okay, it's been a long while since I've reviewed a cigar for the site as I don't really smoke anything all that interesting, and, when I do, it's usually been covered here in these fine pages. However, on a recent trek to the local tobacconist, the owner led me over to a collection of brand...

Okay, so I've become a cheap bastard! Actually, the only reason is that, with my house and the abundance of work I've been doing on the side, I've really not had time to keep up with the hobby. I also don't see much point in building a deck with a 12 dollar cigar in my mouth when a 2 dollar...

Un-freakin-real. I have been so overwhelmed by my own anxiety about trying to buy the house I've lived in for the past ten years that I've been something of a spaceshot when it comes to other things (like reading people's posts in full; see Klug's cigar cutter group by for evidence of that...

Hmmmm...in one of my increasingly rare trips to the local cigar shop, I came across a few boxes of Bolivars with brand-spankin' new labels as well as a wee sign that said "THE NEW BOLIVAR BLEND". The Toros were priced at about six bucks a pop, so I grabbed a few (along with some other sticks)...

After a few days worth of smoking ISOMs, I decided it would be a good idea to chill out on consuming my top shelf stuff, and opted for a cigar that had been sitting in my humidor for nearly four months. I've smoked a few Perdomos, and found them to be a pretty decent smoke, but I was not...

Has anyone ever attempted this?? I was looking at the cost of Spanish cedar, and it's very affordable, and, while my woodworking skills are crap, I know I can measure and cut well enough to make a lining for an existing shape. At first, I was going to go the route of Mo, and pull an Extreme...

I stumbled upon this page while looking for...well..what else? CIGARS!! http://merelyadequate.net/joshjellel/iFicionado/ It's a free Cigar organizational tool called Ificionado, and it has a really nice looking interface and seems to be something that would be really useful for those of you...

Wow! That didn't take long!! Wooo Hoooooooo!!! Yes, we have some bananas, we have some bananas todaaaaaaaaay!

Hey All! I dunno if you folks have these stores in your area, but both T.J. MAX and MARSHALL's (owned by the same company) have these little "men's" sections that feature such manly things as bike tire pumps, binoculars, AND HUMIDORS! I just went there this afternoon to bring back some pants...

I just got an order in from JR's, as I caved in and bought the 20 count Corona sampler, and figured I'd try out the JR Cuban Alternatives (19.95 a bundle). Smoked one this morning, and damn if the thing didn't burn nice and long, and taste pretty good! Certainly well worth a buck-a-stick...

Recently got a box of these El Fenecios on closeout from Corona. Ten cigars, $9.95 (with a retail of $49.95). I wasn't expecting much, as the closeout deals that fill my humidors usually end up "desperation" smokes, but these were actually pretty outstanding. I found them to be on the...

I was at this really cool lil' shoppe in Fall River, MA. today, called the Ol' Firehouse Smokeshop. It's an actual old turn of the century fire station with a really great selection of smokes, and I usually pop in there once or twice a month to scour the racks for goodies. This week I got a...

Here I sit at 12:47 am, and I'm patiently waiting for these "killer" deals JR's promises with it's 1:00 am Madness sale. I've meant to check it out, but usually either fall asleep, or get caught up in something else (oh, fine, I am usually playing CounterStrike!), but tonite I'm determined to...

Hey all, this is probably a really silly question, but, while I really enjoy a good, strong smoke, I find that some (yet, strangely, not all) of the more robust brands give me a rather unpleasant burning/numbing sensation on the tip of my tongue that will last for a day or so! I don't know...
