This is a double corona Connecticut wrapped Dominican premium. It comes in a cedar lined aluminum tube. The first thing you would notice about this cigar is that it is firm and heavy, like a wood dowel. Perfectly smooth wrapper with no bumps or large veins. The smell is sweet and cedary. It cut...

Very informative. Answered all my questions about them. http://www.apsnyc.com/pdf/silica_gel_SW_2003.pdf

I'm vistiing with relatives but I should have some spare time at some point. I'll be out in Long Island visiting my cigar smoking uncle, also. This is like coming to "The Old Country" to me. I was born and raised in CA. Anyone have some pointers?

I very seldom agreed with the politics of the man and couldn't wait for him to leave the government but I always had respect for him. I believe he was doing what he thought was best, however wrong he was. I would never wish harm to him and I am very sorry for his condition. My thoughts and...

Thanks to Demented, I now can add baking to my hobbies. This is my third time baking bread and I'm starting to get it. I combined three recipes and some common baking skills so I can't begin to write the recipe down. I used "Pioneer" starter. It's sweeter than San Fransisco type. Now I...

This is a trade I got from ir13 in the NST. This cigar comes in corojo and maduro. I had a maduro. First off, the stick is beautiful, box pressed with a large paper wrap and a nice band. I feels perfect in the hand. I was outside on a cool 55F night in the dark. A slight breeze was blowing, not...

Since I have been a member of CS I have been trying a lot of new cigars because of trades, bombs and "read about and have to try." So I dipped into my humidor and pulled out my old favorite, LGC Wavell maduro, which I have forgotten how it tasted. Whoa, no wonder I have not been impressed by a...

From a sales site: Crafted for those seeking big-time flavor without the knockout punch, Edge Lite combines a robust blend of Honduran-grown ligero, the same tobaccos used for the original Edge, inside a silky Connecticut shade wrapper that is super mild. This...

I am not sure what a tripple cap is. If it is when the binder is sealed over, then the wrapper is sealed over, then a little round cap is glued on, the I have seen this on the last three DR cigars I have smoked. And not on the last CC, which had a clean trim capped over. :confused:

I was doing my annual brush pile burn and chose a Hemingway signature to smoke as I recently got a box, gave a few out as gifts, and haven't smoked one myself. I was thinking about it now and realized that usually the cigar gets in my way as I'm working, but this one didn't. It was easy to keep...

Got these on sale at Famous. 7 1/2x52. Biguns. The setting: Sunny winter California afternoon. Mountain countryside. The drink: 350ml Korbel brandy my buddy brought (damn, it's hard to type this for some reason). The lighter: Bernz-o-matic torch. These sticks have a sweet tobacco with a...

:2 I have a 150 cigar desktop humidor for my easy to reach stash but I needed to store more cigars than that. My solution was to use 50 cal. military ammo cans. I lined the inside with the cedar separators from cigar boxes. I put a small humidifier in there at first just to raise the humidity...

I was bringing some Cuban cigars back from Taiwan and got busted by Customs. Rather than take away the cigars, the agent opened each tube, took out the cigar and used his knife to cut it open lengthwise. He graciously left me some undamaged. I was wondering if I could get some ideas on how to...
