I asked this question in the pipe forum, but I find it's just as relevant, or even more so, in here. Do you find yourself spending more time reading about, researching, shopping for, and discussing cigars than you actually do smoking them. For me, it's too often the case. Does anybody else...

Today was the last day for me and Rocky. I had an R4 maduro that I had to use a napkin the entire time in order to wipe off the dye from my lips. Now, I expect this when I have my Phillie's Titan with maduro. However, I do not expect this from a major manufacturer. This also isn't the...

Apparently, I have not logged in here since July 23rd. I have been away on vacation for the last week and a half. There are 27,355 new posts since my last login! Instead of trying to read them all, is there anybody that could give me a brief synopsis on what's happened in the last couple of...

I know that Padron no longer makes the Fumas. However, I read in some other threads that Padron was selling their clippings to other manufacturers. My question is, does anybody know who they sell them to, and what cigars are made from them now? I still miss those great cigars.

What do you all find are the top 3 things that impact the flavor of the cigar most? Try to list them in order to importance. For me, they are: 1) what I've eaten/drank: I find that if I choose the wrong cigar after I've eaten or drank something, that it totally impacts the flavor, whether...

What do you all find to be the best/favorite cedar wrapped cigars? I find that in general, I prefer cedar wrapped cigars. My favorite to date are the Fuente Chateau and Double Chateau, 5 Vegas series 'A', and the Ramon Allones, specifically the Ultimo. What others should I try?

I was curious if anybody has ordered these before. I've been interested in the CAO Black and Padron setup. However, CI never mentions what sizes they are. I even emailed their customer service, and the only response I got was they did not know. I was actually surprised at the response...

I was curious who actually makes the Famous 3000 cigar? Actually, I would be interested to know who makes each of their lines. Normally, for places like Holt's, it seems that people know who produced the cigar. For a cigar that's so talked about, I figured somebody knows who makes them. I...

I have always liked the Arturo Fuent Cubanitos. I think they are a great short smoke. Somtimes, it feels like it has everything I want in a cigar. For people who like this small cigar, have you ever found anything, especially in the Fuente line, that has a similar taste profile?

I was curious what other's opinions are on this showdown? I have had both. I like both. They are both made under the same manufacturer. What I find, though, is that I can enjoy the Montesino as much as the Fuente, and it costs less. In my mind, that's usually better. Do people find that...

This is more of a general comment/question. Is there a major concern over cross contamination of tobacco beetles between humidors? The reason I ask is that recently on here it appears that several people are having beetle outbreaks. This rash of outbreaks started me thinking about what risk...

I am extremely hesitant to bring up this topic for the obvious reasons, but I wonder if anybody else has my same affliction. Usually, almost every time I smoke, either a cigar or pipe, within 24 to 48 hours, my nasal passages dry out. It gives me a horrendous headache, and the only thing that...

This is my first review of any cigar, ever, period. I am not apt to do reviews, unless something really stands out to me, and, I must say, this cigar absolutely did that. I also stood outside in the pouring rain to smoke this. Fortunately, I was covered sufficiently to avoid getting wet, but...

I was curious if anybody would be willing to divulge where they've found the best prices on the Padron 0000s series? I'm specifically interested in the 3000, as well as the londres. I'm unable to get Padron's in my area. On a side note, is anybody aware of Padron using new packaging? On...
