I have only smoked two Tatuaje cigars so far. One brown label Especiales and one brown label Cojonu 2003 (Gran Robusto size I think, pretty big anyway), see here for reference http://www.tinderbox.com/Tatuaje-Cojonu-2003-Cigars . The Especiales was very, very good. To the point where I compared...

I can't really tell you what my Vino is set at because the LCD is broken and only shows some of the parts of each cipher. I do remember it would usually be pretty exact. Maybe two or three degrees off. Temperature in the house is around 80. I think Vino is set to 62 or 63 which turns out to be...

Forgot to say. Ken said in his post that a colleague of his said to have paid $100 for three burgers and three beers at the Oktoberfest. There and only there does that sound about right. The Mass is around 10 Euro now, I think. Mind you that's like three bottles of beer at an American bar (plus...

Jason, very good question and, of course, there is more than one answer. When I turned 30 I smoked a Davidoff Anniversario no. 1. They are about $30 each and come packaged in a beautiful cedar wood tube that you can keep as a nice souvenir. It is a big cigar that will take two hours to smoke...

Azo, Munich in October is of course the place to be. You WILL have fun, congrats! First some tips regarding the cigars. There are many cigar shops in Munich and it is not a problem to find Cubans, obviously. One of the oldest is Tabak Sommer founded in 1936, see here...

I am not so sure that the copper will not impart a certain taste. If you think about the combination of nicotine and oils in the cigar maybe that could cause a reaction with the copper. Copper then starts to tarnish and tarnish rubs off on cigars. I am not sure if this would happen but it might...

I do freeze all my incoming cigars although I must admit I was not as anal as some of you about it in terms of the procedure used. Still, I never got a single cracked wrapper or dried out cigar. I usually freeze 24-48 hours and have no idea how cold my fridge is. This works well on the cigars...

Get the Lava or Vector fuel. You must have heard of it. It is filtered even more than the Dupont fuel and works flawlessly. I have the Vector fuel and use it for a Ligne 2. I hear the Lava is at least as good, though I wonder how it could be any better and how one would be able to determine that...

The problem with this ruling is that now they have to reconsider the laws. The way the laws were made allowed establishments that had the room to do so to install separate smoking zones. This, however, was unfair to those establishments that didn't have the room to do so like many little...

I am looking forward to celebrating July 4th with my friends and neighbors. We will do a little neighborhood crawl, go from house to house and get food and drink, finish off with watching Independence Day on Blu-ray on the big screen. Personally, I think I will smoke an aged RJ Churchill in...

Pink with golden sparklies. The inside should be canary yellow. The grip transparent. :BS

Must have been a bad batch. Balvenie is one of the smoothest out there for any of their products. I haven't had the Balvenie Doublewood yet but I had a bottle of 21yr old Portwood which was EXCELLENT. Also try a Glen Farclas. Very smooth. The Lagavulin is known to be very, very peaty. It is...

Re: Padron 3000 Toro Nicaraguan puro So I smoked all of the cigars from the 4-5$ review sample. I won't go into as great detail as for the first few but still wanted to give you my impressions. The Rocky Patel Edge was a beautiful cigar with great draw. But, I don't remember anything about...

Congrats, Pete. Definitely the right way to do it. You deserve some RG. No more hiding on your side and asking for you not to stink when you lay down next to your wife is a very reasonable thing and can be expected of a man. Right on, bro! Till

I actually found that a proportion of 3 parts salt to 1 part water works well. My tablespoon measure kitchen utensil says that 1 TBSP equals 15ml. Thus 15ml salt with 5 ml water will do the trick. Mine actually still changed even after 36 hours. After 48 hours it was set. It is certainly also a...

When do you smoke the cigar? In the evening or in the morning? In other words, how long until the headache appears? I have had the most terrible headache in my life after an Oliva G series maduro torpedo. It came almost instantly. Even after some of my favorite cigars I sometimes have a small...

Costa, what about those questions I asked? While Mark is right on the money of what kinds of things one would need to do to make it perfect, you need to assess the real needs first in order to find out what you must do to get to your level of "smoke free". After that, there is, of course, the...

How much do you smoke in there? How important is it to not have the least bit of smell in the adjacent room? Does the temperature allow for good aeration by simply opening the window? I smoke very little in my room. Perhaps one pipe and one cigar per week. I have an ionizer in there (Biozone)...

Padron 3000 Toro Nicaraguan puro Padron 3000 Maduro Toro 5.5x52 Appearance and built: Rustic look. The band is a simple brown and white band a la Montecristo. It is a small band which I like. The veins are too visible and too pronounced for my taste. This already would make the visual...

If you can be a little more specific, we can help out better. How old are you? Which kind of crowd do you like to hang with? Do you want to eat there, too? What kind of music do you like? Do you have a car? Which area of town you are staying in? In Travis county you cannot smoke cigars indoors...
