I am on Vacation for 1 week. My family and I are going to Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. I thought I would post some reviews of the cigars I smoke while on vacation. It was been a while since I have tried my hand at a reviews so I apologize if they suck. If I have internet access in playa I...

I'm curious to know everyone attitude towards the re-gifting of cigars. What do you think is the proper etiquette? My personal take is that gifted cigars have special value. Typically the gifter has given them to you hoping that you will smoke them and enjoy them. With that in mind, I...

One of our CS brothers posted a very nice review for an aged Anejo. http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=73907 In the discussion that followed he said he sometimes gets bored when smoking a large cigar when he is by himself. I thought we could come up with a list of activities he...

I just finished asking about the definition of the word herf. I wasn't really satisfied with the answers, so I continued searching. I have shamelessly copied and pasted what I found. Sorry if that offends you. Regardless, if you haven't read it before it is great reading! :tu It WHAT IS...

I have a newbie question. I tried the search and I came up with too many threads to explore. So here goes....can someone either spell it out or point me to the thread where "herf" is defined. I know what it means, but I would like the definition. Thanks! :tu PS - believe it or not, its...

I have the week off this week and decided it would be a good time to light up and smoke some awesome cigars that I have received from the great folks at CS. We had originally planned to go away this week, but it turned out that wifey had to work. Not to worry, the time will be well spent...

Before coming actively involved here in the Jungle, I was convinced that "snail mail" was dead. The only thing that ever arrived in my box was bills and junk mail. The bills were basically obsolete since I pay them all on line and I don't see the need for a hard copy. The junk mail I can do...

When I am smoking a cigar I often reflect that reviewers tend to place too much importance of certain aspects that really don't matter that much to me. I agree that appearance is important, but only up until the time I light the cigar, then it becomes irrelevant. So I would place the...

I set up a coolidor a little over a month ago. It became a necessity due to the CS slippery slope! I placed a digital hygrometer in it and started filling 'er up (its almost full BTW). Ten days ago I added an item to it and noticed the humidity was @ 74%. So I slowly started taking action to...

Cognac was traditionally the drink of choice while indulging in the cigar. Many people believed ( and many still do) that the flavors and aromas of Cognac and cigars perfectly compliment one another. Much to my dismay, I don't get the allure of Cognac. No matter how often I try it I can't...

I went to the post office today to put some Partagas in flight for the MAW PIF. I had to tell the clerk what was in the package for the customs form. Being an idiot I hadn't planned this out in advance. I told the clerk it was a gift. :D She said what kind of gift? I said a handmade gift...

I know its been done many times, but I just finished my first one so I'm going to do it again. Hope that's OK with everyone. :w I live in Canada and domestic cigars are rarely sold here. If you ever do find a B&M that sells them, they are priced the same as Cubans so it’s very difficult to...

fit into the equation for you? Most reviewers break the review down into different categories and assign ratings to each category and then add them up to get an overall score. Top 25 Cigar for instance uses 5 categories - appearance, construction, flavor, value and overall experience. Other...

I am trying to set up a coolerdor. I threw in a humidification device and a digital hygrometer/thermometer and put it in the basement. The humidity came to 68% right away but the temp is 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Is that OK or should I move it?

I have roughly half a box of Padron 2000 Maduros that I purchased loose from a B&M 6 months ago. About 6 weeks ago I purchased a box of the same. When comparing the cigars from the 2 batches, they are significantly different. The 2nd set is much darker in color and the pre-light aroma is more...

You won't believe my good fortune today! I went to the bank @ lunch and withdrew some cash. Immediately upon returning to work I found out that one of my colleagues was leaving for a Cuban vacation tomorrow. I asked him if he would be so kind as to bring me a box of cigars and he said "sure...

I read a review several years ago where the reviewer said that when he had company over he would always let them have their pick of his humi if they were interested in joining him in a cigar. I thought that was pretty cool and have done that many times. Sometimes however, when I know the...

Montecristro #2 (cuban) is to date the best cigar I have ever had. Has anyone done a head to head comparison of all the different Monte #2's? I am intested how they all compare and how you would rank them.

I was in Fort Lauderdale for vacation last year and of course made sure that I stopped at a local cigar shop during my stay (several times!). I live in Canada which is basically the world's worst place to reside for a cigar lover. Fort Lauderdale seems to be the exact oposite. Great prices...

Smoked my first RP Vintage 1990 today. Had high hopes for this one. I bought 3 last week and couldn't wait to smoke one. Appearance was excellent. Really nice looking dark oily wrapper. The cigar had a nice spongy feel to it and all things considered the construction appeared to be really...
