    Top 3 Brands - Now & Then

    I just arbitrarily chose 1993 as my "then" year, for it was a couple years before the "boom" really hit home, the year I could still get AF Hemi Short Stories for $60 a box. It is amazing how much has changed since then. If I were to go back to my earliest "then," it'd be 1980. Arturo Fuente...

    Top 3 Brands - Now & Then

    I know this sort of thing has been done before, but if you are like I am, tastes change periodically. Also, manufacturers also may tweak blends. And of course, rollers may come and go. But mainly, our tastes change. Having said that, I am curious, what are your 3 favorite brands (be...

    Oliva Serie V Belicoso

    Cannot speak to the Belicoso, but haven't found and Oliva V I didn't like. Really enjoy the Double Toro and the Lancero.

    Edge lovers

    Cute! I was thinking "Edge" cigars. Nope! Yes, I do like brownie edges better than the inner portion.

    There is a big decision being made soon....

    Decisions are often not easy, and it is always appropriate to ask for Divine intervention. I pray the Holy Spirit guide you in the decision-making processes you will be undergoing - and that God blesses you with confidence and comfort that you have made those beneficial to you and your future...

    A "TWISTED" evening

    Very nice job with the reviews, liked the concise format. Interesting perspectives and opinions on the tastes. Personally I found the Taboo much richer in flavor than the CAO. Neither is very spicy flavor-wise. What's really nice is the fact that if I have to buy it, the Taboo has the...

    Sleazy Cigar Shop - Gives cigars a bad name?

    Maybe, maybe not! Maybe they never thought much about it? That being said, I'm also not the type to say that "something" offends me in this forum, but say nothing at the store. If I walked in the store, it would probably be during normal business hours, so I'd naturally be in my "work...

    Sleazy Cigar Shop - Gives cigars a bad name?

    I'd feel that way too. Of course, I'd also grab the magazines off the table in a large stack (making sure someone was watching), walk them over to the counter and ask, "So, would you like my business? Or, would you like me to talk about your shop to my friends?" Of course, I'd be wearing...

    Taboo Twist

    I'd say the previous cigars are about 4 months older (in my humidor). The color was different right off the bat - that is what I was curious about. Ring gauge will affect the flavor profile a bit, that's why I didn't think much about the difference between the larger RG Twists I had previous...

    Taboo Twist

    I have recently gotten some Taboo Twists - Torpedos and Petite Coronas. Here's the deal. I just had my last older torp, and I noticed something - the maduro portion on the older ones is significantly darker than on the newer ones. I then looked at all of my twists - and all the older ones...

    Review: Taboo Honduran Sun Grown Lancero

    I can agee that it did grow in intensity and spice a bit. I liked the spice and nuttines, and the fact that they grew in flavor was kinda nice. I like the 40 RG for a Lancero, that is a generous RG for that shape. The pigtail cap was also a nice touch. The burn was also very good and...

    Traverse City - Nolan's Tobacco

    Was there while on vacation. Nice folks. Decent selection. And the prices were reasonable, considering the MI taxes on tobacco products.

    Pray for my Grandmother

    Andy, Grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You, your family, and grandmother will be in my prayers. Dear Lord God, heavenly Father, we ask that you would guide the doctors, nurses, hospice workers, that they might be diligent in their tasks - and...

    When I send the coffee, I am not looking for a review, I simply hope you find it enjoyable. A nice cup to begin the day. I don't do coffee for effect, I could have a whole pot and go back to bed. I enjoy coffee, even if I am not contemplating all the subtle nuances - bright or not? floral...
