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...

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...

Hey all! Been sort of busy for the last month and a half. Someone asked me if I was still around, thought I'd post a response. With a number of longer projects at church, including a Retreat for the Catechumens, and then a ten day vacation, I had to curtail some extra-curriculars - CS was...

OK, so you have a choice - one or the other, which would it be... the Padilla Miami 8/11 Corona or the Tatuaje Noella? You can only have one or the other, what's your verdict.

It is my understanding that the Padilla lines that were blended by Don Pepin will no longer be produced. Is this correct? Which lines are those??? Miami 8/11??? '68??

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Well, I fly out of here later today for N. Carolina. Will be there for my niece's Confirmation. Won't be back till Monday. I do not expect to be able to access CS after 3:00p today until LATE Monday night. I...

Went out fishing for a few hours today. Took along a Taboo Twist Torpedo that Gnukfu sent to me. Snip, light, puff, enjoy. Wow! Great smoke. I'm river fishing the Kewaunee for Steelhead trout... Yes, wading in the water... I am about 3 inches into this bad boy - about 45 minutes after...

Padron 1964 Principe Mad. 0.0 - 2.0 = poor/inferior quality 2.1 - 2.9 = fair 3.0 - 3.5 = good 3.5 - 4.5 = excellent 4.6 - 5.0 = superior 1) Aesthetics: I am sorry, but just a box-press just makes for a good-looking cigar. The wrapper is lighter chocolate, in fact, very light for a maduro...

So, some of us have been around long enough to remember cigars that are no longer available. Some of them were really good, some sucked. Which were the good ones that you wish wouldn't have gone away? Pheasant -- especially the robusto 5.5X54. It wasn't a powerhouse, but had plenty of...

Hadn't really heard much about Tatuaje before arriving here at CS. Now, I was wondering about the Series P. It is a mixed filler, and the price is almost reasonable. Anybody have these before and willing to share some thoughts? Thanks.

Tatuaje - Noella I have never had one of these before, in fact I have never had any Tatuaje or Cab. or Don Pepin or... Anyway, I have heard about the Tatuajes, so was glad to get one of these and was really excited to try it out. In fact, I didn’t give it the rest in the humidor like I...

Here's a new thought. What's your cigar journey? I don't know how to explain doing it, because everybody has and will include different details. I'll get it started, mine should give you some ideas. I've heard that "life is a highway." I don't know if that's true, I hate the highway...

Anybody ever here for this online e-tailer? Anybody ever deal with them?

In reading here for a couple months now, I have not seen these mentioned. There are a boutique brand that has been around for at least 13 years. They have their Miami line and their Flamboyan line (a little fuller). Personally, this is about the best tasting mild to medium cigar on the...

Camacho Corojo Nacionales gnukfu was my FTG in the Newbie Sampler Trade and I was a first time trader when he hit me up with this stick. Thought I post a review of it. 0.0 - 2.0 = poor/inferior quality 2.1 - 2.9 = fair 3.0 - 3.5 = good 3.5 - 4.5 = excellent 4.6 - 5.0 = superior 1)...

OK, with all the talk about CFO, I got an itch I needed to scratch. So, I got one of my local cigar-smoking buds - a newbie here - to go halves with me on an order. 1 wheel of 50 - Special #7 Reserva Gran Belicoso 1 wheel of 50 - Barb's Choice Box Press Robusto They arrived today. Then...

Fuente Fuente Opus X Belicoso XXX (at least that is what I think it is) A short belicoso, about 4.5X50, a red band around the foot (is that the Beli. XXX??). It is in the wrong box at the B&M. Got it for $17.00. Pulled the trigger on it because the rest of the gorillas here have been...

Cuesta-Rey Stanford's Cameroon Reserve Pyramid #9 0.0 - 2.0 = poor/inferior quality 2.1 - 2.9 = fair 3.0 - 3.5 = good 3.5 - 4.5 = excellent 4.6 - 5.0 = superior 1) Aesthetics: With it’s gold foil sleeve and special bands the packaging raises the expectations. At least, I guess that’s the...

OK, I have seen stuff about CFO - and especially the #7, people picking them up. I haven't seen any reviews... Or, I just missed them. Tell me about their #7 - a review and possible comparison to other smokes. How about the not-a-short-story? And Barb's Choice/box-pressed? (gotta love a...

N.E.W.T.S. is short for NorthEastern Wisconsin Tobacco Society. It is a club (I use that term loosely) for cigar and pipe smokers that meets at St. Brendan's Pub in Green Bay, Wisconsin. There are no dues. There are no fees. We meet monthly (usually the third Monday of the month) for...
