    Cigars like Jewelry....

    Do you ever feel like shopping for cigars online is like shopping at a jewelry store? I have felt this way lately. It seems like all the major sites have these BLOWOUT deals. A lt of times these are great deals, but what gets me is the savings or retail price. Some of these cigars have never...

    Barber Pole suggestions

    Call me crazy but something about Barber Pole wrapped cigars is enjoyable to me. For me aestethics is part of the experience, and I like these. I really like the Fuente BTL, but they are WAAAY too hard to find to smoke often. What are some other good Barber Pole stogies?

    Oliva Serie v Torpedo

    This is not really a review per say, more my sharing of an experience. I smoked this today, (my first time with this vitola). These Serie V have been absolutely flooded in my area so I have grabbed a few of all of the different sizes. This cigar had really peppery flavor in the beginning. It...

    Overboard on humidity?

    I am curious how people feel in general about humidifying shipments. Personally, I have yet to receive cigars that included a humidity pack, and I'm fine with that. I think we sometimes get carried away on the humidity issue. If something is being sent priority mail, it usually arrives in 2-3...

    Advice..Cigar enclosure

    I have been thinking about purchasing a large Humidor 1200+, but I have been wondering if it may be better/and cheaper to just build a cigar enclosure. I have seen threads where people build a smoking room. I'm not thinking that elaborate. I'm just thinking about a small enclosure that would run...

    Rocky Patel Sun Grown Lancero

    Rocky Patel Sun Grown Lancero (limited release) Price $7.00 size 7x38 This stick is from the limited release Rockly Patel lancero sampler. Initial impression is that this cigar is very attractive. I like lanceros and this one was not any different. The draw was near perfect (a tad tight)...

    Has anyone tried any of these? I know they are a limited release, but I have the opportunity to get a box of 10 at a good price. I like the lancero shape, just looking for opinions. Thanks

    Cuban vs. the world

    I'm sure this has been debated many times before, but I did not see this anywhere. I spend time at a few local cigar lounges and this debate always comes up. Is it true that Cuba produces superior cigars in this day and age? There is no question that up until maybe 15 years ago the answer was...

    Alec Bradley

    Just finished an Alec Bradley Medalist Robusto This is a good looking cigar, and the wrapper has a nice feel. The first impression is that the cigar has a very strong nic flavor. After about ten minutes it began to smooth out and had some nice complex spice to it. It had a few burn issues...

    Letting different cigars "mingle"

    Since joining this site I ahve seen numerous pictures of peoples set-ups. My question is this.... Do you think there is any issue with allowing unwrapped (no cellophane) cigars touch each other while being stored? For example an Opus x sitting next to a Tatuaje. Over time, will this change the...

    Padron 1964 Exclusivo maduro

    It's no secret that I am a HUGE fan of Padron. I smoked this yesterday afternoon. The box press is beautiful and the construction is excellent. This cigar has very complex, rich flavors from the very first draw. I find the most cigars take about an inch to come in to their own, but not this one...

    Perdomo Habano Torpedo Maduro

    I thought I would enjoy this outdoors today for a nice mid day smoke at lunchtime. Great looking cigar..I really enjoy the Perdomo line. The wrapper was nice and oily. I have to say tht I was disappointed overall. The last third of the cigar had some really good flavor but the first two thirds...

    Cool story..

    I recently went to a small get together at a friends house. I figured I would take a hand full of cigars in case the opportunity arose to enjoy a stogie. Well, the opportunity came and I passed out a few Aspira Presidente's (I get them from FSS, great deal). Everyone kept commenting how it was...

    How many do you smoke?

    Just curious because I haven't seen this elsewhere. I realize that we have thousands of people on here with different taste, lifestyle, and budgets. One thing I am curious about is how often most of you enjoy a cigar.
