Back in April a very wise, generous and upstanding gorilla was kind enough to gift me, among others, 10 of these wonderful cigars. Just recently he asked my thoughts on them. Now up until that point I had smoked a couple of these cigars but due to poor memory I could not recall enough info...

Home from work due to Hives (tech. name Urticaria), don't what causes it and can't find a doctor willing to invest the time and patience to diagnose it. Anyway, thought that I should do some study since I still have a pile of assignments to complete, and what better way than to sit in the...

... and no, I'm not talking about me here. Although today I feel about 20years older than I should. When I first started smoking cigars it was on a "as Iget em" basis and would only get a couple of spears to sit in the humi (a tupperdor) that I had at the time. However they didn't last long...

... Call for a special cigar! So I thought that I would celebrate starting my new job tomorrow and I had the exact cigar in mind. Since September 2005 I have had a cigar that Kansashat sent me called a Montague. Now I do remember Alan telling me where this cigar came from but unfortunately I do...

So we all know about the slippery slope of CS and cigars. The more we enjoy the more we get hooked, the more gorillas bomb us pushing further to the edge of financial ruin as we chase our desire for the perfect cigar. But is there a mental slope?? A slope that drives our minds into obsession...

So for my 1500th post I decided to do something constructive and do a review. This actually serves a number of purposes as this was the cigar I was going to smoke as a tribute to Zack, our dog who past away a couple of weeks ago. And also as a tribute to all the B & SOTL who have been so kind...

Poking thru the humi this morning looking for something on the short side to smoke on the way to work I came across this little baby and thought, well haven't ried one of these yet may as well give it a go. A dark and oily wrapper with a satin appearance, the only thing detracting from it was...

OK, this is an official thread for the ashtrays that I make and some of you may have seen around. Been meaning to do tis for awhile and have checked with Mod's and Admin to make sure I wasn't steeping on any toes, so here goes. The idea of this thread is so I can keep tabs on who wants ashtrays...

So today I get a letter from Australia International Post, it informs me I have a collection but must submit a formal Declaration form, pay duty and application fees etc. Now this is not something I have had before so I was a little confused. I jump in the car and head down there and present my...

Well the smoking bans are now wangling there way in down under and getting worse. As of tomorrow, owners of Pubs and Clubs can only allow patrons to smoke in 1 room only. This means that each pub or club must designate 1 room for smoking... this is obviously just the beginning and things will go...

Thought I'd open up this topic for discussion after I read a review posted by LT Rich (HERE) which he did on the KH 3X LIG. First let me just say that I'm not dropping you in it here Mate cause a similar thing has happened to me more often than not so I hope you are not offended at me using your...

I often keep my eyes open for cigar collectables (not that I could afford to buy them) or rare cigars, just to see whats out there. As of yet I have purchased nothing due to sinking money elsewhere. So I'm curious to know what people have in their collection of CIGAR related stuff that is either...

Thanks to MiamiE and a trade I did with him, I have a number of these. So far I have had 2, the first one I did not review on because I smoked it at my mother in laws 70th birthday and was talking and drinking so I did not have a chance to focus on the cigar. I remember I did like it, although...

I just had a question from DonJefe about the ashtrays I make and while making my long winded 2 Part reply (sorry Mate :) ) it had me wondering. Do you Stubb out (Butt out) your cigar in the ashtray or on the ground or whatever when you finish your cigar or do you lay it down and let it burn out...

My boss is going to SF and staying in Union Square area on a business trip (one day I will get to go :tg ) Can anybody tell me if their are any good cigar stores in the area as I have teed up with him to bring me back a box :p (hopefully). If it has a website even better then I can check it...

Don't know if anyone else here has seen this but its very interesting. This guy does renditions of cigar labels etc, great stuff. Check it out. http://fujipub.com/cohibaworld/

I'm a happy Gorilla. For those of you who may have read some of my posts before, you would be aware that cigar prices Downunder aren't very friendly, similar to Canada but in most cases dearer still. Well I have been scouring the net looking for vendors who ship internationally (to the extent...

Would like some suggestions on a medium cigar for that morning drive to work or after breaky on my day off. Drive to work is about 1/2 - 3/4 of an hour so something that I can comfortably smoke in that time would be great. I haven't had many of the smaller cigars so I don't know what to look...

Don't know if this has been done before, tried a search but nada. Thought it would be nice if we could come up with LIST of favourite stogies that was picked by the Gorillas of CS, those that are interested could then compare this to Top 25 Cigar or CA or just for fun and general interest. Might...

While I was away I had... Padron 4000 Maduro CAO L'Anniversaire Cam Robusto Macanudo OK, as some of you know I was away for work for about a week on a little Island on the north west coast of Australia called Barrow Island (wish it was called Cuba :D ), I went their for work. Just for the info...
