    Anyone find the beetle hole in the JR catalog?

    I just received the 2008 #5 catalog from JR. I was looking at it over dinner tonight and almost spit out my food when I found a beetle hole in the catalog. If you have it, check out page 21. Looks like a beetle hole to me. Not knocking them or anything, but I found it funny. If I remember...

    Spreading the love...

    This past weekend I went to a surprise party for my brother-in-law. I took some cigars (2 Taboo Twists, 2 CAO Blacks, and 1 Onyx) with me assuming I'd smoke one and be able to hand some out. I was talking with a friend from back home and he told me the only cigars he had ever had tasted like...

    A 5 Vegas Gold Toro Review

    Cigar: 5 Vegas Gold Size: 6 x 50 This cigar was a bombed stick to me from Steve (shvictor). Thank you Steve! I enjoyed it on my porch reading "The 5th Miracle" by Paul Davies (I'm a nerd and proud of it!). The wrapper was okay looking. I don't judge a cigar too much on the wrapper....looks...

    A short review of a Taboo Ecuador Connecticut

    I wanted to post this (even though it is a little short) since I haven't seen any reviews of it yet. Tonight I was in the mood for something mild and creamy. I purchased the Taboo sampler and this is the first one I've smoked from it. It was the Ecuador Connecticut robusto. The silky...

    A Short Story told by Kevin

    So here goes my first review on CS. I wanted a cigar tonight, but it was a little cooler here then it has been the past few days. This led me to smoke a A. Fuente Hemingway Short Story. The wrapper was a dark brown and slightly toothy. The prelit aroma was of dried, dark fruit....something...

    Does ash length contribute to flavor?

    I tried searching for this with no luck. Am I doing a disservice to my cigar's flavor by knocking off the ash every inch or so? Does the ash length have any effect on flavor? Thanx for the help!

    Hi everyone! I have ratebeer for beer ratings and top25cigar for cigars, but are there any websites where users post wine ratings? I can't seem to find any. Thanx for any help!
