I have to admit that I am getting back to cigars after a very long hiatus. After my son was born I never got two minutes to myself let alone time to relax for a cigar. The exceptions were the rare occasions out with the guys and golf outings but even in those instances I feel you arent able to...

Have $300 burning a hole in my pocket and am looking for ways to spend it. I really want to begin my long awaited dive into the dark side...any suggestions on how best to spend this bothersome money? I was thinking parti shorts....or....??

Stopped into a very nice cigar shop in the city I now work in and in the front window he has an absolutely beautiful brown high back leather chair...something you would see in a rich mans study. Embroidered on the back of the chair, where your head would rest as you sit in it was the OpusX...

About two weeks ago I set up a coolidor and brought the humidity up to 74, removed the oaisis, put in empty boxes until the RH settled in around 68 then added smokes. So far I have two boxes of singles, a box of LVH, the freebie Giesperts and two other empty wooden boxes that have been in...

What is the minimum temperature range you would feel comfortable with in storing cigars in a coolidor or any other device for that matter. I realize that this question is somewhat subjective since everyones tastes are different. However, I am more concerned with damage to the smokes through...

I spent a better part of the morning trying to buy propylene glycol since a little bottle of 50/50 costs $7 and a quart of PG costs $5. And yes I know I should buy the beads and will buy the beads but not just yet. Anyway, you would think I was looking to buy nuclear waste or something...

I picked up two of these the other day at the local shop for $10 each and would have gotten more if they didnt have a 2 per person limit on them. This was one beautiful cigar. Almost too pretty to smoke...almost. The prelight draw was medium and a bit tight but thats how I prefer it so I was...

Found this site looking for more info on the Short Story. Check out the OpusX Football and Spiral Football. http://people.ambrosiasw.com/~andrew/rare_cigars/

I got a chance to visit Connecticut Valley Tobacconist today and its really a neat place. The shop is housed in what was a pharmacy that dated back 100 years. When CVT moved in they didnt remodel but left everything as it was and walking through the door is like walking back in time. I...

I recently purchased a 5 stick Otterbox to throw in my briefcase. Question is how often do I have to rewet the tiny little humidifier with the 50/50 solution? The thing is so small I cant see how it would last too long.

Granted its not the ultimate in smokes but I was in the shop yesterday looking for something different and quick to smoke and this fit the bill. The construction on this was very nice with no major flaws. The foot toasted nicely and the draw was perfect, not too tight and not too loose. The...

Now this may really sound stupid but has anyone noticed that the cigars on the top tray of thier humidor are more brittle than those below? Looking through my stash today I noticed more "crunch" with those on the tray and a softer feel to those on the bottom. Granted the credo is mounted...

Joining here a few weeks back I checked out Cigarbid.com. So far Ive bought three boxes (Jericho Corona's, La Flor Dominicana Ligro L300's, and a block of El Credito Apprentice bundles) along with a 6 pack of Gurkha Legend Anniversario Perfecto's, a 5 pack of Sherpa Mystic Special Edition Dos...

Still working on stablizing my humidor but still have a few questions. Ive been able to keep the RH between 68 and 70 by inserting and removing the credo. I definately over whetted the credo at first so it was unable to absorb moisture and besides that I used straight distilled water. I dried...

I received my 300 count humidor on friday and placed a small cup of boiling water in it. Came in this morning and the RH is around 77%. Question is should I put the credo in now along with my cigars or just the cigars and wait till the RH is at 70 and then put in the credo? Any help would be...

Does anyone know if Cigarbid.com and CigarInternational are one and the same? The only reason I ask is that I just got the latest edition of Stuff Magazine and in the back they have an add for cigar international and the logo is the same as cigarbid...the smiley face with stubble and a stick in...

Ive just recently gotten into cigars and a few posts here. My local cigar shop is actually run by a guy who I went to high school with and after making the rounds, its probably the best in the illustrious state of Connecticut. Without plugging the joint the name is Up in Smoke, and despite my...

I picked up a bundle of these from Cigarbid.com because the price was right, $23.00 for 25 smokes...not bad. Let me start by saying I tried one out of the package and it wasnt bad at all, should be alot better with some time in the humidor. However, when I got them and opened the package and...

Being a noobie this is my first ever review so bear with me. Stopped by my local smoke shop and this months special is the Jericho Robusto, about $2.50 a stick after taxes. Granted not a super deal but sparked interest for online bargains, especially after a recent review gave it a 90. I...
