    how have you spent your day so far

    It's been a while since I have last posted, but now's a good time. I went to the PGA Championship here in Atlanta and enjoyed some sticks with my father. Great weather, great drinks, great sticks, and a great time was had by all.

    Impressions on Devil's Weed

    wow, it really seems as if these are very hit and miss regarding consistency. I enjoyed one that I received as part of a 3 pack give away, my wife enjoyed one as well, and I gave the third away. My wife enjoyed hers and I have no idea how the guy who I gave the 3rd enjoyed his. Oh well, I...

    How did you start smoking cigars

    I was never a cigarette smoker and in fact, have never put a cigarette to my mouth. I started smoking cigars during high school. There was a guy on the golf team who would buy us packs of Backwoods before we would hit the course. I enjoyed Backwoods throughout high school and in college...

    CAO Brazilia GOL!

    Great review. The Brazilia is one of my favorite cigars. It is also my wife's favorite. She loves to smoke the Brazilia Cariocas (the miniature's in the tin's). Whenever I go to the local B&M, she will ask me to pick up another 5 pack.

    Devil's Weed Review

    After receiving a three pack of Devil's Weed cigars from Mr. Puro, in exchange for writing a review, I finally got around to smoking one for a review. The construction of the cigar was top notch. It was well-rolled and the wrapper was very smooth. The pre-light aroma had me excited to torch...

    Zippos and stogies?

    My wife gave me an engraved zippo for my birthday recently. I have lighted all of my cigars with butane or matches previously. I cannot tell a difference in the taste of cigars lit with the zippo. I don't have a distinguished palette anyway, so YMMV.

    Recommend me a cheap cigar

    I was looking for a cheap bundle to share with my groomsmen the night of my bachelor party and Flor de Olivias fit the bill. They were good enough that two of my police officer friends took me into their "protective custody" when the local police wanted to haul me off to the drunk tank. I...

    Hey, Thanks for the cigars. I haven't had time to smoke any yet, but am looking forward to it. I would like to leave you trader feedback, but I don't know how to. I have tried to search and find out how to but cannot. Thanks for your help. Austin

    I received my sample of Devil's Weed today and am going to let them rest for a day or two and will post my review then. Thanks again for this offer, Mr. Puro.

    Hot burn and harsh taste - any fix?

    The whole slowing down will power thing reminds me of this scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MkQU_Hz32E Sometimes I feel like Tommy, and the cigar is represented by the roll.

    Hot burn and harsh taste - any fix?

    I smoke pretty fast, and by the time I get to the last third, all of my cigars taste like a burnt pretzel in my mouth. To slow down, I do a combination of all the things that people have said. Put it down after puffs, have something to drink, but for me what works best is to find something to...

    Cheap Wine vs Expensive Wine

    I'm with you on the cheap wine. I will be the first to admit that I don't have a taste for fine wine. A friend of mine is a bit of a wine snob and serves very nice wines when we have dinner at his house. But to me, they taste no different (to me) than the bottles of two buck chuck that I pick...

    You are exactly right. That Blackstone looks so good in that 50 year old yellow cellophane.

    Yes, there is a lot to be said for being by myself when I forgot to use my brain.

    Oh, no way, not a true indicator of the presence of flame, neither would the cigar that I had in my hand. Only flesh....

    Dinosaur Jr's Humidor Project (Pics)

    For the amount of work that you are going to put into this, I hope it holds RH really well. Good luck. Looks great already.

    I'm the Newest Noob

    Oh, thanks for the info about the Punch. Is that how other brands of CC and NC cigars are like (i.e. RyJ, Cohiba, etc.)? I am totally open for advise. As a relatively new smoker, I will take any advice from a knowledgeable BOTL like yourself. I was wondering what the "F & S" meant that...

    and the BIG DUH, STUPID award goes to...

    I think I can compete for the coveted BIG DUH, STUPID award. Today I couldn't tell if my Ronson was working...and I stuck my hand over the top of it to see if it was igniting or if the butane was just leaking. I'm typing slow with an ice pack on a finger....
