    Cigar Smoking vs. Health Concerns

    I did lots and lots of reading about this when I took up smoking cigars. Unfortunately there are not a lot of cigar-specific studies out there, since the concern is so predominantly regarding cigarettes. What I did find, though, is that pipes and cigars are nowhere near as dangerous as...

    Anyone have some high resolution cigar photos around?

    I LOVE that b&w tatuaje pic with the brown label still in color. Do you happen to still have the high res source for that? I'm specifically looking for something at my desktop resolution or bigger. Amazing photos all around, you guys are amazing.

    Anyone have some high resolution cigar photos around?

    Hi guys, I am looking for a nice high resolution cigar picture for my desktop, which is 1920x1200. Preferably something on the artsy side, like these: Thanks for looking -- I have seen some excellent photographers on this site!

    Illusione

    I hear this all the time across the board. Why are some cigars not even offered at the smaller RGs?

    Illusione

    That's interesting. I picked up a 5er of the 88's but they clashed a bit with the flavors I usually like. Maybe I'll try some of the others.

    Why does Rockey Patel have a bad rap?

    I agree, too many blends to count. For my money, though, the Reo is a great tasting cigar for 2 bucks. And I *really* like the Edge line -- they are the only cigars that I have smoked so far where I have been able to detect a fruity and citrus flavor. I really enjoy it. Are there other...

    Sorry for the total noob question, but aren't all the illusiones the same blend, and the abbreviation is just the size?

    Recommend me a few good morning smokes

    Wow, no love for Ashton Cabinets. A little pricey, but these are my absolute favorite thing to light up when I get to work and realize very quickly it's going to be a stressful day. Nice and mild, amazing smooth flavor. I'm out too, need to pick up a 5er.

    Opus X Prices

    Opus' have quite a bad wrap around here for some reason, but I think they are pretty damned good and worth around the $13-$16 they cost here. Although when I am in a premium mood these days I am reaching for the Tat Black or the Ashton Cabinet. :2

    Advice on "Nubbing" a cigar

    Xikar multi tool. Has a little metal toothpick thing in there. Stab cigar with it and the tool fits very nicely in your hand while you smoke.

    Reviews Question.

    I don't really like the cigar reviews in magazines and other popular publications. Usually they come off as pretentious and wordy to me. I am also a newbie, and found www.stogiereview.com to be the best place to get nice unbiased reviews. And really, you just have to smoke different cigars...

    help with my Savoy

    If it is reading 61% while salt-testing, it is just off by 14%. So if it's reading 45%, you are really at 59%. Although that still seems awfully low for the amount of moisture you have in there. Could be a bum unit. One of my hygrometers is off by 11% -- which is pretty high, but it's...

    Another notch in the Devil's belt

    Man, I didn't even expect AT ALL to spend what I spent. I was just browsing and tossed in some bids that I thought were good deals. I fully expected to get outbid on a lot of them, and was quite surprised when the "you have won" emails started pouring in. I now completely understand the...

    Another notch in the Devil's belt

    I didn't really go and evaluate how well I did. This was my first (and last for awhile) outing on the site. I'm scared that I might have been able to get the same stuff straight from CI for cheaper. Title: Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature - 5-Pack Price: $37.00 Title: Oliva Serie G Maduro...

    Man Crush On Rocky

    I'm not a huge fan of the RPs I have tried, but those edge sumatras :dr And the REOs are an insanely good value, great consistent smoke for 2 bucks.

    How do I ship to my cousin in Australia

    Couldn't you just place an order on an Australian website and have them ship to him?

    Toraño Virtuoso

    I think someone else posted this somewhere too, but right now you can get a really great deal on 20 toranos for $40 on CI. It's one of the 3 specials you get during checkout.
