    Stopped at Target to get milk and bought a Vinotemp

    Good post! I have a Monte, as you might have guessed from my icon. My BM ordered one for me so there was no shipping and I got it for around 5 bills. Your price breakdown makes a lot of sense. My wife, who has no problem with me smoking in the house, also thought the Monte was a nice addition to...

    Stopped at Target to get milk and bought a Vinotemp

    I have a question. Do all of you folks who have a Vinotemp live in extremely hot climates? I live in central PA and I keep my house between 68 and 73 degrees all year around. The humidity varies, of course, but that's why I have a humidor. So why get a Vinotemp and spend all kinds of money...

    Birth announcement cigar thoughts...

    Fuente 8-9-8. You can even get them with the "It's a..." cellophane. You can get a box for less than a c-note. Super quality at an excellent price.

    Smoking stogies and sinuses?

    I've had sinus issues for as long as I can remember. I've tried Nasonex, Zyrtec, Claritin, everything you can think of. I finally gave up and figured that I would just have to live with my difficulties. My colleague told me about the Netipot. Last week, while in the drugstore, I accidently...

    Beetles at the B&M

    I'd contact one or two of the manufacturers. I'm sure that they do not want their product represented in that manner.

    Newb's Very 1st CS Herf: Tears and Cheers (rant)

    My wife and I made a trip to Canada last year. Going into Canada, the agents were professional and cordial. Coming home was a different story. We had nothing to declare... just hand the passports to the agent. When asked about declarations I said we have nothing to declare and the the agent...

    Sleazy Cigar Shop - Gives cigars a bad name?

    I've been following this thread for a day or two without posting. Tell me, who are we to say something doesn't belong somewhere? First of all cigars are for adults; traditionally males, albeit some females do smoke them. Second--- just light up a cigar and sit down on a bench in a public park...

    Mad at Carnival Cruise Lines

    I wonder what would have happened if you lit up in the bar anyway, despite the restrictions.

    Mouldy Hydra Cartridge AGAIN???

    The alcohol in vodka converts to sugar over time. Nothing feeds mold like sugar.

    I feel betrayed, would you?

    I'd give him a quick listing of my receipts for the last three months so he sees what I spend there. Then, I'd say something like, "Apparently my business isn't all that important too you. I'm truely sorry that that's the case, and although I feel badly about it, I suppose that I'll just have...

    Sad Sad Day - Palio Takes a Lickin

    To hell with the pics of the cutter. I want pics of the dog. He's a hero for finding it, even if he did "enjoy" it for awhile before returning it. Steve

    Anyone a member of local Cigar Lounges?

    Most B&M's that I know of have let you smoke for free. Not only that, they provide free coffee, etc. There are even a few in Ybor City that offer free wine! I was at Holt's in Philly last week and they have a hostess that serves the free beverages. Steve

    How well-known/respected is Sosa?

    I've been smoking cigars for over 30 yrs. I discovered Sosa on a trip to Orlando about 7 yrs ago and have had them on hand ever since. They are great cigars.

    Just got my beads, how wet to start?

    I have a kitchen scale so I weighed out 11.25 ounces of the beads (that's about 70%). I spread them out in a single layer and sprayed them with distilled water, mixed them with the dry beads and put them into a mesh bag. It has worke out perfectly. My cab has been as a solid 70% for 10 days.

    UPS Store told me shipping cigars was "illegal"

    First of all I hope you didn't buy the packing material at the UPS store. They wanted to charge me $7.00 for a box and peanuts. The box was was about 8 x 8 x 8 and they were going to charge me $7.00?!?!?! No way. I went to Officmax and got what I needed for under $5.00 and had enough packing...

    New Orleans shop with no humidor?

    JR in DC has no in-store humidor, nor does JR in Statesville, NC. The entire store is properly humidified. Having said that, I have no idea what the situation in NO is. Steve

    Oliva "O" Revisited!

    I doubt it. I bought a regular box of torpedoes and after about 2/3 of the stick is smoked, I get a crack about 3/4 of an inch from the nub. This happens on 3 out of 4 of the cigars. I started smoking these when they had the cloth band, and while I love the flavor, I really hate it when I get...

    recycling boxes...

    This relates to another thread in a way, with regard to manufacturers spending a lot on packaging to make up for what the cigar lacks. I've always thought that Padron were excellent cigars for the price. Perhaps they keep the price down by recycling their boxes. If so, then I think all...
