Mods, not sure if this is ok in General Cigar Discussion, or if it should be in HERF Information. Please move the thread if you see fit. Last night, I met up with ucubed, wayner123 and floydpink at Corona Cigar Company on Sand Lake Road in Orlando, FL. Left to right: ucubed, wayner123...

For various reasons, I have not smoked a cigar for about 2 months. I have a nearly full 150 ct humi full of tobacco goodness in the bedroom closet waiting for me. My problem: All of my cigars now have a kind of musty/ammonia type smell. My questions: 1. Any ideas what caused it? 2. Can...

I've never heard of Clints Cigars. Searched for Clints, got no hits. My wife sent me a link where you can request a free sample. http://www.clintscigars.com/sample.php I just requested mine. Anybody ever heard of these guys?

Hi guys: How do you all dispose of your cigar butts? I live in an apartment, and smoke only out on our patio. The last thing I want is to bring a cigar butt into the house, throw it in the trash, and have that "ashtray" scent linger. I was flushing them down the toilet, but the darn thing...

Hi guys: I ordered from Thompson a few months ago. It was a sampler that was a good deal, and it was before I knew anything about cigars, and before I had discovered Club Stogie. Now, of course, I get bombarded by constant emails and monthly catalogs. I don't really mind the catalogs, they...

So, I mentioned to my wife the other day that SilverFox had a really nice cigar dossier. We looked up the price and it was a tad too rich for our blood. But, knowing that my birthday was coming up, my wife decided to use her brain and make me one. Here's what she came up with.

After my spending spree last week, and some trades and bombs, my humi is officially full. I went from a 20 ct to a 150, and thought I would never fill that sucker. Now it's bursting at the seams. Thanks guys, for pushing another schmuck down the slope!

So, I bit on the "free cigar for filling out our survey" deal from Cigarfox. I browsed their site and thought, "hey, these guys have pretty good prices, I'll place an order." Well, my order arrived today, and I am not happy. The order was shipped via UPS. I was disappointed that I received no...

I have seen several posts warning newbies to not store heavily flavored cigars, like ACID's with their others, as the scent of the ACID's will tend to bleed onto the non-flavored ones. I get that part. My question is: I just got an ACID sampler. I have a small 20-count humi, which was my first...

So, I had a really crappy morning resulting in over $200 in car repair that needs to happen. I decided to treat myself to some new sticks. I got an ACID sampler and a bunch of singles. If you can't see the bands on these, here's what I bought: Acid Tin: Extra Ordinary Larry 6x60...

My wife's family is pondering doing a big "let's rent a beach house for a week and get all of us together" vacation in the Dominican Republic. Of course, I immediately think, "Ooh, cigar field trip!" So, are Cuban cigars available in the DR? If not, why? Does DR have an embargo on Cuba like...

Hi Guys: I got some heartfelt beads, and I messed up. They're all soaked/clear. How can I dry them out?

I was reading the Big List of Cigars - Good Newb Starter thread, and I saw Sosa cigars on the list at #38. A year ago, when I readily acknowledged that I knew nothing about cigars, I still knew some brand names, namely Macanudo, Montecristo, La Gloria Cubana, Partagas, and Arturo Fuente. I had...

I've seen a bit about dry-boxing cigars you intend to smoke soon. How do you all do it? In an old, empty cigar box? In a small humidor with say, 60% beads instead of 70% beads? Does it really make a difference? This newbie needs your advice, please.

So, I got a new 150 ct humidor, and I'm on a mission to fill it. Check out my shopping spree! http://csoto01.zenfolio.com The password to view the album is clubstogie Y'all let me know what you think! Cheers, Tenor CS

Tonight, I smoked a Don Lino 1989 Robusto Maduro ... and it kicked my ass. I think I have my first nicotine buzz headache. I didn't realize that such a small cigar would pack such a punch. I had a pretty big dinner tonight, (pork chop, mashed potatoes, and a salad) and I was drinking plenty...

Hi guys: After reading so many positive comments re: the heartfelt beads, I just placed an order with them. I even got the 10% "vacation discount." I ordered a 1/2 lb of 65% beads and a bunch of empty tubes. With this order I'll be able to outfit my big (150 ct) humidor, my small (15 ct)...

Has anyone used these? I just got a gorgeous 150 ct humidor from cheaphumidors.com. It's got 4 boveda seasoning packets in it now. The directions say to wait for 10 days. The wait is KILLING me! I also have a cheapy 15-20 ct humidor. It was one of those "buy $100 worth of cigars, get a free...

Hello B&SOTL: In my Looking forward to my first Opus X thread, I noticed two other teachers posted replies about having a special cigar to end the school year. I was wondering if any of you fellow educators would be interested in doing a little networking, sharing both cigar and education...

So, I've heard a lot about the Opus X. I went on a bit of a shopping spree the other night, and picked one up. I can't wait to fire that mother up. But I will wait ... until June 9. See, I'm a teacher, and that is my last day of work for this school year. I think such an occasion calls for a...
