    I finally found a cigar I LOVE...

    ... and the best part is that it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. It is the Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon. (can be had for <$4 a stick) I have now had three of these... one was over a year ago, and I hated the flavor! About a week ago, I was going on a short car trip and needed something that I...

    Shilala's Beads

    As a few of you might know, about 1 month ago I had a series of minor crises regarding my cigars. I may have slightly over purchased, and I was suffering the effects of the SUPER humid St Louis summer. The fraction of cigars I could fit into humis were hanging right around 75%-80%!!!:mad: While...

    Shoot - I definitely overbought

    Ok, so about a month ago, I told some people I was looking for a new humidor as I had filled my 1'st 100ct. I eventually settled on a nice one from Taboo- one of their daily deals. While waiting for it to arrive, I picked up a few extra sticks, because oh what the heck? I will have room for...

    Humidity Help!

    Hey everyon, I just got back from my trip and checked the humidor- while my built in hygro read a solid 65%, the stogies inside were mushy and soggy to the touch! Upon closer inspection, I noticed that a bunch of the wrappers had burst near the foot.:mad::mad: Im bummed out because a bunch of...

    Mixed feelings: Taboo

    So I was gifted my first few taboo sticks and I have been really excited to smoke them! I smoked a HSG lancero - incredible. Tasty and perfect burn. I smoked a SF robusto and it was a champ and a power house. Awesome taste, really bold flavor. I will be buying more! Now, the stick I was most...

    Xikar 3 finger travel case?

    Does anyone have one of these? I am very close to pulling the trigger. I like the idea of the cedar inside. Do oyu guys think this would stand up to a little bit of travel (heading to boston in a week or two, would probably stuff this in my carry on.) Would I be better off getting a 5 stick...

    My Take on the Padron 1964

    I just celebrated my return to cigars with this gem. All things considered, this ranks as one of my all time favorite smokes: definitely in my top 5 cigars of all time. The size I smoked was about 6.5 x 46: this gave a great balance of flavor and heat of the smoke. (just as a note: I tend to...

    RyJ Reserva Real

    Hey everyone. This is my first review so cut me some slack! :D I will attempt to describe the experience first then go on to give me opinion on stogie. Sorry, but this time, no pictures. My digital camera wasn't handy and I wanted a smoke. To start off, the cigar was beautiful. It had a...

    Reviews Question.

    Since I am pretty new to the whole cigar thing, I like to read up on reviews from anywhere I can (top25, CI, CA...) All these sources leave me with the same question: What is with their scales? Most places say they give a score out of 100, but I have NEVER seen a review lower than 80. So...
