    ACID: Ming Dynasty - HALP

    Only had the Acid 1 out of those three, and honestly, I wasn't a fan. I mean, it wasn't bad by any means, but that doesn't make it good. The Nasty and the Wafe are, at the moment, my favorites. EDIT: I guess in appreciating things for what they are, rather than what I'd like them to be, my...

    ACID: Ming Dynasty - HALP

    Indeed, I honestly don't remember the Ming, just that I liked it... it was the gold labels that made me gag. Then again, at the time I was... well... it was a long night. Too bad they called it Ming Dynasty, they should have simply gone with Dynasty (which is what some stores are selling it at...

    Green Air Machine (and Csonka) review

    Honestly... I'm not totally convinced on the ozone thing... I found the best thing is to simply run this and then wipe down the floor the next day. Wiping gets any flakes of ash that might have fallen, and it seems that the smoke likes to settle on the floor as there's black... soot(?) whenever...

    ACID: Ming Dynasty - HALP

    So, I ordered some ACID cigars last week, and they came today... I like a couple of them, sue me - most are crap though. :( Anyway, it all started in the Spring, my friend got me a sampler tin, and some of them nearly made me throw up (Toast) while others were scrumptious (Extra Ordinary...

    What was your first cigar?

    5 Vegas Gold Robusto We were going to a convention and somehow I got roped into putting together some cigar event (failed horribly) and having never smoked a cigar (why me, what the hell) I decided to grab one before the drive up to the bay. It was a 5 Vegas Gold and I fell in love... from...

    Is this crazy plume, or mold?

    Agreed! Haha, it's too bad a place can't have bother nice ambiance and decent prices... *sigh*

    Henri Winterman's

    I ended up buying Henri Winterman's Cafe Creme Oriental Aroma cigarillos (what a freaking name) the other week. I opened them up upon receiving to an extremely strong aroma of macaroon cookies. After cleaning up I was having thoughts that were a little less than positive... you see, the Acid...

    Ever Had A Cigar You Didn't Want To End?

    Santa Damiana - Got it from CI in a brown bag sampler and put it aside a few months ago cause it looked a little questionable - There were some nice sticks in there, Power, Gurkha, and the like - but this was one of the 2-3 that looked less than appealing. Wouldn't you know it would turn out to...

    Is this crazy plume, or mold?

    i also saw a guy literally throwing cigars back into their boxes... like, from 3-4 feet away. Of course the owner didn't bother him, just me cause I was taking longer than a couple minutes! :(

    Is this crazy plume, or mold?

    I'm not too surprised - cigar shops around here seem to be booming, if you will - there are 2-3 huge lounges within half a mile of each other. While that's awesome, it means prices are ridiculous and the shop owners are - from what I've seen, profiteering douche bags... I was in their walk in...

    Is this crazy plume, or mold?

    I was looking at the horribly over priced cigar shops around Pasadena (100%+ over MSRP is the standard) and came across some interesting stuff - only one picture though. First, the picture, is the plume or mold... or perhaps something else? This shop had a lot of super high end stuff and not...

    What's this?

    I got a random sampler, and I have no idea what this cigar is! Any help would be awesome, here's a pic:

    Green Air Machine (and Csonka) review

    Hey guys, so - I live in LA (Pasadena), making smoking outside totally fine year round - that said, I also have a projector, and a nice movie and a stogie is always great, right? I'm also probably moving back to the Bay Area (berkeley I think) in the winter, where smoking at night, well, it's...

    Emergency Storage?

    I agree with both of you, haha. I have a 20 count box, a 100 count chest, and an Anithime or whatever cabinet. 20 count for damaged sticks - for when I won't mind a stick potentially exploding. A 100 count to hold 1-2 of everything I have so there's always something I want on hand, and then the...

    Emergency Storage?

    Not all your eggs in one basket indeed... I woke up the other day to find my 100 count chest at 85%, letting it air out a bit and closing it resulted in a burst Nub - nicely enough, the exact cigar I wanted to smoke when I opened it and found it in ruin. :mad:

    Emergency Storage?

    Fair enough... I think there's a WalMart somewhere around here, they have big ones for pennies right? I figure if I'm going to get a cooler, I'm going to get a large one. No sense in getting a small one if I'm only going to be upgrading again later right? :/ My only real reason not to is...

    Emergency Storage?

    Alright, due to some amazingly favorable events taking place, I feel that within the next week or so I'll have more cigars than will fit in my humidor. I don't really want to get a coolerdor as I'm sure I'll be spreading the luck around and sharing with friends and what not, and I don't intend...

    Free sample from Clints Cigars

    ACK, I forgot my apartment number! :( Well, I submitted it again with the number, but I dunno if they'll get it, or just see it's the same person and get rid of it, send them without the number, etc, etc... *sigh* woe is me.

    Cohiba store at The Block (OC, CA)

    I went by the Cohiba store while I was at The Block yesterday, I was going to see Pineapple Express, saw the store, had to go in. I noticed their very very few of their cigars were in any kind of humidor... most of them were just in open cigar boxes... still in their cellophane, but all the...
