A decent article: http://www.explorernews.com/articles/2008/08/13/el_sol/doc48a2253955280915513532.txt Ninja Vanish gets a dig in at some of the old line snobs, about 3/4 way down when he is quoted about cigar tastes that some people claim. I'm sure you will recognize the line when you read...

I purchased 2 fivers from this thread: http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=169107 Got them in today, broke the cello on one fresh from the shipping box. Cello still sealed nicely, band glue mostly gone, band fell off with the cello. Cello was well yellowed, but not dry or cracked...

Well, nearly naked. It's been a couple of months since I stashed the three coolers in the deep, dark recesses of my man closet (you know, the smaller of the master bedroom closets!). My wife is out of town, kids both at work, I'm home alone, time to make a quality control inspection...

SUPERB! If I was giving a one word review, that would be it! I recently picked up a fiver of these off on the Devil, and added them to my Tat drawer in my humi. Along with these five, there was a single that has been resting since last summer sometime, when I picked up my very first Tats at a...

Paired with Woodford Reserve, Master's Collection, Four Grain! This maduro has is one of a fiver I got off cbid, probably 18 or more months ago, and has been sitting in my humi, in cello only, since that time. I have handled and moved these five around for many months, but never felt the urge...

I'm looking for a gauge here from BOTLs that purchased, or looked seriously at purchasing( those would answer the poll based on the "available" options) Anejos this past year (mainly the December supply of these). I personally ran across Anejos at only one of the B & M's that I use, and ended...

... or the pure cigar collector. Can't imagine actually purchasing this, much less, smoking it, after paying that price for one! http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=410871 I thought this was someone bidding in error, but according to the write-up, must be serious! Gotta think there...

I made a noob mistake this weekend. I have even offered advise to others on how to avoid this mistake, and I make it myself! What a dunce!:rolleyes: Anyway, my mistake will be someone's gain! The setting: Saturday morning, decent day, clear weather, morning temps in the 70's, climbing to...

Current Problem: Tunneling Quirk to the problem: Seems to be happening only in the last 1/3 to 1/2 of the stick, haven't had an issue in the first 1/2 of any of the sticks! Specifics: No pattern that I can see. I experience it on cigars from all four of my "smoke 'em now" humidors, with...

I think I may be running under false assumptions! I have always assumed that Belicosos Fina referred to a specific shape and size of cigar, i.e. as in torpedo shape, around 5 1/2 to 6 inches or so, and somewhere around a 55-60 RG. ALL cuban belicosos finos I have fit this shape/size, and I had...

A look at my past, my current time, and a warning (or maybe just a suggestion) to newbies (talking about those new to cigars, not experienced cigarheads that are simply new to the Jungle). Back in my earlier days of cigar puffing, I chanced to smoke a N/C punch, on a crappy day (weather...

I have a deal pending with King Cat that I will mail out payment tomorrow, a purchase with MoTheMan that my money is in the mail on, and a trade with Lt Rich. It seems like there is something out there that I am missing, but don't know it that's the case, or maybe just my poor memory playing...

She caught me with my cigars spread all over the bed, drawers pulled out of main humi, all four chest type humis open and half emptied, trying to figure out where I was going to store all my smokes so that I would have room for incoming fivers from KingCat. I just don't have enough room to...

A recent comment from Palm55 (http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=19145) Got me wondering. Has anyone traded cigars for other goods or services (other than on CS and other cigar forums). I have traded cigars with shop owners a time or two, but was mostly giving a cigar as a gift to...

This cigar is from a shop in Jackson Mississippi that I visited last week while in that town. It is the 4 inch by 50 RG size stick. Probably could have let it sit for a little longer, but could not wait. Have had it out to smoke for 4 days, and was like a dollar burning a hole in my pocket...

I've been letting the RD Gomez sampler I purchased in October rest a little in my humi. I was looking for a short smoke this evening (windy and cold outside), and decided I had left this particular stick alone long enough. Initial reactions: Nice job of presentation, cedar wrapping below...

OK, here's the deal: I tend to be a "collector" of things I like. I have coins, CSA paper money, stamps, geological specimens, gemstones, and of course, cigars. Most of these items I have purchased over time. A limited number of items are ones that I have actually "found". For the most...

Never too experienced. To fall down I doesn't matter that I now consider myself experienced, and no longer a newbie. It does not matter that I have warned others time and time again. It doesn't matter that I should, and do, know better. It doesn't matter that I have half a dozen humi's...

<<< I've been punked. Haven't checked by who, yet (don't know how, but Ninja should be able to point me to the way). However, I have a sneaky feeling that a "soft" heart might have been involved!!! :r

Mr. Gomez was kind enough to offer a freebie cigar to Club Stogie Members, and I was kind enough to take him up on his offer. I chose the Honduran Connecticut Shade (Claro size) as my freebie. About a week later, the stick arrived in the mail. It was shipped in a ziplock with a wet strip of...
