    Fonseca Cubano Limitado Toro Gordo

    This has been a great weekend, premium smokes Friday night through Sunday morning (8 in total). Sunday night I decide to dig deep into the humidor and try find something to surprise me and end the weekend off right. Out pops a Fonseca Cubano Limtado Toro Gordo. This either came in a sampler or I...

    Standing a cigar upright

    Guys, you are going to think I am nuts, but when my cigars get to ~2 inches, instead of resting them in the ashtray horizonally, I stand them up vertically (I tend to smoke bigger RG). Anyway, since I started doing this, I am able to get cool smoke to the nub on almost any stick. It seems to...

    What is similar to RyJ Bully

    Guys, My brother smokes the RyJ bully, problem is, it seems to be all he smokes (he is a light smoker -- 1-2 per month so I figure he always ends up buying a few and not changing). I have smoked these a long time ago and my memory is a little hazy. I did not buy more so was not blown away. I...

    Sweetest Cameroons

    I have been on an absolute Cameroon diet lately. It started a few weeks back with a CAO Cameroon and I have been smoking everything cameroon in the humidors and ordering more. So far, here are my rankings (BTW, 1 and 2 could be switched, it is VERY close in my books). 1) Perdomo La Tradional...

    Chateau Real Maduro Cristal

    Right off the bat, let it be aware that I love the regular Chateau Reals (especially in this size). As with all DE products, the construction of this cigar is flawless. The maduro wrapper is a nice dark brown, somewhat rough (toothy?) wrapper. It seemed oily but by no means glistening with oil...

    isolated mold

    I found a single stick with some mold in one of my tupperdors tonight. I have inspected every stick in the box and there are no signs of mold on any other sticks. I have of course removed the moldy stick, but there was enough mold on this that I am suprised (although of course not upset) that no...

    smell vs taste

    I love the smell of "leathery" cigars when they burn but dislike the taste immensely. Anyone else have a wierd preference like this?

    Shipping trouble with the Devil

    Guys, anyone had shipping trouble with the devil. I won 9 bids last week as I tumbled down the slope, and UPS kindly delivered the package tonight and 2/3 of the cigars were missing! I have opened a ticket with them but I am not impressed. They did not miss a beat charging my CC the full...

    Had a wow smoke tonight

    It has been raining for several days. I hate smoking indoors so have been smoke free since Sunday. The clouds clear tonight, the air is fresh, its time to smoke, but I fear being Oregon it could rain at any time. So I start looking through the humidors for something small and stumble on a couple...

    help me price sampler

    Guys, A pal wants to buy a sampler from me. Lets say its time he starts paying. That said, I dont want to rip him, just cover my costs (which are hard for me to determine for so many bought with samplers, different shipping, etc) so I will just give him a fair price determine by the masses...

    I lost control again

    So, I am absolutely out of room in my humis (2x 150ct, 2x 20ct, 1x 15ct and 2x 30ct tupperdor). Promised myself no more and that I would have to smoke some room into the humidors, no more humidors,etc. This is my 10 day haul since I made that commitment not to buy. 5 Rocky Patel Fusion Toro 5...

    Found a beetle hole

    I had a large tupperdor with about 50 cigars in it, all cigars where in cello. I finally decided to get a new humi which arrived today so it was time for the cigars to come out of the tupperdor and their cello into the humi. The cigars had been sealed in the humi for at least 2 weeks (nothing...

    Devil Site infuriates me!

    So, I was locked in on a bid which ends Saturday. Then, yesterday in quickies, the same item comes up. I cannot afford two so dare not bid. I watch as the price sits low the entire day and some lucky guy walks away with a screaming deal. This morning I wake up to find that I have been outbid on...

    Gurkha Titan

    Guys, My searching skills could be sketchy on Sunday mornings so I did not find an answer to this. But what do people think of the Gurkha Titan? There are crazy deals for these floating around right now. Are they overhyped or good? top25 seems to like them but the comments about body/flavor...

    Beads plus Gel

    I did a search and did not find anything. I uses beads in all my humis. However, I also keep a small container of gel in each. Once the beads are charged and the humi seasoned, I only add to gel when needed, never the beads. I very rarely have to add to the gel either. I hold rock steady at 70%...

    magnetic stickies

    I am looking for a source (can be Home Depot, etc) for magnetic stickies to secure humi-pucks, hygros, etc to the lid of my humidors. I cannot find them and get looks of confusion at home depot, etc. Does anyone know where I can find these? thx

    Drew Estate Natural Storage

    Guys, I dont want to flame up a DE debate again, but I have a question regarding their storage. I keep all flavored cigars (I have about 7) in a mini travel humidor (this includes a few CAO flavours for those that like them and the ACIDS which I wont touch anymore). However, I actually like...

    best decription ever

    OK, so I am looking at picking up some Cohiba black on todayscigar and went to read reviews at top25. Anyway, I hope this is not one of you guys, but this description just flawed me: "This is an extraordinary cigar...complex beyond imagination, with flavors of Almond, Amaretto, espresso...

    Taboo Twist, to age, or not to age, that is the question

    Guys, Just got my first order of Taboo Twists (Toro). Needless to say enough has been said about Rob's super fast nuclear blast resistance shipping and the great look of these cigars (although, I would drop the word cigar from the band and just leave it as Taboo). That aside, I got 5 to start...
