    Which Online Retailer Do You Order From?

    CI, Cbid, and recently Mydiscountcigar.com ($70 box of Padron Delicias)... Service-wise, I'm sure they are all comparable. Shop around.

    La Aroma de Cuba

    I enjoy these a lot. Slightly spicy with lots of smooth nutty, cocoa flavor. Consistently burns inconsistent. Requires some lighter skills to keep them even. I picked up a 5'er on Cbid for $15 or so. Great flavor, great aroma. Good price.

    La Flor Dominicana?

    La Flor Dominicanas are good. But there's only one way to know for sure.

    Does anyone not like Padron?

    Grab a Delicias or Londres for 45-60 minutes of Quality Time. Excellent aroma, rich, smoothe flavor. Never bitter or pungent. It never fails to satisfy. :ss

    Review - Sancho Panza Double Maduro

    I had a Double Maduro yesterday and it was as good as you all said, and as good as I remember. I walked in the walk-in humidor for a Padron, but opted for the Panza, and wasn't disappointed.

    Dependable Smoke?

    For the price, nothing beats the Padron Delicias. A small 25-25 minute smoke, perfect draw, rich flavor, consistently awesome and at $3 a pop... It's my choice for dependability.

    How to bring an old humi back to life....

    I found an old used humidor at the local second-hand shop for 5 bucks. It's spanish cedar, dry as a bone. I wiped down the inside with distilled water, and dropped a jar of the humidifying crystals in it. Hygrometer reads 60-65% rh, good enough for me. That's all you need to do.

    Cheaper Cigars

    I second the Padrons. I really like the Padron Delicias, and for $3 a piece, can't be beat. Also try Sancho Panza and Flor de Oliva. Generally speaking though, if you get accustomed to the $10+ smokes, it'll be hard to completely enjoy an under $5 cigar. :2

    La Riqueza

    I think most cigars will leave some sort of aftertaste. Even after a couple tooth brushings, it often still lingers. I doubt if stinky breath is exclusive to smoking La Riquezas. The dude at my local shop says Pete Johnson (Tatuaje founder) modelled them directly after a Henry Clay cigar. Not...

    what are the pros and cons of punches

    I use both. But lately, I've been using a steel bullet shell casing with a sharpened rim edge. It actually works quite well. As with even good cutters, sometimes the wrapper can crack when using it. But 90% of the time, it offers a clean perfect shaped cut. For me, a 7mm magnum rifle bullet...

    Why do you smoke?

    Because when you have a cigar, You really can't do anything else. Except sip on a drink or flip through a good book. You have the length of a cigar to be on 100% "you" time. I like the smoke, its flavor and aroma. While I feel relaxed, nicotine is a stimulant. I actually feel invigorated. Good...

    Worst Cigar Ever

    A friend of mine bought a couple fake Cohibas from a beachfront liqour store near Santa Cruz. The label actually said "Cobiba"!! Now that was some funky funky stuff! It tasted like horsehair and roadkill wrapped in used toilet paper. Don't ask me why the hell we actually smoked those things to...
