I trying my way around Rum though I am to much on the over powering vanilla I have gotten. I've drank a bottle of the CM Private Stock and working on a bottle of Goslings, but these seem to have too much of that vanilla than what I care for. I've had a bit of the Pyrat XO which did not seem to...

So I was heading to a late softball game last night and grabbed an Edge for the trip. I figured I only had around 40min to smoke before I needed to prep for the game & the toro would need more time than that, so I took the cutter down past half way and chopped it in two. I smoked the large...

Battling the dryness during the winter by adding more moisture to the cooler and I got a little careless I guess. Had a gut feeling but I ignored it and bam, my cigars were being fondled by furry mold. Unfortunately I had to dump a few premiums and some cheaper cigars, but I'm going to try to...

Decided to pick up a few cigars for the weekend horseshoe tourny and of course I made my way over to the RP AO. And damned if there wasn't 4 or 5 boxes of different Edge's and one was the Sumatra. To my surprise and definitely to my delight Rocky just added to the variety of his cigars. I...

Caught Jim Morrison in an interview having a cigar. The photo is linked to the video.

Made a run downtown to Kremer's to pick up a Tatuaje or 4 and found the shelf empty. Now, I went down there not because of convenvience but because of prices. The closest place to me is Oxmoor Smoke Shoppe, but most cigars have a high price tag on them so I prefer a few more minutes in the...

Scoll to the bottom for the abridged review with no filler. unabridged review: It's been a rough week at work, so I brought in a cigar on Thursday to sit outside and relax a bit on lunch. So it was a CFSG that I plopped into my shirt as I headed out to work. Working thru the mucked up morning...

I've had a couple of these and they are pretty good. Don't take that as good in "RP Vintage" or "PSD4" good. For these prices they are hard to beat for a good inexpensive smoke. http://www.cigarsinternational.com/html/spec_wkly.asp Aristoff was a fancy-schmancy boom brand that originally...

A spin off of the thread in the Habanos Lounge, I was wondering if there were cigars that could be potential classics. There are a number of NC classics, e.g. 1st release Anejos. Could the RP Vintage fall into this? How much stock do they have of these cigars? I'd image some where down the...

STANFORD J. NEWMAN: 1916-2006, dies at 90 The first link is for CA mag. The second link seems to give a little more info on what happened. http://www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar/CA_Features/CA_Feature_Basic_Template/0,2344,1577,00.html...

I have an old Continental lighter which was my father in-laws and thought I'd make it work. How do I change the wick? The top lighting mechanism resembles the one in the photo. Do I unscrew the small cyclinder which the wick comes out of? If it were just mine I'd apply visegrips and test it...

What is the best laquer or polyurethane to use to finish a wooden ashtray? I have no intentions to kiln dried this project. Really looking at what won't burn fromt he heat of the cigar. Can I use the same poly I used to finish my hardwood floors?:r I still have 1/2 a bucket. Was going to...

Received damaged mail yesterday and jgrimball thought it would be a good idea to share this as kind of a warning, I believe. He had sent 2 cutters and some small cigars, couldn't tell you what, in an envelope which was ripped apart. I'm guessing the contents were bunched together and became...

Always wondering what I could use to hold beads and last night it hit me. Gerber food jars. Holds an once easily and is small enough to be used in most desk tops. I trashed the lid since it seemed there was still a slight smell from either the food or plastic seal. Though I didn't want to...

There have been a number of threads of people asking for good locations to pickup some cigars while out of town. I was thinking that there should be an easier way to quickly find a good shop with good recommendations. I created a map from the site which Altbier did for everyone to put in their...

I visisted Kremer's one day on lunch and David Blanco was there with their new cigars. I picked up the Criollo, Maduro, and Sumatra. Last night I fired up the Criollo while raking some leaves; yes in the dark. I started this cigar off with 4 people asking me how/why I was going to rake...

I haven't been able to have too many smokes lately just from being sick and not wanting to sit out in the cold at night, so......I left for lunch and brought in one of the Dark Knights gifted to me by punch and decided a drive down to Kremers would be a good way to spend lunch and have a smoke...

I just received my new humidor and it is beautiful. It is only 40ct, but it is for the living room table to look good and store some smokes for when people come over. I will soon be launching the project of tupper/cooler-dor. I have a few questions because I do want to make some seperation in...
