As of late I've noticed I can quite accurately determine whether a cigar I'm about to smoke will have tight draw, be too loose, or just right simply by feeling the cigar with the typical pinch technique. I've accurately judged the draw on the last 5 cigars I've pulled out of my humi so far...

OK, so today I went through 3 more cigars so I figured it's time I can actually write a review. First the Palio: I bought the Carbon Fiber finished model cause the Burl Wood is kinda harder to find in stock and as it turns out I think this model fits me better. Anyhow, the Palio cuts like a...

I know in the past I've read a lot of people say they stick their cigars in their humi's the way they came. So if they're in cellophane or in plastic or glass tubes that's how they keep them. Well, I just bought a box of 10 Bolivar Suntuoso En Tubos and was wondering something. If they're in...

Up till today I've had good success with my month or so old Nibo Space 6 dual jet lighter. Today I was lighting a second cigar, while outdoors but not windy, and it started acting up. Had to light it dozens of times to get the stogie started, was quite annoying. To make matters worse... I placed...

So, I have been curious about Bolivar for some time now and really can't explain why. Guess they just "looked" yummy. Anyhow, I posted a few days back asking opinions about three brands, this being one of them. It seems Bolivar have not such a great rep. Even reviews I've read of them are pretty...

I've been looking at Bolivar, Excalibur, and H. Upmann. What are your opinions on these brands? BTW, thanks for the replies in my other thread. I want to keep that thread going without taking it off track by asking about these specific brands - hence the seperate thread. Any personal opinions...

I have two cutters currently. One is the guillotine type and the other is the typical dual curved blade type. Both are cheapo under $15 types. I've noticed I'd like a quicker cleaner cut than the cheapo $15 curved blade is giving me and am actually thinking the guillotine might be doing a better...

**I searched earlier but didn't find any threads with the same question so if it's been asked before and I missed it mods please close and give me a link and I'll post there. So, I know we all like cigars from many different manufacturers... but so far which manufacturer(s) have given you the...

So today I had my first Rocky Patel Vintage 92 cigar. I'll start with some observations and such. The cigar was perfectly humidified, pinched just perfect and was bought from a local ship with a great walk in humidor then went to my 70% humidity humidor. Two days later (today) I lit it up. First...

Recently I had posted about another topic and in the post complained about the prices a small local cigar shop was charging when I was seeing average online prices that equated to nearly half what I'm paying. I was told this is normal for brick & mortar stores. So my question is, is this...

Hi all. Tonight I picked up two sweet looking Rocky Patel cigars. One is an African with a nice dark oily wrapper and the other is a Vintage 1992. Well, it wasn't till I got home that I realized that I could swear reading some stuff here in the "Worst cigar you ever smoked" type threads where I...

So, I was at a local shop in Hoboken and was picking out cigars. Now, I love this shop, though their prices seem seriously inflated now that I've compared with online retailers. Anyhow, I picked up a few cigars and found a nice looking batch of Montecristo's on the bottom shelf. Well, thank God...

Hi all. I'm new to cigars, only been smoking them since February and only about 1-2 a week. I bought a humidor a few weeks ago as I've started buying more at one time and didn't want them to dryout being I smoke infrequently. Anyhow, I've done a heck of a lot of reading on the net about cigars...
