    When was the last time you were WOWED...

    I'd have to say it was my first Monte # 2 next to a campfire. Have had other Montes # 2 since then but lacking the same WOW factor of that original one. Jorge

    I finally found a cigar I LOVE...

    I'm glad you enjoyed it.This cigar got ratings in the upper 90's from CA a few years ago, whatever that means. I remember trying it back then and I was not impressed. I've tried the Virtuoso line as well and it was OK. I really don't find the Toranos to be my cup of tea. Jorge

    Taboo scammed me... WTF

    Were you puffing on it with your head sideways on the table and no hands? That is unfreakingbelievable! Jorge

    Tatuaje recommendations

    I remember trying a Tat a couple of years ago. I did not particularly enjoyed it back then but, as you know, when it comes to cigars taste is one of those things that evolves with time. Right now I am a DPG fanatic so I want to try a Tatuaje closely resembling that profile or one that had DPG...

    Can't go wrong with these. Have you tried the toro size? I keep both in my humi and the toro is even better. Jorge

    Container for beads?

    I just ordered some Rh beads for a brand new large cabinet humidor. So far I have used Oasis foam material so I will be using beads for the first time. My question is, I have read several threads mentioning the use of cloth bags and such for the beads, is that a requirement? Or could I just...

    My Cabinet Humi Project

    This cabinet is a work of art. Congratulations ! I like the black paint finish with the gun metal knobs. Question, what did you do to ensure a hermetic seal on those doors? Did you get a chance to test it yet? Jorge

    Best brandy?

    I'm not an expert but I like Cardenal Mendoza and Torres 10. I have never been much of a cognac fan. Jorge

    Rums over $30

    Zacapa centenario is the best rum in the world bar none. The XO is the best Zacapa hast to offer. My wife gave me the XO collector's edition comes in a neat case with two Reidel glasses. Nectar of the gods!

    Single Malt Scotch of Choice

    I am biased towards Islay malts. Talisker and Laphroaig would be my first choice, Bowmore is more accesible to my pocket. Right now I am consuming a McClelland, not bad for the price. Jorge

    Here are pics of my cache of weapons (these obvioulsy are located indoors). The lower cabinet colorful door panels are my creation, a collage of bands from my last 5 years of smokes... Jorge

    Smoking man cave ready for operation

    Awesome caves guys!:tu There is something special about puffing smokes indoors. I was relegated to the patio. So instead of a "cave" I have a "cigarden". Our weather allows for such a fixture except perhaps for 1-2 weeks a year. I'll be posting pics later. Jorge

    Cigar ABC puzzler

    Budha: We must give credit to cigracyclopedia for those. AW, the Xikar cigar would not count since its name is Defiance. I've found a couple of additional obscure cigars too: Xerez and Yumuri. As a matter of fact, the latter had great reviews as a matter of fact.... Jorge

    Cigar ABC puzzler

    A BOTL friend of mine and I played this cigar trivia game a few days ago. Very simple. Whoever can name cigar brands the fastest starting from A to Z. We spitted out brands even for exotic letters like Q (Quorum), Z (Zino) or K (Kahlua). We got stuck with X and Y. A search in the Top25 cigar...

    Ronson Tech Torch (Micro Torch)

    I had one of those Harbor Freight torches and it worked fine for about 3 years until the ignition mechanism died on me last week. I did not care for the orange color on that one so I sprayed painted it flat/metal black. I guess I'd have the same issue with the color on that Ronson. Right now I'm...

    any opinions about...

    I tried one and it was a very nice full bodied smoke. I did not purchase this one and I understand they are pricey. I dislike the Acids, I am not too fond of the Naturals but this one was very good.:tu Jorge

    What NC is most like an ISOM stick?

    Sure. I believe the two babes are cousins but for some reason I believe DPG is not related to them.:ss
