Outside with a bottle in a paper bag lol. Ontario is 100% smoke free in public buildings etc so there is nowhere to sit while you smoke a stick.

They do tell every one that lol! Or that's what they told me at least. Too funny. :D

Kettle, meet black! LOL :laugh:

Here you go. Both sides represented, again 5,9,10 are 2005 and 13, 17 are 2007. They look pretty simlilar as far as the red goes. I would say the white/red stripes bordering the red area are thicker on the newer bands. Also the new bands say "Cuba" on one side and "Habana" on the other while...

Different styles of bands are certainly out there as you can see in this picture. Sticks 5,9 and 10 are all from 2005 and 13 and 17 are from 2007 (17 is a rerelease). You can really see a distinct difference in the brown color of the ring and the quality of the embossing between the two years...

I wrote this on another forum, updated slightly it certainly applies to this thread. The original thread can be found here: http://www.internationalcigarclub.com/foru...read.php?t=5220 Here is a list of the books that I have collected so far with a summary and some thoughts. All of these I...

My secret is to run a lot of group buys. That way you get the visceral excitement of spending thousands on cigars but it really takes very little out of your pocket. You get to hunt down the good deals and make connections with tons of vendors etc. The vendors like you, your CC company likes...

All the tips are supposed to point the same way are they not? Assuming you are presenting the leaves in the same orientaion as you removed them this would seem not to be the case. Is that what you're talking about?

Looks good. What did you have to do to get the original parts off?

This is a long one folks but I would appreciate you taking the time to comment. I also decided to cross-post this on several forums since not everyone reads everywhere and I would like to gain as much input as possible, so don't be surprised if you see it more than once. -----------...

I'm more interested in the Burkina Faso edition myself. It should have a nice Cameroon wrapper if nothing else. :whistling: As far as these not lasting long expect they will be available for a long time. There are not many people willing to pay Canadian retail prices, and I haven't heard...

I have an April 07 box that I have been enjoying. Enough that I have had to resist smoking them so at least a few have a chance to age. :D

It's the only time I've "tried" it and it wasn't the best experience. Maybe something to do with the shape of the Taco vitola versus a typical straight sided vitola. It definitely had a strange taste progression to. It was neat to have done once I was committed but I don't think I would bother...

You will also find that if you somehow (ie: drunkenly) light the wrong end of your Partagas Presidente (both ends taper, don't laugh, it could happen to you...) at about the 1/2 way point you will being to have an awful misshapen burning mess on your hands as the structural integrity of the...
