Out of curiosity, what RH do you maintain in your vino? I had a Mi Padre Le Bijou resting at 65% for five months and the wrapper refused to stay lit for the first half.

I was surprised to hear they had bundles left, because I had heard all the bundles had been spoken for. Regardless, happy I got my order in. :D

Just put my order in for a bundle. It sounds like a cigar that probably won't age well, since the spice/pepper notes are part of the appeal. PM me if you'd like a fiver. If you're in California, you can save on shipping.

Thanks for another great review. I just wish the tubos were smoking as well as the ORs.

I've had the same experience. I smoked my first about two weeks after they were released and wasn't very impressed. The second time around was more enjoyable after a few months down, but they still lack the depth and sweetness of the OR. That's usually my experience, though, when I try a larger...

I've got Viper's RH beads in my main humidors, but I use the Boveda's in my Cigar Caddy, which is only for short trips. I just wanted to hear what other user experiences were with re-hydrating these. I figure, if it can be rehydrated, why not? I'll keep testing out my re-hydrated pack and see...

Derek and BBS, How many times have you been able to successfully re-hydrate a single pack? Do they last as long the second round or do they start dropping in performance? My Boveda pack lasted me a year, the first time. If I can bet on a year each time, then this would be lower maintenance than...

My Boveda pack finally gave out after a solid year of service and I was wondering if there was a way to rehydrate the pack. I did a quick search and couldn't find any information on whether it was even possible; most people were saying the packs were one time use and then you had to throw them...

Ditto. I've only smoked the Tatuaje on this list, so it'd be nice to know the specific size of the others to try.

Thanks for the great review. I'll have to let my pair sit for a while, since they don't seem to be smoking that well. If I didn't like the Tatuaje Black so much, I probably wouldn't care for any of these "special" releases, but I keep paying to play.

Confirmed by the LA times, so now it's not just TMZ and its followers. I haven't heard anything about a suicide, but people don't just slip into coma's.

Pete Johnson hurts my wallet so good.

People out to make a quick buck will just find new ways to cheat others out of their money. Whether the embargo is lifted or not, I think fakes will just get harder and harder to spot. I don't know if factories will want to do much in the way of helping distinguish the genuine from the fakes...

Those cups are amazing! Now I need to find a distributor. :)

I bought the Unicorn Magnum Plus after reading reviews from Cooks Illustrated, etc. It really is as awesome as they say. The Magnum Plus produces a whole lot of pepper for each turn and you can adjust the grind settings to fit your needs perfectly. I used to own some pretty looking Peugeot from...
