    Pete Johnson @ Tatuaje Event - DFW TX

    Pete will be at a Tatuaje event at the Cigar Lounge in McKinney, TX on 11/12/08 from 5-9. There will also be a Gentleman Jack whiskey tasting going on. This is my local shop. It's a cool place to hang and they have a good selection. I'm actually sitting here smoking the new El Trianfador...

    I never saw that coming!

    Well as some of you.... Oh who am I kidding, no one has noticed that I haven't been around much lately, but I haven't. The last month has been really tough on me and I haven't had time for cigars or cigar forums really. So today I come home from work and find a note that I have a package...

    I finally got the pipe working

    Gunsandcigars88 came down tonight, and after a trip to the B&M he showed me how to properly pack and light the thing. My problem was insufficient lighting. I was convinced that my problem was the packing, but I just wasn't lighting it thoroughly. The tobacco wasn't helping. The stuff I had...

    My first cognac experience

    I got invited to a Remy Martin Cognac and Diamond Crown Maximus event last night. It was my first time to taste cognac, so I thought I would share my thoughts on it. They had the V.S.O.P., the 1738, and the XO available to sample. I started at the bottom and went up the line. I found the...

    Newb needs clarification

    I've gotten a few cigars that came in individual cigar ziplocs. Do you guys store these in the humi in the bag? Do you open them first? I have always left them in the ziploc, but opened the top of the ziploc to let the humidity in. Is this the best way to do it? Thanks, D

    Alright I need a suggestion

    I've tried quite a few beers lately, but they always leave me wanting something more. I tried a couple at a cigar shop VIP room the other night that let me know what I was missing. I'm interested in beers that I can find in a store with a decent selection (there are several close to me)...

    What did you NOT smoke today?

    So yesterday I had tons of work to be done. I finished up about 6:00, and then found out the wife was going to be gone most of the evening. I decide that I just might light up my first shark. After I finish working out I grab a bite to eat and decide that I will try something before I start...

    A little Castro news

    I was reading around this morning when I came across this, and I thought some of you might want to read it. Not that it would have ended the embargo, but it would have been a step in the right direction if this wouldn't have happened (although the step would have been so small that it was...

    Interesting CI offer for RP fans

    I'm on the fence when it comes to Rocky Patel sticks, but I know that there are some fans on the board that might be interested in these. The write-up has the scoop. I thought it sounded interesting: http://www.cigarsinternational.com/prodDisp.asp?item=CS-OQA D

    I got my first Anejos!

    I left work early yesterday to make a trip to the B&M. It was a good thing I did, because they were down to one box of Anejo's (46's). They were $10 each, and I just couldn't help myself. I picked up four of them (unfortunately I'd already spent too much on cigars this month). I missed the...

    Anything similar to Opus no. 5?

    My uncle is a big fan of the Opus no. 5's that we got him a couple months ago when they were at the local B&M. He particularly liked the strength and size of the stick, and I'm sure that the flavor profile is a factor as well. He has been a heavy cigarette smoker for 30 or so years, so he...

    MoeCizlak... another good newb

    As some of you know, I started a thread looking for some suggestions in a certain vein. One of the recommended sticks isn't carried by my B&M so Moe PM's me letting me know he has one I can try, which is a very generous offer in itself. He refused to let me pay for it. Well, I just got the...

    Full-bodied flavor profile without a huge nic hit?

    I've been smoking mainly strong, full-bodied cigars lately, but I'm beginning to tire with the ridiculous nic kick these things offer. There are times when I want that full-bodied flavor, but I don't want to OD on nicotine. Have you guys found sticks that offer a big, full-bodied flavor...

    Me and plugged cigars

    I'm batting about one in three with plugged cigars right now! That is really frustrating when you only get to smoke a couple of times a week. What's worse, I'm not buying junk 'gars. The last three have been: puros indios, a domestic partagas, and today, an HDM dark sumatra. The HDM really...

    Ever wonder about the sanity of the locals around you?

    In the last few visits to the B&M, I've begun to question the validity of the opinions of some of the locals. Their favorites leave me shaking my head. They don't think Opus is all that good really. They don't know who Don Pepin Garcia is. They think the Camacho Triple Maduro is the best...

    Camacho Triple Maduro

    I'm quite the newb. I've stayed out of reviewing for a while because I wanted to get a lot of smokes under my belt and develop my pallete. I guess it has been long enough, and it's time for me to start contributing a little more. This was one of the few impulse buys I've made at the B&M...

    How much aging are these likely to have?

    I have been smoking a lot of different cigars the last few weeks trying to find what does it for me. My initial favorite, the HDM Excalibur no. 1, is still the favorite. Right behind it are the AF Don Carlos and Cuban Beli. Anyway, I have been avoiding the excalibur as I still feel that I...

    Had my first cigar with a loose draw

    I decided to re-visit the AF line. AF was my first cigar, and the particular one I smoked was basically just spice, too mild, and had burn issues. I've been able to experience quite a few smokes since then and decided to give them another chance after reading so much good about them. I picked...

    Will this help my temp problems?

    I have a mini fridge I won that is serving as my humi for right now (this is only a temporary solution as it isn't very big). I know you can't use a typical fridge because it will dry out the air, but is this one different since it also serves as a warmer? I was thinking that since it is...
