Looks like El Fumador got a new shipment of Opus in stock. Their standard rules apply (e.g., buy 10 cigars and a limit of 2 Opus per order). Nonetheless, their prices are reasonable. Belicoso XXX 10.25 Perfecxion No. 4 Series X 9.75 Perfecxion X 13.00 Robusto 5.25 12.00...

I know this particular stick has been lauded here to some extent before, so I won't go into great detail. But, I thought I'd take some time out this afternoon to have a nice quiet smoke to celebrate the birthday. So, I picked out a Graycliff Espresso Pirate. This was my first, and surely it...

Well, I made it back safely from the Vegas Big Smoke and thought I'd post a bit of a review here for those that are thinking about attending one in the future. Overall, it was a great event. I went for just the Saturday evening Big Smoke event. Not sure that I'll make it an annual trek, but...

Alright, working off of the thread in the buying/trade forum and HudsonValley's idea of a Holy Grail pass, who'd be interested in a Holy Grail pass? The idea would be to share cigars that qualify as a Holy Grail cigar. First, in the sense of a cheap but great smoke (e.g., the Fuma). Second...

I've read in a few places that Cubans are distinctive in that they have a triple cap. Curious, what's the purpose? And, do all Cubans have the triple cap or just some? Mojo

So, I've made the foray into Cuban cigars at last, and while I'm not done, I've been a bit disappointed at least at the outset. I've tried about 4-5 sticks so far and my overall thought is that for the same money, I've had better NC cigars for less. So far, I've tried a Cohiba Siglo I, a...

I think I've found my new cheap cigar Holy Grail! I recently picked up a box of Padron Fumas from MD Cigars (www.mdcigars.com). These little guys are a modest 44x6 1/2" by my measurement -- and cost an even more modest $36.81 per box of 25 ($1.47). From what I've been able to find from...

I thought I'd take another shot at a cigar review. This time, the smoke of choice is Trinidad Ben-Hur. Tale of the tape on these sticks is 5x52. They're a mix is Nic/DR and Puerto Rician leaf wrapped in an Ecuador Sumatran wrapper. I picked up a box of these from JR when they first...

As new user to the forum, I thought now was as good of a time as any to post my first review. The smoke on tap, a Bolivar Fuerte Cuban Corona. The box price from JR works out to a very reasonable $2.80 a stick. The cigar isn’t a monster in appearance by today's standards. In comparison with a...

Greetings Ladies and Gents -- I'm relatively new to cigars having been at it for a few months now. I've been lurking around the board for while and thought I'd formally introduce myself. I've thoroughly enjoyed from the chatter her and benefitted from the advice and recommendations. Looking...
