Just FYI to connie smokers that JR's has them in. Bought all 3 in maduro on the advice of the FOG's familiar with them. Looking forward to them the next time the wife's car needs a good waxing... :D

Well I was surprised but this CAO Brazilia Amazon is a damned good cigar. Great construction. Nice firm draw, lots of smoke. Ash is a nice gray color, and is nice and firm. The taste so far is not very complex, just a nice black coffee taste with undertones that I am still trying to place a...

WARNING: OBVIOUS INFORMATION AND OVER-DRAMATIZATION OF BORING FACTS TO FOLLOW (MAYBE NOT TOO OBVIOUS TO OTHER NOOBS) When I just started smoking cigars and keeping them in a humidor with distilled water credos and half working analog hygros, I would come across a plugged cigar here and there...

Ok, so for a month or so, I had been looking to try the LGF Serie R Maduro. By all accounts it was a great, tasty, oily, full-bodied hunk of a cigar. After nursing my recently acquired batch for 2 weeks in the humi, I finally lit one up and, well, it was OK, but no big deal. I actually...

Hi all, Just got a few Hoyo DC's, and I am somewhat disappointed with the condition of the sticks. I am not sure if its the roll quality or the shipper's handling of the things, so I need some opinions: Some have tiny tears/holes in the wrapper(not beetle-like tho), some of the wrappers feel...

Well, I won bid for a xikar cutter for a really cheap price. I figured the guy didn't put in a reserve or a higher starting price, so I put in a low snipe price and I got it. Much to my horror, a week later the seller has 7 negative feedback messages, a deleted account, and cancelled email...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has empty boxes they don't want anymore for certain popular makes? For reasons best left unsaid, my cigars came without boxes...please drop me a pm if you have any, and we can figure out how much you may want for them, as well as postage to Honolulu. I am...

Hi Guys, With the generousity of members of this forum (thanks Bill!) I find myself combing websites for ring gauge and length to determine what cigar I am about to smoke. My question is that when I go to use the cardboard ring gauge thingee the local smoke shop gave me, many cigars fit into 2...

How often does someone's parade get rained on? Or to put it another way, how often does one's pursuit of an otherwise pleasurable smoking experience become a bad one that pursues him (and puts him in handcuffs)? I tried a search on the subject, and since I found no info on it, I figured it...

Hi all, please welcome another clueless newbie to the fold, that newbie being me. I have been smoking cigars for a while now, but only recently started getting into the in's and out's of the them. My old man brings be back nice cigars a few times a year...mostly Romeo e Julieta's and...
