So it seems Al & my wife have been plotting behind my back. For my 40th birthday today I received a box of Don Pepin Blue Label Lanceros. :) I know she didn't pick THOSE out by herself. Thanks, Al, for helping make this a very nice birthday! KevPriest

Story here. It sounds to some extent like a tourist attraction, but it may also produce some interesting whisky to try in another 12 - 24 years. Edited to fix double-quote (thanks AVB)

I saw this news story down in the CP "Cigar News" section. Nevada Study Links Casino Smoke to DNA Damage If you read the story you see that there's an "expert witness" from second-hand smoke lawsuits already going through the data. #1: I'd say it's only a matter of time before the casinos and...

Crazy Cat Terrorizes Connecticut Town I can only assume it's our beloved Coventry.

Well, thanks to all the members here (and when I say members, I mean throbbing, pulsing weenies) who've made my time on this board so much fun. :sign: I've enjoyed this forum more than any other place I've found, and I've really benefited from both the brotherhood and the knowledge I've...

I'll be heading out soon for Taipei, just for a couple of weeks. I'm wondering if any of you have ever been to the LCDH at the Grand Hyatt in Taipei? I'm planning on stopping in to check it out, but I have no idea how cigar prices are in Taiwan. Any experiences? Anyone know if they have a good...

Tonight, after work, was a little rough. My girls were both acting up, my wife got mad at me over a discussion we had, and I was just kind of "done". Once the girls started acting a little better (thanks to my wife's intervention, nothing I did) and once my wife got past being mad at me, it was...

They've got quite a few of them up (15). Forbidden Lancero Do auction prices tend to get higher or lower when so many people are out of the office? Any experience? KevPriest

This person did NOT get what they wanted. I'm still working on it, but maybe this will tide them over for a bit. 0304 1560 0003 4516 3481

Got a wedding to attend in the City this weekend, but we'll be staying with my wife's uncle out in Hartsdale. Last time I was there I think I saw a smoke shop on 9A in Elmsford, but I didn't have a chance to stop in. Any suggestions? Any good places to pick up cigars? We'll have access to a car...

One of the local retailers here in Atlanta sells their Opus X for MSRP, but only in bundles with other cigars, which seems reasonable to me. I grabbed a baggy last time I was in the shop and it was a pretty nice selection: 2 CR Centrofino Sun-Growns, an Anejo (not sure what size it was), an...

I'll start off by saying my humidor is too small. I have a little 40 count humidor that I picked up cheap when I first started smoking cigars. I also recently built a coolerdor, but I use that for boxes and bundles, so I have to do with the 40 count for the individual smokes I get. And...

I've done a search on the site, but couldn't find another thread that seemed to address this. What is your opinion of retail cigar stores as a business venture? It seems a lot of the excess has been worked off since the boom, and most of those still standing are making a little money. Is...

Have you seen the cover to this book? NSFW! Kate Moss is a beauty. 4 Inches

After I had made a purchase at one of my local shops here in Atlanta, I noticed he had a second, smaller humidor sitting near the back. Wish I'd noticed it first, because it was full of more OpusX than I've ever seen in one place. I didn't ask him to open it, since I'd already bought my budget...

This July 4th weekend I had an Opus X and a Diamond Crown Maximus. I expected great things from the Opus X, and was not disappointed. I didn't know for sure what to expect from the DCM, but I was blown away by it. I don't think I've ever had a cigar that had such complexity, with all of the...

Picking up toilet paper and bulk green beans a couple of weeks ago, I noticed my local Costco has boxes of Jose Marti "Cuba Libre" Nicaraguan Cigars in Robusto size, so I picked up a box. It was $34.99, if I recall correctly, so I wasn't expecting the world or anything, but just trying something...

I picked up a couple of fivers of these off of Cbid. Waited a few days, pulled one out of the humi, toasted, lit, took a draw. Nice. A little strong, but nice. Kept smoking, got down about halfway. This is a strong cigar! Got to 1/3 and had an aneurism. Nicotine was seeping from my ears...

So, CI was running a promo that looked kind of interesting, a way to "sample" different strengths of cigars. I've got a brother-in-law that had asked me about strong versus mild cigars, and I thought this might be a fun way to answer the question. Plus, the whole sampler of 20 cigars was only...

I've had a couple of these now, out of a box I picked up from CI. It's a 4.5 x 50 short, somewhat stocky cigar. Based on my experience with the some of the other Indian Tabac Maduros I assumed that this would be a fairly quick smoke with a loose draw, but this one was surprisingly dense and long...
