I stopped into my local shop for a lunchtime smoke and picked up an Oliva Series X. My local guy told me that he had to send all his unopened boxes back because supposedly Feunte sued over the label of the cigar (a giant X) looking too much like the OpusX labels. This sucks because I really...

The evenings are getting cooler, the smell is in the air, and the birds are starting to fly. Duck season in Ohio is just around the corner. Nothing better than sitting in the duck blind, with a fine cigar and a wet retriever. I can't wait for opening morning. Do any of you guys hunt ducks as...

I have been on my local guy for about 2 months now to get in another box of Maestros. He tells me today that his order was cancelled and he was told they are discontinued. I have been on the internet looking all day and most vendors are out of stock on these as well. Has anyone else heard...

Monday night I got the call to go to Charleston on business. I took my first 26 and boy was I not disapointed. The construction was perfect, the burn was perfect, the taste was great. I wasn't able to really sit down and take notes on it so I am going to have to smoke some more to post a...

I was in one of my local Tobacco shops the other day to pick up a few things I can only get there. I happened upon 5 boxes of VSG in one of the Cabinet humidors in the building. There was white mold all over the cigars in all the boxes. Now, my other locals guys carry VSG's and I have never...

I have had this one sitting in the humidor for about a month now and decided tonight was a good time to put the flame to this one. Construction of this cigar was magnificant. It came wrapped in a cedar sleeve and then wrapped in celo. The CT broadleaf wrapper was silky smooth and had a few...

While browsing Cbid a few weeks back me and Faboolio ran across a brand of cigar called the Philipinas Fighting Cock. With a name like Fighting Cock you can imagine the jokes that ensued. Well, after weeks of constant jokes we finally broke down and bought a 10 pack. After a couple of weeks...

Because the first one tasted like ass. Maybe i just had a bad one. The contruction on this cigar was impressive though. Nice wrapper, firm construction, very few veins. I thought I may be in for a treat. The prelight nose was of coffee and earth. At this point I was thinking ok, not bad...

Well, I have finally done it, my life will never be the same. I picked up a 10 pack of Indian Tabac Super Fuerter off of Cbid for a ridiculously low price. The dark side has taken me, I am forever changed. Pray for me and my credit card. Brandon

I have had this one sitting the humidor for about 3 months now and I figured it was time to give it a whirl. The prelight nose was earth and pepper. The prelight draw was smooth and slightly tight which is just how I like it. The first third of the cigar was a light butter with pepper...

I just wanted to drop a little appreciation thread to Viper at Heartfelt for the customer service I recieved on my last order. I order a couple of tubes of beads and they shipped out within a day but after a month I still did not recieve them. Something happened somewhere between his post...

To my suprise and joy my local shop had 2 boxes of opus X in stock yesterday when I went down to buy some smokes. They had 2 sizes, the Super Belicoso for $14 a stick and the Belicoso xXx for $10.70 a stick. I purchased to of the Belicoso Tripple X. I was at my boys baseball game and decided...

And I am 2 pages behind on threads. This forum gets a ton of traffic. Fortunately I got my upstairs bathroom installed so I can get back to reading all the posts I missed. Brandon

It is supposed to be 80 and sunny here today for the first time this year so I decided to yank the doors off the jeep and leave the top down last night for my morning commute. It was 52 when I left for work at 6am this morning and let me tell you that was one brisk refreshing hour long drive to...

Had a nice warm evening out last night so I decided to sit outside and enjoy a good smoke. I pulled an Ashton VSG that I purchased at my local shop a few weeks back for 9.50 or so. I lined up my cut and it ended up to be a perfect cut. So I thought, hey this is going to be a good night. Pre...

I was hit with a double strike today. The small down of Scio has been blown off the map. Forunately for me, my Mother-in-Law checked the mail today, so she took the brunt of the trauma. 1 stray dog, 3 cats, 2 goats and a sheep all lost their lives in the blast as well. CigarDawg and Swifty...

I smoked one of these this weekend on our camping trip and it was one fine cigar. I don't know how many of you have tried one of these but I highly recomend it. Great flavor, very smooth. I am still too new to cigars yet to give a formal review so I will leave that to the more refined palets...

Hello all, nice place you all have here. I guess I would be considered the the latest newbie to the forum. I had my first cigar when I was 18, it was a swisher sweet (everyone point and laugh). I didn't much care for the taste then, but it was the experience that I enjoyed. A couple of years...
