My wife & I are going to be visiting my brother, an artist who lives in Durham. We'll have a little down time, so I'd like to find a shop there that sells at a good discount so I can do a little stocking up. I don't need a smoking lounge and great "atmosphere" so much as I want truly great...

Well thanks to Matt @ Stroble Cigars, I now have both a Palio and an Xikar X2. My impression: Xikar X2 cuts close to the cap, a square cut every time. Palio cuts cleaner, but seems to make angled cuts unless I pay very close attention. No big deal, but it's looks odd. Mind you, I've had the...

Title pretty much says what I'm looking for. I bought a Churchill-sized one, and am going to let it sit in my humidor a while. What should I expect, and when? I have but a very small collection of about 3 dozen sticks; not more than a few of any, and mostly singles. My everyday smoke has...
