While I don't buy a lot of boxes of cigars, I have bought boxes of a few different brands including the one I just got. Never before have I received a box of cigars where the box itself actually smelled horrible. As soon as I unwrapped the box I was hit by the smell of pine mixed with some kind...

Has this happened to anyone? I use a Haier 18 bottle wine cooler for my cigar storage. I've had it for around 5 years without any problems. I use a salt tested and calibrated digital hygrometer to keep an eye on the humidity and 65% beads which keep things very stable. Lately I noticed I was...

All I can say is that I am blown away by your generosity. Your pass was a lot of fun and the contest winnings you send are above and beyond. Thank you very much. I will enjoy every one of them. Dave

I recently got a new computer and am giving the old one to my son. The old computer is a 700 MHz Dell with a P2 or P3 processor and a 40 gig hard drive. It is running Windows 98 which will not support some of the educational programs I have tried to load for him. I need to upgrade the operating...

I can’t believe it’s been one year already. When I found this site I thought it would be a great source of information that I would occasionally use to get the answers to some cigar questions. What I discovered is a very generous, close knit community that helps and watches out for each other...

Brad at Jameson Cigars was kind enough to send a sample of their new blend. Here is my review. (Sorry, no pictures. Camera batteries were dead.) Brand: Jameson Cigar Company Cigar: Black Label Size: Perfecto 5x54 Wrapper: Brazilian Maduro Binder: Honduras Filler: Dominican The first thing I...

My collection is growing and I want to start labeling my cigars with the date, size, and maybe a few other things. I don’t have blank bands and am wondering if it is safe to put an Avery label directly on the cellophane. I would place it on the portion that is folded over at the foot of the...

Even though she only tolerates my cigars, she bought me a 16 bottle Avanti wine cooler for my birthday. Now that’s true love. Not the largest wine cooler around, but a heck of a lot bigger than my 125 count humidor. Doesn’t matter how big it is, just that it's from her. Now all I have to do is...

Devil's Weed from Molina Cigar Company Size: Robusto 5 x 50 Wrapper: Equador Connecticut Binder: Dominican Filler: Dominican Storage: 68 deg F @ 65% RH The cigar looked well constructed and was firm with a little give. The wrapper was smooth with a few small veins and a very nice medium brown...

First, let me say this is not much of a review and more of a question. Being a newer smoker my palate is not at all refined and I am still trying a wide variety of cigars. I picked up an Olive Series O Torpedo just before Christmas because my local B&M was out of the V series which I wanted to...

It's pushing $4.00 per gallon here in Southern California.

The other day I was very surprised to be the recipient of my first ISOM cigar. It is a RyJ Romeo No.1 in an aluminum tube. Since I plan on saving it for a special occasion this coming spring, I need some input as to how to store it. In short, do I take it out of the tube and put it in the humi...

When I seriously got into cigars I did some research and purchased a variety of what I thought I might like or would like to try. That was before I found CP. Over the last few months I have been reading the “Reviews”, “What Did You Smoke Today”, and other threads and most of what I see is...

Here is my dilemma. My wife’s work Christmas party is Friday night at one of our good friends house. One of her coworkers husband did not want to go because he did not want to be the oldest one there. It is a younger crowd. My wife told him that I would be there and that I am only a few years...

Is it a common occurance for large ammounts of tar to build up while smoking a cigar? I have searched the topic and found that it does happen. As to why, there was much speculation. Some say the cure is to recut the cigar a little to remove the build up. What I could not find is the frequency of...
