I know there a couple CT guys here. I am in Old Saybrook for a couple days. Any good B&Ms around? Thanks! Allen

Here's a great birthday card I got from my wife for my birthday today. Thought you might get a chuckle out of it.

I searched here and couldn't find an answer. I have a Moist-N-Aire unit in a 3000 count humidor which is about 6 feet tall and 18" width and depth. I set the unit to 70%. It comes on at 70% then runs the humidity up to 80-90% and then stops. So I get these large swings in humidity. It is at...

I'm sitting on the porch in 60 degree weather absolutely loving a Padron Anniversary 64 Imperiales Maduro dated 08/2008 watching the Utah St. BYU blowout. Stored at a constant 65% RH for its entire life. Perfect construction, gorgeous wrapper and deep complex typical distinct Padron flavors...

I just received a box of these. Thought you all might like to see some pics. They come in an unvarnished box and are supposedly tobacco from one farm, vintage 2008. Looks like they've been aging for about a year. I'll probably let them sit for a bit and then fire one up. Hope they're good...

After reading through the great thread about raising your own tobacco, I thought I'd give it a try. Of course, I started this process in late August so what the hell I thought, I'll raise some indoors. I got some seeds that are are labeled "Small Stalk" so I guess I'll found out what that...

Sorry to divert attention momentarily from the Tat Drac frenzy, but any experience with these? I really like the original line which tasted like it would age very well. And with the addition of a sun grown wrapper, these sound like they could be great cigars. Any opinions? TIA. Allen

This is my first Carlito God of Fire and I must say, as with many other Fuentes, this cigar is top notch in flavor and presentation. This one has been in the humidor at 63% RH for a few months which seems to be a very nice RH for this cigar. The wrapper is a medium brown with no veins. The...

I'm not sure where I got this one but I stumbled on it in my humidor today and said, that cigar looks pretty good. This is a well constructed dark brown cigar which measures 6 x 47 which is the size I am liking the best right now. The wrapper is dark brown and covered in cedar with a nice...

This is an interesting video of a wildlife guy rescuing raccoon babies from a Pepsi machine. Linky I saw this on another video and the guys shirt caught my eye. On the back it read: I deal with wild animals for a living. If I am running, keep up! Thought that was pretty funny. Enjoy...

I fired up this beauty one quiet peaceful afternoon sitting out front with my dog. Wrapped in cedar, the pre-light aroma is sweetness with cedar mixed in. The wrapper is beautiful dark brown with some veins running through it. The construction of this cigar is superb and it feels heavy in my...

In a rather stunning development, at least in my life, I’ve managed to procure approximately two hours of free time. It is 7:30 in the evening and the triplets (yes triplets) are in bed resting comfortably and the wifey is away getting her toenails fixed. Given this rare opportunity, I head...

Country: Dominican Republic Length/Ring: 6 x 50 Shape: Toro Wrapper: Maduro After a short dip in the pool where the water is still a bit cool, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to take in the Houston evening air with a light breeze. I was also fortunate to have beside me a well aged...

Based on the recommendations of several fine members of this board, I bought a bottle of Glenlivet 12 and sat down with a nice Bolivar Coronas Gigantes. After several bad experiences in high school with lower quality product, I was a little worried about how Scotch this would go down. I added...

Country: Nicaragua Length/Ring: 6 7/8 x 46 Wrapper: Maduro Strength: Full I haven't smoked one of these in a long time and I am wondering why not? These have been in my humidor for almost three years and all I can say is wow! The cigar is rough looking with prominent veins and a dark brown...

I smoked this one on a cloudy cold day on the streets of Chicago braving the draconian Illinois smoking ban laws. This fat robusto has a beautiful smooth medium brown wrapper with no flaws. It is firm to the touch with no bumps. It is perfectly contstucted. The prelight draw reveals well...

Hi Everyone, I am traveling to Chicago for a conference tomorrow and will be there for a week. I am staying at the Wyndham hotel at 633 North St. Clair. I was just wondering if there was a nice place within walking distance to enjoy a cigar? I'd like to bring my own, but purchasing cigars at...

Hi Everyone, My wife and I live in Houston right now and are thinking about moving to Clarksville, TN. We've previously lived in smaller towns outside of Nashville before and they were too small for us. I was wondering if anyone had any experience or had any thoughts about Clarksville...

Well, after a lot of hard work (ie cleaning up the garage) I constructed my new smoking office equipped with necessary items such as the generator I bought after tropical storm Eduardo and before hurricane Ike, the lawnmower and strollers. Thankfully the weather in Houston is warming up so I...

Country: Nicaragua Length/Ring: 5 x 52 Shape: Belicoso I smoked this little beauty on a cool, slightly windy, low humidity day in Houston. It has been in my humidor for about a year. The cigar is dark brown and tightly boxed pressed. It is firm to the touch with no soft spots. The prelight...
