Sheen is a trip. But you got to hand it to him. He is rich and he is living the dream. Even if his dream is a muddled psychotic episode. He is living it. Just goes to show.. money really can't buy true happiness..

How often do you have to refill the triple flame? I have a single flame torch and I have to refill it nearly every day :-( David

I have made the mistake of ordering some cigars from Thompson. Fortunately for me they weren't super expensive. I find my tastes are rapidly progressing toward more expensive smokes. So I am glad I learned (from here) that their quality has tendency to be low. I have since purchased from Best...

Just received a box of Arturo Fuente Chateau Pyramids. I now have a new favorite cigar. Really, really good. Also a fiver of montecristo whites and so Olivas. Next up... Padron Anniversario 1926 #2 naturals from Keystone. Is it possible to have too many cigars? Its a good thing I like to...

I recently seasoned my humidor with those Boveda seasoning packets. It took two weeks but its now holding a steady humidty at 66% which I am pretty happy with. You might check them out. They also make humidity packets which I use in the humidor (72%) and in my coolerdor (69%) David

Woo Hoo. I'm in! David

He could just do what I did. Get a 2 gallon freezer bag and stick the box in there with a humidification packet or beads. Seemed to work pretty well. David

On a related note... Is it okay to, in your coolerdoor, lay boxes of cigars on top of other boxes of cigars? Is airflow an issue here? Or is it just all good since the RH of the interior of the cooler is within acceptable parameters? David

Where is a good place to go for boxes of cigars? I've tried FSS, Best Cigar and Tex's Cigars. Price is of concern, but quality is a higher concern so I dont mind spending a bit more to get the good stuff.

I hate to sound like a Carlos Torano whore.. but my first was a Romeo Y Julieta #2 also and I have found certain of the Carlos Torano line pretty awesome. I have recently smoke the carlos torano Master, the Casa Torano, the reservas and the decadencias. And I am pretty stoked with them all. All...

Based on recent feedback from forum members (thank you!) I have picked up some padron 2000, some arturo fuente reserve and some fonsecas. All pretty good so far. Based on my experience with the fuente I ordered a box of Arturo Fuente Pyramids. I am looking forward to trying them out!

I am new as well. But, so far, my favorite has been the Carlos Torano Reserva Selecta. A close second would be Carlos Torano Reserva Decadencia. Its flavored but I love port wine. I need to branch out from the torano brands. I have an order coming in soon with recommendations from the members...

Wow.. thanks for all the great replies everyone. So far my favorite is the Carlos Torano Reserva Selecta. I got a box of toros and I am very much enamored. But its good to branch out to other makers so I will try the suggestions above. I am greatful for the replies. I am really enjoying my foray...

Hi, So, being a newbie I find I am really preferring to smoke milder cigars. What I have enjoyed most so far are the Carlos Torano milds.. Casa Torano, and the Decadencias. Someone in another thread said I should smoke better cigars. So what would you recommend that's better and mild or mild to...

Hi, Let me preface this by saying I have search the forums and have googled my topic as well. I have been smoking cigars for about a month. I've always wanted to try them (I'm 43) but have always succumbed to popular thought surrounding the evils of smoking. But I have to say.. I am enjoying...
