I unexpectedly have next week off and was thinking about going to Santo Domingo for a few days and perhaps take in a cigar factory tour or 2. Any recommendations on areas to stay, and tours to take would be appreciated.

Took up CigSid on his advice to cut a few open and examine. The good news is they were all “clean” of foreign substances. However, the “R&J’s”were all made with short fillers. The “monte 2’s were all made with long fillers.

my daughter just came back from Cuba and brought me back a couple of boxes of cigars. I had asked her for R&J wide Churchill’s and monte 2’s.Before she left I told her to buy only at LCDH-and nowhere else. But alas, she was in a “gift shop” in Cifuentes that was selling many different types of...

I’ll be traveling in a few weeks and will have a 3 hour layover in Beijing. Anyone familiar with Cuban cigar prices and availability at the airport?

Well, I have to agree that the full year in the “new” cabinet at a low to moderate r/h plus the silver would certainly kill “mold” and would have prevented the other cigars from being affected. I guess the earth is not flat after all!

Corneighdo, I totally get it. There is a lot of of sarcasm offered on this thread to emphasicize what appears to be article of faith-but little in the way of facts. Perhaps you, scap and the “science guy” could share your knowledge and wisdom and explain why, with no change in circumstances...

I took a look at some of the posts on mold/plume and took as close alook as possible at the picture in the first post of the thread. A few observations which leads me to think that this so called“problem” is plume and not mold: first, the cigars wereleft In the same humidor and the white spots...

My wife took a trip to Morocco with 3 of her girlfriends and brought me back a beautiful Humidor made from a very aromatic wood that is indigeonous to Morocco. I think it’s called Thuya wood. Anyway is extremely aromatic. I’ve had it for a few months and the aroma has certainly calmed down a...

Of late I have been listening to a few varied podcasts and am seeking recommendations: My preference is for podcasts that focus more on cigar culture and information, cigar friendly travel, cigar events-things like that—actually very much like this web site. I am less interested in cigar...

From the picture and description from whylieineedacigar, I agree with corneighdo. That is NOT mold. It is plume-and that is an indication of a very well cared for cigar

Pancho Sanchez-especially their piramides. Dark, almost maduro wrapper, fairly strong and smooth as .smill

There are a couple of noteworthy shops in Boston. Perretti in park square is a very nicel old school shop. It’s been around for at least 50 years and maybe a hundred. Great selection and very knowledgeable staff. There is also a shop on havover street whose name escapes me. It is in the heart of...

as you noted mike, with the new rules it may be a while before they show up if at all. i think i'll give the camacho bourbon a try. thanks for the recommendation
