    Effect of long-term non-humidor storage

    I'm in a similar situation. I recently found a humidor full of some great cigars that were probably sitting in storage for a year+. They were all pretty much dry as a bone. Some in cellophane, some in tubes and some just out in the open. The ones that were out in the open didn't fare as...

    RyJ Question

    I got some RyJ I think #1 Tubos while I was in Pakistan a couple of weeks ago. They were 450 Rs. which converts to about $7.50 USD. I havnt gotten a chance to try one yet, but does that sound like the right price for a cuban RyJ over seas? Ill post a picture on here when I get a chance and...

    COA MX2

    Has anyone tried the new CAO Italia? I picked one up the other day but havnt smoked it. I also saw an brief article about it in RobbReport, which said it had Italian tobacco in it...? Id like to spark it up, but I really have zero free time. Has anyone already tried it?

    super rare

    I think that may be able to be debated pertaining to cigars, but I would insist that any dealer that tells me an older wine is simply for collection and doesnt improve with taste needs to find a new profession.

    super rare

    Does anyone know where I could get pre-embargos? Not the ones rolled with pre-embargo tobacco, but actual cigars from the pre-embargo era?

    Cohiba Club, Partagas Spanish Rosado, Mayorga

    Yeah, Im fairly sure. But if thats the price difference there is a slight chance I could be mistaken, thats a very unlikely mistake, but hey you never know... Ill be sure to pay them more attention next time.

    Cohiba Club, Partagas Spanish Rosado, Mayorga

    Wow, they have them at like 10-12 bucks a piece at my local shop, they probably made a mistake pricing 'em.

    House Brand - City Cigars Robusto Maduro

    Sounds like a great place. Its a shame they dont have more cigar stores in your area. Its funny that you mention how you were not followed into the humi. I thought it was just me, cuz Im a younger guy. I always get really annoyed cuz I assume they just dont trust me cuz Im younger. I went...
