X2 on the wood matches. I was gifted a little torch from another BOTL and it worked great on the golf course or in any windy conditions. Too bad I filled it with cheap butane and wore out the igniter. (lesson learned). Everyone raves about the Blazer but I'm like you, how can you go wrong...

Thanks for the replies guys. As a gift you're right price should not matter, however as a gift to myself I'm afraid my will will not find the same justifications that I have :laugh:

Yeah, did the Newbie Sampler already and it was great! I'm thinking of cigars that belong in this forum though :whistling:

I'm thinking of buying some cigars for a special Christmas gift to me. The only ISOMs I've smoked were RyJ Churchills, which I definitely need to be sitting down for, and Cohiba Siglo II? (Petit Corona) Anyway, any recommendations of what to buy or perhaps a sampler? I'm leaning toward the...

Great idea with the velcro! I've tried magnets and they suck. I'll be heading to WW tomorrow for some modification supplies.

Some sage advice from dispensed from someone much wiser than I... With boys you only have to worry about one...thing.... With girls you have to worry about a million...things.... :laugh: edit to say sorry I haven't given any comforting words. I'm sure I'll be there someday :blush:

Thanks for a great place, Rod. I agree though, I didn't even know there was a Report a Post button.

Do you know if it's any good?

I had a friend who's mother bought a box of Acid tubes and put her own custom label on them. Not recommending the Acids but it might get your wife to customize the labels and join in the fun!

Yeah the ones in the interview. I don't think he ever said the name though.

I'm ashamed to say it but my wife's got me on a short leash. Something about paying mortgages or some sh@#????

I've been a member here two years this month and until JonDot offered up some Tat Franks for purchase I've never bought/sold/or traded with any members other than member/retailers. JonDot didn't know me and I didn't know him and yet I didn't hesitate to send the MO to his end first. It goes...

I'm wondering about that new moderately priced Tatuaje that's supposed to be coming out in 2009?

Sorry, I know better than to post w/out searching! Please don't bury me on this! As I've said to other people on here, only you can decide what YOU like! Thanks for the links though :)

OK guys, I'm needing some input. What's the status with some of these new cigars? I let the Gurkha craze pass by without asking but some of these new smokes seem to be calling my name. I just wanted to hear a couple trusted opinions before I jumped in headfirst. So how bout Viajes or...

I've never bought CC's and am the first to tell you I have no knowledge of them...but I thought the only "authorized" dealer by LCDH in that area was in Cancun? For that reason, I also stayed the hell away from the shops on Cozumel. Feel free to set me straight on this.

I agree with taking your time. I've smoked a few Padilla 1932 and Miami 8/11 lanceros and they are both great smokes. Like you I thought the thinner the stick, the hotter it will burn but I haven't noticed it with these two particular smokes. Now the Macanudo lancero I smoked....that's...

I have got to come into this store! Nice work guys. :thumbs:

Got lucky at the roulette table the first night in Vegas. Spent $78 on three CF's and a damn fine mojito. I had won enough to buy a couple nice boxes but instead decided to use the money at the tables. I played with their money and left Vegas $29 up! :laugh: Should've bought the boxes!

Why? WHYYYYYYY?!
