    Where am I staying while in Barcelona ???

    Thanks Dan but only if you provide your address and I will return the favor. I won't be in the US until Thanks Dan, was a fun contest. I won't be in the US until Thanksgiving time so there is no rush for me.

    What Whiskey, Rum or Cognac are you drinking today.

    I love Pete, he's a good dog. I hated Lagavulin when I first tasted it, tasted like iodine(band-AIDS) to me, but I grew to like it an now it's one of my favs. Did I saw "now"? Now was in 1989. I bought a case, back in 2002. I have 6 bottles left from that case. Little did I know at the time...

    One day I'll put the crowbar in my wallet and splurge for the XO.

    OK so like Lars Tetens back in the 1990s - somehow there is a weird following for no good reason. Glad I didn't step on one.

    What Whiskey, Rum or Cognac are you drinking today.

    Pussers in Tortola makes a killer Pain Killer, maybe you can find out if you dig on the internet just what kind of rum they are using. BOL

    What Whiskey, Rum or Cognac are you drinking today.

    Alot of these Tiki drinks have both Light and dark and some even a splash of 151. If you only want a single bottle in your bar for Tiki drinks, go with an amber rum like the Mt Gay - but I believe this is an awesome Jamaican rum, white but high proof: "Wray and Nephew White Overproof Jamaica...

    What Whiskey, Rum or Cognac are you drinking today.

    For Tiki drinks you can't go wrong with plain old white rum (I use Havana Club 3 YO regular - but if you are mixing a bunch of other Tiki things with it like orgeat syrup or Pain Killer/Zombie/Mai Tai type of mixers it really doesn't matter as long as it's decent quality that won't rip your...

    What Whiskey, Rum or Cognac are you drinking today.

    I just did a search and see you guys are all over the Solera. I buy a few bottles every time I'm in the US (as it's a bit cheaper than where I live). Will have to try the Bambu XO in the near future, as recommended in this thread. Note: I purchased last week on a recommendation: Matusalem...

    What Whiskey, Rum or Cognac are you drinking today.

    Ain't read the whole thread but I love a good rum with a cigar. My go to is slightly sweet but not overly so, the Zacapa Solera 23 - it's not really 23 years old, despite what retailers will say (And they can say whatever they want) but Zacapa will tell you that their product is a blend of...

    How to season your new humidor - step by step guide

    I use tempstick - it's wifi, not bluetooth so you can check on it from anywhere you have an internet connection on your PC or phone(app or website). You don't need to be in bluetooth range. So if you are away for a few hours or a weekend you will be notified. Also you can set alerts for temp and...

    Awesome lineup. Are those RyJ on the lower row, far left are probably too long to be cazadores, those are churchills, right? Very dark. Only issue is I'm not sure I see any Don Carlos on the Fuente row... maybe that 2nd to last or the one next to it... What's the domestic smoke that you go...

    Limited Edicion Cubans

    You guys talk alot about Gurkhas, don't know much about them but I suspect they are the Lars Tetens of today? Or are they seriously good cigars? I'm pretty much a domestic noob since not really smoking any the past 22 years

    Limited Edicion Cubans

    Agreed, and if the draw is too loose there's not really much you can do except store at a slightly higher, 69%-70% and hope the filler and binder expand a bit, put it in a tube and warm it up in indirect sunlight about 20 mins before smoking (I'm reaching at straws here) to some how compensate...

    Limited Edicion Cubans

    I totally agree with Bill and this is a constant debate, but maybe take this into consideration: The length of time one plans to age and when they plan to smoke. Long term agers and short term agers. Usually long term agers have larger stock on hand In my experience aging really long term, say...

    Limited Edicion Cubans

    Just as an aside, when I first starting smoking CCs RyJ were very popular on the forums and real life. Nowadays they hardley get a mention. They age well, smoke great and usually have a decent depth of flavor - probably becauase they are not power houses like Part/Boli/coh - but not wimps like a...
