BornaTiger, it is coincidental that you posted for an update. I never did get the top to seal 100% properly on its own but using a bungee cord to hold down the lid did the trick for most of the year.The Kool-A-Dor worked great in the summer and fall months but had a tough time in the dry, winter...

So, my neighbor and I officially opened the summer smoke patio last night. Perfect cigar weather 70 degrees  and 70% RH. I broke out a couple of JohnnyOs. One might be described as a panatella, the other was a figurado. Unlike, the last JohnnyO I smoked, these were both healthy.    Both smokes...

Greetings:   We hope you continue to visit us here at CP and wish you a speedy and safe return home.   To clarify, you have two or three cigar storage solutions with you, the herf-ador and humidorThe problem restricted to one storage container but not the others? If restricted to one container...

Bat Vitola Update:   I smoked a Rothschild Bat yesterday and a Churchill this morning, both with coffee. The last inch or so on all four vitolas I've tried exhibits a touch of ammonia. In some cases, it is just a short blast, then dissipates after a couple of puffs and I can enjoy the stick down...

Kool. Let us know what you think.

Promised review is here: http://www.cigarpass.com/forumsipb/topic/74072-murcielago-vs-ortega-bellicoso-serie-d-smokeoff/#entry1133201

UPDATE:   I spoke with Eddie Ortega for a few minutes and discussed the heritage of the Bat and the Ortega Serie D. Eddie confirmed that the Serie D was "much more full bodied" and the difference between the two was indeed, the Esteli & Jalapa fillers, both Nicaraguan. He also said that the...

Spicier; thicker, than the Bat but very, very, very, close.

This is the journal I use to log notes about my smokes.

The Murceilago Burn is very good but the ash a bit loose; dropping at around the 3/4 inch mark.

Several reviewers have mentioned that the flavor profile of the Murcielago, aka the Bat, was similar to Eddie Ortega's Serie D. It shouldn't be surprising. Eddie had a hand in blending both cigars, the Murcielago with Erik Espinosa while at E&O; the Serie D under his own label after divorcing...

Thanks, brother Tom. You were right, the CP search engine didn't give me any returns on dry box. The Johnny'Os were a bit on the wet side - and I like my smokes a little more than most here - around 68-70RH.   I've been dry boxing without knowing it. I frequently pull out a few smokes at a time...

Had them just two or three days.   Now, I'll have research "dry box"   Pax

Well, I got a Johnny-O sampler this week. I read about how the sticks get sick within 30 to 90 days, then have to rest for six months to a year. I sometimes doubt how good my palate was and thought a sick cigar might have meant that it just didn't taste as good as when fresh. Wrong.   The first...

You were lucky. I decided to get some of these in different vitolas. Unfortunately  they've already sold out of the Rothschild and Churchills. You might be able to back order at same price.   CORRECTION: I was checking with famous to see if I could lock in the price if I subscribed to monthly...

BBS turned me on to a great deal for these smokes. He is wildly enthusiastic about the stick's virtues, and the Murcielago (Bat in Spanish) is generally well reviewed.   Some have compared them to the Ortega Serie D. Perhaps not surprising since they are made with the same San Andreas wrapper...

What a sweetheart!
