I have several coolerdors and smoking humi's. I do not smoke or have any of the flavored cigars out there. In my smoking humi's, I usually have 5 to 20 different kinds of cigars in there and some for as long as 2 to 3 years. I usually try to keep the darker wrappers apart from the lighter...

Thanks for the linky :) I ordered this right after you posted it, but still have received nothing yet!!! Have been wanting to try a Toranos :whistling: antaean

Doc, I certainly cannot rule this out. However, I don't always get this when I am smoking, just with a few boxes. I had a 13 month old Bolivar coronas extra and a 8 month old Bolivar corona that had a salty flavored prelude to a nicotine kick. Drank water with both and were smoked about 2...

Ok, perhaps I need to offer some clarifications :rolleyes: The salty taste I am referring to arises several minutes before an obvious nicotine effect, meaning the tingly lips feeling, elevated heart rate, etc. This has usually happened when maybe a third of the cigar has already been smoked...

I have noticed that an attribute of some ISOMs seems to be the presentation of a salty taste just prior to encountering strong nicotine effects while smoking the cigar. Usually when this happens, the salty taste is not present for the first inch or two and then appears near the start of the...

I have been told at the local customs border crossing, by a Homeland Security Officer, that all they need to confiscate is suspicion. Does not matter what the cigars look like or what the receipts say. However, I am unsure of other consequences. For example, what if they really are Dominicans...

I vote against this one. Blogs seem to inevitably lead to discussion(?) of politics. The present "no-politics" policies of CP really stand out. Politics = poly (many) + ticks (blood sucking insects) 'nuf said. Cheers, antaean

Where can I bet on the "dude" with the mask??? LOL Isn't the first bald guy the same one as in Rod's post last week? Cheers, antaean

preembargo, Great post on salt test mechanics :) I wonder though, the "table salt" widely available is iodized. I have never been able to find out what affect that has on the RH reference numbers published for NaCl. I see seangars thoughts on percentage of salt in non-distilled water. But...

I just received a copy of "The Complete Guide For Habanos' Enthusiasts (La Guia Completa Para los Amantes de Habanos)" as a free gift for buying a box of cigars from JR Cigars online. The book is paperback with glossy paper and color photos of various Habanos. The size is about 10" high by 6.5"...

Can this info be confirmed elsewhere? The discontinuance of the Boli coronas would be a sure disappointment ??? antaean

A few months back I saw a box of Boli tubos #2 with revisado stamped on it. The box code was GKI JUN03, Revisado 4/02!!! There were 3 nail holes in the box lid and 2 warranty seals, neither were XX or XY. When I opened the tubos there were 3 different "makes" of cigars. That is, they were all...

Hi smithrob75, I had a box from '03 that were marginal in flavor and taste until this year '06 when they became quite tasty. Gave away most of the box in '05. Sorry I did since they were very enjoyable in '06. First 2 years they had a dry cedar taste and not much habanos aroma. In '06 they had...

Amazing that you have exactly hit the nail on the head in this review. Excellent work!!! I believe that in some quarters, the value of these smokes lies in their ability to test one's "manliness" and "fortitude". That said, you have my most profound sympathies. Cheers, antaean (editted: as...

We all win!!! Thanks for the "pop" quiz Wilkey!!! antaean

I tried a Grape White Owl a few months back at the insistence of a couple of my son's buddies at the fraternity house. All I can say is: Those poor misguided souls. The taste and smell was so repulsive that I could not finish any more than about the first third (it makes me feel dirty to even...

My guess, after reading Wilkey's various expositions, is 3A. Unless, this is a trick question? :laugh: antaean

I wish that this forum thread was more useful than it is. Thus far, we have: 1. a newbie offerring to help the world without regard to himself 2. suspicion/concern about the newbies motives 3. evidence of the newbie doing the same thing on other boards 4. arrogance/bad manners/rejection of...

This is a better start Kurt. Welcome to CP from one of the newbies! Cheers, antaean
