    Almost time to be heading back...

    I can't guess (n00b) but welcome home man!

    A bad taste...

    FWIW, I think baking soda toothpaste works a little better than regular toothpaste at removing smoke odor. Just don't brush before you smoke, or you won't taste a thing.

    Whats your handicap?

    Used to be an 11, but haven't been playing much. I plan to play a lot this summer, just went for some practice today and was doing OK. What a great pastime.

    How "Dead" are you?

    I am a big fan. Love 68, 73, 77, and the 80s each in their own right. Sadly, I lost a binder of CDs with most of my bootlegs 2 years ago, but still have a lot I was able to get from friends/online on my iPods. I had some cool stuff though that I cannot seem to find now, because it was...

    Got a New Humidor

    As in, if he told you how much he paid, he'd have to kill you? LOL

    Cigars for a Group

    I usually give Ashtons to non-cigar types, and they tend to like them a lot (and I can smoke one too). Looks like they do make tubos, crystal ones only come in 10 packs though. http://www.famous-smoke.com/cigars/search/....cfm/inum/15245

    My Humidor Setup

    Thanks guys! I got some nice big cabinet style boxes (2 matching ones) from a local BOTL to replace the fuente ones pictured above in the cooler. They will use the space more efficiently, which is getting to be a point of interest, because I may have gotten a package on Monday, and have...

    Oliva Serie V Belicoso

    It's possible that it was tunneling (the filler burns faster than the wrapper, "tunneling" inside of it, rather than being flat or dome shaped). If this gets bad to the point that you have to rip the heck out of it just to get a decent draw, you can try knocking off the ash and burning the edge...

    What do you look for in a humidor?

    In response to the original question, here is what I would look for in a desktop: old world charm, dark stained wood, nothing too glitzy, and I probably prefer a satin or flat finish to gloss. I would not buy less than a 100 ct, and a 200+ would be ideal. Things I look for: -good sorting...

    New humidor

    I like that wavy pattern, and the bottom grate is sweet! Nice pickup.

    What's Your Latest Purchase

    I was by a B&M yesterday in VA (which has cheaper tobacco tax that anywhere near me), so I couldn't resist... 2 Oliva Special V Figurado 2 Illusione CG4 1 Ashton VSG Sorcerer 1 Tatuaje Reserva J21

    I have a humidor temperature confession...

    My cooler (one of the 5 day types) was sitting un-airconidioned in my bedroom for two days, so it got up to 75-76. Right now, I put some ice in a duo of freezer bags on top of an empty box, and have it sitting in there. It's only a quart bag, so it's taking a while, but I figure once I get it...

    NOVA Cigar Tasting Herf in Sterling, VA

    Oops, just saw your addy in profile, that's pretty far from me lol. If you want to take a train in, we could still carpool.

    Opus MSRP Question

    +1 Bam Bam, I saw some at a B&M yesterday, and they were charging an arm and a leg (starting at around $23 or 25 for a robusto). Rest of the prices at the store are pretty normal.

    My Humidor Setup

    L. O. L. Too keep the vampires out of my stash, of course. (that's about an ounce and half of 65% beads in a tied off piece of hoisery)

    My Humidor Setup

    Thanks! Haven't had any yet, this one I got in a trade with a guy. Once I smoke it, I'll be sure to post a review.

    My Humidor Setup

    Here is my primo newbie setup. Because I like pictures of other people's cigars so much, I thought I might share some of mine. The desktop (50ct) was a gift from my girlfriend, and the cooler (48qt) followed shortly thereafter... The desktop: I have emptied this one out in the last month...
