I interpret the body and strength of a cigar like this: Body = intensity of flavor(s) Strength = amount of nicotine Body usually refers to the amount or intensity of flavor a cigar may have. Think about a full bodied red wine. It does not mean that it has a lot of alcohol. It means that...

Contrary to what one might think, if you rotate the slower burning side of a cigar so that it is at the bottom as you hold it in you hand or lay it in the ashtray, it should help the slower side catch up to the other side. Rotating the cigar as you smoke it helps reduce the uneven burning. As...

Coming in Friday afternoon and staying through Sunday. HerfinOne and I will be staying at the lodge by the lake, not in the facility where the event takes place. Can't wait! :D 44 days; 12 hours; and 17 minutes

I couldn't either. I found out that I had a prior commiment. But I plan to be at the event this Friday. :D

Well, as the responses seem to indicate here, that experienced cigar smoker probably wasn't all that "experienced". Either that or he smoked by himself a lot. Otherwise he would have had more interaction with many other cigar smokers who would have proved him full of hot air. Personally, I...

Glad you enjoyed the Prize Package AJ. :)

Great! If not the 16th, maybe I'll see you on the 23rd. I'm not a whisky drinker but I'll drop buy anyway. But I am a die-hard CAO lover. :D

March 23, 5-8pm - CAO Cigar Tasting www.TitanCigar.com Click HERE for details.

Martin, I am one who is not enamored of Cuban cigars. I have been smoking for well over 5 years. I have smoked many Cuban cigars. I have been unimpressed overall. I don't think it is a matter of my palate not being able to distinguish subtleties of cigar tobacco. I pick differences up just...

GEESH Dan! Ginger got you that BEFORE Cigar Fest last year? She is treating you well considering the traveldor that she bought you for your anniversary weekend...that she let you both spend at Cigar Fest 2006. :laugh:

My 7000th post at Cigar Weekly was placed on March 7th at 7:39PM. The member with the closest guess was Boogs34 who guessed a date and time of Feb 17 at 7:45PM. CONGRATULATIONS Boogs34 on being the BEEG WIENER!!! PM was sent your way AJ.

That goes for me too. As a department store custodian... my first job while in high school... the store had a trash room where all of the trash that was collected from the store trash cans was dumped. Cockroaches loved the place. One particular day while emptying the wheeled bin that was used...

I believe that the majority of seconds are probably selected, bundled and sold to the the B&Ms and online stores without having been aged like the firsts are aged. When you buy them from an online store, you run the risk of getting a bundle that has not been aged in their storage areas. The...

63 days: 11 hours: 4 Minutes: and 58 Seconds.... No....50 seconds.... no 35.... AWWWWW FORGET IT!!! :angry: ;)

If you plan to visit Shelly's, make sure you have at least 3-4 persons in your party. Lately they have been turning away pairs of people to keep their tables open for larger groups. I have heard this from a few different people. Apparently they would rather risk loosing out on a guaranteed...

That's a nice setup Garrett. If you can fight the urge to fill it up completely, and it sounds as though you can and will, I think it will do well for you. I bought a 54 quart Igloo that had slots like yours. Also like yours I turned mine up on the end and used it like a refrigerator. I...
