Finishing off the last of my AC Peterson Escudo. A little bummed because I haven't heard good things about the new STG verision.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm leaning toward the Punch-Punch.   Has anyone tried the Romon Allones Superiores, yet? They also fit the bill, but I haven't heard anything about them.

Every year we spend a few days around New Years with friends. He smokes cigars but isn't terribly knoweldgeable. I usually try to come up with something interesting to bring with me and a few years ago I started a tradition of bringing a 10 count box of CC with me.   Nothing terribly expensive...

I liked 2012, but I agree, 2011 was particularly good, and 2013 was sub par. Heres hoping 2014 tops them all.

I just ordered mine. One of the few absolute rules of pipe smoking that I adhere to religiously is to wait until after Thanksgiving before cracking this year's Christmas Cheer.   Its one of my favorite tobaccos out there, and I look forward to Black Friday each and every year. I'll smoke it all...

Retired US Marine stands guard at Canadian War Memorial to honor fallen Cpl. Nathan Cirillo.         http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/nov/6/fox-sinke-retired-marine-receives-death-th/

The cold weather put me in the mood for something sweet, so I craked open an old jar of G&H Lousiana Flake. I just love this stuff.

No worries man, I'm happy it made it safe and sound. Keep in mind that the FM Cellar is topped with something.

Stopped by Holts this afternoon and restocked on some SSMs. They were having their Tatuaje event so I was able to grab a few Jekylls and even some Anejo 46s. All and all it was a pretty good day for me.

There was a time I would have said, no way, you have to be pulling my leg, but there is a photo going around the internet of someone at an expensive cigar event smoking something good (maybe an Opus?) with the ceder still on. He was a good halfway through the cigar.

Damn, I have no excuse. I actually commented in that old thread. I also bought the groupon on Friday. I checked before hand to make sure that they actually had stuff that I wanted. I just got an email saying 90% of my order was out of stock with not expected to be restocked any time soon. I...

I have a Breitling I wear every day, but in truth, I don't really need it. In court I can't pull out my phone to check the time, so that's pretty much the only time I actually rely on my watch.

Thought the first was missing part of her arm. I sat there with my head cocked to the side like a golden retriever for a minute before I figured it out.

I have a 15 count Cigar Caddy that does the trick. I fly with pipes more often than cigars. Occasionally they take a good look at my pipe tool, but they've never given me a hard time. They are pretty strict about tourch lighters. I use a Zippo for my pipes, so I just use that to light my cigars...

PM me your address. I don't think I have any Frog Morton (I personally find those blends to be bland and overrated), but I can certainly send you some Latakia to try.

I just had a HdM Epicure No. 1 that blew me away. It was the best cigar I have had a long while.

Sterling, what have you tried so far, and what interests you the most?   My suggestion is: while samplers are great, avoid the urge to try as many different blends as possible and focus on differentiating between the different types of blends. While a lot of folks suggest that new smokers start...

I'll smoke my pipes inside, in the garage/basement, but tend to keep the cigars outside. I live in a big stone row house in the Philly. Mine is right in the middle where the row is staggered, so my neighbors’ houses stick out further behind mine. There's no privacy on my deck, but I have nice...

He's been smoking a pipe for the better part of eight years now, I don't think he'd qualify as a "newbie" any longer.

Enough that I do not need to buy anymore, but not so much that I actually stop buying more.
