    Cigar bid

    It is great for getting high-end sticks at a decent price (if you watch closely). Fortunately the daily smokes that I love I tend to get pretty cheap. I'm a camacho whore, and have yet to pay over $10 for a fiver of anything. I've gotten a bunch of CAOs at $7 per fiver. I recently restocked my...

    What'cha think?

    I made an avatar for a friend of mine and liked the graphic so much I decided to make a full-sized one. I made a full-sized version of it showing the entire gun (and without his name of course). I want to order some prints and frame them to hang in the cigar shop, but I'm not sure if people...

    Why it's fun to be a cigar n00b

    Those RP Vintages are great - I recommend looking for the 'seconds'. They're usually MUCH cheaper, and still taste just the same. Yummy sticks. I remember that excitement! I remember getting my first 2 boxes of cigars at the same time: two 10-cigar boxes of RP '90 and '92 Vintage Churchills in...

    Well billbaker3 and 5 o'clock somewhere, you should have some nice little packages soon. I shipped them out on Monday. I went for quality over quantity - but hopefully you'll enjoy the sticks. :cool:

    Cigar bid

    You know, I go there with the idea of "I don't want to spend $300 on a good box of ISOMs, so let me just bid on one or two things here..." Then the bill comes. $475 God damn it. :laugh: Actually, you can get some great deals if you're careful. Before I bid on anything I look up the price...

    In support of a friend's family

    Topper for the day. Two GREAT members of CP (and 2 from CW) have supported so far. We really appreciate it guys! I spent all yesterday writing out tickets. :laugh:

    Nibo lighters.

    I have this one too. The triple jet doesn't so much light a cigar as it does blast it into submission. Don't use it to touch up a bad burn! It mostly just carves straight through the leaves like an arc welder. :laugh: I've had a few Nibos and loved them. My first I LOVED, but clogged it using...

    CL3

    I've tried a few of the Arganese cigars and loved them. Never did a formal review, but I remember them being great cigars with a lot of good flavor. The last I had was a robusto that definitely kept my attention the entire smoke.

    Defiance

    That's interesting - I can't wait to try it. So far I have been very underwhelmed by Nicaraguan Puros. I like the idea of a Nicaraguan Criollo wrapper, but even with that most of their puros tend to be very one-dimensional and flavorless for me. Of course a lancero-sized cigar could pack a bit...

    What are the next three cigars you'd really like to try?

    I'm DYING to try one of the new ISOM Cohiba maduros. I'm not real big on Cohibas in general, but I would love to try a CC maduro. For my top 3 I'd love to try: Casa Fuente (or any rare Fuente you can't normally get online) Padron 80th Anniversary Illusione (I've heard great things about these...

    Yup, just what Aaron said. I use Ziploc Freezer bags. I write on them the name, year, etc of the cigar - then I leave them open just a little when I put them in the coolerdor. Don't have any problems! Actually, there is ONE problem. With baggies you find you can fit a LOT more cigars in your...

    In support of a friend's family

    Alright, I have a little website up to help with supporting Ashley's family. It's nothing too fancy, but it should do the trick anyway. Plus you can see exactly what's getting raffled. PLEASE make sure that if you use the PP option, you put your name and phone number so we know who to call if...

    Thanks for the support guys! I'll make some tickets up for you when I get into work today. :thumbs:

    In support of a friend's family

    MO or check are great - just make sure you put something in the envelope that lets us know who you are - that way when you win we know where to send it, or where to get ahold of you. As we're also offering the raffle in-store we're going to be writing out a physical ticket for each person that...

    In support of a friend's family

    I know I'm new here, so I REALLY hope this doesn't get taken as a money-making attempt. There are some guys on here who know my from Cigar Weekly who can vouch for me. Recently a good friend of ours - Ashley Morris (Knife on Cigar Weekly) - passed away. He is survived by his wife and 2...

    Cigar Porn

    There's no shame in that collection! I saw some really tasty sticks in there. As for rolling my own cigars - I'm lucky enough to work at a cigar shop, so whenever we've had cigar rolling events I make sure to get some time in rolling a few cigars on my own. I'm no expert, but at least they're...

    Tila Tequila

    For those of you who've seen that vacuous little girl (who was OBVIOUSLY a stripper before her MTV and MySpace fame), I've always wanted to see her topless. I watched the Shot of Love with her just because she's about as cute as they get. Well purely by chance I found one of her pre-fame videos...
