I'm not big on flavored cigars, but I do love their Natural line or Java Wafes for a RARE dessert cigar. The regular Acid line I really don't like - it's like smoking incense. But if you're going to flavor a cigar, Drew Estate does it right at least. They don't take a crappy cigar and dip the...

:laugh: Oh, they had the whole box for sale too (the beautiful humi) - but I'd already sold my last kid, so didn't have any way to pay for it. :laugh:

I smoked through 4 of the 2004 Forbidden X's this year (the box set that had 4 individual coffin boxes) and have a 2005 left I've been hesitant to touch. It's always hardest to smoke the last one! lol I also have a few of THESE that I picked up for $35 a pop in Wisconsin. Haven't had the balls...

I've mentioned it on a few other threads, but I HIGHLY recommend keeping the plastic cans of glycol gel set to 70%, and a few sets of nylons with 65% heartfelt beads in your humi. The gel tubes/cups try to raise the humidity to 70%, while the beads absorb anything above 65%. I've been doing this...

Just what everyone else said. Remember that water isn't necessarily harmful to the cigar leaves. When they're rolling cigars they keep the leaves moist. I've even seen a few rollers spritz a bundle of leaves that wasn't wet enough. The danger with getting cigars wet is that they might come...

That's scary! That's the VT I have too. I make sure to keep everything pulled away from the back so that nothing is blocking the fan. Too much back-pressure can't be good for it.

If you do decide to cut it, don't actually cut the wrapper - just trim the foot. I love lighting shaggy-foot cigars, but they do create burn problems early on since it's very easy for one leaf to burn faster than another. I touch up my cigars constantly anyway, so I don't mind. I also second...

With the exception of the Lot 23 I really haven't found any Perdomos that I like. Overall I find them to be too bland. Not necessarily lacking in flavor, but definitely not interesting smokes. I've tried a bunch, and they all pretty much are one-dimensional. I can even handle that in a cigar if...

See this is what made me and my buddies choose not to come back into a shop we visited in WI. We walked in wanting to herf, and all of us brought some really nice cigars to share. The lady came around and told us that if we wanted to bring in our own cigars we had to pay a fee. She used the...

Good luck man! At our shop we have free WiFi, satellite, free coffee (we sell coffee, so the free stuff is to let people try it), and a lot of nice lounging areas. We used to sell sodas, but after a while we just started letting regulars pick them up for free. I'd make sure that no matter what...

I live in Southern Georgia, and in the summer try to save on electricity by keeping my AC around 80 or 85 in the day while I'm gone. So this plays serious havoc on my cigars. I bought the 28-bottle VinoTemp ($200 at target) and was EXTREMELY happy. It's thermo electric so the humidity swings are...

Your cheapest solution is to go buy a pair of nylons (color doesn't matter :lol:), and cut the feet off. Pour half your beads into one, and half into the other. That provides maximum exposure of beads to your humi. The benefit to having 2 separate bags is that to adjust humidity you can have one...

Salt testing hygrometers is a VERY subjective procedure. Slight variations in the amount of salt, water, air in the baggie, etc make your hygrometers come up with different results. Your best bet is to go to your B&M (or reach into a newly-purchased box of Torano or Fuente ;) ) and get out the...

Currently they have a bottleneck. They roll roughly 18,000 - 20,000 cigars per day, but don't have the facilities to create enough boxes. So their bottleneck is in waiting for the boxes to get finished. They're expanding their box-building facilities, along with bringing in more rollers. He's...

Oddly enough I find them a little mild, despite being an absolute Fuente whore. The red and black band ones (are they the Spanish line? I should know that...) are wonderful. Beautiful Fuente flavor with a slight sweetness in the background. Yummy!

I'm so jealous!!!! I recently picked up the Pepin Lancero collection and it was by FAR the best collection of cigars I've ever had. I may not be able to help myself this payday. :love:

Beautiful way to start the day! Almost every sunday morning starts that way with me. I'm lucky enough that 3 or 4 nights a week end like that for me, but with port or wine in place of coffee. It's times like that I always find myself thinking "Man, life can be SO good sometimes!"

Just stay away from Cigarbid! :p

Those are AWESOME. Especially the maduros. They have all the wonderful flavor of the '64s, but without the tannic bitterness that sometimes ends up finishing the cigar. I saw that '26 80th anniversaries the other night. Despite the $35 price tag I was tempted to pick some up. I didn't pull the...

I've seen that on Ebay before. They phrase it like that because they can't technically sell tobacco, so they have to sell the 'bands' which just happen to be around cigars (which aren't meant for consumption :rolleyes: ). They seem like the real thing, but why take a chance? With the wording...
