I've been working at one since it was opened by some friends of mine a year ago. What questions do you have? If I can't answer them I'll ask the owner - she can answer most any questions you have.

I agree with the above posts, especially about separating flavored and non-flavored. The flavors can 'marry' and your non-flavoreds will start to taste flavored. Something interesting to know is that the reason you can leave the cellos on is because they are made to be breathable. They age just...

There are a lot of great cigars that are much smaller than a traditional PC. Gurkha makes a DELICIOUS long-filler cigarillo you absolutely have to try. Fuente makes some great ones too, although they're pretty thin. In the PC size I recommend Padron, Onyx, and HdM. Those brands are sweet and...

As a noob to CP I recommend reading the asshattery section. :D I made this EXACT mistake on another board when I first started smoking cigars. When it comes to illegal activities most questions can be answered by searching. If there's anything you still have questions about, PMing experienced...

That looks awesome! Especially the LfD, La Aurora, and Liga Privada #9. That's a very class-act set of smokes!

I'm a huge Pepin whore (The Lancero Collection was absolutely the best collection of cigars I've ever had), so I can't wait to try these. I hope they're not like the Tatuajes though - oddly enough I really don't like any of them. Weird since they were blended by Pepin.

For anyone within driving distance of St. Mary's, GA we are having a herf on April 1st. Some of my friends from cigarweekly will be meeting us there, including a crazy canadian that never fails to amaze us with his insanely high-end collection of cigars and rum he brings. Please feel free to...

I have some of her books - absolutely love her art!

Thanks for my first CP contest! This is one of my favorites (from the hilarious movie Shoot 'Em Up): There was a young girl who begat Three brats, by name Nat, Pat, and Tat. It was fun in the breeding But hell in the feeding, When she found there was no tit for Tat. And an oldie but...

Keep in mind that strong cigars actually lower your blood sugar. (I was surprised when I found that out myself!) I always wondered why it made me sick - that's what it is. You're not actually suffering from nicotine poisoning. You'd have to practically eat a box of churchills for that to happen...

Lucky bastard! Actually, I'm not that unlucky myself. Every day when I get off work at the Navy I drive to my second job at Cumberland Cigar Co. I guess if you consider it a job to show up whenever I can, or just skip showing up if I need to. When I do show up I mostly sit around on the...

Although I don't smoke Acids, you have to give it to Drew Estate. They definitely ahve the market cornered on flavored cigars. I respect how they flavor them at least - they don't just dip the tip like most places (CAO flavored for example). All of their cigars are infused. At the bottom of...

I got lucky enough to take part in a tasting hosted by Steve Saka a bit back. He sent 2 my way. Here is the review I posted over at CW: I tried the cigar yesterday - here's my review: Liga Privada #9 1=TERRIBLE 2=SUBPAR 3=AVERAGE 4=GREAT 5=AMAZING Appearance: 4 Taste: 4 Draw: 5 Ash: 2 Smoke...

As for the cheaper smokes you'll find a ton of them all over the internet. Look for bundles, as there are a lot of really great bundles you can find for under $5 per stick. For my high-end smokes I absolutely love Ashton VSG, Padron 64 or 26 (26 is SUPER yummy), Opus X, and Davidoff. For some...

Honestly, no matter how correctly you do a salt test there are so many ways it can read incorrectly. Too much water, not enough water, not letting it sit long enough, etc, etc, etc. Your best bet is to go to your local B&M and ask for one of the humi packs that come inside every box of CAO or...

Not to send you to the evil site - but Cigarbid now offers singles of their high-end smokes. I've gotten a lot of Ashton VSG, God of Fire, Diamond Crown Maximus, etc off there. I just make sure not to overbid. Some guys drive the prices up like crazy. I never bid more than $10 per VSG, which is...

Forgot about those! They are one of those that I know I have to eat before I light up.

I'm a medium-full smoker, but usually don't have any problems smoking strong cigars. It's been a long time since one gave me that sweaty, gut-wrenching feeling. (My first time ever was with a Oliva MB 2 - I know, it's not that strong. I was new!) But a few months ago I picked up a Camacho...

Looks like you are making the same mistake I did when I first started - getting addicted to the high-end cigars! :laugh: Now I love Ashton VSG, Padron Anniversary Maduro, Opus X, etc. Cigars are expensive enough without falling in love with the expensive ones. :laugh: Luckily I also love...

I read that quote by Davidoff and thought it was hilarious. I suppose if I had unlimited access to Zino and Davidoff I wouldn't feel guilty about throwing out a cigar halfway through either. Unless a cigar is really bad I almost always smoke it down to the nub. I also commit the faux pas of...
