BOTL, I will be in Seattle for a short time on business this week and was hoping to find a cigar lounge. The temperatures will be in the 30's at night so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am staying closer to downtown so Smokey Joe's would be too far. Went there a few years ago...

Nestor Miranda was at a cigar event I attended in June and he talked about the effect that length and ring size has on cigar taste. His point was that if you want to taste more of the wrapper, smoke a long thin cigar because there is a higher Wrapper to filler/binder ratio. In a large ring gauge...

Thanks for the recommendation - looking forward to trying both - I imagine the casino lounge would be open later than most I belong to a private club in NJ so would be interested in finding out about the private clubs you mentioned in Seattle. Would be happy to set up some reciprocity if possible.

BOTL, I am traveling to Seattle on Sunday (3/23) and would like to find a nice Cigar bar or even a place that has heaters outside. I will be staying by Alaskan way but willing to travel. Any suggestions?   I looked up a few places on the web but they seemed to be mostly Hookah Bars.   Any and...

Thanks - As i mentioned the email is reserved for distribution requests. I have not received a positive response when I tried emailing that address. 

BOTL,   Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and is ready to start the New Year with renewed vigor. My first cigar of the year was a Between the Lines on my back deck with a nice E.H Taylor Single Barrel.   Anyway..... Last week my Japanese Sarome...

I have the all shelf tower (very similar in design and dimensions) and I love it. I went with the Hydra LG xLarge humidification system and have not had any issues BUT I did make some of the modifications listed above: 1) Removed the green foam in the reservoir and replaced with silicate beads...

WOW - More information that I ever really wanted to know about mold but yes, very informative.   Will try search more often - but I still like the opinions and perspective    Who doesn't enjoy a good conversation about Mold every now and then  ;-)

I unfortunately agree.   Two follow-up questions: Has anyone attempted to save cigars with Mold ? (wipe them with bleach...) Is there a better way to post pictures? I did not see a way of uploading an image so if anyone has a preference of link site for pictures, appreciate it

Gentlemen, Thank you all for the prompt and helpful insights.   To answer a few of the questions: The box was inspected briefly. No Mold noticed but if was more than 6 months ago. It was not near the water source. It was stored 3/4 of the way up the clock tower (Grandfather clock, not Back to...

BOTL,   I just opened a box of Bolivar's and was very surprised. Almost all of them were dotted with a white puffy substance. They have always been in a box in my humidor. The humidor is very large (size of a clock tower) and no other cigars have even a hint of plume/mold. It is all white but...

I am probably the envelope - My Post Office was out of the small boxes but I was very careful - Lots of bubble wrap and tape

Thanks for all the info. Since none of them seem to have a fuel window, I will have to fill and hope. But now that I know that I can use all 10+ of my lighters at once and that I turn off the flame after the cigar is lit, I may not need the table lighter :laugh: Appreciate all the help and...

Pacifico - A real mexican beer....

BOTL, I am in search of opinions and where better to get them then here. i have found that my regular lighters (and I have 10+) do not hold enough fuel for a good night of herfing. Therefore, I am in search of a table lighter. I have looked at the Xikar ones (my current favorite brand) as well...

Went to Brass Monkey last night - Really great place and very popular Interesting situation: When I asked the waitress if we could smoke, she said of course. The roof deck is wide open and there was a 5 mph wind. Then one of the bouncers comes over 20 minutes later and tells me to put out the...

Brass Monkey looks very cool. I just checked out the website and I will be looking for the pictures. The Perfect Pint on 45th between 2nd and 3rd has a roof deck as well but they only allow you to smoke on a set of very uncomfortable chairs facing the street in the summer. Regarding the Park...

BOTL, I have gotten so much advice from many of you over the years, it would be nice to meet some of you in real life. Is anyone going to the Famous International Cigarnival this weekend? A bunch of guys from cigar club in Fairfield are going. It is my first year but I hear it is great time.

BOTL, As a denizen of NYC, I am very familiar with the indoor, cigar friendly establishments that serve food (Merchants, Club Macanudo etc.). But now that the weather is nicer I am looking for suggestions of places that server food and allow smoking outside. All help and advice is greatly...
