Thanks Gentlemen. I am in the Big Easy now and will be venturing out soon. Will report back what I find.

My Fellow BOTL, I will be in the Big Easy this week and was looking for some local knowledge. I understand you can still smoke in bars but not all of them are Cigar Friendly. I did some searching on the site but did not find a recent recommendation. I saw the New Orleans Cigar factory and...

Hey George, Time to add some friends Kenny Shea (metro)

DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO SHOW ME YOUR FANCY CUTTER...... :D It was so beautiful I had no choice to order one after Christmas as stocking stuffer. Ordered it on a Wednesday, got it Friday and have been happily cutting away since.

Thank you Gentleman. i can always count on this site for excellent insight and information.

BOTL, I have a label question. I have seen Bolivar Belicoso labels with the word "Habana" under guy on the label (forgive my ignorance) and I have seen labels with "Habana" and the "Cuba" underneath as well. Which is real, which is fake or are they both real? any help would or clarification...

I have read the entire Partagas D4 thread and I just read it again.I guess I am missing something because I am not sure what you are pointing out that I must have missed. Happy to have you highlight my misunderstanding. Always willing to learn.

Learned scholars, I was reading the recent thread about a potential batch of fake Partagas D No.4. One of the ways that they were identified as fakes is that they did not have the right number of dots (periods). Well I checked my number 4's and they all had 3 dots but it got me thinking. How...

Has anyone found a difference in calibration after a batter change? Generally, once I calibrate I just change the batteries. I never thought it would change the calibration.

A wife vs. Humidor story with a happy ending (not that kind)... I had 4 humidors and a stealth 70 quart coolidor in the basement. The humidors had taken over my wife's spare china closet. I decided to give it back and consolidate into a Lauderdale. It arrived before I had a chance to unpack it...

I was over in Oct. 2009 and went to JJ Fox of James Street. I got a little happy and dropped 400 pds but I still believe it was worth it. 12 Hoyo Double Coronas from 2004 (no extra charge for the age), some aged H. Upman's, some the new Monte line (Regatta etc.). Smoked one of the aged...

I have discovered a very large bottle of Kettle One that deserves to be turned into Limoncello and was hoping to see some of your favorite recipes. Any suggestions?

Gentlemen, I am looking for an example or plans to build a battery powered circulation system for my coolidor. I know I can use an Oust fan, but they are bulky and fragile when disassembled. I have found kits on the 'Net to build the switch part and was considering using a computer fan...

Gentleman, I am confused and looking for help/advice on aging: Why would one line (blend of tobacco) benefit more from aging than another be better? I readily admit that I have the palette of dish rag and envy those who can taste the fine nuances of a cigar (I am being serious and not trying...

I'm with Nancy Reagan on this one: JUST SAY NO! BBQ is an art and like any true art it takes years of practice and patience. I am sure it has taken you years (and plenty of $$$) to get your sauce right. That is worth something. To give it away just because someone is a relative demeans your...

So as a curious party: What should this poor dude do now besides throw out the specifically effected cigars: 1) Nuke the whole humidor? 2) Wipe down the rest of the cigars with bleach :( 3) Start from scratch?

I have had the same thing happen way too much lately. I have decided to stop hanging my humidification devices from the top of the humidor. I now put a length of cedar lining from my ISOM cigars under the humidification device and put the device facing up with the cigars. On the mold issue, I...

After way too many nights on Cigar Bid, JR Auctions and Cigar Auctioneer I have quickly outgrown my 70 Quart coolidor. The primary reason for the overflow is the boxes are odd sizes. I am considering taking the cigars out of the boxes and creating bundles. Most if not all are in celo or tubes...

A few years ago my wife bought me a vintage Table lighter by Parker House of London. It is really beautiful and looks like it works on batteries but it does not work. Does anyone know of someone who fixes vintage lighters?

Hey Cafo, nice to hear someone else actually knows where F.P. is. I have been in F.P. for 10+ years now and started out living in Hearthwood. Great place but parking was always a nightmare. Nice choice on the La Riqueza. I got hooked on them recently. You can take a guess who recommended...
