I am leaving for a ski trip in Utah tomorrow and I was Jonesing for some LFD. In addition, I have found that jet lighters do not work very well in the thin air so I wanted a nice flint lighter. As always Uptown hooked me up. I placed the order yesterday at 4 PM and what arrives today at 11 am...

After reading this thread, I am looking at picking up the Oregon Scientific THG800/810. But it seems like the units only come with one sensor. What model sensor would I have to order with the main unit to control multiple humidors? The Oregon Scientific site is unclear on this topic. Any help...

IndyRob, As a true Jet fan, I have to say I was rooting for the Jags. Good thing the wonderful cigar distracted me from the loss. Indy defense looked like what I have seen from the Jets the last 3 weeks. Good thing you guys have a quality QB.

Location: Metropolitan Society (smoking club) Situation: Watching the Jags/Colts game Libation: GlenMorangie Lasanta Size: 6 7/8 x 40 Shape: Panatela Burn: Even Draw: Loose but required a few re-lights (might have been over humidified) Several weeks ago, I received a very nice order of...

Not sure how the rest of their prices stack up, but the prices on AF Hemingway are very expensive. :angry:

Punch stopped by my cigar club (The Metropolitan Society) on Monday for a really cool event. They brought a master roller and he gave out 4 little cigarillos with different wrappers that Punch uses: Conn. Shade, Maduro, Ecudorian and Honduran. The filler was the same for all so that the...

Either the Fordham Road one or the Bruckner one work for me. I went to school and lived behind the one on Fordham Road, so that is just going back to the hood. The Bruckner one is easier to get back to Jersey from. it all depends on where the Domino table place is. Or if it's in Queens, i...

i knew this was the right place to ask my questions :thumbs: Hey Pete, If you get the chance, post or pm me any information on the price of the place in the Bronx. Being a Bronx boy at heart (high school and college), I would really love to buy the table in my favorite boro. And I could swing...

My smoking club has a great rec room, but it only has one domino table. It fills up quickly and once play starts, it is tough to break in. I am looking for some recommendations from the collective BOTL on places to buy a decent folding version. I have seen some on-line that look nice but I am...

Thanks for the post Damien. I try to keep mine at 70% +/- knowing that I am not as diligent sometimes so the humi's will dip into the 60's on a regular basis. In addition, it is to account for the eventual de-humidification that will take place away from the controlled environment. So far it...

This brings up a question I have always had about storing humidity versus smoking humidity: Doesn't a cigar lose humidity once it is removed from the humidor? While sometimes I smoke a cigar immediately, more times than not there is a lag between when I remove the cigar from the humidor and...

Just finished placing an order on CI for the following fivers: Torano Cameroon 1916 Robusto Cusano 59 Rare CAM Toro Gordo Oliva Serie 'G' Torpedo God this is an expensive place to hang out :sign: If I slow down enough when smoking, I will write a review. I am very interested in trying...

I just got my order from Tampa Sweethearts and i have a few of the Cuesta Rey's (#1 and #9) in there. I was hoping they were worth trying. They look great and now I have a recommendation. very cool.

I have a soft spot for this style of cigar. My own favorites are: 1) AF Hemingway (any of them, but the short story is my Desert Island selection) 2) La Aurora Preferidos Maybe it is just a shape thing. I have tried the Cx2 but did not get the same flavor. It does not stop me from buying...

Israel, I clearly misunderstood you and I appreciate the clarification. But I figured it would be an interesting thread and since I know you are part of the boarc, everyone could share in the discourse. From the discussion on this thread, it seems that it is less about just the leaf or the seed...

In an interesting email string with Israel of Uptown cigar, he mentioned that there are some interesting cigars being made that mix Cuban leaf with leaves grown in other countries. I may have misunderstood him but is any company doing this at the moment? If so, has anyone tried a cigar with...

I sat on my back deck, listened to the leaves fall, sipped bourbon and smoked a Preferidos 1903 Ltd Reserve #2 Cameroon that just arrived from Cigar Bid. God, I love this country.

Even though I buy from them on the Internet, Uptown Cigar is a B+M in Kingston NY. Israel and Michele are great and always keep me in mind when Fuentes arrive and when the unusual comes there way. So today I got delivery of: 1 Fuente Toast 2008 Pack (FFOX and Maximus) And a wonderful selection...

TRULY DISAPPOINTED! Business (and unexpected jet lag) prevented me from getting to any of the London B+M's. No matter how much I wanted to buy something, I refused to buy at the airport. Thanks guys. I appreciate your effort and really wish I had any story.

I am off to London next week and would like to know if there are any really great, should not miss if you have the opportunity B+M stores. I have been to a few other EU cities and would like to add some of the London B+M's to my list. I realize the exchange rate is not in my favor but when in...
