I have a couple of very nice looking boxes of Padrons and Rocky Patels. The RP is lacquered; the Padron box appears to have inscriptions burned into them. Both lack simple clasps to secure the lid to the box. If you store them in your humidor flat, that works fine. But if you store them on...

Enjoy! If you feel so moved, please consider smoking one in honor of Iron Peddler's Uncle Nick and sharing a couple of tasting notes with us. You might recall, his Uncle Nick taught him to always gift the first cigar out of a new box, in order to promote and demonstrate BOTL generosity and...

Thanks for the compliments. I like your style of smokes. I've shared a few Undercrowns with friends at my regular herfs and they uniformly praised the smokes in all vitolas. But it is easy to like almost any hand-made cigar when it is free. We can review, evaluate, and grade cigars until we get...

We drew Acclaym from the list of folks who nominated Lil Monsters. Everyone's smokes are boxed, labled and ready to ship. I'll drop them off for pickup tomorrow.

Update: I have the Padrons on hand and have a box of Lil Monsters on the way as well as proper packaging stuff from the post office. I'll mail ya'll your stick prizes this week.

My friends like the setup as well. Many of them lost power due to the derecho a couple of Fridays ago, and some just started showing up with bottles and smokes. We had quite the spontaneous party. Got our music off an iPhone library and a battery powered dock/speaker system. And seriously, I...

Thanks. I ordered some of the boxes (free!) from USPS and setup an account for click-and-ship. Grats to you and Gary for the response.

After a truly good meal, an outstanding cigar is still the most satisfying after-dinner activity that doesn't involve two human beings

Judging from my experience and other reviews, you probably got the better smoke. I ordered mine by accident. I originally was going to give the Double Chateaus another go round. The vendor called to tell me that they were out of stock but would replace with another AF sungrown. I heard Queen B...

The ash hang is good for almost half the smoke - at least two inches long.

About a third into the stick, the wrapper threatens to unravel.

Note the dark lines in the ash outlining the burned vein. The just lit cigar is already burning unevenly.

OK, the race is tied 6-6. Kona, I already counted your ballot for the 2000. FYI, I plan on trying a Buena Vista next weekend.,

Your vote was counted. If someone recommends more than one, and the recommendation is ambiguous, I count the first mentioned in the post. However, if anyone would like to double check my arithmetic, please feel free.

Contest ends tomorrow night at mid-night. Are you Padron fans just going to let the TAT team steal this race?

Johnathan Drew did a fly-by in this forum and asked if anyone had tried his Undercrown Corona Viva!s A dealer sent me a couple as a bonus sample with my order. I lit one up last week. It shares the positive qualities of the other smokes in the Undercrown line: easy light; crisp burn, beautiful...

The definition for an advertisement is a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, business, or event. So, it was an advertisement, albeit unpaid and I get no material benefit. I do get the satisfaction of informing other members about a very good source and helping...
