    Xikar and TSA/Airport Security?

    I have used plastic cigar cutters in the past but part of why I got this (I got one for home and one for on the road) was so I could have a reliable cutter (I find some of the plastic ones, even when new, questionable). I don't like cutting the cigars beforehand because I have no guarantees how...

    Xikar and TSA/Airport Security?

    MrPeat, hopefully that's the rare time and not the norm. I'm very heartened by the number of people that don't have an issue with TSA when going through with their cutters. I wonder if it's a question of it being solid metal versus something with plastic or wood.

    Xikar and TSA/Airport Security?

    Hopefully this is the right forum but if not, apologies. I recently purchased an Xikar X3 Spectra. I'd really like to not put it in my checked luggage when travelling (since we know how well luggage is getting around these days, particularly at my home airport of JFK). I've contemplated...

    Today's Smoke

    Ouch! I'd hate to imagine going 3 weeks without a single cigar to enjoy. :( Hopefully, you'll get better soon and will be able to enjoy some. I had a Padron 3000 and a Rocky Patel Rosado. What a great way to enjoy a nice evening. :)

    Smokes a Davidoff Winston Churchill #10 on the way to dinner and a Drew Estate Dirt on the way back (for dessert since it's a sweet-flavoured cigar). :) Made for a nice walk to and from.

    A cigar tale

    Might want to check with Snopes on this one: http://www.snopes.com/crime/clever/cigarson.asp Unless they actually list the trial info (so-n-so vs so-n-so) there is little way this can be proved. Notice that the story doesn't list the lawyer's name nor the insurance company's name.

    Mexican Cigars

    I went, earlier this year, to Mexico City for work and went in search of a good Mexican cigar. I found that the Te Amos was bitter and unpleasant. But I did get a nice surprise with a Lieb (100 is mild and 300 full). I found only one place online sells them...
