I got a rock.

Every time I hit flea markets/antique shops with the Warden I am on the lookout for the Swiss Army cigar knife at non-eBay prices.

Was taking pictures of similar items and thought I’d receive this zombie thread. All my cutters in one pic. A couple promos, a Montecristo cutter (maroon) and key punch, the wooden punch was my first ever cigar accessory from 1993, a Xikar Xi3 and V2, an Aging Room scissor cutter and a Les Fines...

Five Pack Fever worked out to $4/stick. I’ve had the Revelation, AVO Nic and Melanio before, and the Banker and Flathead were highly recommended. I know NOTHING about the Man o’ War Armada or the entire Marca. Everything I read said “great but really expensive.”

It’s not too big but it’s heavy as hell. That’s a slim Zippo next to it.

I picked up this Parker No. 125 for $20 at a local flea market last weekend. These were made for Parker of London (USA) by Dunhill and from what I’ve researched, it’s simply a rebranded Dunhill. This one dates to the ‘50s-‘60s. Not much work needed for this one. Just a quick polishand a repack...

This one is coming to the house on Wednesday. My second Meer from Meerschaum Gallery AKA Pipes Depot on eBay. Very reasonably priced and the quality is exceptional. Very excited!

One cigar and an empty box? You can't build up a humidor like that!

There are always some smaller retailers that ignore state laws, but most online retailers don't (such as those of Utah and Hawaii currently) and most make their shipping policies known on their websites. So Illusione complied with the new laws for part of their lineup and can only sell those...

Insane isn’t it? I think 60 might be a conservative estimate for RP!

Dunbarton is removing California Prop 65 warnings form boxes, so that makes sense that online retailers won't be able to ship those smokes there.

A judge denied a temporary restraining order filed by the industry hoping to prevent the law from going into effect on January 1, 2026. As a result. manufacturers who did not register their products on the "Unflavored Tobacco List" by October 9th cannot sell a product in California on January 1...

Box code CON or PEN?

My backyard oasis and my happy place. The patio, retaining wall and fire pit were all built with my own hands.

In CT, there is a price floor on all booze, so Costco price's are in line with the big box stores like Total Wine. Every now and then you find a unicorn like a few months ago they had Lagavulin Offerman Edition Caribbean Cask for $59. A friend who owns a liquor store in Jersey said he couldn't...

This is fantastic. I live just west of Hartford and will keep an eye open for future events. Thanks for sharing.

That’s a solid haul! Quality as well as quantity. I was looking at the haul from one of the other recent festivals on Reddit and was very underwhelmed. Looked like stuff manufacturers found on an old shelf. I gotta get up to this place.

I see what you did there.

Box arrived today. Pictured with my 1990 baseball jersey. Sometimes a cigar just has your name on it. 😂
