MMM, burnt beetle! Has anyone experinced seing a beetle jump out of the cigar to avoid the fiery demise? :laugh: Or maybe saw some burnt beetle/larva carcasses? Sorry for the corniness, I'm just trying to releive some frustration.

Yeah, I have read about freezing and will definitely do so when I receive the cigars. Here's an off question, but if beetles did hatch into larvae and were still in the cigar when you froze them will they impart a taste? Just wondering. And as far as vendors, one will definitely replace it...

The USPS has some how lost not one but two cigar packages that I have coming to me. One has been misplaced for a week and a half, the other box has been lost for almost a week. The people at USPS have been very unhelpful and I have spoken to a dozen people in two offices including supervisors...

Speaking of heavy breathing. But am I the only one here who can't take his eyes off of Mark Twain's picture of Monica Belluci? She is just so gorgeous and the picture is just so...that I can't think of the important things here, that is cigars! :p Better make sure my wife doesn't sneak up on...

Well, My wife was hanging out with her sister this evening so it afforded me a chance to try two cigars in one evening. I decided to try a PAN Exclusivo and a Padron 126 #35 maduro. Both cigars burned perfectly, neither needing a touch-up at all. All the cigars that I have been smoking the...

Where do you add your snail mail to your profile? I don't see it in the profile settings. ???

PAM Exclusivo! Awesome 2 hours in my freezing garage!

Nice review. I just smoked one of these myself last night! MMMM cinnamon, I also sensed this on the prelight draw! The PAMs are great cigars and are worth the price to me.

Ok, so I am here at work and I switch to standard view and I see the thread as I like it. When I switch to a different page it switches back to outline. At home the view is kept at standard all the time. How can I make this default? I think I have checked everywhere but I cannot figure it...

Great! Thanks a lot!

Hi, I am having a hard time figuring out how to change thread views. At home, I can view the threads and the replys all on one page. At work, I only see the original topic and then a drop down list where I have to click on the link to view the message. I would like to set my view at work to...

That's very true. I guess I time myself as my wife gives me about an hour to smoke before she usually comes looking for me.

Oh boy, Major newb mistake. Moderators, please move this to the cigar reviews forum. Thanks and sorry about that! Duane

That's for sure. My wife commented that she could probably fit in the cooler!

So, how long does it take for you to smoke a cigar? I ask this because it takes me a lot longer to finish a cigar than what I have read in other posts. Sure, it depends on the size but let's take a petite corona that measures 4 inches long. I've read people finishing these in half an hour but...

I've tried the Enchantment and it was very .... bland. No taste, no substance, no texture, nothing. It might have been the way that it was stored at the B&M that I purchased it from. The two others in the box were extremely DRY. I've purchased 3 other sizes in the VSG line from a different...

Well, here's my first cigar review and the cigar is the CAO Novella. I picked this cigar up from one of my local B&Ms about a month ago and it has been sitting in my cooler since. The first thing I notice after I pull the cigar from the cello is that the cello is very brown tinged. I have...

The video clip really helped a lot! I lit a CAO Novella up the other night just the same way and it had that rich creamy sensation that I experienced before! The only problem I saw was that I had to touch up the center a little bit as it didn't get lit but that first puff was heaven! Anyway...

Hi all, Just wanted to let anyone know who might be interested, Costco in Lincoln Park has a few 165 qt Max Cold Igloo coolers in stock for 75 bucks. I just bought one and will be setting it up with cedar and 2 lbs of heartfelt beads that I purchased during their sale. I'll post pics when it...

CigarHo, Unfortunately, I am that newbie on the other side of the floor with the foot engulfed in flames. That is until you guys showed me the light. (Ha I made a funny) :laugh:
