So no one has had any problems even with a Xikar cutter? I am getting ready to fly in a few weeks to see my newborn niece/nephew whichever the baby may be and I would like to be able to enjoy myself along the way as my layovers are a couple of hours each time I stop. Also since we are kind of on...

Cliphead's Crew-- Thanks for the contest

435 thanks for the contest!!

Revisited this stick last night and was much more impressed than the first time. I, like you, found wonderful floral tones upon first lighting up which later subdued to the tone of black cherry and vanilla through most of the stick. The last couple of inches gave way to an undertone of clove and...

Thank you to everyone for all of the ideas. I had never thought of a raffle for an incentive. The Costco idea is also a good one but the closest one is in Billings 2 hours away. Sheridan is where the shop is located and is now a town of about 25000 and gets to be much more full during the...

He actually holds what he calls "King's Hours" on Thurs and Fri nights from 4-8pm...we had just been talking about maybe doing an event that he could possibly host. In hopes that he could not only promote the shop but try and get more of the folks interested in cigars together at the same time...

I tried to search for info on this but didn't find what I was looking for... I have been talking with the owner of my local shop about the possibility of setting up a HERF. We are both fairly new to the world of cigars so neither of us really know what the details are in hosting such an event...

Hope the surgery goes well for you and the recovery is speedy and as painless as possible. By the way, what a great avatar...it mesmerizes me every time I read one of your posts. Mike

Hey all, Just wondering if any events are coming up in Wyoming or maybe even the Billings, MT area...and also how a lowly newb such as myself would get invited to one of these. Any info helps... Mike

My first experience with this particular stick was not even close to what you experienced, actually it was more of what you probably thought of the master and the vulcan. Fortunately, I do have another of these in hibernation...maybe I will give it a few more weeks and try it again. Thanks for...

??? Costco just sucked their monthly piece of life out of me today in Billings, MT... I would have to say that Costco definitely carries quality products. My wife and I have been making a monthly commute to Billings for Costco since we moved to Wyoming and we have tried a lot of the Kirkland...

3rd rule is that the first two rules do not exist?? Am I getting the hang of this?? Mike

Understood...

Is the chat room ever open?? I would like to get the chance to actually talk to some of you guys. Ask questions and get responses, build a friendship...etc.

This is where I currently stand as well. And I'm not so much worried about what I am smoking or what others think I should smoke. In the end the cigars that will be in my humi will be what I like. I just like recommendations from others about what they like and what they liked about it...

Thanks for the info... first of all I would have never known to punch the top of the cigar and secondly I like a full-bodied smoke once in a while. If it's over the top then I guess I will soon know after lighting it if I like it or not. Mike

Okay guys, I have to ask, I have some experience with cigars and am not afraid to try almost any...what's the deal with the LFD Chisel?? I have actually been considering ordering the LFD 5-pk sampler ligero blend perfectos...is this not a good place to start?? I just can't help that every time I...

That's exactly what I don't want to happen!! But I'll take it in stride and if it shows up in my mail box then your waste of money will create nice warmth in my fireplace. And, just remember how the old saying goes, payback is hell and I return favors in double or triple the fashion. :cool:

WOW!!

This brought back great memories for me. I have to completely agree... the cigars I even seem to remember are not the premiums I bought at the local shop. It's the ones that I smoked during big occassions. Weddings both of friends and my own, graduations, the first cigar I smoked the day I...
