What is the minimum character limit for individual words when trying to use the search function? For example, I just ordered a box of a CAO blend I'd never had before (CAO Nicaragua, it was on clearance) and before I bought it I was trying to search here to see if anyone had done a previous...

I received a message that John Crowder - known here as @KayakinBoy - passed away unexpectedly a couple of days ago. I know he hasn't been around here recently, but I'm sure that some of the guys that have been around for a while will remember him. I first met John in December of 2004. He came...

Happy Festivus everyone! Commence the Airing of Grievances and Feats of Strength.

Last week I saw a post in the Spirits forum where @cabaiguan juan mentioned the practice of adding a few saline drops to whiskey as a flavor enhancer. I'm a big whiskey guy, but I had never heard of such a thing. When I mentioned I'd like to try that, Jon graciously offered to send some saline...

...but I released a song a couple of months ago that may be pertinent to some people's interest here. It's called "Cigars and Whiskey" (if you don't like country, you may not like it). It's available on all of the streaming music services, but it can also be found for free on YouTube. If...

http://www.1stclasshumidors.com/cigar-humidors/cabinet-humidors-furniture/1500-cigar-cabinet-humidor.html I'm close to pulling the trigger on this. The price seems a little too good to be true. Does anybody have any experience with this company?

I found this place on Dec. 9th, 2004. I still like it here. Eric

Does anybody here have this? I'm trying to decide if it's worth it.

Does anybody recognize this lighter? I've had it for over 10 years now and I don't remember the model name. I'm pretty sure it's discontinued but I was wondering if I can find an older one somewhere. It's by far the best lighter I've ever owned. I've never had a single problem with it...

I always felt a little guilty seeing a post at the top of this forum with a dead link to the old Newbie Guide, so I made a new one. I edited the original post that is stickied to include the new link. If anybody has any suggestions for things I can add to it, let me know. This one is much...

We get a lot of people who join up and post questions without making a post in the intro forum first. This usually results in a few "hey, why don't you post an intro first?" responses. However, the Intro Forum is halfway down the page so I'm guessing a lot of new people don't immediately see...

UPDATE (original post below): Based on golfgar's suggestion, I've created a calendar on teamup.com for anyone interested in sharing their travel dates and destinations. The link provided will allow modification privileges, so you can click on a date(s) and add an event. I simply put my CP...

The wife and I are heading back out to Vegas in October. Typically on a Vegas trip I'll seek out a cigar bar at least once to relax with a stick and a drink. Occasionally, I'll fire up a cigar on the casino floor if the mood strikes and circumstances are right. I will never sit down at a...

I won a fiver of these playing the Beat The Dealer app from JR Cigars, so I figured I'd do my first review on here in 9 years (Not a joke, the date of my last review post is 5/30/07. Click on it if you want to see how far camera phones have advanced in 9 years...

I slept on the floor of the airport in Minneapolis last night. It was fantastic. And by "fantastic" I mean "not fantastic".

Not that I'm getting tired of bourbon, scotch, and beer (tip of the hat to John Lee Hooker), but I think I'd like to start getting into rum beyond Bacardi and Myers's. Can anyone point me in the direction of some decent rums and (non-frozen) cocktail ideas?

So a buddy of mine was getting rid of an old side-by-side fridge and offered it to me for free to use as a beer fridge. I had been thinking about getting a kegerator, so since I was getting a free fridge I started researching kegerator conversion kits. I figured if I screwed up the fridge I...

I left my Xikar that I've had for nearly 10 years in a golf cart in Pigeon Forge, TN. I went to my local B&M to pick up a replacement. When I got there, I noticed they were having a sale on the Palio cutters. After hearing nothing but positive reviews over the course of several years, I...

The wife and I are headed to Vegas next month for our 10th anniversary trip. First time we've been back since the honeymoon. We've already got tickets to a couple of shows, but I'm looking for something kind of cheesy and stereotypically "vegas" to do. Think along the lines of "3.99 steak...

I'm guessing a good bit of you don't know me since my posts are few and far between these days.  For those of you who have been here a while, hey again.  I'm just checking in to make sure the place hasn't burned down  :D   In other news, I started a new job in December that sends me all over the...
