Let me just impart some ultimate wisdom. 1) Keep your humidor at 70RH and 70 degrees. 2) Only buy double banded cigars. The more bands, the better they are. 3) Actually, the more expensive they are, the better they are too. Especially barrel aged cigars infused with cognac or whiskey. 4)...

But I still managed to get a second bun in the oven... Excited to announce that I'm still around, just distracted by a very pregnant wife (just finishing up first trimester) and it looks like we're having a second. :D With two semesters left of my undergrad, a second job writing up video game...

So I’ve been wanting to work on this project forever and I’m finally getting around to it. I run two wineadors at the moment since the relative temp in MN (and in my house) changes so much. In the winter my wife and I just wanna be warm fast so 76-80 degrees is normal. In the summer, quite the...

Man, I've missed this place! :) Just wanted to share an update on the happenings. Fair warning, it's a bit intense, but all is well that ends well. Last time I was around consistently, I'd just been hit in the gut with my dad's suicide attempt, and I'd found out I was a father. Interesting set...

When you tell people you're having a baby, you hear some pretty horrifying stories. People say stuff like: "My baby had horrible colic, so I didn't sleep for 96 days straight. And then I was hospitalized." or "My baby pooped all over my face every time I changed his diaper. It was like a...

Woohoo! We’ve got a date! Baby was upside down (as stubborn as mom and Dad combined, it appears) and despite our many rigorous attempts to flip him, he won’t budge. So we’ve got a planned c-section on the books!! This Friday! So we’re looking at an April 2018 birthday! Which means, I better...

My goodness! Tax season has kept me busy. I’ve spent nearly every waking moment running numbers and packaging returns, helping my Dad at his office. But I still had time (between snowstorms) to smoke one spectacular cigar that was sent to me by Bill. And I know, I’m posting a review at the 11th...

You think you've got it all figured out. You're bracket is set. You've got all the pieces in the right places. And then you open your mailbox and BOOM. The mailbox bracket is blown to smithereens. Never trust a guy from Kansas. Oh... you thought I meant that March Madness thing?! :D :D :D...

Johnny O - EL Genio My cigar smoking is a bit funny being from Minnesota. The temp drops to negative numbers, and by February a high of 35 feels sweltering, but what I’ve noticed lately is how this major shift in temperature (and as a result, in personal habits) affects my taste profile...

Let’s give it another shot. I’m in the mood to lose some sticks. I’ll take the Vikings against the Packers at Lambeau in a straight up bet for five cc sticks. Any takers?

Ok here's the deal! Vikes have the Bengals, the Packers, and Bears left on the season, and then they're heading straight for the Superbowl, right?! I can sense the distrust from here. If you think me full of purple blood and drinking the gold Kool-aid, let's put some sticks on it. I'll take...

Do not be deceived by my teams slow start in this years fantasy football league. I am poised and ready for a dramatic comeback and playoff victory. I have been stealthily making moves and I'm on the cusp of a comeback. Beware the feelin. I'm hooked on A. Thielen.

Yesterday I went out to the mailbox, and flew back a few hundred yards as a bomb went off... @CigSid went nuclear. I'd send pictures... but it'd just be dirt. House gone. Mailbox decimated. Nothing left. Thank you so much Bill for these sticks! I will put them to good use. This place is a...

Hey Guys, My father is one of the most gregarious guys I know. He's a lot like me. Always optimistic, always making people laugh, and in times of crisis, he is a rock. This last Tuesday, my father attempted to take his own life with a gun. He is in critical condition in the hospital, and by...

Boom goes the dynamite! Thanks @Johnny B for the beautiful coasters! These things are so rad and completely unnecessary! :) So glad to hear the wedding went awesome and the cigars are living up to their namesake!!

So there I am, sitting in my Tuesday night class, when I get an anxious call from my wife. "Brian," she says. "You got a package in the mail. Now, I know normally we don't open each others mail because once or twice we've ruined a surprise gift, but I figured it was probably a cigar order... so...

Might as well start a new thread because it's practically February now. I'll kick it off - 5er of Illusione Phantoms A box of the 2017 deceased list Bolivar Corona Gigante and a half-box of the Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro

Hi Everyone, I'd say its high time for a contest, doncha' kno? So as many of you are aware, I tend to smoke outdoors through the terrible Minnesota winter. I've been battle tested in cold, horrible weather and still stayed committed to enjoying a stick despite whatever stands in my way. Here...

It has to be done. I can't handle the Packers. Hate em. But currently this year I'm like 0-16 on football related bets. I'm counting on that luck to continue. So I'd like to bet an all cuban fiver for the Packers to win against the Falcons next week. Who will help me out and take the Falcons?

Alright, so this might be a pretty obvious one, but I have a question here. I walked into a local shop with a cuban in hand and asked the shop owner if he had any Opus in stock. I've been to this shop a few times, but since I primarily smoke cc's, I often don't visit local shops for anything...
