In addition to my passion for cigars, I also enjoy working out and for the past couple of years I have been following a very strict nutrional plan. I either follow a bulk type diet where my nutrional macros include carbs, protiens and fats or a ketogenic diet which contains very limited amounts...

has not been the most fun in terms of my professional life. The economy hit me hard but our business managed to survive and is now starting to profit again. I know money is not everything, but with a family to support, it took a huge toll. Well, all is much better now and I look forward to...

I opened my last box of Oliva V Maduro (no wrap on these boxes) and the cigars inside were pretty wet (spongy to touch) and I'm trying to figure out what could be the cause. This box was located at the bottom of my Aristocrat Mini and have been in there for 8-9 months. I had a couple of boxes on...

I was visiting my dad in Franklin, Tennessee this weekend and we needed to stop for beer and I noticed the b&m also had cigars. I walked into the humidor and was immediatley struck with this strong scent of cedar - same as the smeel in ceadr chests. :0 I looked at the walls and saw the familiar...

Having finally outgrown my two desktops in four years and getting the wife's approval while meeting her requirments (no coolers and limited space to put it) I ordered a mini back in February. I ordered the standard one in maple with the digital set & forget humidification. It arrived a couple...

Cigar King is having a special on 10 packs of Hemingway Classic for $49.95.

My neighbor (again) dropped off some "cuban" cigars in a box as he doesn't smoke and knew I enjoyed cigars. They are R&J Short Churchills (non-tubed) in a box labeld "5 Short Churchills." I don't know if they make them in a 5 pack but these cigars look very suspect to me. I'm no expert but...

I've been wanting one of these for a while and one came up on sale at Home Depot for nearly half off. The wife said "there's your Christmas present." 40,000 BTU: Tried it out the other night when the outside temp was 32F. Tried to measure the temp with the heater on and sitting down a couple...

Although I didn't win according to his challenge found here: Guessing Numbers Steve was very kind and sent me a great "consolation" prize for my guess; what an awesome surprise! Thanks man, but I knew it was coming :laugh:

Smoked another Shark from '05 and it was awesome. Compared to those having only 1 year of age, it mellowed out some more with less sweetness and a little less kick to it which seemed just right to me. I know it's subjective, but what are others' experiences with more age on them? Does it...

Okay, I'm not drunk I swear but I wonder if anyone out there believes that you can predict or influence the outcome of an event. I beleive it is possible and the way it happens for me, in the case of the contest, is that a number just appears in my mind an it just feels right. Focusing the mind...

Why the two differences in the HDM label? Tried search and couldn't find the answer. Came accross this cigar which I've never seen before in person. Also does this look legit cause the red color in the label looks a bit washed out?: When looking at other images for this cigar I see this in...

So, I happen to be looking at the latest cigar girl and didn't notice my 9 year old son looking over my shoulder. Didn't know what to say, so the first thing out of my mouth was "What do you think about girls smoking cigars" First he says it's gross because he thinks smoking is terrible but then...

Is there a cigar with a longer name? Purchased this cigar in May of last year. I wanted to start off the celebration of my wedding anniversary today with something a little different then the usual Fuente, Padron, Padilla smokes I've ben smoking of late. Maybe I should have waited till later...

Having just enjoyed the perfect barbeque last night of chicken and ribs and it still being early, I decided to celebrate the end of the summer (and celebration of kids going back to school) and break out this huge stick. Bought about a year ago it is a thing of beauty; big, dark and perfectly...

I won a 5 pack of these from c-bid but I can't find any reference for this size. The cigars measure 5.6" x 46 ring. I've only had a lancero before so I was looking to try some others. Anyone know anything about this size? -Larry

I'm no expert on ISOMs but noticed some obvious issues with these cigars. I'm looking for help in understanding what else is wrong with these so that I can let the seller know the truth about them. I don't want to get into where I got them from so please feel free to PM me if you'd like some...

I know they were away last month, but two calls after that date, a week apart and no call back. Any one talk with them recently?

Recently purchased a small aluminum humidifier (65%) from Heartfelt and after installation, my hygrometer is reading a constant 60%. Followed the directions and added 10cc of distilled water. Hygrometer has been recently calibrated and my DM 150 ct. humidor has a perfect seal. The previous...

Just received the Heartfelt Aluminum humidifier and was wondering if I need to fill with distilled water upon arrival? Instructions say it's preconditioned and ready to go but I wasn't sure if that meant it was filled already. Thanks, Larry
