These are my 1st LAa Palina sticks. Bought a box of Red and Black Label. Are La Palina sticks normally rolled up tighter than a nun's arse? I've lit up 3 Black Labels so far and each one needed to have it cored to loosen it up. It was like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose. The...

I just heard about these today on Instagram. I guess it's an updated blend by AJ. I have yet to have anything by AJ that I didn't like. I had a gift card to use, I picked up a 5-pack of the Magnums to try. I have high hopes for this stick. Anyone tried one yet?

Wondering what types of cigars are good when you are extremely pissed off.... Not last night, the night before, a car rolled up in front of our house at 1:15am, and stopped right next to our other car. My "wifes" car. 15 or so minutes later, my catalytic converter was gone. Only know this from...

I feel like I made a big score. At least compared to how much I pay at B&M store them. I scored a box of 20 Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Maestro with taxes, out the door 89 bucks. Using the sale, coupons, and free shipping, I feel like it's a steal. Plus, I get 50.00 store credit with the...

I have a wineador. The temp is set to 66F, and sometimes get a few degrees lower, average 63-66F. I'll post a pic of my setup below. I recently have redone the inside of my windeador. I added in all the blocks of spanish cedar, they weren't in there before. I added all that open space at the...

I did a search and couldn't find a post about JRCigars Oracle cigar. Has anyone tried the Oracle cigar from JRCigar? It seems reasonably priced and I'd like to try it if it's worth the money. I'll put it on my list of cigars to buy and try. Thanks. Eli

I've search Google and looked for pics, but I can't find the answer to my question. I've found some green(ish) spot(s) on a few cigar wrappers. All the same cigar. My question is this: can cigar mold be wiped off or scraped off? Can it be "in" The cigar wrapper, like part of the wrapper? I've...

I've seen talk about nano collodial silver used to wipe down cigars and so forth for mold issues. When I go on Amazon and do a search there are many different types, and different strengths. What strength would you recommend (PPM?) and is there a preferred brand most cigar guys go with, or as...

It was a toss up between what forum to post this. Since, I have another post to make, it is more likened to the humidor forum. So, I'll place this one here since, although border line, it's more about what I did, not the humidor itself. I noticed that in my wineador that the temperature was off...

Here is what I use for an ashtray. I picked it up at walmart for about 3 bucks. Works great for the most part. However, if I want to set down my cigar it slides to the middle, naturally. I've been trying to figure out how to jimmy-rig this thing to set my cigars down and coming up short. I'm...

I saw a Lotus serrated V-cutter on CI the other day, think it was called Jaws something. Anyway, it looks really cool and I was in the market for a new cutter. I have been putting up with a cheapo V cutter given to me for free by CI on an order I place. It cut a V, but many times, ripped it...

Hello, So, when I order cigars from places online, and get the free shipping, it takes a few days to a week to receive my order. When I receive my order, it's just cigars wrapped in plastic. I'm assuming they dry out during shipping. They feel dry to me anyways. Is there a general rule of...

Anyone ever want to have a cigar, but you have so many different cigars, and good ones, that you don't know which one you want to smoke, and which one you want to save? I have a bountiful humidor right now, but I'm not sure what I want to smoke today and what I want to save for another day. So...

Hi! I am checking out travel humidors as something to maybe invest in at a later date. Trying to do my homework now, so I have an idea of how much I'm looking at. I see much talk about the Herf a Dor. I started looking them over. They actually don't seem to have very many "good" reviews. I...

Hello, I was just curious where people tend to buy their cigars, more specifically, online. I've been buying from cigar international, and cigar com, and then a few singles from my local shop. I feel like I've had some good deals from those sites and since I'm on a budget I check out their...

Ah, the fourth of July. America's birthday... It's 8am here. Is it too early to light one up? Do cigars have the adage it's 5:00 somewhere rule as well? :cool:

Hi, So I just took a new sponge and wiped the inside of my wine fridge down on the inside with straight distilled white vinegar. I'm letting it sit for an hour or two, then I'll wash it good with distilled water. I'm going to put some baking soda in the fridge and leave it for a day or two...

I read through the sticky on this issue. It made sense, but maybe this early in the morning it's not fully coming together for me :) Based on what the guy at my cigar shop suggested, I bought 72% humidity packs. However, in Sacramento, it is frickin hot. And although my AC is turned on, the...

Hello, New to the forums, and fairly new to cigars. I've smoked cigars in the past, but never really got into them as I'm doing now. I was a pipe smoke for a little while. Anyways, at the moment, I'm using an acrylic humidor and a Boveda bag system to store the remainder of my cigars...
