I use a coolerdor for my boxes of stock, but I also have an old desktop humidor that I bought a long time ago for single and ready-to-smoke sticks. I recently saw that CheapHumidors.com is on the scumbag list, so where else online can I find a nice desktop humidor? Obviously, there's CBid...

Made one this morning and enjoyed it on the way to work with a Partagas Short. Life is good! :) I used to think you had to have an espresso machine to make cafe cubano or cafe con leche, but recently find out there is another way. Of course, you can do this just as easily with an espresso...

Anyone out there know a website that sells Japanese market exclusive whisk(e)ys? By this, I'm talking about scotches and bourbons that are made just for the Japanese Market, like Johnnie Walker 1820 or Wild Turkey Tribute.

I noticed that of all the scotches I've ever bought, I always seem to go for the really well-known, highly-acknowledged distilleries. Glenlivet, Macallan, Highland Park, Lagavulin, Balvenie, Glenmorangie, Laphroig, etc. etc. But I'm curious to expand my horizons (especially after reading some...

I've got myself a sixer of Extra Stout, ready to celebrate! :thumbs: http://www.250.guinness.com.lbwa.ntt.net/en-row/250-index.html EDIT: Don't forget to raise your glass at 17:59 (that's 5:59 PM for you non-military) in honor of the year Art signed the lease on the St. James Gate Brewery!

In October of 2008, the Oliva Cigar Family released the Olive Serie V Maduro Especial Torpedo. It was a limited release to certain vendors of only 500 boxes of 10 cigars each. I managed to acquire a few single sticks from that release and I hoarded them away for almost a year now. Recently, I...

For some reason, I get really anal retentive about what to pair Cohibas with. Maybe it's the price tag thing. Usually, I play it safe and just drink coffee (usually something espresso-based or cafe con leche). Had mixed results before with Spanish brandy and cognac. Tried Chartreuse once...

I haven't seen this posted anywhere here (if I did, forgive my bad eyes), so I thought I'd go through the latest list of what's on the chopping block for 2009. READ IT CAREFULLY and remember IT'S ONLY A DRAFT, NOT ENTIRELY FINALIZED YET. Only the first section, "New Cigar Deletions," are...

Many vendors are displaying pics of the new Padilla Miami with the new bands and boxes. Some display the old semi-boite nature boxes and old bands...but I'm not sure if they're just lazy about updating their site. :laugh: So does anyone know for sure if any online vendors are still selling...

I'm taking a shot at my very first whisk(e)y review, so here goes nuthin'....... Grant's The Family Reserve Blended Scotch Whisky No Age Statement 40% ABV In addition to a good selection of single malts, I usually keep a bottle of blended whisky around to indulge my guilty pleasure: Scotch...

Just kidding! ;)

Link to the Podcast Link to another article by Greenberg about travel to Cuba I was listening to NPR while driving home and they were airing the weekly guest speaker of the Commonwealth Club of California: Peter Greenberg, famous travel writer and travel editor for NBC's Today. He was talking...

In the next month or so, I'll probably be stopping through Bloomington, IN where the Big Red Liquors store has an outstanding selection of Scotch, including lots of merchant bottlings from Signatory (picked up a Signatory-bottled, non-chill filtered Highland Park 14YO there last time that was...

Sound off. What, in your opinion, is the best bottle of the Glenlivet range that can be easily found in stores (read: not the rare vintage bottled stuff), in terms of the taste-to-price ratio? The regular 12 YO? The 15 YO French Oak Reserve? Nadurra? Thanks in advance, guys. :thumbs:

Call me stubborn, but I rarely give up on a brand after one or two bad experiences. Though the Davidoffs I've tried in the past have never been REALLY bad, they've never been much good either. First one I ever had was a Millenium Brand Robusto with no flavor whatsoever (but looking back and...

Here's a brand I heard great things about when I first began venturing into online cigar forums, but I never actually got to try. I can remember when this brand and Bucanero were THE sticks to have. If you had Bucs or La Lunas to trade, you could get anything. People were trading away Montes...

My landlord/liquor merchant (yes, you read that right, my landlord owns the liquor store on the first floor) recently started carrying a curious new thing: Old Grand-Dad 114. I almost got a bottle, since it was very reasonably priced, but I've got a lot of bourbon on my shelf right now and...

Talked about for a while, decided I'd finally freaking do it. Last year, I renounced Cuban snobbery. I finally came full circle and realized that, while Cuban cigars are great, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic are also producing excellent cigars. Going back and looking at all...
