The blushing bride and her sister are heading to Grove City in November to stimulate the economy (shopping spree .... my God!) Some small measure of comfort is that she offered to buy me some cigars while she is down there. Looks like they will cross the border at Buffalo and head south from...

I joined the Lions Club last year and we are hosting a golf tournament to raise money to buy a companion dog for an autistic child. Some of my fellow Lions enjoy a good cigar and my local cigar retailer is sponsoring the putting green. It promises to be a great time. I am just wondering what...

A fellow correction officer just got back from a well deserved vacation. He surprised me with a box of Romeo Y Julieta's Romeo No.1 Tubos I am sure this has been discussed/debated before, but I would love to hear peoples opinions or experience with storing tubo sticks in the humidor. Should I...

A while back a BOTL was making his own custom table. He shared some pictures of his work in progress. I did a search had no luck finding the posting/thread. Admittedly I am a dumby when it comes to properly doing a search. I am going to try and make one of my own based on being inspired by his...

It's been nearly 30 years but I am heading out on a drive to Florida with my wife and two children (2 and 5 years) in tow. Gonna see th outlaws in Clearwater. Wondering if anyone has a recommendation where to drop in on a walk in humidor. I figure I will deserve a treat or two given this is all...

My relatives just returned from a trip to Panama. They were kind enough to think of me when they saw some cigars for sale. They came back with two particular cigars that seem to me to be local products. One is called Old Panama. The bands on these cigars appear old, and worn. Very odd. The...

I have been searching through various online cigar retail sites as well as any walk-in humidor. I have been looking for one particular cigar. It was truly the best cigar I have had the pleasure to smoke. Trouble is that the cigar had no band. My sister-in-law and her husband found the cigar in...

Thought I would share what's happening here in the Great White North. A local cigar retailer here in Oshawa Ontario has put together a night of great food, scotch and of course cigars. Just wish I wasn't working that night. For $80, the food and scotch alone are a bargoon. Unfortunately I have...

Each time I serve this to family and friends it always receives rave reviews. Ingredients: 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts 4 tsp - oregano pesto 4 slices of mozzarella or provolone cheese 4 thin slices of proscuitto ham Italian seasoned bread crumbs 2 - 3 eggs flour for dredging 3 -...

I have never been to the Dominican Republic and have been thinking of planning a trip. Naturally I would want to take advantage of grabbing some fine cigars when I am there. Recently some buddies have told me that if I am going for the purpose of finding great prices for great cigars, forget it...

I recently had a fairly nice cigar (the brand escapes me at the moment) and had some trouble getting the wrapper to burn consistent with the filler. In a nut shell, at the onset the filler burned and the wrapper did not. I could see where the burn was inside the wrapper as there was slight...

I found a good deal (great actually - under $40!) on Arganese Nicaraguan Robusto's, the full flavoured ones. Should be arriving up here courtesy of a good buddy in a week. Wondering if anyone else has enjoyed these cigars. I am always looking to taste different cigars. A very favourite cigar...

So Sean Avery is known to have a big mouth. After brushing his teeth he has a habit of rinsing with Dessonex Foot Powder. I hear on a local sports radio channel that the Rangers are serious about giving him another chance if Dallas puts him on Call Up Waivers. Who would want to take a chance...

My wife was at the local Loblaws (large grocery chain here in Ontario Canada) and called with a question or two. After dealing with that, I asked if she would mind dropping by the smoke shop at Loblaws and pick up a couple of sticks for me. I gave her my list of preferences. She called a few...

I have tried a search of the forums for some of the terms and abbreviations, ie: B&H etc with no luck. Quite a few of the posts use various abbreviations that I have not figured out. Either I'm brain dead or the late night feedings with my new baby daughter have taken their toll. Any chance...

A while back I shared my experience with an online cigar retailer. View post here. Today I received an email from that merchant addressed to anyone who had a less that positive experience with him. In the email he made the effort to apologize for the "concerns and inconvenience". And while the...

I was told by a local cigar retailer that in a few short weeks (May) that walk in customers will no longer be able to access his humidor. It seems that our local Provincial goverment (similar to the State level of government in the USA) has decreed that citizens of Ontario will no longer be able...

I would love to hear recommendations on any web retailer who will ship their cigars to Canada. This can be particularly problematic given the duties/taxes involved for Canadian citizens as non gifts are taxed up the ying yang.

Hi guys: Would this be the proper forum to post a caution about a web cigar retailer? Would it be bad form? Don't want to do anything improper here.

When I was a young lad, my father enjoyed cigars daily. One his friends gave him a box of cigars as a gift. Naturally, as a curious 14 yr old, I pinched a stick or two and took them to highschool to puff on out behind the greenhouse at the back of the school. The one thing I always remember...
