Pete Johnson is coming to Holts Thursday in the Northeast and Friday in Center City. Anybody else thinking of going? I'm on a rare week off from work this week, was thinking of stopping down on Friday afternoon maybe.

I know a lot of people here do this, but I saw with my last post that I was at 999 and thought it was a good idea to take the time to say some things here with my 1000th post. I just want to say that this place is great, the best internet community I've been a part of. I've made some good...

What do you guys think about another HERF down at Mahogs on Walnut? Been a while since the last one, which was a huge success with people coming from far away lands. I know with the holidays it might be tough, but maybe a mid-December winter-time smoke is in order, to get in from the cold...

I think I got this smoke from either a bomb, or a trade... or maybe a pass! I didn't start keeping track of where I got smokes from until some time after I got this one. I've had the #5 before, but this is my first #4. These smokes are rolled at the Fuente factory in the Dominican Republic...

Through a fellow BOTL I was able to score a handful of these new Tatuaje Regios Reservas. I love the Regios, so I figured I would love these too. There isn't a whole lot of info about these available yet. However, by one account, Pete Johnson has stated these are Connecticut Broadleaf...

Origin: Nicaragua Length: 5 5/8 Ring Gauge: 46 Wrapper: Dark Natural Connecticut Broadleaf Filler: Nicaragua As a fan of the Tatuaje smokes, I was surprised when I smoked a Cabaiguan last year and didn't really care for it. Then I found out about the Guapo line which featured a different...

It's a sad day for Philadelphia and the entire sporting world. He will be missed. He was the voice of the Phillies and NFL Films after John Facenda. He was an avid cigar smoker... often smoking a churchill sized stogie in the announcers booth in the old days. Link

Mostly because I'm bored... but either way keep your heads down ;) 0103 8555 7497 5348 9975 0103 8555 7497 6397 5734

I'm working over the weekend, sucks! Last night after a hard night's work I decided to relax with a Sam Adams White Ale and a stick I haven't tried before. Por Larranaga Exclusivo Asia Pacifico 50 x 4.9 RE 2007 Limited Release This smoke has nearly flawless construction. A dark and fairly...

Over the past year or so I found myself buying a ton of these Pepin-made Padilla 1932 smokes... and I liked each one better than the last. Now they're a favorite for me. As you know, Padilla has recently taken over the production of these smokes from Pepin, rolling them in his own factory...

I was given two of these smokes in a trade a while back. This is the first Mag 46 I've smoked. The oily, light brown wrapper had no major flaws, although it felt fairly soft to the touch. The bunch was even and the pre-light smell didn't have much more than a tobacco smell to it. After...

Had a long week last week and wanted to celebrate the weekend with one I've never had before. I've had other Cohibas but have never had the pleasure of trying one from the Siglo series. I don't know the year on this, but I've had it for about 9 months so I would guess it has about 1-2 years on...

I recently acquired this cigar from a BOTL here. I've never had any ERDM so I was eager to try it. It was supposed to be an Eagles celebration smoke but it turned into a consolation smoke. Either way I was excited heh. El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme 5 x 48 Hermoso No. 4 Corona Extra...

After working 15 days straight with only one day off beginning the Monday before Christmas, last night when I got home from work I felt it was time to relax and celebrate a couple days off with a cigar. I dug through the cooler and found this San Cristobal by Ashton I had picked up about 9...

I was cleaning out some files from my web hosting space and found some pics of one of my first humidors I bought after being a member of CP for only a couple months. A lot of us post pics of our first humidors and cooler setups, and the more experienced FOG's post pics of their walk-in...

Tonight it was just me and the dog hanging out. So I decided to pull this VR Famosos out of the cooler and have a beer (or 4). I picked up a fiver of these from a great BOTL and have smoked four so far. They have been great experiences outside of my first one being plugged. I poured a glass...

I received this smoke in a trade a while back. This is my first time smoking the legendary Montecristo #2. The cigar had some give in the fingers... not too firm. I've heard about how these can be hit or miss as far as the taste and the draw, I figured what better time to find out than on the...

Named after Edmundo Dantes, hero of Alexandro Dumas' famous novel "The Count of Montecristo", the Edmundo is the first size to be added to Montecristo's standard range since 1971. I picked up half a box of these Edmundos in a split buy about 6-9 months back. From what I hear these tend to...

Today I wake up with a hefty hangover after losing some of my hard earned money last night in a game of poker... I stumble downstairs, chug down some water and Advil and go out to check my mail. Little did I know I would find my mailbox blown to shreds by a stealth bomber! Marco Polo, you...

I've heard a lot of very good things about these Tempus', but had yet to smoke anything from Alec Bradley. I thought I'd make this my first. Robusto 50x5 Wrapper: Trojes, Honduras Criollo 98 Binder: Trojes, Honduras Criollo 98 Filler: Trojes, Honduras, Nicaragua Drink: Diet Pepsi After...
