Pinky is a very loving cat, and would make a fabulous pet! :whistling:

enjoy! :laugh:

just wondering if anybody's had an experience with a cigar that provides more smoke than they like. I must say, I can't really imagine thinking that a cigar's smoke is too voluminous. if anything, I'm frustrated that there's not enough. plus it just looks and feels "cooler" to blow out big...

The late and great Tony Williams is one of my favorite jazz drummers. This footage of him with Miles Davis (plus Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter & Wayne Shorter) is from their European tour in 1967 (Stockholm, Sweden, to be specific)…the date listed on the page is incorrect. Anyway, Tony was only 22...

Sherpa - Mystic (Barber Pole) - Limited Edition - 6” x 50 - $3.75 (msrp) I received this candy-cane in a generous triple-strike (and striped) bomb from “da triple G” (aka- Grandpa George Giese) recently, and was excited to smoke my first multi-wrapper cigar. Pulling it out of its cellophane...

Padron Serie 1926 No. 1 (natural) - 6.75” x 54 - $20 (msrp) It’s weird, but as much as I LOVE the 1926 line, this is the first one I've tried in a natural wrapper. Come to think of it, it’s the first Padron of any type that I’ve had in a natural wrapper. I guess I’m a hopeless creature of...

…waking up to a stabilized, newly set-up coolerdor! Getting this thing up and running has been a loooong time coming. I went back’n’forth in my decision to use 65% or 70% beads. At one point I thought I decided to use some of each to aim for 67% or 68%, but since I’m using this coolerdor...

Well, what can I possibly say that hasn’t already been said about this classic? Nothing, I’m sure, but it only feels right to pay homage to a cigar that provided me such a fan-friggin’-tastic smoking experience. I’ve had nearly-zero previous experience with real Montecristos before today. I did...

I decided to treat myself to my first experience with a Perdomo Edicion De Silvio this afternoon, and with the size of this DC, it ended lasting into the early evening. I brewed up a (big) cup of green tea (which I added my new favorite concoction to; a tablespoon of honey, a few drops of pure...

just looking for msrp's on the various vitolas, and maybe a source that has them on-hand for decent prices. also, for anybody who's had the pleasure of trying more than one vitola, or, better yet, all 3 (or 4!) of them, which one do you recommend and why?

...and only 99 years old? wow! I guess smoking like a chimney and drinking like a fish can be the recipe for a long life! :p whatever the case, here's to a good one! :thumbs:

got lead-foot? here's a site which compiles info on speed traps in all 50 states. if you know of any in your town not listed on the site, you can add them or comment on the ones already submitted. because flashing blue lights doesn't necessarily mean that you've made it to the next dance club...

just noticed that the bands on a recently purchased box of 1964 diplomatico (mads) have bands that read "1964 Aniversario Serie" as opposed to "1964 Anniversary Series". The underside of the lid does have "1964 Anniversary Series" stamped into it, though. not a huge deal. just wondering if...

couldn't have been more disspointed... after a long, brutal 2 weeks of school that kept me from being able to smoke as often as I like, I wanted to ring in the relaxation, short as it might last, with a cigar from the trusty 1926 line. no differing circumstances from the other 1926 cigars I've...

I'm wondering if anybody knows if there are any drawbacks to aging a box of cigars while leaving the box sealed in it's shrinkwrap. apart from not opening the box to inspect the cigars before lying them down for a nice long beauty rest, what about humidity (not oxygen) getting into or out of a...

after I was able to yank myself (pun intended) away from page 36 of the latest issue of Cigar Aficionado, I skipped to the article about maduro wrappers. great piece, but one thing I found *very* disturbing was the mention of the "short-cut maduros". apparently some cigar manufacturers have gone...

alright, granted, I'm a newbie and am very much still in my experimental phase (though I hope to never stop experimenting, I guess). I've come to the conclusion that I enjoy drinks with a little sweetness with my cigars (although a good stout is one exception, so far), such as various...

I recently got Min Ron NEE's masterpiece-of-a-book, and while I've only just barely scratched the surface of it, it's clear that aging havanas (and probably even non-havanas, in some cases) is absolutely crucial. from what I've gathered so far, it seems like the most strongly suggested way is...

I guess I'll probably preface all of my indicatively newbie posts by admitting my newbie inexperience, so...I'm a newbie! (both to CP and to the wonderful world of cigars) in reading descriptions and reviews of cigars, many adjectives are used where their meaning (in terms of describing the...

first of all, my name's emmett and I'm a newbie here, but I've been reading the forums a bit and this seems like a great place to learn and meet other cigar fanatics. I hope to eventually be part of a pass, but all things in due time. anyway, here's my situation: I'm pretty new to the world of...
