Hey yall, I haven't really seen much conversation on these little gems. So i decided to make a post. I recently got ahold of several pre-embargo era "Clear Havana" cigars. I didn't really know what Clear Havana Cigars were until recently and I've been smoking cigars for 10 years now. Basically...

Just thought y'all would appreciate this. I have an original c.1950s H. Upmann Short Corona jar and I wanted to compare it to my H. Upmann Noellas jar from this year. They are very similar while the glass on the antique jar is much smoother than the Noellas jar. The cigars are very similar in...

Just wanted to share a pretty neat eBay pick up. I've been wanting a vintage humidor for my office for decoration. Most of them are way over priced. However, I ran into this "best offer" ad for a humidor plus vintage cigar box. It intrigued me, so I clicked on the ad. Well lo and behold it comes...

So I have been wanting to get a Wineador for a while but the cost kept me from doing so because I rather spend the money on cigars. I troll through Craigslist every so often and this particular day I see an ad for a non-functional Newair for $20. The ad was up for 5 days and no one jumped on it...

Hey y'all! Just wanted to share my vintage H. Upmann jar I recently purchased from a buddy of mine who has an impressive collection. I date it c. 1950s. I haven't smoked any of them but they still have some give when I put a little pressure on them. The wrappers are still smooth but not like on...

So pretty much we all know that we never buy Cuban cigars on Craigslist. You can scour the website day to day and you'll find nothing but fake Cubans with glass tops. Well today I noticed that there was a paper box of 5 mini boxes with three tubos of Cohiba Siglo IIs. They've been faked before...

What are y'all's opinions on cigars purchased from on-site cigar rollers that are usually at resorts? I asked my parents for a box of cigars when they went to Mexico and I specifically told them not to get Cubans because they'd most certainly be fake. Apparently, the man they purchased these...

Hey guys, as some of yall know, I will be moving to Florida in about 2 weeks. I have a little dilemma, How should I take my cigars? It is a post grad internship and will last 1 year. I will be staying in an apartment with roommates so space will be a little tight. I have 2 fairly large humidors...

I remember reading an article about how the Editor in chief of CA had a humidor full of them and then he had a tobacco beetle infestation and how priceless cigars were ruined. I never realized cigars could last that long, but then I read how an antiques broker found a wardrobe in a basement of a...

Hey yall, I know there is a central Florida HERF thread already but I thought I'd just start this thread so I can get to know all of my central Florida brothers of the leaf. Anyway I'll be in Orlando (specifically Little Lake Bryan off of I4@535) for 6 months to a year working for Disney and I'd...

It's the end of the year and that's when people usually smoke some of their best sticks! So what are you going to smoke this New Year's? I'm going to smoke an Opus X Shark from the 2014 Toast Across America set. Happy New Year's yall!    Edited for spelling

Hey guys! I have a quick question. Has anyone ever heard of the Honduran cigar brand "Don Melo?" My girlfriend is Honduran and her aunt gave me a opened box of 25 that still contained four cigars. The cigars are amazing, I googled the brand and all I get is another Don Melo brand that has a...

So I graduated from college on December 19th with a degree in Public Relations (I plan to apply to law school while working in Florida) I asked for cigars but my family isnt really familiar with buying cigars so they gave me some money to buy some. As stated in another thread I posted I just...

Hey yall, I'll be moving to Orlando for work in January and I know that Tampa is considered the "Cigar Capital." I was wondering if anyone knew (maybe someone from Tampa?) if they hold factory tours. I currently live in Houston and we are having a sort of "craft brewery renaissance" and you can...

Hey guys, I did a search and couldn't find a solution to my problem. If there is a thread over this please send me a link. I was given a humidor by my girlfriend that belonged to her father. It was new with all paper work still inside so I set it up and seasoned it for a few days. I used...

So as everyone knows, while on a cruise, it is tough to find authentic Cuban cigars. I was on a week long cruise last week for my girlfriend's birthday and my graduation.. and let me tell you.. counterfeits EVERYWHERE. My first stop was Cozumel, Mexico. I was ecstatic leaving the ship to go to...

So tonight I am going to do a cigar review on a local cigar infused with 1836 beer (local Houston brew) I'm going to sacrifice my living room because I'm a little low on cash to go to a bar tonight. Hopefully the smell doesn't linger too long after I smoke the cigar. This leads me into a...

Hey guys! So glad I'm back on the forum, this weekend I was on craigslist looking for some straight razors and old cigar items when I came across a gentleman who was selling his cigar collection. I called him up and asked him about it and luckily he still had the lot! It was 50 cigars and an old...
