Let me know what you think. My palate is still pretty green but they have a distinctness about them that I enjoy. It's a slight sweetness in the middle third that I think some have referred to as raisin(y) or date(y). Not really sure what it is but the only other stick I know of that I get...

I've never smoked the old, but the new is fantastic.

I have smoked a bunch of the newer ones with very little rest and they have been great. One of my current favorites. Prices seem to go up and down so I just wait till they go on sale. CI seems to have a deal on ten packs every now and then.

I had a rare experience tonight and just wanted to share it with you guys because, well it was rare. I got the opportunity to meet Jonathan Drew tonight at a Drew Estates event at a local B&M here in Charlotte and man did he ever exceed my expectations. The guy is straight-up stone cold cool...

+4. When it's bad, it's still good. When it's good, it's even better.

Sweet! Shouldn't be more than $127.00 bucks to ship them from Charlotte to Texas. With insurance and all...

LOL. I would but I don't have the money for postage. Between the noobie sampler trade and the bridge I just bought in Brooklyn, I'm totally tapped.

Great. Thanks so much. Do the prices look reasonable for a B&M? Edit: Just saw the price on the link. Duh!

A buddy of mine gave me these two cigars today. I have searched high and low to try and figure out what they are. I think the smaller one is a Hemingway work of art but I can't figure out what the larger one is as all the Anejo's seem to have a cedar wrapper on them. I figure since there is...

Received a response today saying they would be happy to take care of refunding or replacing the three remaining smokes but would not be able to do anything about the two we smoked. Lesson learned. With my lack of experience it was hard for me to tell on the front end if the condition was...

I think I saw something like that at Tractor Supply.

grateful1's profile pic. Just sayin'...

Thanks for the replies fellas. I will consider it a lesson learned and just take care of it right away if and when it should happen again. I'll give the other three a good spell in the cooler and we'll see what happens. We all good. I was just having some preemptive fun with it myself.

Need a little perspective from someone with more experience than me (pretty much everybody at this point...) I bought a fiver of the Kuba Deluxe Tubos from the devil's site. When they arrived I opened one and the little piece of leaf packed in the end of the tube was so dry it disintegrated as...

The Patel and Pardon fivers showed up today and I burned one of each. To be honest, the taste to my noob palate was pretty equal. The construction and feel of the Padron were superior. Quick question...the draw on both was incredibly tight. A buddy smoked with me and his experience was the...

Thanks again for all the sage advice. I think I am definitely going Patron. I have heeded the warnings and have a five pack of both the 6000 maduros and Edge maduros on the way and plan on trying them out this weekend. I have put off buying the box until after December 9th. Why the 9th you...

I've got it pretty good here in Charlotte. It's been unseasonably warm, still occasionally hitting 70. I've got a kerosene heater and two deck chairs in the garage. We sit out with door open looking like a couple of hillbillies squatting in suburbia. Good times.

Well duh. I feel a little stupid for making my original assumption out loud, but I'm glad I did because I never thought about ratio of wrapper to filler and how that should affect the profile. I appreciate you being patient with me and I appreciate the pointer. My penchant for sarcasm aside...
