Hey CP, Just a note to let you know that I'm  still alive over here. It's been a long 5 months, but my first semester of teaching is finally over, and I already feel like I've lived a lifetime over here.   We settled into a comfortable 4 bedroom townhouse that a previous professor had lived in...

I'm sitting outside on the deck of my hotel room in Bangkok having my birthday breakfast cigar, and I'm realizing that 1. The humidity is regularly higher than 70 percent. 2. My lovely cigar which was probably fine in Arizona is now completely saturated and the draw is hard. Am I going to...

So folks, who's gonna win? I'm looking forward to this one. Hope Georgia beats them up.

Well folks, it's been a little over a year since my wife found the bump in her breast, and we are finally now ready to return to Arizona. She had surgerym chemo, and other treatments and is now cancer free. During our time here in Korea, it's challenged us both personally, our faith, and our...

Hi folks and Rod, I was wondering if there is a way on this website to mark certain threads as "My favorites" or the ones that I continually like to come back to and follow? Right now I just to bookmark it in your web-browser but I didn't know if there was a way to do this in the website.  ...

Never really understood the flavors of the Anejo Shark. Tonight I'm having one with Zacapa Rum 23, and it's a revelation. Awesomeness.

I showed up to my local cigar shop and a visitor who works at Auburn Cigars in Wichita, Kansas threw me a Hybrid American Kick Ass. What a great Stick Strong, Peppery flavor with earth and cedar settles into Mocha. It's got a LOT of kick, and my head is pleasantly swimming. I know there's a lot...

So I've seen everyone rave about the 2005 release. My local B&M has the 2007, 2008, and 2011 release. Do people have insight they can share with me regarding the different releases?

Recently there was an Esteban Carreras event at a local B&M so I was lured in.They had a good sale, and a decent selection of sticks between $4-$14. I bought 5 and they threw me 2 for free. The 10 anos is their flagship stick, which they say they age them 5 years before wrapping, then another 5...

A week ago I was in my local B&M and there was a distributor there talking to the owner. He talked me up for a while to see what my tastes were, and we discussed some lines that he distributed. Nice guy, and I appreciated the info he gave me, about some lines I haven't tried such as J Fuego. On...

Just want to give a public thank you to TheChenMan. It started with him merely sending him a message asking him what he thought of a certain cigar that I noticed he had purchased. A few weeks later, he's sends me a flat rate box of extremely desirable sticks that included one of the kind I was...

I went out to check the mail and I found a flat rate priority box with an UNMARKED RETURN ADDRESS and a letter from the IRS. ... This is not the way I wanted to start my day. Fortunately, they spared me of the foam and just clubbed me with some sticks instead. And to think, I almost made it...

I have such timing. My trifecta of folly occurred this evening. 1. I smoked the Viaje Skull and Bones MOAB right after an LFD Double Ligero Chisel. When I went inside, I quickly realized my head was swimming and I was in trouble, and despite my best efforts, I threw up a lunch of coffee...

Background As a classical musician, I wanted to do a friendly little competition here at CP to spread along two of my favorite hobbies, cigars and classical music. If you choose to participate in the challenge, I thank you for your participation in advance, as the intention of this thread is to...

If I did a contest for a primo 5ver, would anyone be interested in sitting down and listening to a full length symphony? Probably about 40 mins, no knowledge of classical music needed.

Hello Brothers, Just a question that's been on my mind. These past three months I've been the sickest I've ever been. Massive head cold, December 15-January 7th. In bed for all but 4 of those days. Antibiotics. Massive chest cold. January 14-21. In bed for three days. Massive chest cold...

I received a Montecristo #2 from a generous BOTL a month ago on the condition that I post a review of it once I smoked it. After having a really bad day and finding out some information that will severely curb my cigar intake, I decided to celebrate it with this special stick that has been...

I've been suffering from terrible headaches for weeks now, and finally went to the Dr.'s office this morning for meds. As suspected, I have a sinus infection, and the headaches have crippled me. Having to play oboe with the back pressure pushing on my sinuses only further exasperates the...
