Thanks for the feedback! and I've since started slowing down a little and letting the cigar rest and noticed its a little dryer. I think I needed to take my time. I smoke them too damn quick and don't enjoy em' like I should. I'll definitely take your comment into consideration, PJ, maybe when I...

I've had my Cigar Oasis for a little over a year now. I've also had the standard round hygrometer that came with my Humidor and a Xikar Digital Hygrometer. Now, here is the issue. My cigars actually don't seem dry. The reading was a little high on the Cigar Oasis (it was at 80) but it always...

Recently tried a CAO Hurricane. Not a bad smoke for the CAO line. I'm pretty big on the Mx2s.

Yeah. Must just be me. I try to "purse" my lips so the wetness isn't on the cigar, but after smoking, it always happens. Sometimes, i'll keep it in my mouth for a while, other times I'll hold it and take it out (that's what she said :-/ ) I guess it's just a personal thing, I have tried so many...

If you're still looking for Spanish cedar, you can look at rockler.com or Google Rockler wood. You can order directly off of their website as small or as large a piece you would like. I ordered a notebook sheet sized piece and it arrived in a few days. You can then cut it and throw it in your...

You might think I'm nuts (as most people do) but, in all seriousness, I have a question for anyone who might offer their opinions. I've been smoking cigars regularly for about five years. I have never been able to smoke without getting the head (sorry. I put foot first, on accident) completely...

  Couldn't agree more. We used to have three local cigar shops in town (I live in the NW Suburbs of Chicago). There are none out here now. It takes me at least 35 minutes to get to a reasonable cigar shop that isn't classified as a cigarette or tobacco store. I tend to purchase online mainly...

In Illinois, I know at a few Cigar shoppes, they impose a 18% tax on all cigars. in July, they are supposed to be increasing it to 36%.

I used them once last week. The product actually said it arrived and it wasn't there. I emailed them immediately that night I looked and they had a quick rep who emailed me back with no problem and told me they'd ship another one after a 10 day wait (which is standard to allow the product to...

Thanks! I was researching some youtube videos for lighting methods and I noticed how the guy cut his. I WAS cutting them way too far down. Tried it like I saw it, perfect cut!

I have a bunch of short-filler crap cigars I got for guests haha. I find that if I smoke an occasional cheap, short-filler cigar, it makes me appreciate the taste of the better cigars once I have one. Just my opinion. But I kind of get sick of the latter even when I have one. You can definitely...

Thanks! I will not do it that any more.

What type of cutter do you like best? Which works best with cigars? Guillotine, V-Cut, Punch, Scissor? I currently use a v-cut because I like how the smoke draws out of it, it's a small, quick cut, and it doesn't ruin the cap/head. Some of the cheaper made cigars I have start to fall apart...

I like the torpedos and toros. For me, whenever I smoke them, I never get a bad one. It could just be the way I cut it, though.

I'm pretty sure it isn't, though. It's a very cheap humidor. I mean, you get what you pay for. It's the type you can get on E-bay and I think they take the photo like that just to con people into purchasing their cheap product. I didn't learn about it until after. However, mine isn't that bad...

On the description, it states, "Portions of the humidor are created with spanish cedar", blah,blah and it goes on about how it doesn't need to be completely lined to hold the scent. I will add, it doesn't smell bad. It smells like the cigars and has a nice aroma, but it doesn't have that cedar...

In need of some help, if possible. I researched and cannot find any logical answers. I purchased a 400ct. humidor that has two slots and a front open door and top open door. The windows on the doors are plastic. However, I am using a Cigar Oasis and it is holding humidity pretty well as I have...

I purchased a Keurig when they came out around 5-7 years ago. Had mine for a good three years and bought another one. I also have a Dolce' Gusto if you have ever tried that. More gourmet style coffeehouse beverages. I still want to try the Verismo. I know two people who have it and they say it's...

I came across a neat technique from a person called "The Three Match Method". It is also on YouTube. It requires three matches. One to help toast the cigar before cutting the head and the other two matches to light it. Interesting. It took me a few tries to not burn it completely.
