    I may be flexing a little…but you only turn 40 once

    Turning the corner boys a girls…some might even say it’s the halfway point. My 40th is Sunday the 10th and I’ve been planning my cigar lineup for two weeks (nerd). I was supposed to work this weekend as well, Leave approved plus Monday 💪🏼 The fire wood is stacked, propane tank is full, and “la...

    Vintage Racing at Laguna Seca

    For you @PaulTra ! AHRMA is the premier vintage/historical motorcycle racing association in the United States and something I've been interested in for a couple of years. After racing Laguna as a MotoAmerica AMA Pro in 2022 I wanted to go back to compete, but without all the stress and fanfare...

    Davidoff Aniversario No.1 LE 2023

    I’d say “typical Aniversario profile,” however that’s not necessarily accurate. I find the larger vitolas to be much more enjoyable fresh from the Humidor or out of the box. Anything smaller than the No.3 Toro are too light and missing out on the flavor and taste. After resting for 3-5 years...

    NSW: Davidoff Aniversario No.1 Limited Edition 2023

    NSW Cigar Porn @Jsilverhands Yes, it deserves its own Thread! The box dimensions are 10.5 x 8.5 x 1.5 and weighs 2.7lbs on the kitchen scale. The cigars are 8 2/3x 48 and the wooden Tubo doubles as a Billy Club! I am blessed to have incredible BOTL who assisted in me securing these...

    Humidors Organized

    Nothing like rearranging to make room for new additions and consolidating a bit. I am very pleased with the Collection as it sits. Time to start smoking more of these Davidoff! Cheers and enjoy my friends.

    Davidoff Humidor Organized

    With the recent haul of 5 each Gstaad and Unicorn Toro, and my unceasing OCD for not only brand organization, but type within the brand, I had to reorganize a little in the Trinidad 100th Anniversary Humidor. The main cabinet is all Davidoff these days with Cubans in the top box. Enjoy!

    Experience with aging Davidoff Grand Cru

    I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy some mid 2000 (2007-2012 timeframe) released Davidoff LE, Signature and Aniversario cigars, but have yet to try a Grand Cru with any considerable age on it. I assume they will age very well based off my previous experiences, but I wanted to ask the group. Does...

    La Palina 125 Anos

    This cigar was given to me by the Assistant GM at the Davidoff of Geneva Lounge here in Las Vegas to enjoy and report back on my experience. I figured why not share that experience with the CP Fam as well. I have not researched the cigar whatsoever, this will be a totally blind smoke until the...

    Infusion Experiment

    Last year I grabbed some of the loose leaf that Acid and Tabak cigar boxes are packed with for a humidor project I put together for a close friend. I have a good amount left in a ziplock bag and one day I was looking at it contemplating what would happen if I stuff a cigar in there. Dr. Kafie...

    Humidor #3 - Audew 150 Thermoelectric Coolidor

    This was the first Humidor I bought after getting into cigars close to three years ago. Being in Vegas I knew the dry air and high temps would be an issue, and while researching what Humidor I should get, these little cooling only units seemed to be the new hotness, especially for the price...

    Top 5 Cuban Non Cubans

    For many, myself included, CC are still the standard. When you smoke a quality Cuban it’s an experience that is truly hard to beat. I’m curious what cigars other members have smoked that top the charts as their most Cuban-esq Non Cuban? From my Journal: - Caldwell Anastasia Caspia Green...

    Humidor Gift

    A while back a very close friend of mine achieved the rank of Master Mason and began his progression in the York Rite. While I am not a Freemason, I am deeply spiritual and truly appreciate the history both of the Christian Faith and that of the Freemasons. Both are fascinating to explore...

    Humidor #2 - Vintage CAO

    Back in the day, before they were a household name in cigars, CAO produced pipe tobacco and to my surprise, Humidors. Handmade in the good old US of A in the great state of Tennessee they were beautiful examples of American woodworking and craftsmanship. As the brand transitioned to cigars and...

    Unknown Unobtanium: Zino Platinum Ten Salomones

    So there I was, poking around in the "fancy" cabinet after Mark left me unattended in the Humidor at Tobacco Leaf on Eastern. As I shuffled boxes and bags around, I found a large bag full of antique looking blue labeled Zino Salomones. At the time, I had no idea what they were, and slid them to...

    Humidor #1 - Trinidad 100th Anniversary

    I love Humidors, and if I could, I’d have a lot more! Everything about cigars to me is just rich in craftsmanship, history and tradition, and I truly enjoy that aspect. I currently have four, two of which are vintage eBay finds that turned out better than expected. eBay find #1 was this...

    The Collection Pt 1

    May 2023 will be my 2 year anniversary of legitimately participating in the cigar community. I dove headfirst into things with an insatiable appetite for history and tradition, different flavors and vitolas, and collecting certain lines, companies, and limited editions. Since then I’ve learned...
