UN General Assembly votes overwhelmingly to condemn US trade embargo on Cuba. Too bad we don't listen to the UN anymore.

On the way to work I had a bowl of Boswell's True English in one of the pack of two CCP's I bought off eBay a few weeks ago. I lit it with a bic lighter and started my drive. Ten minutes into the drive I noticed the side of the bowl was dark like it was carboned up. Five minutes I noticed red...

Yeah, I’m hooked now. I went to my Mother In Law’s and found an old pipe that her husband used to smoke and asked her for it. I figured it would be interesting to try and would stop me from smoking half cigars in the winter. Smoking half of a 6 dollar cigar and throwing the rest away is too...

My B&M in Skokie told me to try one yesterday. I bought it but have not smoked it yet. Anyone heard of this brand and have any opinions about it? I know two things about it. It's Dominican made. It's sold in Skokie. :whistling:

Cigar ad's and reviews are always mentioning that the cigar in question is medium to full bodied or it's referred to as a "Powerhouse" and should not be smoked by a beginner or during daylight hours and you should have defiantly had a large meal beforehand. What does food, sunlight and being a...

I went searching my local B&M's today looking for Anejo's (no luck so far) and in one I noticed two JCG's in their coffins with a post it note on them that said buy one get one free. So I emptied their stock of two sticks for $9.95. I just opened one up and the cellophane was colored brown...

So I was at a friends place in Ontario and he shows me a cigar that his friends mother brought back from a trip to the ISOM. (No ISOM's were brought back this trip! :)) when I saw it the construction of it bothered me immediately it did not have the same finish of any other Cuban I've ever...

I was gifted one of these by a neighbor two months ago and I immediately took it out of its aluminum tube and let it rest with my other smokes in the humi. I needed a smoke to go with the two fingers of Ron Zacapa I just poured waiting for the start of the ND Air Force game today so I looked in...

In November of last year I wanted to replenish my humi and started on a web search for a vendor. I found http://www.casademalahato.com/ and placed an order for BOLIVAR Coronas 5.5 x 42 for $285. The owner of the business, Steve called me after I placed the order and said he would send his end...

CP Strength Guide Last night, for the very first time, I smoked an Opus X. It was the Perfecxion No. 4 and I picked it up around Christmas 05'. I know where I'd put it on this guide but where would you put it? On the guide that is. :0 Thanks

But I will be camped in turn one Tuesday the 14th through Monday the 20th so if any BOTL want to stop by for a hi howdy feel free. We could taste test my Boli's LOL.

I purchased a 25 count of these Bolovar Coronas (link to Pic's) The first one I smoked I didn't particularly like the flavor of it and it kicked my a$$. First time a smoke has made me light headed to the point I was not feeling good. Subsequent smokes have not had the same effect on me but the...

I was at Casa Depot yesterday and saw this displayed on the main asile. It's the Rubbermaid Cedar Storage tote and it seems to be fairly air tight. Opnions as to it's worth as a coolerdore?

The joy of being a newbie. I'm crusing cigar sites and watching football does it get any better? :D Anyway I land on the Habanos SAweb site and notice the band on the Cohiba that's pictured. Well, granted I don't know much but it looks fake to me. What say you?

How does the humidity have any effect on a cigar if it’s sealed in the box it was shipped in and inside a cello bag inside the box? Don’t seem like any moisture would ever make it to the tobacco. I see pictures of beautiful humidors loaded with boxes of smokes on this forum and this aspect just...

Wow, what a week on the forum. My first week will be one to remember. SleepyJim dropped a tasty BOMB on me and what a surprise. Thanks SJ, very nicely done. And then I order some Killer Beans from Jerry and there here in two days so now I find myself enjoying a pot of pressed Kalossi Knockout...

Humidity measuring issues I got a new humidor over the weekend and followed the manufactures suggestion on setting it up. I used a 50/50 PG-distilled water mix in the hockey puck looking thing and the cigar looking things in the individual drawers. I wiped all exposed internal wood surfaces...

This was given to me a year and a half ago or so by our sales manager. I was told it is authentic and from what I've researched it seems to be true. It smoked great, I enjoyed it more than any thing else I've smoked to this point. But if it's real what was it? LOL
