    Good place to buy desktop humidors?

    I use a coolerdor for my boxes of stock, but I also have an old desktop humidor that I bought a long time ago for single and ready-to-smoke sticks. I recently saw that CheapHumidors.com is on the scumbag list, so where else online can I find a nice desktop humidor? Obviously, there's CBid...

    How to make a Cuban Cafe con Leche

    Made one this morning and enjoyed it on the way to work with a Partagas Short. Life is good! :) I used to think you had to have an espresso machine to make cafe cubano or cafe con leche, but recently find out there is another way. Of course, you can do this just as easily with an espresso...

    Online shop for Japan-only whisk(e)ys?

    Anyone out there know a website that sells Japanese market exclusive whisk(e)ys? By this, I'm talking about scotches and bourbons that are made just for the Japanese Market, like Johnnie Walker 1820 or Wild Turkey Tribute.

    What's the best sleeper scotch?

    I noticed that of all the scotches I've ever bought, I always seem to go for the really well-known, highly-acknowledged distilleries. Glenlivet, Macallan, Highland Park, Lagavulin, Balvenie, Glenmorangie, Laphroig, etc. etc. But I'm curious to expand my horizons (especially after reading some...

    Happy 250th Birthday, Arthur Guinness!

    I've got myself a sixer of Extra Stout, ready to celebrate! :thumbs: http://www.250.guinness.com.lbwa.ntt.net/en-row/250-index.html EDIT: Don't forget to raise your glass at 17:59 (that's 5:59 PM for you non-military) in honor of the year Art signed the lease on the St. James Gate Brewery!

    Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial Torpedo

    In October of 2008, the Oliva Cigar Family released the Olive Serie V Maduro Especial Torpedo. It was a limited release to certain vendors of only 500 boxes of 10 cigars each. I managed to acquire a few single sticks from that release and I hoarded them away for almost a year now. Recently, I...

    What do you like with your Cohiba?

    For some reason, I get really anal retentive about what to pair Cohibas with. Maybe it's the price tag thing. Usually, I play it safe and just drink coffee (usually something espresso-based or cafe con leche). Had mixed results before with Spanish brandy and cognac. Tried Chartreuse once...

    The Discontinuation Draft List for 2009

    I haven't seen this posted anywhere here (if I did, forgive my bad eyes), so I thought I'd go through the latest list of what's on the chopping block for 2009. READ IT CAREFULLY and remember IT'S ONLY A DRAFT, NOT ENTIRELY FINALIZED YET. Only the first section, "New Cigar Deletions," are...

    What vendors still sell the OLD BLEND Padilla Miami Lanceros?

    Many vendors are displaying pics of the new Padilla Miami with the new bands and boxes. Some display the old semi-boite nature boxes and old bands...but I'm not sure if they're just lazy about updating their site. :laugh: So does anyone know for sure if any online vendors are still selling...

    Greenberg on Cuba

    Link to the Podcast Link to another article by Greenberg about travel to Cuba I was listening to NPR while driving home and they were airing the weekly guest speaker of the Commonwealth Club of California: Peter Greenberg, famous travel writer and travel editor for NBC's Today. He was talking...

    Is the Gordon and MacPhail-bottled Glenlivet worth it?

    In the next month or so, I'll probably be stopping through Bloomington, IN where the Big Red Liquors store has an outstanding selection of Scotch, including lots of merchant bottlings from Signatory (picked up a Signatory-bottled, non-chill filtered Highland Park 14YO there last time that was...

    Best regular Glenlivet offering?

    Sound off. What, in your opinion, is the best bottle of the Glenlivet range that can be easily found in stores (read: not the rare vintage bottled stuff), in terms of the taste-to-price ratio? The regular 12 YO? The 15 YO French Oak Reserve? Nadurra? Thanks in advance, guys. :thumbs:

    Davidoff Grand Cru No. 2

    Call me stubborn, but I rarely give up on a brand after one or two bad experiences. Though the Davidoffs I've tried in the past have never been REALLY bad, they've never been much good either. First one I ever had was a Millenium Brand Robusto with no flavor whatsoever (but looking back and...

    Forgotten Favorites II: La Luna Natural Fuerte Perfecto

    Here's a brand I heard great things about when I first began venturing into online cigar forums, but I never actually got to try. I can remember when this brand and Bucanero were THE sticks to have. If you had Bucs or La Lunas to trade, you could get anything. People were trading away Montes...

    Old Grand-Dad 114

    My landlord/liquor merchant (yes, you read that right, my landlord owns the liquor store on the first floor) recently started carrying a curious new thing: Old Grand-Dad 114. I almost got a bottle, since it was very reasonably priced, but I've got a lot of bourbon on my shelf right now and...

    La Gloria Cubana Wavell Maduro

    Talked about for a while, decided I'd finally freaking do it. Last year, I renounced Cuban snobbery. I finally came full circle and realized that, while Cuban cigars are great, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic are also producing excellent cigars. Going back and looking at all...
