Booby traps.... BOLO since I have met a few of you, can recruit allies, and I travel quite often. No mailman to warn you. My sincere apologies if this concept is a trademark of another great BOTL here.

I originally found this thread from a link on CP (just can't remember from which thread) and check back every once in a while to stay up to date. It reminds me of the concept of "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé". If I didn't know of Wilkey's knowledge from CP, I would have thought he was more...

I decided to perform a thorough cleaning of my trusty cutter. Any tips or secrets that I should know before I proceed with the re-assembly.

Well, I think that there are actually 3 Anjeos. I bought 4 a couple of months ago. I smoked one #48 and it kicked my ass. I am not a huge fan of any of the maduros. I bought all of the Anejos at the same shop in Killeen,TX. I ordered some smokes that arrived today. While placing them in...

I have a buisiness trip to Pittsburgh for a couple of weeks in Feb and found this shop online. It is listed as the only shop in the vicinity that sells Tatuajes. That usually means a pretty good selection of smokes. It also sometimes means that they are pretty expensive. Is anyone here...

My palate is not fully mature so I cannot detect the subtle differences in taste from the 1st third to the end of a cigar. I only know what I like and don't. Yesterday, I went for a ride in the truck, specifically to enjoy a good smoke. It was raining and too cold to stand outside and I do...

I spotted a couple of single coffins boxes at a shop this week labeled "Forbidden X". I have read about these before, but never actually seen them. Both were robusto size. One had 2005 on the box and a 2006 label on the cigar. The other had 2004 on the box and the label. The price was $38...

So, since Brickhouse educated me on the rarity of these puppies, I have been looking for them as I travel. I was in Nashville on Saturday picking up the new car and decided to stop by the B&M close by. They carry many super premium brands (AF, OPUS X, Tatuaje, Davidoff, LFD, etc..) - most...

I have noticed lately that when I am adding a reply or a new topic, that misspelled words get underlined in red - as in MS Word. Did Rod add a spell check? Or has CC invaded my computer?

I am in the area this week on business and would like to share a smoke with any local BOTLs.

I have spent months building this baby. It is now time for release. DC 0306 1070 0003 9187 8001

I have a business trip to NM next week. Can anyone recommend a B&M that would be worth visiting?

I just got a box of great smokes. A few of them had a white substance on them. I am not an expert, so am requesting some expert diagnoses on this. After I took these pics, I was able to wipe off the spots and they left no stains. I think that it is bloom (plume), but would like a second...

I obtained this box of H Upmann Connoisseur No 1 from a reliable source some months ago(will reveal via PM depending on outcome). I was originally suspicious because, up to that point, I only knew that this particular vitola was packaged unbanded. I also had some concerns with the band...

I picked up a couple of these at my local B&M. This is the first time that I have seen them there and they only had one box in the entire place. I was really looking forward to this smoke - only the second Opus X that I have tried. The first was a xXx and was great. The wrapper was...

I was in a B&M in Savannah today and they had about half a box of this particular line. According to the lady at the counter, there are only 25 shops worldwide that even sell these cigars. Is that true? I am currently on a business trip and will be leaving tomorrow morning. If they are...

I picked up a couple of Opus X Power Rangers during my trip to Orlando. I have been reading here how good they were, so I did not think that the price was completely out of control ($20 each). I had not seen any Opus X any any other shops I have been to. I have been reading this thread...

I saw these in a local B&M in Savannah today and picked one up. Has any one here tried these before? If so, what is your opinion? Since most B&Ms keep their RH a bit high, I am keeping mine in my closely controlled travel humi for a few days before I try it. Is it worth the $9 I paid for...

In the center of the band of my RyJ this appears. What is the significance? I am sure that I could probably find in online if I look hard enough, but I am being lazy today. Additionally, I figure that there are a great number of BOTLs that already know and can educate a newbie. Thanks in...

Can someone direct me to a worthwhile B&M somewhere between Orlando and Daytona. I am heading down for the Cup rac next weekend. I am looking to pick up some high end singles that I have yet to try. So f you have any suggestions on that, I appreciate the input. Help a newbie out here.
