You make it to Pacific Wine Merchants yet? It's by far my favorite cigar hangout in that immediate area. Decent selection of cigars at a fair price. Same goes for their wine -- and they have a nifty wine tasting setup as well.

Smoke your best cigar for the occasion. Only you can know which cigar you consider best. You will soon enough acquire other 'best' cigars and will have other occasions to smoke those as well. Our humidors are for storing our cigars until we are ready to smoke them, not for us to curate...

I haven't been to that one yet, but I have been to theWoW and theSMWSA (their Los Angeles stop) events. I'd give a slight nod to WoW, but love the closer convenience of SMWSA for me. Both are great events and I'd guess WhiskyFest is as well. Don't dare leave early. They break out the better...

I'd just like the clarification. I paid by credit card through PayPal. I pay all PayPal purchases by credit card instead of by bank transfer. That way I have the credit card luxury of disputing the payment before it is withdrawn from my account and I have the PayPal luxury of keeping my...

Did you pay by PayPal or enter your credit card number directly onto the website order page?

For its price, I like Dos Lunas Anejo a lot. Hi-Time carries it for $34. Excellent reviews for that price point.

..... so I called Ronson. These lighters were discontinued when they were taken over by Zippo about a year ago. Appears these are the clear out the warehouse deal for 'em. Use promo code lighter1 at checkout for $1 off.

I've purchased a similar 12 pack of Ronson Jetlites for the mid $30's before. These seem like a great deal. I think I'll get two, if possible. The Jetlites have been the best value lighter I have ever used and have been far more reliable than many pricey lighters I have had. But I don't...

It's the frequent I need to sell these cigars to make room for my soon to be delivered cigars sales that mystify me. It's rare that my tastes change enough to completely evolve away from a past cigar purchase and leave me wanting to unload any cigars remaining. The biggest incident(s) of that...

Same here. I like both cutters and I use both cutters. But if I had to choose one only, I'd easily go with the Palio. I keep my cutter(s) and lighter(s) in my pocket when out and about (like most here do, I presume). I've often found my Xikar in its open position with blades exposed when...

I'd like to attend, but I have to get up very early the next morning. Probably a 50/50 toss-up as of now.

What time on Saturday? Late afternoon is the best I might be able to do - but not as far out as South OC (Dana Point area).

I'm to the point where I avoid anything with more than one band. I'm willing to miss out on one true gem in order to avoid nine other experiences of overpriced disappointing crap. Most double banded cigars make me feel in the end like I was robbed by a slick marketing scam.

I prefer boxed. Tubos are a pricey presentation and I seem to always have mold issues with long term tubo storage. But.... Siglo VI's are already high dollar and if you're gonna pass any out to impress the father-in-law/boss/whoever, there's no denying the extra appeal of the Cohiba tubo...

It somehow seems bad form to me to top my own thread, but I had an occasion recently which has kinda stuck in my mind. I was out and about and smoked a cigar during some unexpected free time. It's a good thing I thought ahead to fill and tote along a small travel cigar case for the day. It...

Tonight at 7pm? I can likely make it out to this. It's been a couple of years for me.

WE ARE!!!

Or over-humidified, which is entirely possible in many B&M "tropical" setting walk-ins.

Wow. It's been years, but I used to burn them Escuderos up like no tomorrow back in the day. Cheap, dependably good and a whole lotta leaf for the price. Sheesh, I just may order me up a box for old time's sake. I know my tastes have changed since then, but for that sale price...

You've learned a valuable lesson and one that should not be discounted - trust your own taste. It's for your own enjoyment after all and even if less experienced or less refined than that of anyone else, it is the yardstick you will gauge all personal experiences by. As an example, do you...
