Just wondering what thoughts on the Drew Estates La Vieja Habana are? One of my friends brought a handful of cigars to a get together. I'm pretty sure that is what I grabbed and it was one of the best smokes I've had! Was intending on saving the band but it was tossed without my knowing.

Saturday I had time to enjoy a cigar so I pulled out a La Rosa Especial (the only one in my humidor, must have received in a trade). It had a tissue paper wrap on it and appeared to be contructed very well. I cut it and took a test draw and could not believe how easy it was, definitely the...

I have found 3 cigars in my winedor that have a little mold on them. I am using Heartfelt 65% beads and they are reading fine. When the beads are sprayed with distilled water they are no where near any cigars so random water droplets are not the cause. I have concluded a few things (may be...

I was just going through my humidor and found a cigar that had a lot of mold on the end. All the other cigars looked fine. I don't understand why this one got so moldy, I've had it for a few years and it was surrounded by many non-moldy cigars. Is it ok to smoke if I do it immediately and...

This is going to be my 3rd summer as a home owner. First year I did nothing but mow and sometimes water. 2nd year I did Scotts 4 step plan and water. It worked out pretty well but Scotts is pricey. I was wondering if there is another brand that is cheaper and works just as well. For those...

I wanted to build a 6' privacy fence but after estimating costs I am not able to. I am now thinking about planting some trees. This is what I am looking for... -Thick, good blockage of wind and view -Around 6-10' (if triming is needed that is fine) -Fast growing to get blockage pretty quick...

Well, just went online to check the bank account; wth? Oh yeah, the government must have cashed the check that I sent them. Don't fricking get it, I am 23 and so is the wife. Have been married for 2 years and have had our house for 2 years. We paid over 14K in interest on our mortgage last...

I started trying pipe smoking before last winter. Never really got good at lighting it either, tried many different techniques. At any rate, that is not the reason for this thread. I have found that most of you store your pipe tobacco in canning jars. I have had mine stored in the pouches...

I just flew into New Orleans for work. I was browsing my GPS and found "Tinderbox". I thought no way is this the tobacco shop. Looked it up online and sure enough there is one here, had no clue that they were a chain. Anyways, hopefully the job won't be a 12+hour one and I will have time to...

I found the above chart. Currently am salt testing my hygro and it is sitting at 68%. The brand of salt I have is Morton Iodized Salt. In the ingredients it says the following... Salt, calcuim silicate, dextrose and potassium iodide. Does that mean that my test should be reading 68.86% which...

I used to have a smaller humidor that I converted from a side tabel. I now am using a non-working wine cooler chassis for my new one. It has a nice thick big glass door, plenty of space, etc. I transfered my 1/2 lb beads from my old one to my new one without thinking much about it. I have...

I know storing flavored sticks with non is a no, no. What about a Drew Estate Jave, it seems very subtile to me. I have no other humidification device except for my beads in my wine-o-dor. A Isla Del Sol be Drew Estate is not flavored, correct? What about Backwoods sweet aromatic or...

I hardly ever go to my B&M because the prices are horrible. Every tobacco shop in this city is bad, surrounding smaller cities too. I stopped there today, here are some examples... A Fuente Curlyhead $3.70 Padron 2000 Natural $8.80 HdM Excaliber $10+ depending on size That is all I remember...

Just wanted to says thanks... He saw a post of mine about me having a hard time getting a cigar to draw, smoke good. Turned out it was just my super cheap smokes that I get because of lack of funds. I am taking everyones advice, smoking less so I save more. That way I can get something...

I have been recommended Trinidad Y Cias for good cheap everyday smokes. At Tarheel a bundle is only $12-16 depending on size. Any opinions? What characteristics do they have? I tried doing a search but didn't come up with anything useful. Thanks

Flor de Oliva is my usual smoke. I like them because they are cheap, mild, creamy, volumous in smoke. I usually get the churchills but am re-thinking for my next order. What size do you guys like best for this stick? Thanks

I flew back into town from a business trip yesterday. When I got home my wife says "I have a present for you." She got me a "complete guide to cigars" book by Steve Luck. It goes over the history of cigars, anatomy of cigars and then has a cigar directory that goes over many brands, their...

What is the best website for singels? I don't really have any local shops that I feel I should support. The owners don't want to talk to you give you advise or just BS, hire unknowledgeable employees, don't have good deals, etc. I am still fairly new to cigars and like to try many different...

Ever seen it? I am watching it now, pretty interesting. They are doing cigarettes, cigars, pipes, smokeless, etc...

I have been smoking for a while now. I have noticed that a lot of my cigars feel plugged (like 90%). They are hard to draw and I do not get a very volumous smoke at all. Keep them proper at 70F 65RH. When I get a cigar with a lot of smoke and easy draw it is like heaven. Am I doing something...
