I've got a weird thing happening when I try to calibrate my hygrometers. I'm curious if anyone can help me figure this out. I put my three hygrometers into a clear Tupperware container with the proper salt and water mix. After 24 hours here is what is read: Hygrometer #1=72% Hygrometer #2=73%...

I just smoked a HdM Excalibur 1066 Merlin. Is it me or is this cigar strong just to be strong with almost no flavor? I instantly though of a Partagas Black when i started to smoke this cigar. I was very dissapointed :( Can anyone chime in on how the rest of the line is supposed to taste...

Drew Estate ACID, Natural and Lars. Does the madness every end? ;) I really wanted to try some of these types of cigars because everyone goes crazy about them and I wanted to see what the hype (or hate) was all about. With the generosity of Hbooker (thanks Mike!), I was able to try a Lars...

Last night my Partagas Black was sparking and poping during almost every draw. Now i've read before that this is due to beetle eggs bursting from the heat of the cherry, but this was from the newsgroups so i took it with a very large grain of salt. So i'm curious if anyone knows why a cigar...

I have read that these are considered dog rocket #1 and when i saw the Robustos going for almost nothing on cigarbid i figured at 50 cents each i should just go for it. These cigars aren't half bad and I must admit that I kinda liked them. They have a mild-medium body with a very nutty flavor...

A friend of mine stumbled on 4 ISOMs. I wanted to try and check their authenticity before i buy one from him. I've read a few of the counterfeit guides (CA and Steve Saka) but i'm still curious if this thing is even real. On the front of the band it says El Ray Del Mundo, then under that it...

What kinds of beverages do you guys like to drink while you smoke your cigars? I'm sure that this type of topic always gets thrown around every few months, but it sure is interesting to read. i've tried all of the following: beer rum scotch cognac whiskey soda water milk orange juice lemonade...

Hi all. I'm by all accounts a cigar newbie. I've been smoking cigars on and off for a few years, but never really paid attention to what i was smoking. One day my friend came back from Mexico with an ear-to-ear grin and handed me a cigar and said "smoke this". Lets just say that now i'm...
