My brother-in-law was in the convoy that was bombed in Afghanistan this morning. He's a battalion commander at Fort Drum and 2 of the dead soldiers were in his command. Good news is he's ok, but he lost friends and we are all shaken. Many innocent Afghans also were killed. Please keep him, the...

Did Litto do a new version of the Salomon? I bought one in August and it is still resting. Today, I dropped in the same shop and discovered he was still selling them for the same nice price ($17.95) and decided to pick up a couple more. I thought it looked like a lighter colored wrapper and...

I happened to mention in a reply to an Illusione review that the Holy Lance is on my must-try list and Cparker posts that he'd be happy to scratch that very itch. Little did I know, however, that he'd send a HL, a cg:4, a Pepin lancero and a couple more tagalongs. I'm overwhelmed by your...

I'm not that familiar with ISOMs, but wonder why I see few reviews of maduros. Are there fewer made by Cuban producers or are they less favored than natural-wrapped cigars? Frankly, the few I've had with natural wrappers could convince me never to smoke another maduro anyway. Just curious.

I salt-tested the hygrometer on my main desktop humidor and discovered that my cigars were at about 61%. I'm wondering what folks think is the ideal humidity and whether I'm pushing it with a reading that low? Also, is it better to keep it at a constant level, even low, rather than raise it to...

Conditions: 40 degrees and absolutely calm Location: my front porch Rating: about a 9 of 10 Ok, I had a pretty crummy ending to my day and really needed a nice smoke. DPG didn't disappoint. Just to give you the highlights: I had a last-minute project dumped on me at work that I have to finish...

Here's one for the good of the order. I attended an LFD event at a local B&M recently and ended up in a discussion with the company rep about the Cabinet oscuros, which I happen to enjoy. He said that the aging process, in addition to the usual fermenting, involves some sort of bruising of the...
