I finally got to put my Xikar Eris to use yesterday night. Four of my friends and I grabbed some cigars and sat around to smoke and talk. I brought my Eris with me to see how it'd work. This Xikar has two main functions: cigar punch cutting and lighting. Ok, so the Eris's cigar punch flips...

I thought I'd ask the CigarPass community how cigars affect their sports. One of the biggest reasons I don't smoke cigars very often is that I'm staying in shape for Ultimate, and I'm wondering how cigar smoking affects other athletes out there. For me it takes me maybe a week or two to get...

Ok, so I've been using a Z-Plus Zippo insert by Blazer for a while now, but now I'm having issues with it. Ever sense I purged it and refilled it with Vector butane, I've had lighting issues. It'll light then go out after the initial light. But here's the interesting part. When I take the...

Here's a nice little deal from Today's Cigar on RyJ Reserva Real Toro. https://www.todayscigar.com/ 5 for $19.68+$3.30 s/h Only place I've gotten these for cheaper was in NC with a friend's 30% employee discount. :) Edit: Oh, I'm not affiliated with these people, and sorry if this isn't that...

I found this a while back and then lost it. And now I found it again and don't want to lose it again.... so yeah... http://www.amazon.com/Blazer-PB207-Pocket-...7/dp/B000L7V5JM Blazer PB-207 for $31.99 without shipping. Shipping for me (in Tennessee) would be $6.85. Might be worth a look...

I know there are several topics made about suggestions for lighters on general, but I thought I'd ask if you guys have any suggestion for lighters with a cigar cutter attached. I prefer an actual cutter, not a punch, but a lighter with a cutter or a punch will work, probably. I know Xikar has...

I meant to post this earlier, but the forum was down for a day. And I forgot about this, too. But it seems like at least one USPS office is not happy with people reusing USPS mailing boxes. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/16072154/detail.html Might be of interest to all of us who like to...

This isn't exactly about humidors, but I thought I'd ask how you guys clean your cigar cutters? Oh, and how often?

Last night I took out of my humidor the two Fuente Fuente Opus X Perfecxion No.5 gifted to me by the most generous stepthirteen. I gave one to my cigar buddy and took the other one. We went outside and lit them up. All I can say is "wow." The cigar before being lit felt nicely firm, and the...

A good friend of mine with whom I smoke wants me to ask if it's "kosher" or OK to blow in the sides of cigars to try to cool them down so that they don't burn too hot. I don't know if this actually accomplishes when he wants, but I thought I'd ask you guys what you thought about trying to cool...

I couldn't easily find a tutorial for converting foam humidifiers that you get with a humidor into bead humidifiers when I searched CP, so I decided I'd post a little tutorial on how I did it. I know many of your probably don't need this tutorial, but somebody like me might be able to use it...

Well, I got my new humidor from CheapHumidors today. It's a Ravello imperfect. It's a bit beat up, but after tinkering with it a bit, I think I can live with it. The obvious imperfections are the dent on the edge of the top and banged up corners in the back. The other imperfections are...

Distilled water is always brought up in any thread that talks about humidors and the likes, but I'm wondering how long I can store a gallon of it. I've read that one of the reasons for using distilled water is so that harmful bacteria and fungus doesn't grown in your humidor. So considering...

So I can't seem to find any discussion on CigarPass about Cu-Avana's. I've been mulling my head over whether or not to get the JoeCigar deal for today (joecigar.com). It's 20 Cu-Avana's for $27.50 shipped, but I don't really know if it'd be worth it to waste storage room on these cigars. All...

In light of my little incident with nicotine poisoning yesterday (x.x), I thought I'd ask you guys how you deal with it? All I could do was try to rest, throw up, drink water and gatorade, and feel really bad. I don't want to give up smoking cigars, so I'm wondering if anybody knows any good...

Have any of you had experiences with buying a humidor from Ebay? If you have, was the purchase a good one or a bad one? Any suggestions, also, about buying humidors from Ebay? I see a few larger capacity humidors that seem to be cheaper on Ebay (including shipping) than on many different...

Yesterday I went to a local cigar lounge/store, Memphis Tobacco Bowl, for the first time with a friend of mine. He picked up a Romeo y Julieta to smoke, and I decided to pick up an Illusione '888' cigar because I had heard some hype about Illusione brand cigars. While smoking the cigar, I...

Ok, so here's a question I can't seem to get an answer for. I get ulcers in my mouth every now-and-then (apparently because of genes?). Whenever I bite myself in the mouth, I develop an ulcer, or sometimes when I've just had an incredibly stressful week. My question is, does anybody know if...

I've been looking (now that I've kind of got a coolidor down) at possibly getting a leather cigar case or holder for me to use when I carry around a few cigars to local places and whatnot. I'm wonder if anybody has any that they could suggest? Preferably, I'd like something which has a...

So I'm thinking about getting my first humidor sometime soon. I've been debating whether or not to get just a small, 20ct humidor or try to spring for something larger. I know from reading a few topics on this board, a few people say, "always get a humidor larger than you think you need." I...
