Short answer: No. You'd be better off asking the fine folks on CigarPass or your local tobacconist.

Yes, a lot of folks turn these into a "regular smoke," for the reasons you mentioned, Jake. No doubt, a great value. -Jess.

Although I can't say I like them as much as Davidoff, they are fantastic cigars for the money. The Europeans have it right on that one. :thumbs: -Jess.

Careful! I was chided a few weeks ago for saying the same thing! :laugh: -Jess.

I agree completely. In the era before "strong" cigars, I hear that there were cigars that had subtle, smooth flavor. Those cigars still exist today, but you won't hear much about them. It's all Triple-Maduro this, Double-Ligero that. Don't get me wrong - I love the Triple Maduro, and the LFD...

Agreed. There is one in Tijuana, one in Cancun, and one somewhere on the Yucatan. -Jess.

DON'T. Just... dont. -Jess.

These are good cigars, made by an individual (Dion Giolito) who has a passion for his product. The CG4 is a good size, but is constantly on some level of backorder at the warehouse because it is the size that received a "93" in Cigar Aficionado. In my opinion, it is not the best size. Having...

He's got no room. :laugh: Neither do I. :( -Jess.

I might have to revisit them, then. I was given a couple of samples last summer, and wasn't impressed. They certainly do advertise. I have to admit, I think their ads with women are trashy. -Jess.

Not a FOG, but this is a bit of a complicated subject. I may come back later and post about it here. You can look for a few things in ash. -Jess.

I think Arganese actually had an 82 in the same issue. :laugh: But those cigars are indeed sub-par. -Jess.

Now, are you SURE that no FOGs here would be interested in the beer portion of the can? :laugh: -Jess.

Thanks for saying this. Absolutely, go find your local cigar shop. Another thing to look for is if they are a member of the IPCPR, the respected industry trade association for premium tobacconists. There are a few members who are liquor stores or convenience stores, but for the most part, the...

Arturo Fuente Hemingway, any size. The first cigar I ever smoked, and still a favorite. Cusano 18 is a great value cigar around $5, in both the Maduro and Connecticut Shade versions. -Jess.

If someone stole sticks from my walk-in, and I caught them, there'd be a new paint job on our maroon walls if the guy was unrepentant. Well, probably not that far. But I'd be pissed, to be sure. Stealing is a base, base way to satisfy wants, and there is hardly an excuse to justify it. To take...

Capitalism finds loopholes — this a great example. Contact the sellers, get a written guarantee of some sort, but if you are extremely careful, it shouldn't be too risky. -Jess.

New members, though, like myself, cannot exactly reliant upon our own judgment entirely in a forum like this where the long-standing members carry a great deal of weight. The community here is centered around how long you've been a member and/or how many posts you've made, to some extent. That...

Here, I'll end this silliness: I pass my wish to Kingantz, whose gracious gift I'm about to smoke. Good rider smokes too! So thanks for the gift Greg; you're up again! :) Someone please pm him as I'm on an iPhone right now. -Jess.

I only bring up the point of Jakes past issues because I have been fortunate to learn from his mistakes without having to mess up on my own. But his acting like I have made an absurd list makes me "consider" how it isn't; Just because I have learned from him what is and isn't acceptable...
