For those that missed my previous post, I like making things from wood and I'm getting closer to finishing the "all" Spanish cedar humidor (minus the zebra wood veneer and cocobolo top). Ultimately, a desktop humidor will not hold very many cigars, but the ones it does hold, I would like to...

I'll salute with a Fuente Hemingway Signature and remember all those that came before us so we could have elections and choices. - Rick

Ultimately, I want to own just two humidors, one desk top and one end table. Since I like to dabble with wood, I'll probably make them myself. I have nothing against using a cooler and it does make me think of my wine making days - oak casks versus stainless steel tanks, they both have their...

I truly love the flavor of these cigars so I bought a box. (I have no affiliation with Jack Schwartz other than his offers on this site and good pricing/service out to California land): Always excited when I see a brown box on the front porch! Can't wait to smoke these on the back deck under...

I don't know if these have been around for awhile, but it adds a new dimension to temperature controlled humidors using Vinotemp - Saw this at Costco (About $1,800): - Rick

These 6 1/2" x 50 CAO Tubos arrived a few days ago in a colorful box. I have not tried them yet, but appreciate the packaging if nothing else. I like anything that gives me an excuse to take a photo. - Rick

Tried one of these compliments of the Macanudo. I found it rather strong, and flavorful. I went home and ordered the $10 sampler. And, there see one in the following photo: I'll wait awhile before trying one again to see how they mellow. It did give me an excuse to try the new strobe light for...

I recently received a "special" of ten cigars from one of the well known vendors. At least one of the ten cigars has a splotch of white on the end that appears to be mold. I wrote to the vendor and they were sympathetic to an extent: The only color mold would be on a cigar is green. If it is...

The Coleman type coolers should be made of a food grade HDPE, High Density Polyethylene, a relatively safe plastic that should not gas in it's pure form. However, high temperatures, burning, and caustic chemicals are another matter. If your cooler is outgassing, it may be the some other...

I think it would be nice if we could collectively put together our impressions of Cigar stores. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and travel to other parts of the world. I would love to learn more about people's cigar store experiences. Last night I enjoyed a Club Havana cigar tasting event...

I recently purchased a Treasure Dome humidor, imported from China. It is nicely constructed of veneered fiber board. There is a little solid Spanish Cedar on the trays, but the predominant smell is more like glue. I've been putting it outside for the last five days with the lid open to see if...

I've always enjoyed a good cigar. With several excellent stores in the neighborhood, I have the habit of handing a smoke or two to good friends and associates. One thing leading to another, one of my associates brought me back a box of Cuban Cohiba's from Spain. This no longer fit my model of...
