Hey everyone, I been smoking cigars on the weekends now for a couple of years and I've gravitated mostly to Don Pepin's; mostly blues and sometimes the black label's. They've become my goto smoke. I've tried many brands, but the brands that I've been continually trying and comparing are...

Hey all, If there are any of you who refurbish pipes, I have a question. I'm going to play around with my cobs. I would like to make them last a little longer and look a little nicer. So I thought I would stain them with an alcohol based die and then buff them out with some carnauba wax...

I was browsing some online dealers and it seems like a few blends have gone up. :( Balkan Supreme for one has taken a big price increase. No worries though, I like Proper English better and it's priced the same. :)

Hey all, yesterday was spent smoking nothing but P.S.'s Bullseye Flake and Navy Flake. I had been trying both of these in the last week off and on and I was almost ready to throw them out. Thinking that the Perique was just too "over the top" for my newbe taste buds. But, yesterday, I decided...

Hey all, I have a question. I'm learning the pretty well, how to pack, how to light, how to tamp, how sip, etc... But I've encountered a small imediate problem. It seems that no matter what I do, the first half of my bowls are pretty bland. It's not until I get closer to the bottom that...

As most of you know by now, I'm just getting into pipe smoking and really loving it. It took me a couple of weeks to "phase" out of my cigar palate and develop a pipe palate. At first, it was like I was puffing on air. But slowly my mind and mouth adjusted to the more subtle pipe smoking...

So I'm going to be buying my first briar soon. I've decided to just go ahead and get new ones. I haven't had much luck finding estate ones, even on Frenchies that I'm interested in. But I can get some decent Savinelli's for around $50.00 I think so I'm leaning towards them. But I have a few...

Hey all, I'm getting into port and sherry. I'm looking for cheaper tawny's and sherries that go well with tobacco. The only store in my area that sells a limited selection of these, is TotalWine, so I can only get the bigger named brands, like, dow, fladgate, fonseca, sandeman etc... I would...

Well, first of all, just a thanks to everyone's help here in getting me started in the pipe. I got my first pipe today, an mm cob, nice and cheap. In fact my total purchase was $12.00, which included, 2 ounces of tobacco, the pipe, cleaners and a tamper. So, I started of with some Dunhill...

Hello pipers. I'm interested in starting up with the pipe. But I have some questions that I was having a hard time answering by searching, so I thought I would just be best to start a new thread. Sorry if this has been covered before.... thousands of times. :) I just started smoking cigars...

Well, after a few weeks of testing; I'm pretty set on Rocky Patel's and Padron's being my goto brands. I just have that personality, where I don't like to constantly switch from one thing to another. Once I find something I like, I am very content sticking with it. So my question is this. I...

Well I had my first Padron 64 today. :) :) ..... and it was Delicious! Awesome smoke. I have to say, I enjoyed the last quarter the most... I didn't want it to end. I was smoking it on my front porch and my neighbor walked by. He must have thought I was smoking a blunt the way I was pinching it...

The family is having a get together Easter. I thought I would buy a bottle of Wild Turkey Russel's Reserve. I've never tried it before. I absolutely can not stand Wild Turkey 80 or 101. But I'm hoping Russel's Reserve will be more to my liking. Anywho... I'm trying to think of a good cigar or...

I'm getting ready to start using my coolerdor. It's a small 28qt one. I figure I'll hold about 6 boxes and a tray for singles. I don't figure on storing that many cigars. My local cigar shop has little clear disk gel humidifiers. They're a little bigger then a baby food jar. It seems like all...

Hey all, just a quick question. I'm going to the store today to pick up a couple of singles. I'm still trying to decide on my first box purchase. I really like The Avo #2's. But they are a little too expensive for me. So I'm trying to find another, little less expensive, light and mild cigar...

I just put away a Partagas Black sent to me by Dulaney22. So I thought I would right up a little review. First Impressions I'm not sure on which cigar this was from the series, I think it might have been a Magnifico? 6x54. It has a Connecticut Habano wrapper with a sun-grown La Vega Especial...

So all day today I had been thinking about making me a Guinness Black and Tan. So Earlier I was by my Computer and I see the mailman drop a package off in the mailbox and it dawned on me that Dulaney22 told me he was going to send me some Partagas Blacks. I had gotten a really tight one from my...

I really like both the ROCKY PATEL 1992 and 1990 VINTAGE Series cigars. So I was wondering if anyone might have any suggestions on what other brands might be close to these in comparison?

I know this might seem like a weird question and don't get me wrong. I really like natural cigars. But I was in my local cigar shop today looking at silicon beads, which happened to be right next to the pipe tobacco. I've always loved pipe tobacco. I also love spiced chai tea. I make my own...

Hey all, I thought that I would do a small little review on these two Cigars. I have found that I really enjoy the Rocky Patel Vintage series and the Avo Classics and Maduro's. I find that these two brands for myself are exactly what I'm looking for in a Cigar. Nice flavor, very mild and...
