Well, I met my first CP'er today in person at the Tobacco World event in Marietta, GA. Bryan is a great guy, and it was awesome to actually meet someone from CP and talk cigars with them. I also got to meet Pete Johnson, Nick Perdomo, and Rocky Patel...along with a ton of other guys. It was a...

Tobacco World in Marietta, GA s having a massive 10th anniversary event Saturday. Plenty of big names will be there including Rocky Patel and Pete Johnson. Just wondering if any of my fellow CP'ers will be there? I'd love to meet some of the great people on here. I'll be there with a couple of...

A few friends and myself are starting a monthly HERF. We're all used to this, and want to make the best of the situation. I'm just posting and asking for HERF ideas. What do you guys do during some of your favorite HERF's? I've had a couple of suggestions from some of my fellow BOTL such as...

I just received a box yesterday of the new Tat Monster series Frank cigars. I have a question for those of you that received a box of these. I was just curious last night and ebay'd them. A guy on there was selling empty boxes (a cool coffin shaped box, sliding lid, seal on the bottom). Each box...

So...I'm headed to a Fuente Toast Across America event tomorrow. Can someone give me an idea of what to expect? They give the date and location on the website, but that's all the info they give. Is it an all day thing, or do they have a event at a special time? I assume that they'll be selling...

Hello all, I have a question about box codes. I recently came into possession of two boxes of nice cuban smokes. The first was H. Upman Mag 46's with a box code of ENE 08. The second was El rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme's with a box code of OCT 07. So, here's the question...are box codes...

I was just now reminded of a BOTL that went out of his way to send me my first Bomb. The Bomb was more than I would have ever wished for. This special BOTL has continued to help me expand my humidor, give me advice, and vouched for my credibility when I needed it. So, in his honor, I'm passing...

With some suggestions by John, Jeff, and Wilkey, I am now the proud owner of a box each of the Choix Supreme and the H Upman Mag 46's. My question is this...which of either of these is the best "right now" smoke, and which if any should I let rest a spell? I got too darn anxious and fired up a...

#1 Always read all rules of each different topic thread. They can be much different. I got caught up and didn't read the 4 month waiting period for trades/buys/sells. Be villigent and read every rule TWICE. #2. If you screw up (and you will) rectify the situation by first apologizing and then...

Just wanted to share a project I did this weeken. I took a Macanudo Portofino tube and pushed it through some floral foam all the way through so that the time was completely filled. I then took my truysty Drimmel and mads tons of small homes. Lastly I soaked my tube in a 50/50 solution of...

Contest time...Well, I was going to do a contest by guessing the scores from the UGA-Arizona State game, but ity's too close to gametime to get many guesses. So, here's the game..Guess the scores from the rider cup final score. Everyone gets a step up because 2 days have almost finished...

As a newbie, I was wondering what the great Cuban Cigar experts on here would think are the top 5 recognizable Cuban cigars? I'm not talking about your top 5 favorites. I'm talking about the top 5 brands and sizes that is most instantly recognizable? I am a newbie, but even as a newbie I had...

Just trying to give back to the community so I bombed a newer newbie than me. Not GREAT EXPENSIVE smokes, but I did add an ISOM as a little gift. Just trying to extend te good will everyone has given me. I have to say that it does feel good.

Seems like BOTL Marco felt pity on me by bombing me this morning with a baggie full of mouthwatering smokes. Marco, you're one class act. Allow me, in this post, to say thank you publicly. Your generosity went above and beyond. Thank you and God bless my new friend. -Chad (Ugaman72)

Just wanted to post a public thank you to John (jfields) who bombed me Friday with 5 of the most beautiful Fuente babies I've ever seen. As many may know from reading the buy/sell/trade ads, I screwed up by posting a buy ad without waiting my 4 months. It was an inexcusable screw up, and I hope...

Well, everyone on here was right. After being here less than 2 weeks, I have outgrown my humidor. I have the materials and plans to make a coolerdor this weekend. The only thing missing is either cedar sheets, some cedar blocks, or possibly old cedar boxes for the inside (I know this is...

OK, noob question here. I bought one of those leather, cedar lined, 10 count travel humidor that's shaped like a book and where the top slides off. Is it necessary to season these? It looks to have a small veneer of cedar inside, and I assume it would warp if I put water to it. Also, how long...

And, NO..not THAT type of info. Just wondering, as a newbie, what impact IKE will have on crops in Cuba? Is their growing season over now? I assume since it's such cash cow for them that they would have tobacco aging in some sturdy sheds, but in my mind I can't help but imagine them in some...

OK, the ISOM cherry was popped this weekend with a gifted Monte No. 2 from a very well off client with a humidor bigger than my house. OK, I'm hooked now. Considering the fact that I loved the Monte, and I may have the chance to try another in a couple of weeks, what would be another brand and...
