I would like a recommendation for a “good” intro to Sake. Here’s what I mean by “intro”. If someone had never tried bourbon before, I wouldn’t recommend they start with Booker’s or Blanton’s because if they decide they don’t like bourbon, they will have wasted $45. On the flip side, I wouldn’t...

I know, I know, this is an odd cryptic question from an FNG with just a handful of posts under his belt. But, still, I’m trying to find out who DMC was/is. He was registered in 2002 but now he’s unregistered. I tried to PM a current member who I though might have once used the handle, but...

I need some advice. Which is better for a nice weekend with the Mrs. . .The Borgata in AC or Mohegan Sun in CT? Note: This isn’t a weekend for me (I’ll be there of course, but) it’s for my wife. For the purpose of this post, I couldn’t care less about the cigar selection, the craps tables, or...

Going to Vegas on last minute notice. I won't see anything that gets posted after 4:00 (eastern) today, so please post ASAP. :p Anyway, the summer issue of Smoke said the best bets for premium smokes are: the Davidoff shops in some of the casinos, and a place called "The Tinderbox" about 12...

A package just arrived from DaveWF. He had apparently tried to send me something a few months ago (to thank me for helping with his ad) but it was lost in the mail. This package was to replace the lost one. Thank You Dave, this was a very nice gesture. :)

Moki has been trying to bomb me since my very first day on the board. I however, have been a most elusive target; staying on the move, never sleeping in the same place twice, and even employing body doubles. :D But that all came to an end today, he finally got me! And what a bomb it was...

Just rented Gothica the other night. There is a scene where the prison warden gives his employee a cigar and says, “smoke it tonight while it’s Fresh”. Now, I know there are a lot of ways to interpret that, but smoking a “FRESH” cigar just isn’t something that most smokers look forward to. In...

I never really gave these much thought because the regular RyJs don't impress me much. But when these showed up in JR's latest list of specials, I got to wondering if they are any good. JR says, "It begins spicily and builds in power with each puff - making it the strongest Romeo y Julieta...

Being “Oscar season” and all. . . I started thinking, what if CP had its own Oscar nominees. If there was such a thing, I’m certain which thread would win for best comedy. . . http://www.cigarpass.com/forumsipb/index.php?showtopic=6018 Now, that was several days of side splitting laughter. I...

The liquor store was out of my WT Rye yesterday so I picked up a Bottle of Old-Granddad 114 (the label claims that it uses a higher percentage of rye in the mash bill than other bourbons do, so I figured WTH). Anyway, it tastes a hell of a lot like Booker's!! No I didn't try them side-by-side...

I searched every forum, for every date, and only found these metioned in wishlists. Has anyone tried them? Are they worth the big $$$ they usually fetch on cbid? The description ( http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=160580 ) has my mouth watering, but it's a big commitment to shell...

Let's say you're taking a trip overseas next month. Let's say the UK. What ISOM would you smoke, and what would be a reasonable price to pay for it. These suggestions have to be sticks that are good right off the shelf!!!!!! I'm not bringing a single one back with me to "age in the coolerdor", I...

You have to be in my shoes before you answer this one. Got an order from cbid today. One item was billed as "all star sampler". It had a bunch of junk but 3 good sticks. PI Toro (hey, I like them, and I said you have to be in my shoes to answer this one, so for now you like PIs too!), Gurka...

Received box of Montecruz Negara Cubanas from JR yesterday. More than half have white spots on them. (No it's not bloom, the spots are way too concentrated and sporadically distributed). (No, I don’t think it’s mold. mold is usually “fuzzy” and a dull gray/white, whereas these are bright white)...

Hi, I'm brand new to the board and just thought I'd take a second to introduce myself. I've been reading annon for sometime and had to "work up the guts" to join. I mean, I've been smoking for 8yrs and in my circles I am the cigar expert. But, then I start reading this site, and talk about...
