Recently picked up a pair of Rollagas lighters off Craigslist for dirt cheap. One is a perfect gold plated florentine pattern. The other is gold and burgundy lacquer, its a beater and could use some attention but actually works and holds gas. The main things are the roller sticks sometimes...

Greetings all. I'm new to the forum and trying to learn some things about proper cigar storage. I recently acquired a new box of Cohiba Coronas Especiales (authenticity validated by Habanos website). I have purchased a desk top humidor to store them. I've charged the humidor and calibrated the...

CI has them on the weekly deal...$39.99 + free shiping....20 sticks. I do like a lot of Padilla, the 1932, the Miami, the '68 and even the Cazadores isn't too bad for a "budget stick". If these are good at all, it seems too hard to pass up at $40 for 20. Are they really THAT BAD?!?! :shocked:
