Search Results for ‘alternative’

I have concluded for my line of work; lutherie (building, repairing, and restoring stringed instruments) there is no substitute for excellent wood as of yet... The tropical hardwoods may go the way of the American buffalo, ivory, or worse: the passenger pigeon in my lifetime. Even common...

Has anyone found an alternative to the Oust fans? Apparently they were discontinued. I looked at multiple stores then looked online and they have been discontinued for a year. So what are you guys using as an alternative for your coolidors etc? Just opening the door on occassion?

I'm still snooping around for cheap cigars to get a stash going. I took note to avoid the JR alts. and look to grab some gran habano vintage 2002s. I just ran across TNT alts. and I was wondering.... Anyone have any experience with TNT's alts.? They have a padron Anni Alt that's selling...

Anybody looking for an oust fan alternative for their humidor, take a look at these: Valterra Products - FridgeCool Fan with On/Off Switch - Refrigerator Accessories - Camping World Camco Mfg Inc - Fridge Airator - Refrigerator Accessories - Camping World I got the one in the second link a...

Mt Moo's post about other auction sites to ebay made me think that this would make for a good thread. So what are some good pipe and tobacco auction site other than the Bay?

Hey guys. I was at the Dollar store tonight with the little lady. As always I'm on the lookout for some MacGuyverable items. This time I spotted a little battery operated fan much like the discontinued Oust fan that many BOTLs use to circulate air in their humis. $2 + tax. Not a bad deal...

Does anyone have an idea for alternative litter storage? I've got a display humidor (slanted bottom), so an open dish/cup/shot glass doesn't work so well. I see that Heartfelt sells empty tubes, so that's one option, but does anyone else have creative alternatives? For now I'm using rolled up...

I've searched on the forum for an alternative to using spanish cedar, but didn't really find what I was looking for. I have put together a cabinet like (Dread) did, and I'm trying to figure out what type of wood to use for the back of the cabinet. Something that will hold some moisture would...

I have read several post that say there are better cigars for the money in reguard to Kristoff's. I really like the Kristoff Maduro, what others cigars are similar that are less expensive? Most post don't mention the "better" cigars but I would like to know some opinions so I can give some a...

Hello everyone. I am new to all this cigar stuff. :) I found JR Cigar via using Google. I am curious about the JR Alternative line. Are they the generic of cigars s to speak? I like the prices compared to the real thing. Where do I start, what to try first? I understand that cigars are...

I have three MM cobs that were designed to use paper filters. I've smoked each pipe with Medico filters and they worked just fine but I don't find them worthwhile enough to purchase. They get damp and grungy and I ended up replacing them every bowl or two. I use pipe cleaners after each...

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but saw these today at Sam's club. Sorry Team WA.. took these with my phone. Costs around $10, runs on AA. Didn't pick any up, but they are obviously readily available.

Hey guys, dont mean to start a new thread and all but am looking to attrack some users that me be using a different brand wine cooler than the Vinotemp. It seems everyone in the past has used to vinotemp because it was easily opbtainable from Target and was priced very well. Well, since the...

I just saw that Cigar Stalker is going away as of 7/1. Anyone know of a replacement? I love being able to know when the Joe Jams are updated so I can have a shot at getting those that stay up for like 3 minutes. :)

I've been looking for a good morning smoke for who knows how long now. Has anyone tried a cigar similar to the Montecristo white without the crazy price tag? I would like to hear your guys recommendations. Thanks for your time!

Does anyone know if it's illegal or just against Ebay and/or Amazon policy to let folks sell tobacco? :dunno: I imagine a pipe centric site would be fairly well received... What do you guys think of the idea? :popcorn:

I was going to do my review the way I do my others with a step by step analysis of this cigar like what lighter I used, cut, beverage etc. Forget it as I just need to jump right into this. Initial taste after lighting: Hay bale that had been out in the the sun somewhere in Bakersfield...

Alright friends, Some of you may know that I am a heavy biter of stems. I dont like it. I dont want to do it, but I do. I have already had to replace a beautiful Becker & Musico stem and it breaks my heart. I have been looking for a sensible alternative to the enormous rubber pipe bit...

LGC has been my goto brand for awhile. Actually I smoke more the el credito line which is made my LGC. The el creditos used to be a good cheap alternative(if not the same) for the LGC but they seem to be getting pricey and very hard to find consistently. With the economy in the tank I'm...
