I am looking at the cheaper ar15's and I am dumbstruck. I am hearing I should go for olympic arms , doublestar, or dpms. I was wanting to hear my fellow puffers opinions on the subject of which to go for and why one over another.

all this talk about beetles, any brand has more or less of the problem? name them sticks!!!

So, I went into dangerous waters tonight. I got a Zippo (I've ALWAYS thought Zippos were the COOLEST lighters) as a gift from a friend who doesn't know TOO much about cigar smoking. I took the gift and was very thankful for it, and it definitely holds a place in my heart, but I was hesitant to...

I need some help with humidity. i i recently got me a wine cooler and i have 4 little dishes of cat litter in there but i cant get my rh anywhere above 50. and actually i am having the same problem with my humidor. all of my cigars are still in my silly little cooler in my basment and i would...

Hey Brothers! The boss is out in Las Vegas right now at IPCPR and has been calling me with all sorts of exciting news. In the upcoming couple of weeks we are going to be having some clearance sales to make room in the humidor for several new brands. (Think 30%+ off) Stay tuned for details...

Looked for markings, even used a magnifier because I'm an old phart. None, nada, zip on any kind of identifier. My luck at thrift stores has been too good lately so this is probably China junk. It works and I kinda like the turret action of the burner.

As a general principle, I seem to notice that the more lines a given brand has, the more mediocre those lines, and thus the brand as a whole is. Just wondering if others have found this to be generally true or if it's something peculiar to me. Brands that seem to stick to making 3-5 great...

This post was from back in 2009 which should give you an indication as to how long I have let this cigar rest. (10/10/09) Vin, I did try a couple of the big RG Maddies that Jerry (Veteranvmb) sent to me and while I liked those big RG cigars don't really blow my dress up that much. I love the...

When my brain actually works it is usually in an odd sort of way. For those whose cigars have gone missing or have suffered actual seizure do you find that you lose any particular brand or is it completely random with no weighting giving to a particular label? I will start...Cohibas (one...

Sooo.....I'm avoiding the Monster (it's hard - Torano Cameroon on just a bit ago...) but browsing. Opinions on the "Famous 70th Anniversary" stuff? Alleged Camacho, Plasencia, and/or Garcia family cigars on the cheap. I've seen love and hate for vendor brands, but ~50 dollars a box is pretty...

Having tasted some awfull house brands in my time, this is a tasty cigar. A jet black wrapper that is smooth and oily with a very good burn. This i... Read the full review here: Olor Fuerte Robusto Cigar Review - A Very Good House Brand

I have about 2 dozen pipes. My nicest pipes are Petersons, Savinellis and a Stanwell (all nice pipes). I just ordered an estate Peterson from the Sherlock Holmes series, which are very nice pipes. However, lately I've been thinking of adding a higher end pipe ($150-250 range). Specifically...

While I easily see what the downsides of staying with one brand of cigars what are the pros other than dependable construction? In the past from what i gathered cigar smokers would stick with one brand, or "my dad was an avo man" and so forth. What are peoples thoughts about this. Is it...

After growing ever more frustrated with my two Lotus lighters and my one Bugatti lighter (all three consistently inconsistent), I started searching for a Ronson JetLite. None to be found locally, it seems, but I did run across a rather cool little lighter for just over $4 at Walgreens. Anyone...

Has anyone tried these for tobacco? I have a few bags of sealed Penzance in the stock Esoterica bag. I was thinking of placing that sealed bag in these and sealing it. What do you think?

Does anyone know of lesser brand name tobaccos that are similar to the much more publicized brands like Stonehaven, Irish Flake, Penzance etc. There must be some that are very similar, but maybe not.

So, I've recently bought a new pipe, I have a bid on a pipe on Ebay which will probably be the winning bid, and I want to buy one more pipe. I've put enough money into pipes lately that I only want to buy one (maybe two more if I go with some of the cheaper pipes on my list or lose the Ebay...
