Today I had a meeting with Nate (The smoking Samoan) the owner of Badgers Cigar Den in Schuylerville NY. I gave him a Panacea 760 and told him on average I would get about 3 inch ash intervals, he decided to put this theory to the test. Halfway down and the ash is holding strong... And...

I had a Casa Fuente in the drybox for about two weeks..but unfortunately..it was too wet to burn properly.:( When I disassembled it,I was amazed at how damp the tobacco still was! This got me thinking...what if it were possible to test the moisture content of a cigar before lighting to ensure...

well i decided to go big and order some Opus to see what all the fuss was about. I ended picking up a 10 pack sampler for 150+ from an online dealer. when they came in i checked them out and all were fine except one, large "separated" crack i guess you would call it, but goes all the way to...

I'm in Canada, which means tobacco is taxed like crazy. It's risky ordering outside of the country because you can get slapped with huge duty fees if they find out it's tobacco coming in. So... does anyone on here know of a general 'price list' as to what the average rate is for various...

I checked my 50-count humi this morning for the first time in a few days (it had been registering a steady 63) and the humidity had plummeted to 58%. I refilled the humidifier, and this evening it was still at 58%. Humidity outside the humi's around 30 (everybody's got chapped lips and dry...

Just a shout out to BT cigars, who kindly offered me his $10 off coupon for Famous. Here's the haul: One fresh case of Sancho Panza Dbl. Maduro La Manchas, and one Drew Estates Medusa (culebra). The Culebra was for a friend who paid me back full list price, so basically each of the Sanchos...

What do you do with the ash residue on your tamper after you tamp? I have a couple of red shop rags lying about that I wipe the tamper on after use...boy are they dirty. If it wiped it on my pant leg, I'd be filthy before the days end.

My mom brought me back this old beer stein from my aunt's. The picture in the middle shows the woman lighting her husbands pipe with a long wooden match (may be hard to make out in the picture) on either side there is a panel with an inscription, which roughly translates to: "The poorest devil...

Got my new imperfect Tuscany humidor from cheaphumidors.com today, already began seasoning it after inspecting it for 5 minutes. I cannot find a single nick, scratch, or ding on this thing. They must really be OCD about the condition of the humis they send out cause I dont see anything wrong...

Iv been smoking cigarettes for a while now, When I first started smoking cigarettes I got the classic nicotine poising(like in the old donald duck cartoons). Anyway the other day I was smoking a rather young flor de oliva corjo,(about 2 weeks out of the cello) and BAM! puking on my shoes.(not...

As most of you guys have probably already figured out, I am active on a number of outdoor / hunting / fishing websites. This weekend an event occurred that disturbs me deeply, and I wondered what a group representing the more general public (like, say, cigar smokers) would think of this...

There once was a 'baccy called Bracken Inside of my bowl it was packin' While a-smokin' I failed Accident'ly inhaled And quickly I found myself hackin'

IT IS OFFICIAL. Columbus Ohio is a crap shoot. i went to 11 different target stores and all 5 of the salvage stores that they sell to today. it was a 7 hour venture today. AND NO LUCK! I just wanted ot vent for a little while because they all say that they have 1 or 2 in stock... and they...

Does Latakia have a high Nicotine content? I have been working on a tin of Dunhill Nightcap and Dunhill Durbar which both have Latakia in them. After every bowl I smoke I get a sinus headache, which makes me drowsy. I do not notice this with any other tobacco. When I smoked cigarettes in the...

Recently there have been two threads that gave gotten a good bit of attention: The NSFW CS Favorite Celebrity pic thread and The Red Head contest thread. The latter required some rather extensive edits by PDS as well. We have lost at least one valued member over this. Others may well be...

So I inquired about the Zino Classic Numero 3 to Ken because he wrote a review on it. I just asked some basic question about the qualities of the cigar etc. Well he said something about sending me one. Well he went ahead and threw in one of his favourites as well- Davidoff 2000! This will be...

Is there a correlation between the amount of Zing or spice and the amount of nicotine in a cigar? To clarify, when smoking some sorts of maduros there is very little spice however when smoking some there is quite a lot. After smoking one such cigar with a lot of spice or zing (which was rather...

The last couple of times I went to my B&M, they've offered to discount (or just throw in) smokes they got at RTDA. All these up and commers, lowish price point cigars. Is that what they mean by boutique cigars? Today I smoked a Los Blancos Cigarros Maduro (robusto I think), or something like...

The Stogie Guys posted about what cigars were being smoked during the Mets NL East championship celebration from Monday night. Pretty good stuff... at least in the eyes of a Mets fan! http://www.stogieguys.com/2006/09/stogie-exclusive-mets-celebrate-with.html

What are your thoughts on the La Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduro No.4, Padron Londres, and La Vieja Habana Cedar Chateau No. 2? Tastewise, construction, etc... I just bought two of each of these and I like to hear people's thoughts on cigars before I smoke one so I can compare my observations to...
