I received an '03 HdM HdD from Tripp in my MAW. This is a cigar the FoH raves about when aged, with the advice being the cigar needs 5 years before it's something special. I had very high expectations since often their reviews have been spot on. The cigar is a Coronas Grandes - 6 1/10 x 41 rg...

Howdy all! I have noticed a couple places in the capital city have a place to share a cigar now. I am looking for a place to go during a possible business trip in 2 weeks. I'm not looking for anything too trendy, loud or crowded on a Monday? night. I have found a couple possibilities. Can...

Trying to decide on the next box purchase and narrowed it down to these two. Would appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.

I am currently having another Montecristo Le Cigare des Arts Delacroix, sort of a toro size that comes very well packaged with individual aluminum tubes and an ornate box with elaborate artwork. Now I am relatively new to NCs and don't normally smoke NC Cuban brands but this is one of the few...

Hi everyone, my name is Pat. I'm brand new to the forum. I am looking forward to learning more about cigars and getting some good recommendations too.

Me again! Totally forgot my second question! Some years ago I had a Montecristo Le Cigare des Arts Belicoso Larga. Wonderful and unique cigar (Dominican with Dom. or Braz. filler, and Indonesian wrapper). I suspect the wrapper was a major contributor to its uniqueness. Alas, these cigars are now...

the double edge sword solid feeling cigar. leather and tobacco smell used scissors to cut it and it lit right up. first few puffs are very peppery and it wants to burn bad right from the start. i'm gonna give it a chance to correct itself pepper is still strong,wood and earth tobacco also...

I was lucky to pick up half a box from '98. Smokey and smooth with light citrus tones. A must get of you can find them. Read the full review here: Hoyo de Monterrey (Cuba) Le Hoyo des Dieux Cigar Review - Great from 98

I do not know the year as this came from a fiver. This was smoked with a rum and cherry coke. The draw was very good and burn was prefect. Initially the flavor and body were very mild. about a quarter of the way into the smoke it started to pickup a little body and some earthy flavors...

ok, I know these guys were made from 98 til 02, and were replaced by Monte platinum. What I can't explain is: why I found a 9/10 full box of the 'A' at a shop when visiting a friend... Meaning, they already have at least 6 years of age on them. Anyone tried these before? I know they were...

Hi all, I am wanting to get some opinions from anyone who lives in Iowa, Des Moines especially, where is the best place to pick up some quality smokes? I usually go to David's Briar Shop in Merle Hay Mall but I was wondering to see what other places there are that people know of. Thank you,

Hello all, I am a new board member and I am just starting to get into the hobby. I have smoked cigars for a years but never had any stored at the house. I usually just went to David's Briar shop and picked up a few and smoked them with friends. My 5th Wedding Anniversary was on June 28th and...

Tonight I'm smoking a 07 des Dieux gifted to me in the MAW/PIF by BamaDoc77 (thanks Stewart!). I'm on the porch in 85 degree Texas evening heat with some JW Red Label. This is a very attractive stick - good proportions (6x42) and a dark, smooth wrapper. The prelight draw was looser than I...

Shaerza commented I haven't reviewed any CCs. True I haven't. So his bomb rests for another day. I do have a treat I've been sitting on. Ji sent me a HdM Des Dieux '01 last year. I decided to try it out tonight. It's a 6x40, handsome little lass. It's well-constructed and has been kept at...

I've been lurking these forums for a few months and finally gave in and decided to create an account. I don't smoke a ton in the winter because the weather is to harsh (maybe 2-3 times a week). I know a decent amount about cigars however I'm looking to learn more about how to keep cigars in...

Just tried my first one of these. Nice construction and pre-light aroma. Burned evenly though it took some work to get a good draw at times. I love Hoyos, normally smoke bigger RG sticks. I found this a bit harsh and one dimensional. I'm a bit underwhelmed. There was a discussion recently...
