Tonight I smoked a Capaiguan Guapos and an LP9. Both had very similar draws, both prelight and post. Both were stored in the same humi at about 65% rH. Both were lit using the 3 match technique. The Capaiguan gave very little smoke unless I puffed several times, and I had to work to keep it...

I'm bottom feeding for decent cheap smokes, Anyone have any experience with L. Lynn Cigars? Good. Bad or Ugly? Any really good lines they carry, and smokes to avoid would be most appreciated. Thanks, joe

It was just pointed out to me that Tampa Humidor (.com) has free shipping for singles. Wow! Good prices, too! So now I can buy singles instead 5-10 packs and spend far less total money... just what I needed. I always wondered about places like these, though. Is it "OK" to just get two or...

So who has a life-altering B&M tale to tell, good or bad? I'll start... I'm coming to terms with the fact that I may not actually have survived my flight to Germany. I may have died, and (hopefully) gone to heaven. I'm in Cologne now, which it seems requires me to visit Peter Heinrichs shop --...

Was wondering what you guys experience with Chonowitsch was like? tobaccorreviews is giving me mixed signals

Today I thought that I need some cheap(under 2$ a stick) cigars for casual smoking, sharing them with friends who have none or little experience with cigars etc. So I'm going to buy a box or a bundle non-cuban cigars but I have very limited experience with them. I was browsing some shops and...

I have placed quite a few orders this year, and have had mostly flawless execution. Just recently, I had 3 problems with 3 different vendors, and I'm happy to report all 3 were handled well. 1) I placed an order for several hygrometers from Famous-Smoke.com, and one of the units was defective...

I just came across the website for this cigar factory, Hoya de Cuba, in Houston, Texas. They roll their own cigars there, they do cigar catering, and cigar rolling demonstrations. You can even make an appointment. Their labels seem to be heavily inspired by Cohiba (the original Cohiba, not the...

What are your thoughts about the O-R FFOXs? Please share! Thx!!!

The Sphere in particular. I found one in a shop for less then web prices and want to know if it is worth it. It is a very funky looking pipe. Super stem. Similar to this one, just much brighter orange in the stem.

Anyone want to share their experiences with the Cigar Aficionado Top 25? 2008s #1 was the Casa Magna Colorado Robusto. I thought this cigar was mediocre at best, wasn't bed, but wasn't the #1 Cigar of the year in my opinion. For 2009s Top 25, I have two of the #2 cigar, The Cohiba Siglo V...

Hi guys, I felt like I should make a new thread since it might go out of topic. Cigar smoke does linger like crazy. My girlfriend and I took over her step-father's apartment and he's a big cigar smoker, smoking mostly cheroots stinky but packs-a-punch DeNobili Economy and others. When my...

Hello friends: I have a box of Oliva V Churchill Extras resting. Bought them in Jan 2009. What are your experiences with these cigars aged? Has anybody had these after 1-2 years of rest? 4-5 years? Thoughts and opinions would be appreciated! Thanks.

Well the first thing I can say about this is wow. Having only smoked blends prior to these that tipped more towards the aromatic end of the spectrum, I was not expecting the experience I got. The other day I went into my (semi) local B&M and explained my predicament: I have two cobs, I have...

Anyone have any experiences with pre-embargo's? I've never smoked anything from the era and was interested in trying a few just to diversify my palate. Are cigars of this era typically wastes of money or worthwhile smokes? Edited: These are R&J and Partagas's and are fairly reasonable in...

Anyone have experience with studying for a degree online? What colleges did you consider and why? University of Phoenix, Seton Hall, UMass? How did you like the team enviroment? Did your teammates do their fair share of the work? Any other opinions would be nice. My job has slowed a lot lately...

I just picked up a few of each of the whole line and have smoked the Sumatra and the Maduro so far what experiences have everyone else had. They seem to be pretty good sticks for the price. Maybe a little single dimentional but tastie none the less.

I've been following some of the Rum Threads recently and it peaked my curiosity so I've tried a few different brands recenty. I was hoping I could find a rum that I could drink over ice, something that goes down smooth and sweet without the burn. Here are the Rums I've tried Cruzan Diamond...

We all love in cigar smoke. All we can not live without our cigars. Most of us use humidors. I would like to ask about your experience with humidor? Sorry, if matters are not quite understand places - this is because of the google translator, which I use. If something is written inaudibility...

I will have beads from Heartfelt in a couple of days and I am wondering if the rapid change to XX% would be harmful to my singles... in my little baby vino or my desktop? any prior experience?
