Hello friends - I smoked my first handmade cigar in September of 2010. I enjoyed it and continued to buy and smoke 2-3 a month. Earlier this spring I decided to go all out and buy a humidor. It was a 20 capacity Acid humidor, which I bought even though I had never smoked an Acid cigar because I...

My goodness time flies, doesn't it? Has it really been a year already? My cigar smoking career began in October of 2010. I had never smoked anything in my life, but for the last several months I felt compelled by some unseen force to try a cigar. I already loved wine and cigars have an identical...

I have been in a cigar slump recently. I've sampled a ton of domestics and keep going back to Padron 1926 naturals and a few others. Perhaps I have narrow tastes. Of course, as excellent as these cigars are they still do become tiring on the palate after a while. I decided to take the plunge...

Did that get your attention? Good, I think..... Barefoot :bowdown: generously wante me to try tres cigars blind and post my reviews. Well, he sent this mystery package that arrived safe and sound yesterday afternoon: Nothing but "Uno" "Dos" and "Tres" on the tubos. all the same size...

I thought I would start this thread as a journal while I smoke my way through my newbie trade sampler provided by Contrabass Bry. I wont go over my whole history as that can be found in the introduction thread. For the record I have been smoking a pipe for a bit less than a month. I am currently...

Let me begin by saying this is a wonderfully crafted cigar. The burn was razor sharp, the draw was perfect and it never required a relight. It was ... Read the full review here: Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature Cigar Review - A one dimensional journey.

Since joining the forums, I have decided to get up to speed and play some SERIOUS catch up on the non-Cubans. Basically, when online and purchased a heap of cigars from some US online retailers. After a bout of hay fever, a minor setback, I have been literally smoking my head off and now decided...

First of all, let me say this : :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo: :woohoo::woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: 3 hours ago Tash finished totally with the hospital. Final treatment with Herceptin was done this morning & the PICC line has been removed. No more trips to Oncology every three weeks, no more...

As most of you probably know CI's weekly deal is the 30 cigar Gurkha Historical Collection. I know many of you don't like Gurkhas, they have more lines than RP and Perdomo combined and a lot of them use very similar blends. I have had the pleasure of trying some of Gurkhas premiums like the...

Well, I have enjoyed cigars for the last 2.5 years and I still will occasionally. I walked into the humidor to buy a cigar one day, and realized I would burn up $10 in around one hour. I have always wanted to try a pipe, never have. So I decided to buy a pipe and some tobacco instead of a...

Hey, I'm putting together a shopping list because I'd like to try out representative tobaccos from each of most of the "major" categories. I've got down: VaPer - Escudo English - Esoterica Penzance Virginia - Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake Balkan - C&D Star of the East Burley - Macbaren...

I thought that while everyone else in the world was packing in to see Dark Knight, that we would slip in and watch Journey to the Center of the Earth. Surprise,surprise! - the theatre for the 3D version was almost full. We had seats about 30 feet back from the screen and I think that made the...

[Begin ramble] Sometimes I wonder if I have a mixture of OCD, schizophrenia, and packrat-ism. After liking my first couple of cigars, I do the usual Club Stogie thing and get a greased-bottom sled for the slope and spend way too much money. Boxes of cigars, remote hygrometer, beads etc etc...

Here's a new thought. What's your cigar journey? I don't know how to explain doing it, because everybody has and will include different details. I'll get it started, mine should give you some ideas. I've heard that "life is a highway." I don't know if that's true, I hate the highway...

Took a trip today, as there is no B&M near me. I was hoping to replace a broken meerschaum pipe, but didn't find any good ones today, but I did find some other stuff that broke the credit card. I asked rehbas21 if he knew of any places since he's somewhat near to me in location. He recommended...

As some of you may remember, 2 months ago I rediscovered how much pleasure and enjoyment I personally derived from smoking cigars and I decided to get a lot more serious about it, from properly caring and storing my cigars while buying boxes so that I'll always have them at hand instead of...

I am not a huge Journey fan but this really impressed me. It seems that Journey has been looking for a new vocalist and Neil (guitarist) was tired of the interview process trying to find someone that can come close to Steve Perry in vocal ability. So he opened it up to YouTube and he would look...
