When you empty out your shaver and the color of the trimmings reminds you of the ash of the great cigar you had last night, and you relive a lovely evening. A one-year old Los Blancos Sumatra - sweet, but not like candy. More like a cookie. Creamy, a little minty, a little spicy, and just...

For one, I wasn't even sure where to put this. It was a trade that got warped by puff math gone horribly wrong...lol I offered up with kozzman555 for some nubs, which I don't particularily enjoy. Of course there's always a few hitchhikers that tag along with most of my trades but nothing to...

So I thought I'd share a story on a stupid experience I had for laughs. On a recent day after work, I went out into the back yard to enjoy a daily smoke. As in most east-coast places, it's been raining incessantly here, but not this evening, so I took the moment to enjoy the outdoors and a...

I've only been in this hobby for about 18 months or so. Thus far, I never really put much effort into resting or aging. Sure, anyone can tell that a cigar needs a little aclimation time ROTT. That's just common sense for anyone that's spent much time on puff. I pay enough attention to be...

I am huge fan of Sonoma Cabernet. I know Napa gets more hype, but I believe colder weather sites produce better cabs. Personally my favorites come from Sojourn Cellars. Their 2005 Sonoma Mountain Terraces Cab is simply magical. Thank got I got a bunch of it in the humidor! What are some of...

Here is a look at my 2 humidors for now. I have some more sticks coming in this week.

I have three humidors going that I'm going to set aside for the moment... take care of some of the other stuff that is waiting to meet up with their cigars... But... these will be sitting on the shelf - I plan on doing some of the lid laminating on 'em.... and I have that coming up, so I might...

Still very much a noob here, but I had to write a quickie about a great smoke this afternoon.... It's cold here in the Appalachains now. Very cold. This has translated into me struggling to find time to enjoy many full sized cigars lately, since I don't smoke inside and can't for the life of...

We live at the foot of the mountains here in VA, and we are getting the first snow of the season. That means today we will go out in the snow, in the old 4x4, and cut our own Christmas tree!

I was out for the night when I get a call saying a mysterious package was on my doorstep. Upon arriving home, I start to open the package with bomb diffusing accuracy, but BOOM! I was hit by a great assortment of sticks from Smelvis! Lack of a computer and using wifi means no pics from the...

I was taking care of some business at a customer's store. On the way there I was working on a bowl of VA/per while wearing one of those light fleece jackets. While I was rooting around in their computer messing with the inventory system one of the employees walked by, stopped , sniffed, and made...

I was just sitting there watching football when the urge hit me. I needed to bomb some poor soul. I recognize that I might have a problem, but it's so much fun. Anyway, sorry in advance to the poor sucker. It will probably hit Thursday, maybe Friday and I'll be at Disneyland without a care...

I just wanted to drop a line to share with you my priceless moment tonight. My kids had been to their nana's house so I lit up a Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet Torpedo. I was enjoying it just relaxing watching tv. The Kids came home earlier than expected and wanted to play a game on the computer...

As often is the case, I look forward to each evening, when after the clock has been punched, my “house” duties have been fulfilled, I light the pick of the day, relax, and contemplate. This contemplation involves things of yesterday, today, and the future. There is no rhyme or reason to where...

Howdy there, all my work buddies look at me weird at how far I'm taking this Cigar business. I almost can't get enough of them. Travel somewhat exclusively for work, who knows, might be smoking a stoge in your neck of the woods someday! Motorcycles, Beer and or Scotch (sometimes a bit of Rum...

So today I'm in the process of arranging 3 new 5'rs in my humi, right? Mind you since I've had it (for about 2 months) I've never quiiite been able to get the humidity up to 70%, I was pretty content with it because it was always in the low to mid 60's...but was sort of confused, I thought the...
