Hello all fellow puffers. I am still rather new at pipe smoking and have acquired a Dr. Grabow Riviera from a friend of mine. It's a decent enough pipe but it was treated very poorly. For one, it had a pretty bad cake in the chamber which I've since reamed. The other issue is that the pipe...

Hello all fellow puffers! As you can tell by the title of this thread and my rank on this site, I am new to the world of pipe smoking. Here's my question. I want to do the salt and alcohol treatment on an estate pipe I got as it has a rather nasty ghost. Being as I'm 18, I don't have access...

Hi, my name is Mark. I've recently started enjoying cigars and figured I would try to join a forum of like minded individuals. . I've viewed the site before and only just now registered to try to gather some knowledge on this hobby. Some things about myself... I'm 20 years old and am working on...

Hi. My roommates and I have been smoking a lot of cigars lately. Nothing impressive. We usually just go to our local shop and pay $7 or so for something; we try something different everytime. Anyways, we're looking to buy a set of say 12 or so. Unfortunately, we really don't know where to buy...

Hello, one and all. I accidentally discovered I enjoy smoking cigars a couple of months ago, so I'm still learning the basics. Expect me to ask lots of noobish questions for while!

Good evening everybody. In a few days I will be attending my first cigar tasting event at my local cigar lounge (which I am very excited about.) However I have never been to a tasting of any sort before and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or tips (or even what to expect for that...

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...

Hi I am currently working on a university project, where we have to buy an object for £1 and right about its history. Well I bought a pipe with my pound, but know nothing about it! I imagine that is is a very basic pipe, perhaps a holiday souvenir or something? But I am finding it hard to find...

Well I'm a novice smoker. Extremely novice. I've had an entire 2 bowls in my life. The thing is, I love the 2 I have had and will surely continue the hobby. Now for the recommendation: Which Dunhill should I buy? I'm inclined to believe that the entire "Dunhill is out of production thing" is...

My first post, eh ... There are lots of different cigar ratings around. Here are three and how I interpret them (today). YMMV. 1. http://www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar/Home/ There are some searchable ratings, but to get more ratings you have to visit the site regularly and download the latest...

I was graciously gifted an A. Fuente 'shortstory' from Gamayrouge @ the Vacaville herf. I felt the least I could do was write up a review with pics. I hear the lack of pics is a sure way to get gifted a box of black & milds at the next herf so I made sure to load up on the photos. Well, I...

Hi there guys I am a newbie / novice and I think that this is a fantastic idea. I am just not sure you guys are still doing this becasue the "Sample Pics and Listings!!!!!!" thread is empty. So on the off chance that this forum is still viable I would love to get into it. So going on the...

i need a mild/medium sampler and also a "starter" humidor. any suggestions?

Alright. I'm interested in going with one of these cigar samplers so I can get a better idea of what exactly floats my boat. But most of all, this will allow me to move away from the $2 cigar rack with confidence that I'm not wasting my money on something indecent. This will be a truly novice...

So I appreciate imbibeing on a cigar from time to time. It's not something I can enjoy on a regular basis so every few weeks or at least once a month I like to treat myself to a nice cigar. I love trying to things and being the odd bean in the bunch. I dig cigars because they are so natural...

I got bombed at work a few days ago by someone that knows nothing about cigars. I helped him out of a tough spot and he bought me these as a thank you. Not too bad for a novice. picture didn't work. Trying again
