I just got hit by my first bomb from Shuckins!!! Thank you so much for this as I'm going to enjoy these bad boys with some Gentleman Jack. I will start mailbox repair tomorrow.

So I've been saving a single tin of Early Morning Pipe for a few months and finally cracked it open today to switch to a jar. I found that it wasn't ever really sealed! It was obvious when i was able to open it easily with my bare hands. When I opened the tin the rancid scent of vinegar singed...

I finally felt healthy enough to enjoy a pipe. I had a sore throat, an was praying it wasn't strep. I'm out here in the garage enjoying my dark star, listening to music and browsing online. This b**** is over unfortunately, and she keeps trying to make passes at me, she's been trying for a while...

I'm fairly new, so I was wanting some insight on my situation. I am currently using a tupperware container to store my sticks with 2 water pillow packets. It has been a good setup while I wait for my new humi to come in. I usually have 5-10 sticks. So I had a buddy come over and smoke with me...

No, the house didn't burn down from a turkey fryer and no one left the dinner table in tears, but I managed to get a sinus infection from hell last Sunday and it's still dragging on in full force. Usually looking at the humidor gets my mouth watering, but this week just the opposite. I got a...

My daughter decided to crack my laptop screen last night. Now I've gotta use our slow-ass desktop until I can get it fixed. On a similar subject check out this funny site. www.shitmykidsruined.com

Smelvis got me really good, and I was at work when it came! :frusty: He offered to send me a "few" cigars that fellow puffers were smoking, so I could expand my palette, that was after posting that thread about me needing some advice on what to try based on my "have had" list. He didn't...

hello everyone. I am new to cigars, so forgive any ignorance on my behalf. I recently got a humidor and seasoned it with distilled water, using a clean cloth. A few months later, worrying about scents being imbued in my stogies, I did a test. I poured distilled water over the same type of...

A buddy came back from the Dom. Republic. Bought Cigars there 3 weeks ago. There has been no humidor, stored in a closet for 3 weeks. Heat has been outside 20-35. But it should be room temperature. Are they completely ruined?

Im not sure if this has been posted about, but I was an idiot and figured the PG solution I got was basically distilled water, then after hours of reading and what not, I find out it is totally different. I lightly lightly, wiped the inside of my humidor with a sponge with PG, and had a shot...

Last year I attended a Rocky Patel event at my local B&M. Had a few to drink and smoked some great cigars and the next thing I knew I was carrying about $200 worth of RPs home with me. I didn't have a humi at the time, so they gave me a few cedar RP boxes to take em home in...they were old...

I normally have very good results in aging tobacco in a small 4oz size jar when Cellaring no less than two years. However I was so dissapointed to learn that this process absolutely failed me with Penzance. the flavor is gone and it is now weak and has only one note throughout the smoke. Sad day...

The other week a friend told me a story about a hunting trip he recently took in Canada. There was another hunter with him who was enjoying a good cigar, apparently a $26 stick and he asked me if you can tell the difference in a high end cigar. After educating my friend about quality of...

I've never scoffed at the importance of proper lighting techniques, but it was super-windy, my Blazer was on the fritz, and I was a bit rushed overall. The result was a charred, bitter stogie unlike any PAM I've ever smoked. Yechh! I've rush-lit cigars before, but I've never seen the flavor...

My buddy works in the banking industry and one of his clients had this huge humidor in his office. So they get to talking about cigars a bit and they guy says "You ever have a Cuban?" and gives him 6 MONSTER cigars. If I had to guess, these babies are 56 or 60 x 7.5" So he shares one with me...

Last night I was almost done lighting my cigar and my lighter quit on me, maybe 5 seconds before I was done. I couldn't get the lighter to cooperate, so I returned to my room and put the cigar on my shelf. It's foot is lightly singed but doesn't smell of old cigar. Do you think I'd be able to...

I came home from vacation to find my front yard in ruins, but six beautiful sticks survived. I've got a lot of work ahead of me thanks to Mike (mdj65). Thank you very much, the cleanup will be worth it. Pics coming soon. (a few days away from being able to post pics, sorry) But here is a list of...

seriously? seriously?!?! two smokes gone! :mad:

Last night I lit up a tatuaje black and found it to be fairly harsh tasting, nothing like what has been described by many others. I've let them sit in my Vino for at least a month to get some rest too. When these sticks were delivered to my house the mail carrier decided to put them in my...
