A while back, I posted a thread entitled "Humidor Theory," where I talked about air flow inside humidors. I hypothesized that you could make an inexpensive humidor perform like an expensive one by adding a grate for air flow and over-killing it with humidity beads. I applied these...

I just bought an inexpensive humidor and was a little dismayed at its light-duty construction. It fits the pattern that Herf N Turf describes in this thread. This not a criticism of the humidor supplier. Given how little I paid, I don't think it was a bad deal. It's just a case of "you get what...

Ok, a few years ago, scientists realized that kids that grow up with dogs and/or cats have fewer allergies and better immune systems. Are we making the environments for children too clean? Now that someone's got the bright idea to make it illegal to smoke in a car if a child is present, I can...

I found this on a website called the alpha omega report. This may or may not be my opionion, I just thought it was interesting. Another Step Forward For The New World Order: Move To Outlaw Fast Food There is a movement underway that is in its early infancy. The movement is secretly backed...

One of my favorite CCs is the La Flor De Cano Selectos, a short filler cigar. I smoke at least 2-3 per week. The box I'm smoking on now is barely 1 year from the box code. This morning I smoked a Piedra from June '07, another short filler cigar barely 1 year old. The thing is, neither of...

A couple of weeks ago volum (Justin) wanted to send me a little "letter" as a housewarming gift, unfortunately for me I made things difficult for him. He managed to track down my address and blew my new house up. 5 of these were VERY shy - some with lots o' age (one already disappeared) and...

This is from http://www.nubcigar.com/intro_nub.php. "After learning from the Oliva family how cigars are rolled in Esteli, Nicaragua, the Oliva family and Sam created "nubs", which is a concept that seeks to deliver only that most enjoyable part of the cigar. The idea for the nubs came from the...

If your looking for John Paul George or Ringo, you failed cigar 101.:r Seriously, I have seen on a rash of beetle infestations lately on forum sites. And I was talking to my B&M owner and he said that what you put in your humidor last should be suspect. I agree with that, but then he said where...

March 19 of this year was Einstein’s birthday. He would have been 128. Few people remember that the Nobel Prize winner married his cousin, Elsa Lowenthal, after his first marriage dissolved in 1919. He stated that he was attracted to Elsa because she was well endowed. He postulated that if you...

Okay so this is the theory that I've been turning in my head. Pure speculation. I believe that Habanos is marketing to Americans by proxy. Americans love maduro cigars more than Europeans. Americans love the Robusto/Petit Robusto sizes (perhaps because we don't have a 35hour work week!). I...

Doug asks, "I know you're crazy about that little daughter of yours, Bill. What are you going to do when she starts to date?" Bill says, "I figure I'll take the first young man aside, put my arm around his shoulder, and pull him close to me so that only he can hear. Then I'll say, "Do you...

(Snake Model) Upon encountering a snake in the Area of Operation (AO): * Paratrooper: Kills the snake. * Armor: Runs over snake, giggles, and looks for more snakes. * Infantry: "Look, a putty cat. Come 'ere kitty . . . Ouch! Hey, that's not a kitty cat." * Infantry (alt): "Ugh! Me see...

Ok, I can already think of a few problems with my theory but I'll submit it to the Jungle for further thoughts. Here's the hypothetical situation: "I purchase some boxes of cigars (what cigars they are is no relavent to this theory) So I have several boxes of cigars that are as aged as the...

Did you ever notice that music & fashion trends seem to cycle approx every 20 years? For example, remember how being a hippie was somehow cool again in the late 80’, and today when you turn on the radio you would swear your listening to post-punk bands from the early to mid 80’s? (The Strokes...

Forgive me if I'm like the last person on earth to think of this... It's slow at work today so I've been sitting at my desk thinking about all that happened on last nights season finally of LOST and it just hit me that I think I figured out the main theme behind everything that's going on on...

This is what happens wnen you run out of things to talk about in a cigar shop! Is there a direct correlation between love of HOT sauce(s) and full-bodied cigars? Is there anyone who likes mild cigars and hot sauce or likes full cigars but can't take hot sauces?

I have been watching for a while and it seems to me that we have a lot of gorillas that spend quite a bit of time trying to find low cost smokes that are OK. Here's my thoughts on that subject - maybe because I'm getting older and stuff like that. I think more people would choose to smoke...

clicky Ya better stop, or we will have a lot more outsiders wanting in!

I think I have realised why CBid is so evil. As I was sitting there trying not to click on the bid option (And failing horribly by the way) I began to look at some of the things I was bidding on. Most of them were one's I have allready tried, but a few are ones I have heard about and wanted to...

The Buffalo Theory by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went: "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this ... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the...
