Hey everyone, I've been lurking for a couple weeks and finally decided to join. I just started smoking cigars a few months ago when I was in Tech School, a buddy of mine picked out an Oliva Serie O for me, and I've been hooked ever since. Basically I'm just here to learn as much as possible, I...

I just bought a humidor and in the process of seasoning it. I have a calibrated digital hydometer (calibrated by the salt test) in there. Basically all i did was put a shot glass filled with distilled water in it. It been about 12 hours and its seems like the shot glass has the same amount of water...

So there is a Rocky Patel sampler on famous-smoke.com this month that really caught my eye. I decided to not spend more money on cigars for a while, but this seems like a really good deal, and it says that the proceeds go to the Cigar Rights of America in some way. I have only had one Rocky Patel...

Has anyone tried HONDURAN FACTORY COROJOS or the Factory Direct Nicaraguan bundles that Lynn cigars sells? Are they any good?

Hello fellow brothers of the leaf, i'm exicted to join this forum. I'm looking to make some new friends, learn, and possibly share some of my experiences with some of you. I've been smoking for several years now, and I know my way around a b&m if you now what I mean. Anyways, glad to be here,...

I'm Sean. I'm new here. My favorite cigars at the moment are 1. Oliva Masterblend 2. Padron 5000 3. Nub Habano What are your favorites??

Hello, I'm new to this forum and new to cigars. Loving this cigar thing, which is weird for a fitness nut like myself who was anti-smoking for a long time (didn't know what I was missing). Got a collection started and my humidor set up after a tedious curing process (that's what happens when...

At the Casa currently. Mojito on the way.

Over the past year, i have come to the realization that i love cigars. A friend originally got me to try Backwoods, and thats what set off my interest. I received a 1964 anniversary addition padron for my birthday and LOVED it. And, while it was delicious, it is unfortunately out of my price...

After much correspondence with General over my complaints about LaGloria Series Rs I am looking for a replacement. They are rolled so tight now that they will not stay lite and a real "head ache" to draw. I have smoked a box of Bellicosos a week for a couple of years now and you never know what...

Hey everybody, I am new to the forum but found it while surfing the other day. I smoked the occasional cigar for the past few years now and am looking into picking up my first official humidor. I'm looking into getting a Bally Rosewood Humidor and am curious if anyone else has something similar....

Howdy Cigar Folk! Thought I'd drop in and say hello. Been lurking around the 'gar-webs for a few years now, but just now joining in at this fine establishment. Any other Oregon (or S. Wash) folk around?

Hello everyone. I've been lurking and reading here for about a month. I finally became a member and wanted to say hello. I work in an industry where it is very common for the execs to go out for a cigar smoke and talk business. This got me motivated to learn about this intriguing "cigar...

Have anyone ever ordered from texcigars.com? I was wondering if this was a legit vendor or not.

Hey, I am new to cigar smoking and was wondering if you guys had some recommendations. I tried the Pardon 1964 aniversery, and i thought it was pretty good. I think i am trying to aim for maybe cigars that are sweet, creamy, chocolate, and coffee tasting. Thanks

I have been getting a bunch of info from everyone here so I thought it would be polite to say Hi. My background with cigars started as a kid riding with my uncle and cousin home from a camping trip. My cousin and I thought we were super cool because we both just bought zippo lighters and smoked...

I bought a vintage cigar box today (cedar inside and out) and it will be used as a humidor. I am debating if I should treat yje outside with oil or varnish. I was thinking varnish may help seal in the humidity but I am concerned it may infiltrate the wood and create an issue with how the wood...

Hello all Over the years I've dabbled in cigars...handouts at weddings, poker games, etc... but none of these really caught my attention. However, a few months ago a good friend brought over a couple Davidoffs and Bolivars and something clicked. I guess I'd never sampled a decent cigar before....
