I have a Xikar xi1 and I'm not really liking it. I have yet to have a perfectly clean cut, I always seem to get some stragglers in the center of the cap. Do you guys have any tips for these cutters? Maybe I'm missing something? I had a cheap double guillotine that worked great for awhile and figured this Xikar was an…
This is something I understand but I just don't understand. New cigars go in the humidor and the flavors smooth out over time and the enjoyment factor goes way up. This seems to be the general consensus around here and standard operating procedure. My question is...why is this necessary??? When beer hits the shelf it is…
I'm getting married in a month and was wondering what everyone thought was the best cigars to buy? Looking to purchase around 30-40 cigars? Any suggestions appreciated.
Media Noche? (Midnight?) Is it a wrapper color? Is it a wrapper process? (Like the maduro process.) Is it an Oscuro by a different name? Montecristo Media Noche, Romeo y Julieta Media Noche, H Upmann Media Noche,The list goes on and on..............

Vieja, with a red band, shaggy foot. Think it was a special release. I believe zebra sent it to me...anyone have ideas what it may be? Wanting to try and locate a few.
I got 2 tubos yesterday, courtesy of Retircs 1, and took one out to look at it, having never seen one before (I don't know why, but I started thinking about log cabins). It seems to me that such a big cigar would take a longer resting period, is that correct? Let me explain for clarity. I smoke very few maduros and even…
Can you blow one? Been trying? But cant figure it out. Lol
We have yard gars, I'm now making a category called sick gars.About a month ago, WB sent me some RP Cargos that he did not care for. I threw em in my cooler....well I'm not sure why, probably because it was pretty empty and I did not want to look at them in my humi. Anywho, there they sat until this weekend. First day of a…
Ever since I put my cigars in a coleman cooler with boveda 65%, my cigars have really done well. Boveda packets seem to last longer too. Cooler is not big but I can always get another one for cheap. I for one will not get another cedar humidor again. I forgot to intially wash it out, but no plastic smell was ever an issue.
