I just started smoking cigars and I need some help. I am looking for a sweet tip/cap cigar. I tried the ACID brand and did not like them at all. A friend told me that is because they are infused. I've tried several cigars since then. The Bacarrat was ok, the Isla Del Sol by Drew Estate was better and I did not like the…
I just came back from the Dominican Republic and while I was there I bought a box of 25 Cohibas for $45 (haggled from $50). I knew there was a chance of them being fake but I didn't know anything about cigars so I split the box with my cousin. We bought it from a stand outside the mall in Punta Cana. We tried a couple when…
You think I'm joking, I'm not. It really does make me wanna poopie.
I've got a question. Does size matter? A cigar is made of filler, binder and wrapper. This I know. The question is about ring sizes and the taste of a cigar.

Since I have read in promotions for certain cigars that they use “true African Cameroon” leaf in their wrappers I assumed that at least some Cameroon wrappers are being grown elsewhere. So I've been…

Anyone here addicted yet? I dont smoke cigarettes, and I've only started cigars…

As a Chef and dealing with the storing of many different types of Grain/ flour, could it be that the larval of this cigar beetle is in bedded in the tobacco Leaf before harvesting?. and is dormant until the…
Ok so I was reading THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO CIGARS 2nd Edition (I've only been at this for a month) and there is a section in the book that shows the different shapes and sizes along with the estimated burn time. The robustos they estimate at 20-40 minutes and coronas at 30-45 minutes.Now I gotta say. I have smoked…
So...I've started the process of making one of these guys. I bought a 50qt cooler (just waiting for it to arrive...) and want to use heartfelt beads. Anyone know how many/how much I should use? The 1/2 pound bag seems like it'd be too much for that amount of space...Says it will work for up to 2.5 cubic feet (Which is…
Wife bought me a 48 qt coleman cooler. It contains 50 cigars. Will two 65% boveda packets be enough?
