Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
What does it mean if a cigar "flames" when you purge it? A member here who writes some of my favorite reviews usually mentions whether the cigar he's smoking does this but I can't figure out why it...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I used a cheap cutter when I first started. Actually I used a razor but then I got a cheap cutter. The cheap cutter worked very well for awhile but then began to cut less cleanly and easily and to...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
My bad you're right. This isn't an appropriate thread for a joke like that. But I couldn't help myself. Every time I look at the R&J (non CC) cedros in my humi a picture flashes through my brain of...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I used these for awhile until I was given a xikar as a gift. The xikar is undoubtedly safer but the single edge blade does do a beautiful job. I've even used a double edged razor blade (I shave with...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I just received some Perdomo Fresh Rolled. The blurb at CI says
"tobaccos are already aged yet they’re rolled and shipped immediately"
This makes me think most cigars must receive additional...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I'm relatively new at ordering online also. But I've personally had good luck in the last few months with my orders from both CI and Famous (http://www.famous-smoke.com/). I was also impressed with...

What does the wrapper leaf contribute?
I was examining a cigar and realized the wrapper is only the thickness of one tobacco leaf. This made me wonder a couple things. If so little of the cigar is wrapper, how much can the wrapper...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I hear that. The dehumidifier in my basement runs 24/7 all spring and summer. We've had rain every day for a couple weeks now and that surely doesn't help. I've moved my cigars to the bedroom to...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
It's good to know there are variations in the cigars and it's not just me.
So I won't need any 70% at all? I like that. The gel humidification I'm using now is 70 and that seems like the default...

Just my imagination?
I haven't been keeping cigars at home for very long so I thought I would run this by all of you.
I've got a tupperdor and I've had maybe 20 different kinds of cigar in it for anywhere from a couple...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I thought at first that if I just learned a few technical terms and rules of thumb and identified a few smokes I like I could just order boxes of those and I'd be all set. Now I'm starting to get the...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Why do the cigar manufacturers make house brands for famous and CI? And what are those cigars? I like all the Toranos I've tried and I just read that they also make the 5 vegas "A" cigars. And...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Maybe I will. I bought a five pack and five singles. The fiver had a dated slip of paper stuck on the baggie and each single had one in its bag or stuck on the tube or wrapper.

Thanks for the answers. I don't see myself chasing down too many rare and expensive smokes right away unless I read something here that piques my curiosity about one. I'm still being amazed by the...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I'm new to buying cigars online. For that matter I'm new to smoking anything but Macanudos. I've been looking and reading and I see cigars that are "rare" and "limited production". But except for one...
