Re: Anybody else prefer soft flame?

I'll use a soft flame on small vitolas and/or when indoors, but my only soft-flame lighter is a super-cheap Chinese Dupont knock-off... though I'm giving strong consideration to an EverTorch.

5 Vegas Gold treats me well... usually I'm smoking sweet/infused, but I get enough sweet out of my coffee, so something mild, creamy, and not overpowering (in either strength, tobacco flavor, or...

Re: How often do you Smoke??

I normally don't smoke at home, especially any time the kiddos could see (4-year old triplets and a month old)... the only exceptions being when mowing the yard or working in the garage. This leaves...

Re: Anyone have experience with these lighters? Cheap Ronson

I keep a few around (golf bag, glove box, etc) and also give them frequently as gifts to new smokers. I really like the dark-chrome art-deco line model... I found that you can scotch-brite and then...

Re: Nitro, Dulce Vita, VS 55 Infused, & other Thompson Exclusive Infus

I received the Nitro sampler today. Given the price, I'm happy enough with the quality.

Despite the "Java" in the name, these are much more of an herbal infusion along the lines of Acid and not...

Re: Nitro, Dulce Vita, VS 55 Infused, & other Thompson Exclusive Infus

I agree but, in general, the price precludes them from being an every day smoke for me.

Re: Nitro, Dulce Vita, VS 55 Infused, & other Thompson Exclusive Infus

Looking at the sad handful of non-infused sticks I have on-hand, that might not be such a bad thing! Actually, my infused stuff stays in a Cigar Caddy in my desk at work or overflows into a...

Re: Nitro, Dulce Vita, VS 55 Infused, & other Thompson Exclusive Infus

I went ahead and ordered the Nitro Sampler for $30... found a free-shipping on $25+ coupon, payed with ******, and checked-out as a guest without creating an account. Probably won't limit the spam...

Re: Nitro, Dulce Vita, VS 55 Infused, & other Thompson Exclusive Infus

I've tried most of the CAO Flavors, mostly from a couple of CI Infused Brown Bags I've done... Carmelo Joe is one of the few I like, but it's also one of the flavors that isn't available in a...

Nitro, Dulce Vita, VS 55 Infused, & other Thompson Exclusive Infuseds

First off, I'm not looking to start a Thompson bashing thread. I know to avoid ANY of their club/repeat-ship offers. I can deal with the spam, both email and snail-mail.

That said, I'm a...

Small metal ring inside Xikar Eris lighter?

I received a second-hand Xikar Eris recently. There was a small metal ring suspended just above the jet nozle that would glow hot when the lighter is lit. It was pressed down on one side and, in my...

Re: Cheap torch with BIG tank?

Re: Can you smoke your own at Casa Fuente in Vegas if you're drinking?

Can you smoke your own at Casa Fuente in Vegas if you're drinking?

Re: Cheap torch with BIG tank?

2 or 3 of the DX 1320 should handle the 20 sticks + touchups, correct?

Something tells me TSA might question me on the giant Zippo :)

Cheap torch with BIG tank?

I'm going on a couple of golf trips this summer. I'm in need of a lighter than can hold enough butane for lighting, relighting, and touching up 3-4 sticks per round for 3-4 guys... probably the...

Re: Devil Site Victims Anonymous

Just picked up a 10 pack of 5 Vegas Gold Bullion (6x60) for $26 shipped... if I can keep from padding my cart for the next 8 hours, I should be fine! :)

Re: Thoughts on this Non- Premium line...

I like the original, Gold, and (to my surprising) the Cask Strength. The Gold Maduro also didn't do much for me. I just got a 10-pack of Gold Bullion (6x60) on CBID for $26 shipped... these should...

Re: Looking for a sweet cigar.

As mentioned above, the CI Legends Copper Label by Drew Estates is an excellent choice and one of my favorites, regardless of price. It doesn't have the potpori essence that much of the Acid line...

Re: CigarBargains 02/08/13 - CigarCaddy 3540 15-Count - $10.14 negotia

Well, a 5-count is a single layer, so you're a bit more limited. A 15 is meant to be 3 layers with foam in between each... but if you remove the middle foam layers you can squeeze a few more in.

Re: Diamondback Robusto

I'm a fan. I tried them as a Baccarat alternative and actually prefer them... less of the sour aftertaste than most Baccarats seem to acquire in the last 1/3.
