Re: Tampa trip...what should we do there?

Its fun to walk around Ybor City. Eat at the Columbia and have fun watching the rollers in the little cigar shops. If you bring home some cigars, freeze them. I brought home some beetles once...

Re: Lighter burner clean up

I bought this from Amazon. It’s about $17 a can, so I wouldn’t have bought it to clean a cheap lighter. An old Nakimichi receiver, that’s different!

I had a favorite cheap lighter burner getting clogged and not producing a good flame. I’ve tried various ways of cleaning lighters over the years without success. But, this time I have some...

Re: Oliva Serie V Club Cigarillos

I had a long term assignment once which required living in a no smoking hotel. I really liked the Partagas Black Prontos for a walk around the neighborhood. Nice little cigar.

Re: Just a heads up Cigar Page sent me cigars with the presence of bee

I also freeze everything and have since getting critters from some Ybor City cigars. I put the cigars in a ziplock bag with some humidity packets and freeze at least 3 days. Then, I let them defrost...

Re: Cheap strong sticks?

A J Fernandez makes many strong Nicaraguan sticks as catalog cigars that can be has for $3 or $4 on Cbid. Look at the various Man O War versions. Also, I like the Ava Maria Divinia and the HUpmann...

Re: LONSDALE love!

CI is selling off some Casa Fernandez “Short Churchills.” They’re not exactly a lonsdale, but in the ballpark. Have some age on them and quite nice.

Re: Last Call Pequenas

Yeah, Last Call doesn’t hit many buttons for me. If you’re looking for a smaller cigar, try the Man O War Puro Authentico. Strong little sucker that’s a good last one of the night cigar.

Re: Wood humidor construction questions

I once bought a lovely solid wood humidor from an artisan. Really pretty, with a land scape hand-painted on top. Within a few months, the top had visibly warped and it was useless as a humidor. If...

Re: NC Trials

You know, the cigars I traded to you are very powerful Nicaraguan cigars. They’re the end game after 30 years of smoking progressively more powerful sticks. If you start there, it’s gonna feel like...

Re: AJ Fernandez new world oscuro

Thanks for the review! Of the various cigars A.J. makes under his own brand, I've always like the Enclave the best. The real sleeper is the cigar he makes for the Upmann brand. That isn't as peppery.

Re: Costa Rican Coffee

My favorite source of roast beans is Old bisbee roasters. They rotate different beans so you’d have to watch when CR beans are available.

Re: COH Custom Rolled?

I've always considered Joya to be too strong. Or maybe, strong for no good reason. Besides the Upmann, I'd suggest:

- Oliva Series V Melanio (the priciest of my suggestions)
- Ava Maria Divinia...

Maybe try some sticks from E.P. Carillo? He originated the La Gloria Cubana (US version) back in the day.

Re: Cabinet Arrangement?

I’m assuming you mean a mechanical humidifier with a fan? If so, the air coming out is probably very high humidity. So, mold or no mold, the cigars close to the outlet will be more humid.
