The more whiskey/bourbon the better the taste of the cigar....much like sex in that at the start of it if it doesn't "taste" right add some whiskey/bourbon and who cares? Draw any implication and stir.

Kaizad Hansotia has found his niche in the industry and has exploited it in such a way as to become the Red Headed Step Child that hardly anybody likes....except those who he pays to keep his brand in the market. If putting out a new cigar every 3 months and having it taste like a variation of...

YW...Young cigars give off ammonia as a byproduct of fermentation so this is another reason as to why some marginal cigars get a bad rating. Resting gives them a chance to balance their profile while some brands you can't help at all. ..this is where personal choice comes into play...but I'd...

As always...great post and well thought and delivered. We all need reminders esp. after 60 years old...you'll understand when you get there.

Most lighter issues happen because of improper technique when recharging.....google "how to refill lighters" and you'll see the right technique to use. It takes awhile to learn it right but once you do...you won't have many problems afterwards. Took me a half hour one day with a POS lighter...

Unscented...always. I use ExquisiCat....it has the little blue pearls which don't cause any issues and it's about $12 a jug which for me has lasted about 4 years...and I have a lot of humidors of every type. I posted this right after the other brother so you have a reply with one amen.

I did an experiment about 5 years ago with about 30 different NC brands and had them in separate tupperware humidors to gauge at what rest intervals they smoked best. This went on for a full year and documented the results on another Forum where I would smoke them after each month and measured...

A friend of mine had the same issue with these....and he kept his at 62% and rested after he ordered them for a year. He sent me one of them to try it out and yes....this sucker was plugged and tight but he knows I have a draw tool that will open up even the most stubborn plugged cigar. After...

The volume of cigars to any humidor/coolidor/tupperador should be around the 75% fill rate to let enough air inside and for the cigars to not be so cramped inside. Some will want to fill them up at almost a 100% which doesn't allow for any free air flow inside. For any humidor that isn't able...

My lawyer fees is what I'd be worried about if I brought that home....probably would buy 10 or more boxes of them as a start. Mebbee I could sneak em in through the underground?

I've got a lighter fetish...30 so far and the ones I use the most are Xikar Exodus Soft Flame....and Ronson. Coulda saved myself a thousand but I love lighters...oh look...there's another one!

When you find the "right one" it's magic! Took me 25 years married to the wrong one to see what the right one was all about. We celebrate our 10th next Feb. and it's been great. Congrats for 37 years...that's a milestone for sure!

Hence the invention of dental floss...or so I'm told.

If you travel a lot....get a good Herf A Dor..worth their weight in gold.

I like cello....it protects and when I receive them I cut off both ends. This gives me the best of both worlds.

Some good Cuban Maduros....Magicos, Genios and Secretos.

Gurkha....for the man who has no taste and a cigar that proves it has none as well. Why is it that whenever I see or read an article about Gurkha cigars I want to find a Time Machine and go back to recover what I lost?

Atlanta...finally getting some cooler weather and went out on the patio and smoked a churchill sized cigar. Ahhhhh....I've missed the cooler weather.

I don't have the energy to hunt down cigars anymore...when they are available then I'll get some. This gets tiring after awhile to tease us constantly with the hint that they "might" be out there soon. As much as I love the branding this is getting really old...JMHO.

Been buying Cohibas for about 20 years now...started the practice of buying one box a year to let rest/age and buying a half dozen to smoke through the year. It's turned out to be one of my best investments and strategies....once a box hits the 5 year mark it is taken out and enjoyed and since I...
