Sorry about the fakes man! They could be really good cigars anyway! As for telling him, I've found that it's always easier to break the news and also steer him in the right direction for future purchases. Maybe give him a couple names of legit vendors. That way, it'll come off more as an...

Awesome! Herf at your house! TYLER

Thought I'd resurrect this review, as I'm smoking a regular production one right now. Almost identical, with maybe just a touch less of that perfect sweetness and a pinch more earthiness than the previous one. The twang after you exhale is a cross between a PL Lonsdale and a JL Obus. Going to...

Smoking a La Riqueza No. 1. This really might *the* smoke. The wrapper is not only the most flavorful, but one of the best burning I have seen in my life. The ash is pure white. F**king masterpiece. TYLER

Be careful with the coffee beans. The oils and moisture will over-humidify your sticks and they'll be moldy if you don't keep a close eye on them. My boss put some cigars in a tupperware full of coffee beans for a week or so and they were moldy as heck when we took them out! TYLER

Cool! And yeah, nice back room. It's the one that sells all the Cigar In A Bottle deals, yes? TYLER

Chuck, Was this event at the shop I met you at that one time? The one that had the roller's table in the humidor? TYLER

Sweet! I'm pretty jealous! What did you smoke? TYLER

DPG blues are great! Have you tried Pepin's Old Henry line? I think you can get 'em at Holt's. TYLER

Big ol' LGC. Tainos I think? TYLER

Never Ever EVER smoke one! If you are ever even considering it, just think about what I told you and grab anything else in the store. An Acid, A Quorum, a Karmasutrasplash, anything! Just not the Egg! That being said, it's a lot of fun to watch people try and smoke them. TYLER

Jeff, Bring some out to CO and we can trade! TYLER

The Casa Torano maduro lancero is a must-try if you're smoking lanceros. TYLER

Smoked a Monte Purito, an Illusione 4/2g, my last Johnny-O Lonsdale, and a little bitty RP sungrown. TYLER

We've got a couple cabs of the west coast in at my shop, but I've never smoked an east coast. Anybody want to trade me a couple east coast verocus? I've got a lot of other cigars to offer! TYLER

No prob guys! I actually picked that bit up when I had a couple smokes with Mitchell Orchant. Sure enough, the first plugged cigar I ran into back home I tried that on and it worked! What happens is that, when the filler is twisted inside the cigar like a corkscrew, punching holes in it...

A lot of times if you have a plugged cigar you can cut it in half and both pieces will be perfectly smokeable. It is common for the filler to be "twisted", if you will, which makes for a near-impossible draw, but cutting the cigar in half will often times fix the problem. Something to try on...

Congrats Chuck! It's reassuring to hear the good stories every once in a while. TYLER

Yeah, pretty much Pete only wanted to make an exact number of bands, maybe 50,000 or something, but they made more sticks than that. They used up a portion of the bands on promo sticks and stuff like that, but then they had extra boxes left over. So some of the sticks are foil-packed and...

La Aurora does that with their 100 Anos robustos. You can get Connecticut, Brazilian, Corojo, and something else, I think. It's pretty cool, and the Brazilian one is the best. I would put the percentage of influence a wrapper has on a cigar's flavor from around 30% to upwards of 65%. An...
