    Cigar Boss App (iPad) Not Working

    So I have to give my iPhone back to the company I'm retiring from. Got an old hand-me-down iPhone from my kids and trying to load up my usual apps. Cigar Boss not coming up! I still have it on my iPad, but I also like it on my iPhone, synced with my iPad, so my wishlist is at hand when I go...

    Cigars and drinks... favorite combinations?

    In the past I always had to have something, e.g. Coffee, scotch, rum... But lately I just go with water. I still like liquor with powerhouse cigars and weekend night smokes, but think plain water has led me to less potent cigars and still enjoy them. I think strong drinks tend to cover up tastes.

    Cigar Boss App (iPad) Not Working

    Any other users finding the app not working today? I've been using it for the last few months, track what's in my humidoor and notes on sticks, favorites, and wish list. Was having a look to choose a medium smoke for this morning but appears all data is gone. Have tried closing and reopening...

    Type of Cut vs. Taste

    Straight cut, vee, punch, other... Does it affect taste or is it just a look or mouthfeel issue? I normally punch at home, vee at the cigar lounge. Did a straight cut at home tonight, first in months, on a cigar that I had not previously liked, and it tasted better than my normal punch. Real...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    CAO Pilon Churchill. I really want these to be boxworthy, but they are not to me. Bought a 5er a couple of months ago, smoked one every three weeks or so, not getting any better. They do look great though, wrapper and label, are well constructed, good price point, but consistently harsh/bitter.

    Online Buying Unboxed vs Boxed -- Differences?

    Seems if they were doing that, they would still have the boxes. Unless they are buying just a few sticks of leftovers from other vendors here and there and re packaging/bundling. Seems like that would take a lot of someone's time to do that. Think I'll give them a call/chat next week and ask...

    Online Buying Unboxed vs Boxed -- Differences?

    I had tried a fiver of La Palina Black Label from CigarPage.com, liked them, decided to buy a box. Checking prices there for a box of 20, you can buy the box for $136, or just choose to buy "20 cigars" for $61. I've run into similar before when buying LFD Double Ligero Chisel Maduro on...
