    Evolution of Opus X

    I enjoyed OpusX back when they were first released ... before hype and gray market selling inflated their prices way beyond what I think they are worth. Haven't had one in many years. I actually prefer the Anejo line anyway, but still a special occasion smoke due to cost.

    AJ Fernandez mystery perfecto

    Smoked it after posting. Definitely a Dominican cigar, mild-medium with mostly cedar, light spices and a touch of dark chocolate from the wrapper. I'm almost certain it was a SS maduro, but why someone would mark is as AJ Fernandez is a mystery.

    AJ Fernandez mystery perfecto

    Found a little 4" x 49 perfecto in the recesses of the singles drawer today. I thought it was a maduro Short Story, but there was no band. On the outside of the cello someone had written AJ FERNANDEZ in sharpie. I likely received as part of a trade long ago. I checked some websites, but...

    Is This Cigar Over Hyped Or Is It Me?

    Nacho Daddy summed it up well; there are many factors that contribute to a great smoke. I've had more than a few experiences where longtime favorite cigars were plugged, burned horribly or just didn't provide the normal flavor profile. Just goes with the territory to get a dud once in awhile...

    how long have you been smoking cigars and what age did you start

    Both my parents smoked cigarettes since I can remember and I tried them as a teen ... made me sick. Never understood why people even wanted to be around these smoldering chemical sticks let alone breathe the fumes. I smoked quite a bit of wacky tobaccy during my college years, but nothing...

    What movie are you watching or watched?

    Went to see Flight last night with my son. Decent flick - the first 5 minutes had my rapt attention. :smile: The second half basically turned into an advert for AA / NA. One funny part was seeing Denzel try to clean up his act - including tossing out his "bud" stash he had hidden in a...

    Camcorders 2.0

    Searched and found the last camcorder threads are from 2008. So what's the story in recent days? With everyone and their mother on YouTube, I'm sure there should be tons of camcorders in daily use. (Or are most people using webcams now? I want one to take on vacation and for my wife to use...

    Bill Cosby is my hero....

    Bill Cosby is great ... always has been. But I don't see him actually smoking that cigar ... And it's a White Owl ... And that jacket is just too far over the edge ... But Bill Cosby is great.

    Blair Witch goes radioactive ... no thanks. Waiting for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Looks like a hoot of a comedy.

    Nothing beats a Padron

    I've never had a bad experience with Padron cigars. I can't say that for any other brand - and I've smoked all the major and many minor brands. You may not care for the flavor or find the price on the higher end models to be far in excess of your comfort range, but I think most would agree...

    Soft Flame Lighters

    Best soft flame lighter for me has been the IM Corona Old Boy. I've had mine for about 10 yrs now and never had a single problem. Lifetime warranty. Works well on both pipes and cigars. The Old Boy line runs about $110-$180, but they have other less expensive models. Check them out...
