    UPDATES- FDA Regulation Thread - Petitions, Links, Action Items

    This is not true, at least in the current form of the regulations.

    Crowned Heads Yellow Rose

    FWIW this is NOT a limited edition, the article is pretty clear about that: "Like the Tennessee Waltz, Yellow Rose will be made in small batches depending on production demands."

    Drew Estate bought by Swisher

    His two (unidentified) sources were correct about the sale, no doubt. Of course, he had to pull the post because it was "not fully correct" according to him. My point is that Swisher purchased DE in large part FOR the Acid line and what it brings to its company, so it makes no sense to shut it...

    Drew Estate bought by Swisher

    He had to take down the story because he had no verifiable sources that would speak on the record. Oh, and this quote: Although it is not yet clear what Swisher International’s intentions are for Drew Estate after the acquisition, it has been suggested by both of our sources that...

    Need a travel case recommendation

    Spend the money once on an Armored Humidor. You will literarily never need another one (unless a different size of course).

    2nds/Seconds/Overruns/Mistakes Guide

    I would like to point out that I proved pretty conclusively that the Ligero Laced F bundle sticks are NOT Cain F lanceros about 18 months ago. (I am ONLY speaking about the Ligero F sticks from CI, as I have not tried any of the others on this list). A. I contacted Ian at Oliva, who confirmed...

    Monster Predictions

    Since the beginning of the series, Pete has said over and over again that there would be 2 Classic Monsters followed by 1 Modern monster, and that has been the case so far: Frank- Classic Dracula- Classic Face- Modern Wolfman- Classic Mummy- Classic Jason- Modern So, I would bet on a...

    Cain F lancero: no more.

    The news cannot wait until a specific day to publish. This is a real news story. We might screw with reviews on April 1st (by posting reviews we would not normally, not with the info), but we do not screw with the news on the site.

    Headley Grange problem

    The dark tobacco is usually (but not always) ligero. As for the stick in the cigar, it does happen on occasion. All of the Crowned Heads cigars I have smoke have had good to excellent construction, so as was said above, you probably just got a bad sample. I would def give them another chance...

    Tatuaje suggestions

    You can order over the phone, no problem at all. In fact, I just called, and while they are out of stock at this very moment, a new shipment has been sent from Tatuaje, and will be there today or tom most likely :) Also, something I was unaware of, the name of the cigar is now just the...

    Tatuaje suggestions

    Honestly, I think one of the most flavorful (and least talked about) Tats in the past 5 years is the WCD 120 Redux, which is now a house release for Curtis Draper. Great vitola, amazing profile when fresh or aged, decent price (perhaps a bit high for a PC) and you can buy them just about anytime...

    Tatuaje Outlaw?

    Yes, I was less than impressed with it originally, no doubt, but it has been a while, and honestly, I have not smoked one since the initial release (nor do I have any more!) so would love to know what others think about it now...

    This Guy is Capturing What we all Know

    FWIW, some Pilots often wear watches that way, so that they can easily see info on the face without having to turn their wrists while flying...my father was a Huey pilot in Vietnam, wore his watch that way (still does), and as a result that is how I wear my watches...

    Prairie Bomb beer

    Bomb is great, no doubt. Pirate bomb is the BBA version, has not been sold outside of OK yet, but rumors are that it will be sold in Texas in Jan. My pickups so far...
