    Aged Yorktown Yummy

    I bought a couple ounces of bulk Yorktown in 2019 and sort of forgot about it. I must say it's really evolved into something quite nice. It's got some depth to it from the reds but the star of the show is the naturally sweet and tart bright virginias. Being in the same jar for a few years has...

    AJ Fernandez

    If I had to pick one desert island blender it would have to be AJF. There must be dozens of brands with his name attached to them yet somehow he maintains one of the best quality control standards in the industry. I mean you can pretty much guarantee a properly rolled flavor bomb on anything...

    Fake Cubans Sold By Popular Retailer

    I never got big into cubans but I almost bought some from this retailer. If it affected them I'm sure its probably more widespread to other retailers. https://cigarpublic.com/2022/09/28/montefortuna-confirmed-to-have-sold-counterfeit-cuban-cigars/

    Review of Smoking Pipes Reviews

    Title edited. There I said what everyone already knows. Still my favorite online distributor though.... They should only allow verified purchashers to review products.

    Cellophane

    I know its been debated around the internet but Im wondering what you guys think. Ive always left the cellophane on because I tend to fiddle around with them in my humidor. And some tend to sit for a year or more before I smoke them. But I read an article that if you're aging them you should...

    Eight State Burley New Impressions

    The is for the 1st release of ESB from last year, I haven't bought the new one yet although I fully intend to now that I have a new appreciation for the blend. When I first tried the blend last year, my thoughts on it were kind of meh, which I admit often happens with my first impressions. I...

    Meerschaum Filter Tenon Repair

    The 9mm tenon doesn't screw in to the shank anymore, Im wondering if I can glue it back in. Can I use super glue or is there a better way to do this?

    Stoved and Unstoved Virginias

    You always hear about "stoved and unstoved virginias" in reviews and tin descriptions. What exactly does it mean?

    Tight Draws

    I believe a prerequisite for any good cigar is a nice easy draw that produces alot of smoke. If its like sucking on a milkshake then its pretty much worthless IMO. It gets bitter real quick. Can you tell if a cigar is going to have a tight draw before you even light it? Like if it feels really...

    How To Reduce Humidity Level?

    I live in south Mississippi where the average humidity is in 80's. Inside the house it averages around 71%. I have a 100 count humidor and even with 6 ea. 60 gram boveda 65% packs the humidor rarely gets below 69, and usually stays around 70, basically room humidity. Removing the Bovedas seems...

    When Will Car Prices Come Down?

    I was looking at buying a car for my teenage daughter, but given how high new and used prices are right now I might wait until next year. My budget is $11k and I dont like what Im seeing right now. I thought about giving her our 2017 Camry that I owe 11k on and getting a new one but new prices...

    Do you guys smoke it as its presented or do you dry it out substantially? Or something in between? Looking for a balance between flavor and good burn characteristics. I know the best answer is to expirement and see what works best but Im just curious as to what others have found out thru experience.

    Any Crypto Investors (Gamblers)?

    I recently splurged a little on bitcoin, ethereum and cardano (thanks stimi), but with these new insane capital gains tax proposals Im a little hesitant. On a side note I bought my first bitcoin back in 2013 for $27. Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to hold it long enough to reap the rewards...

    One Year Old Margate With Plume

    Whatever the dark tobacco is it appears to have some crystallization. It looks like its the latakia but Im not sure. I believe its from 2020 the date code is 1089D121MAR. Got it at a local B&M late last year. Its goooood!

    Aged Artisans Blend W/Syrian

    I busted open some 14 year old Ashton Artisans Blend with Syrian latakia that I got from pipestud. So far the oldest blend Ive had yet. Its definitely not a disappointment thats for sure, in fact its quite good. Very dark, deep, smooth, and well balanced, all of the components married together...

    FVF Flake - Tin vs Bulk

    Is there a difference between FVF in the tin and that which comes in the 250g box? Like is the tinned version actually smokeable even after a full day of drying?
