    Kopp to Handle "Worldwide Distribution" of HU Tobaccos

    I just saw this on FB. From following Hans I have learned that the translations don’t make sense. But is he saying these blends are going to be discontinued?

    Broken Pipe? Art Ruppelt (Ming Kahuna)

    I had the pleasure of having a table close to Art at a Richmond show around 2008-ish and got to know him throughout the weekend. I was working for a retailer he didn’t really care for, but by the end of the weekend he gave me one of his tampers as a friendly gesture for our weekend of...

    Synjeco

    Highly recommended. My last order was about two years ago and was an easy process. I also purchased quite a bit from him in the early 2000’s and never had an issue. Not sure if anything has changed since my last order due to international shipping. I talked to him a few times on the phone and...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? - 2022

    Enjoying a 2010 Partagas 898 that is like smoking silk. No rough edges, barely any Partagas spice but a smoothness that comes from aged tobacco. I have been contemplating selling some of my aged cigars, but this is one box I would never sell. As I near the halfway point, that classic Partagas...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? - 2022

    Dug out a box of RyJ Cazadores from 2012. The first third started a little rough, but transitioned into a smooth, stone fruit/cherry RyJ profile but with plenty of strength. These have had a nice flavor evolution since getting this box 10 years ago. I probably wasted half the box smoking them...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? - 2022

    A 2010 Cuaba Divino on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. I haven’t smoked from this box in years but I remember being underwhelmed. I’m still waiting for that Cuaba Peanut Butter flavor to show up, but so far it’s a good smoke.

    What Cigar are You Smoking? - 2022

    Slowly going through some of my aged cigars/boxes. A 2010 HDM No.2. When I got these in 2010 the cab was busted up in shipping so I put them in another box. Years later I read that this box code was legendary, but never wrote down the code. The last one I smoked was one of the best cigars I have...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? - 2022

    An original release, I think 2011 H. Upmann Half Corona. After 11 years of aging this was a pretty potent cigar with great Upmann flavors. Went through a newer box years ago and thought they were good, but this box is a lot better.

    Morning Warped Cloud Hopper and ice coffee. I’m a big Warped fan and have been smoking a lot of these. For the price they are hard to beat and they come in 50 count boxes.

    What Cigar are You Smoking? - 2022

    Found my box of H.Upmann Mag 48’s this morning and decided to light one up with my smoking companion. Started a little flat but the flavors really opened up after the first inch. These were great when I got them in 2009 and have gotten better. With the price of Cuban cigars now, I’m hesitant to...

    Habanos

    I was fortunate enough to heavily stock up on Cubans from around 2007-2014, before marriage and kids ?. I’m glad I did. I remember the small price increases then seemed horrible, even before this latest price increase prices are crazy. As an example the last time I purchased a 24 count box of...

    Tell Me about Sutliff Match Victorian

    It’s a great blend for the price. It’s very good right out of the bag, but I tend to smoke it more often when it has a few months to a year of age. In my opinion it has a fuller body and flavor than the modern Dunhill/Peterson Elizabethan.

    FVF - Too Much Age?

    I would let it rest a few days in the original tin (then transfer to a mason jar). If you just opened it and smoked a bowl right away and didn’t get any flavor, from my experience, the tobacco needs some time to open up. I’ve had this happen a lot, and most of the time the tobacco just needed to...

    RIP Taylor Hawkins

    Outstanding drummer. RIP.

    Question Re: G&H/Synjeco Ropes

    As soon as I looked at your avatar this morning it took me right back to being a kid watching the Last Star Fighter in the movie theater.

    Organic Tobacco

    I still have a few tins left of OGF. It was a fantastic tobacco. I cracked a tin about two years ago and enjoyed it.

    Mauro Armellini Pipe Appreciation

    My first pipe was an Armellini I purchased in the 90’s. I still smoke it to this day and everything I pack in it smokes great. I ended up with 6 of them and they all smoked great, but over the years I sold them or gave them away to friends but always kept my first pipe. Agree 100% with...

    What Cigar are You Smoking?

    I’ve been on a Warped kick for a few months and every cigar has been excellent. I love the fruity, baking spice character of their cigars. I have a bunch of aged Cubans I haven’t touched this entire time. Today I grabbed my only Flor Del Valle and I have to say I’m a little disappointed. It’s a...

    Watch City's "Rouxgaroux" In-Stock

    I logged into my account around 11:50am just to get ready and was able to purchase some. I had some in my cart last Halloween and didn’t place the order and regretted it. Glad I will have some to smoke and some to age.
