    Perfecto Perfection

    The burn is impeccable but also the balance. I find them rich and full but not in a way that doesn’t leave me yearning for another puff. And you can push them pretty hard but they don’t get harsh or tar up. Even the ash on them looks unique.

    G.L. Pease: Silver Jubilee

    Allocated. In bourbon it means what DonutL said, plus in my state the consumer has to get drawn in a raffle to buy it from a store that moves enough base/flagship product to receive the allocated stuff. Too much hoopla for me.

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    It’s hard for me to justify purchasing more tobacco or pipes. Matches were the only part of the hobby that I could conceive running dry on. Until today

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    They seem very Similar. But honestly I cannot tell any big difference between all the Toscano offerings, including the barrel aged series. I like the flavor of them all but am done with all Italian dark fired cigars. I have decided that they’re priced too high, rolled way too tight and need...

    I remember Jamesway, Hechinger’s and Kmart bluelight specials. 50 cent candy bars and 25 cent stamps and a GIJOE was $1.67 @ Toys R Us

    Taking My Leave

    Our resident contrarian is departing us. I’ve enjoyed sparring with you and learning from you. I think you’ll enjoy being unplugged, and hope you do. May God bring you peace and comfort. I will probably always think about you every time I smoke this huge pipe that I ordered without first...

    Everyday Cigar

    I’ve only heard of seconds from RP. But apparently their first selections have such a high standard that their seconds are very good. RP seconds are atypical seconds due to their high quality. They’re more akin to an overrun from what I read.

    Everyday Cigar

    @Brad H seconds/mistakes are what they sound like. overruns are what you want. overruns are just cigars produced under contract but they made a few too many, so they can’t sell them as the label they were made for but they can sell them unlabeled for less. I assume this happens in-house...
