Re: Whatcha smokin this afternoon??
Smoking a Room 101 Serie SA while walking the dogs.
I dug around my office to find my Cigar Holdster purchased in 2018 for the dog walk, this is a product that didn't really take off, but it worked OK for me today. I was able to get a drink of water and also pick up the dog dirt when necessary while the cigar rested in the holdster. When I got home it was hard to get the corona sized cigar, smoked down to the last third, out of the holdster without taking it off and inverting it. Probably would not buy again, if I could. I removed the swivel clip from the holdster.

Maybe for those who cellar in mason jars.
Many inexpensive options on Amazon, e.t.c.

I’ve been branching out and trying a few of the mfs( and loving them) but the blue seems to always be out of stock
Yeah, I get it. That can be frustrating. I like the Blues, but if I had to choose between these and the straight-up My Father My Father, I'd pick the latter in the No.1 vitola 9 times out of 10. Give those a try if you get a chance.

Re: THE NEWBIE WELCOMING THREAD
So responding to some of your questions, I find a beauty in cigars from all around. I have found great cigars from Nicaragua, Honduras, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, even the US with JC Newman. I haven’t tried too many budget cigars, mostly because I think I just have an expensive pallet which sucks because I enjoy cigars so much. As for the cigars I have tried, the list is very long, but my favorites would have to be, Rocky Patel white label, Diamond Crown, Montecristo #2 (Cuba) Cohiba Siglo, Ave Maria Reconquista, Zino platinum grand master series, Montecristo Espada, all Davidoff cigars, Partegas (Cuba) Graycliff espresso and the 10 year and 30 year vintage, AF Hemingway, rare pink, casa Cuba, opus X, Don Carlos, Red Anchor, Gurkha cellar reserve 12-21 year, Guerkha beauty, titan, dragon, signature. Cohiba Connecticut, Nicaragua, red dot. That’s all I can really think of at the moment although I’ve tried many others.
Ones I don’t like so far are the Rocky Patel
disciple, Tatuje, Padrón, some My Fathers, punch, brick house, Don Raphael.
My favorite flavors are a smooth and creamy note. By far, the farm smell and flavor of some Cubans is something that can never be replaced for me, but I always pair my cigars with a strong coffee, or a glass of bourbon. If
I’m smoking a Cuban then I pair it with Rum. I have done a lot of research on a lot of Cigars about their flavor profiles, and where they came from and how the tobacco is grown. I also research the quality based on the construction of the Cigars and reviews on their flavor profiles and their burn. I even check to see all the ratings the cigars have.

The only problem I have is having to count posts while scrolling up to the first unread one. IPhone 16.Did you try the address bar trick where you click on the address bar to highlight the link and then hit enter to jump to the lastest message? I haven't tried it on iPhone but it works on Android and PC and saves me counting backwards.
I have tried it and it doesn't seem to work on iPhone at least with Safari browser. I have also just been scrolling back up when on phone.
Re: Pipes looking new
Pipe cleaning cloths are impregnated with silicon or wax or something and help restore the shine to natural finished briar pipes.
Getting the lava off the rim can be as simple as spit on your thumb and rubbing the rim, Murphy's Oil Soap helps for extreme cases.
Lava is from burnt tobacco over the rim and even the smoke from your pipe will discolor the rim, char is from hitting the rim with the flame from your lighter.

If you know this little about cigars…why would you spend so much on those two boxes??? Never mind the over priced humidor?Who said I know very little?.. been smoking cigars and pipes over 30 years... just haven't bought many sealed boxes, much less very expensive ones that I don't plan to smoke right away and maybe age.
As for why I bought an "over priced" humidor ... you get what you pay for in this world.. I've had a dunhill box for 10 years (made by Elie Bleu) and it sealed like a Tupperware but has solid wood interior that keeps my cigars amazingly fresh for daily smoking... And more over, I can afford it, don't hate.
No hate, just a serious question. Still a valid one at that. You came and asked the question so I asked one in return. I’m glad you can afford it lol…maybe you can afford to do a little research for yourself if your áss is going to get chapped when someone asks you a question in return.
dude that is LITERALLY what I am doing here.... research. I've seen all the YouTube video on the topic .. now checking to see what folks are doing here.
You go boy. Don't take no crap off of no one. But if you're researching on this forum, you're going to find out but the correct way to do it is to put the boxes in your igloo cooler with boveda.
But when they do, they leave them in the box in the cellophane. Cellophane is a wood-based product and it is moisture permeable.

Re: Pipes looking new
It can also happen from overfilling your pipe. As the smoke billows out tar and other things come with it. If the tobacco is packed right up to the rim that tar and stuff will just roll out onto it. Easiest way I’ve found to tell if it’s tar, and to remove it, it just use a little alcohol on a rag.
