Cigar side effects
I've been trying out cigar smoking, about one a week, and I've had mixed success. I started with a Montechristo White in Churchill length and got a headache and nausea. Then I had a Padron 1964 natural Diplomatico and got the headaches. I had a Oliva Serie V torpedo and got headaches and a shaky feeling and I had to lie… -
Recommendation for a new palate
Friends, I am relatively new to cigars and am looking for some recommendations. I have smoked irregularly for about 6 months now. I have gravitated to the mild to mild-medium cigars. Thus far, my favorites are Rocky Patel Connecticut, 5 Vegas Gold, Cusano 18, and basically all that comprise the Mild Sampler offered through… -
correct humidity, but dry sticks.
i have a humidor about the size of a shoebox. it has a top tray, and a glass top. the analog hygrometer is innacurate, so i bought one thats digital, and can be calibrated. i calibrated it in a ziplock overnight with damp salt in a bowl. the humi has heartfelt beads in the round 3" container they came in. 70% version, and… -

AF #77 Shark - Review
Here is my noobie review of the AF #77 Shark I had last night. Marker was also smoking a #55, which we dubbed "The Barracuda"...both of us were very impressed.

Review: San Lotano Habano
San Lotano Habano 6.5 x 54 Torpedo Pre-light aroma is of sweet hay and gives the nose a tingle when inhaled through the nose deeply. This habano's wrapper is an oily dark brown, but far from the deep brown-black of it's maduro cousin. I double-guillotined the cap, creating a head slightly more narrow than the main stick… -
