PRIVATE STOCK!!!!!!!!!!

Made by Davidoff. SO very creamy, smooth, consistent, great construction and has a somewhat sweet-like, roasted nut undertone. And INEXPENSIVE!!! I highly recommend it.

Any recommendations?

What happens when Fidel dies?

2008-02-21T18:49:26Z

Will his brother run a similar regime? Will the States drop the embargo after some talks? How will it change the way Americans view Cuban tobacco?

Hard to say. But I wanted to share a cool story about a little old Cuban lady that stopped by my store earlier this week.

A super lovely older Cuban lady stopped by the store this week. She started off with how seeing cigars sparked a memory of her father from her childhood in Cuba and how he always had one in his mouth.

Then she went on to tell me that supposedly Fidel is very ill... his brother will more than likely take control soon thereafter his death... and there may have already been some talk that he (the brother) initiated w/ the States that so far, resulted in nothing.

She also mentioned that due to Fidel's hunger for power and money he apparently did something to the sugar and cigar plantations and farms that had a long-term effect on the soil and the quality of the crops. Sadly the end results are not what they were about 20-some years ago. With all the crazy weather fluctuations over the past few years, with all the hurricanes and storms, the crops have suffered quite a bit and Fidel didn't prepare the country properly for the changes and tried to save money by NOT preparing. While he supposedly has millions in the reported bank accounts (there are several that are NOT reported) the country, the people, and the sugar and tobacco industries suffer.

Also, it was interesting to hear that with all her travels and living in the states for more than half her life she too has noticed that the type of Cuban that's emmigrating to the States is a completely different breed than what they were back in her day. Back in her day when she came with her family, they had to work hard, just like my parents and grandparents did when we emmigrated from Russia, to build from scratch and become who we are today. The type of Cubans coming now are the same as the larger portion of the Russian emmigres is this past decade, they are coming here with unreasonable expectations and to be served on a silver platter. I realize this has nothing to do w/ the embargo, just thought it was interesting that a country that is so poor in every aspect and a people that are so persecuted and oppressed are that unreasonable upon arriving to the land of the free. It would make more sense that they had NO expectations and built a life for themselves like our families did.

Another off-topic note... she mentioned that if ever in Cuba, possibly the BEST beach in the world to visit is "VARADERO BEACH".

Super cool lady, so glad I had a chance to meet her. I offered her a cigar, but she smiled, laughed, and said that her father would've liked one, but she'll graciously decline.

home made

2008-02-05T21:28:01Z

for chuckles i grew some tobacco in my garden this past year. I wanted to try rolling my own cigars. The varieties of tobacco i got were: Virginia, Havana, Short Stalk, and Montero (M something, i think montero). After drying the leaves they were fermented/cured in a kiln and two weekends ago i rolled about 20 cigars. Its a fairly easy thing to do, but difficult to master, so my cigars look more like dog turds than fine smokes. They've been pressed and wrapped and are now in my humidor getting to proper humidity. Figure a week or so till i can light one up.

I know its not something we really discuss here, but growing your own tobacco is suprisingly easy and can be done in a 5 gallon bucket on your balcony. I highly recommend it to all enjoyers of the smoke.

Strong Cigars

2008-01-16T19:25:53Z

I really enjoy the Dark Wrapper/Really Strong-flavor type cigars
One of my Favorites is without a doubt the La Gloria Cubana Series R (The Dark Ones)
I like the taste, the flavor and the (sometimes) really heady feel I get from smoking them too

What other really strong Cigars do you recommend I try?

Cigar Press

2007-11-27T18:25:23Z

It's here! Got the first issue of the free, new, cigar mag called "Cigar Press." Anyone else heard, read or will be carrying them? It's quite informative actually. The taste tests are done by anyone who subscribes(ed) to carry their mag. There's a great page at the back of it w/ some great commentary from readers as well as some cigar humor that had me cracking up. It's a much more thourough read than Aficionado ever was or will be. I'm impressed!

Sidenote: Ben, thought you might get a kick out of it, our buddy, J.Fuego, has a couple of huge full-age ads in this edition.

New Cigar Tax

2007-09-27T18:11:19Z

Currently before the United States Senate is a proposal to fund health insurance on the backs of tobacco products to the tune of $35 billion (that's Billion with a B). Most egregious is the proposed tax rate on cigars of 53.1%, including a breathtaking 20,400% increase in the cap. This would make handmade cigars - a true mom-and-pop industry, a product enjoyed by choice an average 3 times per week - the single largest excise taxed item in the entire Internal Revenue Code....by a long shot.

This piece of legislation is called SCHIP (State Childrens Health Insurance Plan). Tonight this bill is being marked up in the Senate Finance Committee and is expected to come to the Senate floor for a vote as early as end of week. We urge you to call both of your U.S. Senators today and express your opposition to funding "SCHIP legislation" with punitive cigar taxes. As a constituent your voice will be heard. Please see phone numbers below for your Senators.

Sincerely,

Keith Meier

Whats your favorite smoke?

2007-08-17T17:33:59Z

.... but more importantly, why? what is it about that particular cigar that you joy so much?

Personally, the status of 'favorite' gets moved around quite a bit because my tastes change on a whim almost. Currently, my favorite is the J Fuego Robusto Natural. For me, it is simply the best 'natural' wrapper cigar Ive ever had. t is smooth and unassuming. Flavorful with some depth and actually has a small twinge of strength without souring. so, I have been lucky enough to meet the man and ge drunk with him and it always reminds of those times.

Thompson Cigars. Anybody know 'em?

2007-07-28T17:28:55Z

I got a catalog from these guys located in Tampa for Mail Order Cigars. The brands are all ones I've heard of, and the ratings quoted all check out, but the prices are incredibly low. This, of course makes me wonder. I'd love to be able to order good smokes in the mail, the convenience factor alone would be incredible, but I'm always leery of the "Incredible Savings" offerred. Anyway, let me know if you've dealt with them and how it worked out for you. Thanks! ~Jay

Cigar Etiquette

2006-11-29T18:45:15Z

1) If you know you will be in company that may possibly smoke one do you HAVE to bring along enough for everyone? Or do you just bring a couple in hopes that no one else will be offended that you only have 2?

2) Did you know that you aren't supposed to stomp a cigar out like you do with cigarettes, just leave it facing down to burn out on its own. (otherwise it creates an offensive smell when stomped out)

Share other tips on etiquette.

The Drew Estate Acid Five Limited Edition

2006-09-19T17:56:44Z

Acid just recently came out with a new cigar called the Five. It comes in ether robusto or toro and wrapped in a nice maduro wrapper. It's a little pricey but a wonderful smoke. The cigars have all been aged for five years before shipment.

Most people seem to be put of by the flavored cigars for one reason or another but the Five not too strong. It's a mild smoke, especially for a maduro rapper. It smokes well which is a credit to it's construction.

I highly recommend these. I've had to stop smoking them because I was smoking several every time I had a chance, and that's a big drain on the pocketbook. :-)

Are their Real Cubans outside of Cuba

2005-01-04T17:15:02Z

So you can spend $25 for a "Cuban" cigar in the US. You can spend $15 for the same cigar in downtown Guatemala City. But is it really a Cuban? I was reading Cigar Afficianado and they claim 90% of the cigars branded and priced as Cubans outside of Cuba are fakes. Any thoughts beyond the label and the seal on the box?

Hi everyone,

I've started another tribe called Luxury & Upscale Niche Marketing. I'm trying to assemble business owners who market luxury products like cigars, wine, villas, etc. to an upscale market.
If you are a cigar affecionados(spelling?)you are more than welcome to join, as I am interested(as other luxury service providers) in improving my services to meet your needs. In fact, cigar smokers tend to enjoy the "good life" so I can learn a lot from you. If you're in the mood to "school" upscale niche marketeers, our tribe is a perfect fit.
Join us at luxuryservices.tribe.net

Thanks.

OK, I'm less than thrilled at the moment, about 1/3 of the way through with a C.A.O. "eXtreme", the gauge is much too wide for my mouth (and it appears to be a normal gauge, 40ish), and it's too easy to draw on it. What a disappointment. At least it burns evenly.

Weekly Tasting

2004-03-06T03:03:17Z

So to sample the wares of my local smokeshop, but not be financially reduced to eating only top ramen, I've decided to limit my spending to about $20 bucks a week and try a Premium ($7-$12), an Everyday smoke ($5-$7) and a lower end smoke ($3-$5). I must preclude this with a disclaimer stating that I like flavored cigars. Anyway, this weeks selections are.
Drew Estate Acid Kuba Kuba $7.49
Punch $4.99
Helix Maduro $3.79
and my shop owner threw in a Heaven petite honey nut. I've tried the vanilla and loved it, so I'm looking forward to this one.
I'll let you know how these smoke as I enjoy them. Also if you have an suggestions, observations or recomendations, lets hear it!

Acids

2004-03-05T05:56:26Z

Last night I tried the "Starmonkey" from Acid (Drew Estate). If you like your cigars infused with spices, Acids are the ones to experiment with. I highly enjoyed Starmonkey, and look forward to smoking the "Kong Cameroon" this weekend.

I bought a Cohiba double-guillotine cutter this weekend, and have never been happier with a cutter like I am with this one. It has a wall that your cigar tip hits, so it basically measures the exact amount that gets cut. It's a perfect cut. It's an inexpensive black, plastic cutter, with the Cohiba (in yellow/black/white) label on the back side of it.

everyone should add a picture of their stocked humidor to the photo gallery. Just an idea. I'd like to see what you all have.

I work at a tobacco shop in the solono mall called John T's...
Has anybody else had the Pinar 3000's? Their pre-embargo cuban tobacco cigars, basically 50 year old cubans...They are probably one of the best maduro's I've had in a while.
I also like Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Maduro's,and Chateau Fuente, Padron's 1964 Ann. Series Pyramids, Trilogy's Native Camaroon Toro's, ect...

Also, their is a brand called Iguana Cigar's, has anyone tryed them? Trying to convince my boss to carry some, but I want to try their Claro wrap....

Miraflor

I just got ahold of some Miraflors from Nicaragua. Torpedoes, very nice smoke. Cuban seed tobacco, very smooth long leaf smoke, check 'em out if you get a chance. I get Cubans on occassion since I'm fortunate enough to be able to travel overseas regularly on business, and I'd say that these compare favourably to the cuban torpedoes that I've smoked. There were from the 98 crop.

for discount savings, go to....

I know Jay is leary of deep discounts, and I can't vouch for the Co. he's ordering from, but I can vouch for - mydiscountcigar.com - (my brother and his wife run it).

They have lower prices than most retailers (almost 60% off of retail price), and a HUGE selection of cigars, lighters, humidors, cutters/punchers, other tobacco, knives, and other related inventory.

Check it out :-)

Cigars.

Love 'em. I have a dream that some day I'll be able to open a little cigar shop here in San Francisco and spend my days writing there and attending to business when it needs it.
