Fedex and the NY Attorney general can kiss it.   That now makes Fedex my last choice as shipper. NY was already one of the last places on earth I would like to spend my money.

going to have to pull some of those out, might be getting right.   PSD4, good cigar. This box has been pretty consistent.   Drinking Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout and reflecting that it must be somewhere around now that I have twenty years in smoking premium cigars. The years fly by...

Cabaiguan Guapos 46.   As usual, delicious. Always consistently a nice smoke.

Tat Tainos followed by Jamie Garcia Hawaiian Exclusive 6x46. The JG Hawaiian remains one of the best non cc's I have ever smoked.

Love em. Smoking one right now. One of my favorite go-to's.   Had an Illusione Holy Lance Maduro a couple of days ago, always nice. A little rougher, not quite so polished but good full flavor.

Monte Cristo Desde 1935   Only non-cuban MC I have ever liked, and these things are right tasty. Took a chance and bought on auction a good while back and they were good from the start and getting even better.

well, the lighter I use the most is Jetline triple bought on cigarbid cheaply.   They always work, triple flame always lights, they are not fancy they just work.   Cheap too, particularly on auction.   I've got more than a couple of more expensive lighters that I like. And work well.   I always...

After taking time off for sinus surgery, and after that keeping my sytem clear for tests for a life insurance policy -I smoked a Cabaigun Guapos that was absolutely delicious.   Since they were installing a new hvac system and it was cooler outside in the gazebo than it was inside my house, I...

this post shows how uncertain things can be when you are pushing it in terms of temp/humidity.   My guess, and it's a guess only is that if you lower humidity you may be able to get by, but in all honesty you really need a wineador and to store things in boxes  ( which will help even out the...

looks great.   The hotter it is in summer, the more often have to refill the active water containers in the large wineador, which is a compressor unit.   The whynter, due to it being thermoelectric is a lot better but stil required more attention to the beads if house temps rose a bit.  ...

My whynter did well for years, and when the Tstat went flaky I supplemented a Johnson controls that goes inline on the ac. My whynter also would reset to 50 degrees when power went out. The Johnson unit solved that problem also.   The temperature shift seemed to play havoc with humidity - or at...

Meant to reply to this a couple of days ago and got busy.   I'm somewhat to the point that If I did it over again, I would just go with boxes and no trays. Granted, my trays were not custom, but were an  excellent fit for the 32 bottle wineador and seemed fine to me.   Has worked great in the...

Definitely will.  I do have some F-9's and Epernay Le Elegance put back. Don't know how long they will last though. Particularly the Epernay :)

You know that's a nice thought. The length is right, and a little larger RG than I usually smoke but do at times. And I like the flavor. Did a four way box split of magnum 46's last year and every one I got was plugged. Nice flavor, though. Any comment as to whether the LGC Médaille d Or No. 2 ...

I'm looking at putting some CC boxes back.   Dalia's are my preference.   The Por Larranaga Encantos is one of my all-time favorites. A little mild but very flavorful and pick up some strength midway.   Found some Médaille d Or No. 2 available at the moment, haven't really seen other Dalia's...

Things often swing down and then swing back up higher. Rarely a straight line.   Here's hoping things are about to swing back up higher!   Hope all is well and turning your way.

the above post is one of the things I love about this place. We get a wide variety of posters, and breadth of knowledge here.   Great post groucho!

Actually, I am more concerned about potentially diminishing quality, instability of brands and market turmoil.   I understand that the US is by far the largest cigar market in the world. If you suddenly open up to a huge market, there is only so much quality tobacco to go around. I do not...

It appears that normalization is coming.   I have seen references to the effect that Cuba imports something like 30% of their tobacco.   The US is the largest cigar market in the world, and I expect that in an attempt to fill the demand, quality will go down and prices will go up.    I recently...

 I had a shipment of several boxes that sat in customs so long that I contacted the vendor who said he would refund or reship. I said I would give them another couple of days because there were a number of shipments delayed around that time. They came in the next day.   They were a _long_ time...
