Blazer PB-207. My first one lasted 11 years before slowly losing flame intensity. It still sort of works, just doesn't burn as intensely. I'm now on my second and I expect to get another decade out of this as long as it is fed a diet of Vector quint-refined butane. Wilkey

Uh uh. Greg is the undisputed KING of cigar reviews here at CP. :cool: This is a man who truly loves cigars and the process of reviewing and writing. This thread and the body of work it represents is most sticky-worthy! Well done, sir. Your dedication to the craft and to CigarPass is greatly...

Thank you much, Jake! Right now I use the lid from a jar of spaghetti sauce and an empty plastic flower pot. Anything has got to be a step up from these. :p Wilkey

Knowing Matt, I believe he was just yanking my chain. :p Wilkey

Chyeah...I'll pass. :p Unless you send me a full can. ;) Wilkey

Roger that, Tim. I'll get your package out on Wednesday. Please PM me your address, bro. Wilkey PS. It's good to be back. I appreciate every re-welcome I've received. :thumbs:

I agree. I've also found that aged cigars require a different technique. Because they have mellowed out somewhat, you can nose smoke them much more readily. I will say that while the raw pepper blast might be tamed, if there is strength in the stick, the strength will still be there for the most...

Tim, I've got you on the Reserva SW and Cohiba LE (2006 Piramides). Let me know if this is ok for you. As for my wish, I sure could use an ashtray. Nothing fancy, just a functional cigar ashtray with nice rests and a good capacity. Wilkey

I've had the great good fortune of having been given a selection of well-aged NC cigars to sample. I've begun smoking through them and will post reviews when I have a bunch done. I will say that, as with Cuban cigars, some weather the years better than others. As for buying 2 or 3 boxes of...

Well said. You have my support, Rod. Always did. Always will. Wilkey

"Bunching" in this case refers to the appearance of the cut tobacco at the foot of the cigar. More generally, "bunching" refers to the process of forming a loose bundle of filler leaves so that it can be wrapped in binder leaf/leaves prior to pressing in molds. I'm not exactly sure what folks...

Happy birthday, Doc! Wilkey

Second on that. I'm back and ready to play. Wilkey

Hey there Uga, Couple of nice pickups there. As to which smoke better young, before 2000, neither of them really showed their full potential early on. But in the last few years, the Choix Supreme has typically become the more approachable ROTT (right off the truck). I just finished a box of...

Thanks for sharing the post, Mark. I will be looking forward to a few of these if they do in fact hit the market. Wilkey

Guys, I'm signing off for a few weeks at least and I didn't want it to seem like I just disappeared. I'll be turning off PMs (so my mailbox doesn't jam up) but you can reach me via the CigarPass email contact system if it's urgent. Wilkey

Israel, Thank you for dropping in on this thread. I'm happy with my cigars in a different box but those who want to store them in their original packaging should do as you say. Wilkey

Good question. I think it might be worth dropping an email to Padron. I moved my 80ths to a different box but that was a while ago and for a different reason. Wilkey

Nice. Very nice. Wilkey

I understood you fine. This is not what I was speaking to and if you read what I wrote, you would have comprehended that. And I told you that I thought your idea was insufficient for handling the problems that might arise. Instead of hitting back with a snide little crack like that, why not...
