    Deal too good to be true?

    Hello all. I'm a new smoker and started hanging around the local cigar lounge has humidors on the wall, all under lock and key. They offer them for a 1 year rental for $500 but with it you get 10% off all drinks and a $500 gift card to the place. Should I hop all over this?

    Busted by US Customs & Border Protection -- TWICE!

    I used to get my Cubans from a great guy in New Zealand, but somehow he fell off the face of the Earth. Then tried two other sites on the internet, and received fakes from both. Then I tried one in Switzerland a couple years ago. Two orders, two weeks apart. Both got nabbed by US Customs...

    New Box Unsealed...

    A few weeks ago, I ordered a box of Herrera Estelis from an online source. When I received the box, I noticed it was sealed in cellophane, but once that was removed, I saw the country and box seals had been cut and the box was basically unsealed. Upon opening it, it appeared the cigars were in...

    My city may hate good cheap cigars...maybe?

    This is for Houston based members (but would love to see if other areas can relate?) After receiving a Vegas 5 Gold as a good recomendation for a good inexpensive smoke. I thought I would definitely add this stick to my list of buys, but on further reflection I concluded that my B&M and most...

    Counterfeit Cohiba Esplendidos

    A very nice friend of mine brought me back a box of cigars from the DR and it was obvious to me they were fakes. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to hurt his feelings. They sort of taste like seconds you'd get in your neighborhood cigar store. Not terrible, not great. What...

    Favorite big gauge smokes

    Hey everyone, so being new both to cigars and this forum, I'm putting a feeler out there to try and drum up a "to smoke" list. Rather than search through all the various threads where people mention their favorites here and there, I wanted to ask what some good sticks are for the big ring guys...

    Swisher buying Drew Estate ?

    It appears a deal is in the works. I've only smoked a couple of low end DE cigars, so there should be no effect on my cigar choices. I smoked Swisher Sweets in my teens, two sizes of their Sabroso line (still have at least one) and would like to try the Nirvana line. Perhaps Swisher wants to get...
