    B&M Etiquette --- Should I squeeze the Cigars??

    I recently found myself in healthy debate as to whether or not you should GENTLY squeeze a cigar in a B&M store to determine whether it has been kept at proper humidity. Some people said it was in poor taste and you cant determine the humidity that way anyhow. I felt like this is similar to...

    Another Newbie Question

    OK I have read some of you talking about Padron cigars, my question is which one/type would you recommend, I am always looking for new smokes and after doing some looking I would like to give them a shot, I was more into the mild/medium cigars for a bit but am finding that I like the full side...

    When trying a new cigar, how many do you buy ?

    I usually buy five or more, but if you don't like the cigar that means you have four more to get rid of. Lately, I've been buying singles or two or three unless the price is attractive for a larger amount(usually a recommended cigar). So what do you do or recommend ?

    Victor Sinclair -do they make anything good ?

    I've tried a few, one even was pretty fancy with a blue ribbon. Wouldn't buy any I tried again tho. I spotted an old thread that had nice things to say about the Bohemians.

    Preferred cutting method

    I am just curious if you have a preferred cutting method. I have been doing one for the past few months that's pretty enjoyable to me. I use my Opinel No. 8 knife and do a criss-cross cut that opens up like a double v of sorts. Here's an image:

    Cigar smart phone apps

    Sitting on my cigar patio smoking, I decided to see if there were any good apps to download. I just found two that look cool. Cigar dojo and cigar boss. I downloaded them and am kinda playing with them now. Cigar boss has a cigar encyclopedia similiar to Perelmans. I used to live the Perelman...

    How many cigars have you smoked??

    I have kept a spreadsheet of almost every cigar I have smoked since 2007, and the grand total is 797. Not bad for a guy that can only really smoke 9 months of the year. (The other three are just to darn cold, and I cannot smoke in the house).

    Gurkhas

    Some love them, some don't. I had my first about a year and a half ago with European Selection churchills. I liked the CT better than the Habano but not enough to become a Gurkha fanatic. Then I got a few deals on other Gurkha's like the Monogram, Copper Label and Crest- all pretty good cigars...
