    He may can handle me cause I'm old and broken down. But I promise you that the black humongus is more than he wants. A lot more. Trust me on this one brother Apple. He can literally clean a bar out by himself. And not by farting.

    Wow! Maybe I'll just sit back, drink beer, and watch the show.

    Why would hitting a 50 year old partially paralyzed man make you feel tingly?

    I'm a big Rocky Patel fan, particularly the Connecticut Vintage 99. Oliva also makes some good smokes.

    Try the Oliva V when you're feeling adventurous. Just smoke it slow, it'll give you a buzz.

    I just wonder how many people @hapster‌ has corrupted with pictures of sticks and drink. Not just talking forum members either. There's probably twice as many people following the forum that just don't participate in all he hoopla. Now @hapster‌ has upped his game by posting slo-mo videos smoking cigars. It looks cool and all, but I'll just stick to trying to emulating his cooks and pics. @MeTed‌, enjoy your venture of becoming an expert cigar guy. Even though it's not for me, I'll probably still follow the threads. B-)

    @SGH, You ought to try chewing some pipe tobacco.  Its moist and is sweeter to the smell and taste.  I enjoy both a good cigar or pipe to relax to.

    Try some boutique brands.  There are  a lot of great companies making smaller quality run cigars.  I am a big fan of Viaje, Tatuaje and Alec Bradley.  You can't go wrong with Padron.  Their anniversary's are always great.  
    +1 on Xikar.  Quality stuff and they back all of their products.
    As you get more into cigars, pick up a table torch lighter.  You can get nice ones for <$90.  They do a great job of getting the cigar going and you will not have to keep re-filling the fluid every three days.
    Google search Cigar Aficionado top 25 cigars and you will get a list of great cigars.  Some are cuban but not all of them.  There are some affordable sticks on there and I have never been disappointed with the ones I have tried.

    Anyone tried any of the Romacraft sticks that seem to be the craze these days? I can't get 'em locally and not sure if I should bite the bullet and order a sampler.

    It is a Wineador, a wine cooler converted to a humidor. Guy online makes custom shelf kits + a couple pounds of heartfelt beads and you have a nice large capacity humidor that will also regulate temps. 

    I smoke a lot of Drew Estate brands, Liga Privada, MUWAT, Herrera Esteli, KFC...... with the Herrera Esteli's being my favorite for NC cigars usually in a Petit Corona. For CC's I like small vitolas so my go to's are Cohiba Siglo II's and Montecristo #4's.

    It is a "Stinky" brand ashtray. Got it on ebay for $26. Color was Forest Green, closest I could get to egg color.

    To those looking to add a humidor.

    Please look into a wineador. It is a wine cooler that is thermoelecrically temp controlled (not a compressor) which you can repurpose for a cigar humidor.

    I have made mine out of a 28 bottle wine cooler and is spot on. Ask if you need more info. Or check this thread where I got my info awhile back. You will get the ideas and take it from there. Works great with almost no intervention. I have cigars in there from the day my daughter was born looking perfect. She is 16 now.
