A gentleman by the name of Larry, (I don't his his last name yet), opened a cigar lounge about 1/4 mile from my office. I noticed the sign today, "Cigar Lounge Now Open"... and of course, had to stop in and check it out. It is BEAUTIFUL. It's huge, with pool tables, and several nice seating...

Went up to my local cigar shop to have a smoke this morning... they want you to buy a cigar if you are going to smoke there. No room in the humidor, so obviously I needed to scan their tobacco selection... which is wanting but OK sometimes. They had three 100g tins of Symphony on closeout for...

My brother bought this in Oklahoma in the late 80's or early 90's and gave it to me. Smokes nice, but I know nothing about who made it... hopefully my phone pictures will be sharp enough... if not, I can try again... the stamping is a carving of a pipe, and it looks like a RC possibly... anyone??

I'm new here, and have only been to the Chicago show once... but, since I live here, I have blocked off the entire weekend, and will not be working, as I usually do. So, if anyone needs a ride from the airport to a hotel, or from their hotel to the show... I smoke in my car. Just let me know...

Hello all; I found this site while searching on GBD's... who knew. Excellent, and I'm happy to be here. I have been smoking pipes for about 37 years. I have had a few periods where I set them aside... and went through a cigar phase. A few months ago, while obsessing about my cigars, especially...
