    Fifth Annual Spring Forward Box Pass

    Well I had a blast with the box, but it's time for it to head out. I sampled a ton (enough to toast my tongue), and noted a few in the book. I really liked the Peter Hienrich's #312, and the Maduro cut cake(I really can't wait until that comes out) again. I took the GLPease Montgomery, and...

    The Dark Side!!

    I'll second what Justpipes said, Troutstream is a good aro. Of course I'm an unabashed aro (also) smoker, so I'm partly heathen. :D I like MacBaren- Honey & Chocolate, PS Royal Guard Rum, and Bjarnes - The Special One to name a few.

    The Professor's Pipe-Sweetening Treatment

    I have used both salth, and cotton balls. Personally I found salt to be much better at leeching out the tars; as evident by much darker salt, then the cotton balls got. I have never had any problems with either method (about 50 pipes with salt, and 10 with cotton ball). That said, I have heard...

    My new Downie

    Yeah Paul, that was I pipe I commissioned last fall. At this point I think he is somewhere around 6+ months back on commissions. Of course that is just my guess, so if your interested in a pipe from him, your probably best e-mailing him to find out.

    Good Cheap Cigars

    I am right there with you! I think I created my account somewhere in January, and have had 3 shipments so far. I've been mostly bottom feeding so far, but still that can get expensive. No pending though, I had to stop purchasing until I have paid for my commission from Stephen.

    Fifth Annual Spring Forward Box Pass

    Well, I brought the box into work today to send it out; unfortunatly, when I got here, I noticed that I had forgotten the books at home. I apologize for the delay, but I will get it out bright and early in the morning. On the upside I had the opportunity to try the Dominican Glory, and that is...

    Fifth Annual Spring Forward Box Pass

    I've been working my way through a good number of samples, and have had more hits then misses, so that is all good. The Maltese falcon is good, I've sort of burned myself out on latakia blends lately, so I couldn't enjoy it as much as I will when I open my tins in a couple months...but man that...

    Fifth Annual Spring Forward Box Pass

    Sure thing Mike. I have been trying out a few different samples, and I think I know what I'll be trading. I should get the box off in the next day or two.

    Humidor impressions?

    Well, I haven't picked up a new humidor yet (I bought a few too many stick, to be able to hide a humi purchase :twisted: ), but I did convert the old refridgerator into my tobacco storage station. The bottom is storage for my pipe tobacco, and the freezer is my "coolidor". It's working pretty...

    Fifth Annual Spring Forward Box Pass

    Sorry about not posting earlier, but it has been busy around here the last few days. The box landed Friday, evening (or at least that's when I was able to but my grubby hands in it), but I have only had the chance to try a couple samples out so far. Heck, I'm still trying to figure out what...

    Humidor impressions?

    This got me to thinking (very dangerous), about a "coolidor". You see I have this old refriderator in my basement, that isn't doing anything. Originally my thought was that I would make it into a brewmiester, but - 1. I never got around to it. 2. I prefer cigars to beer... So I was...

    Humidor impressions?

    Funny enough I have a cooler sitting around, that I was thinking of doing that with also. The only problem with the cooler is it doesn't seem to have the same ambience that something like a wood piece would have, so I was figuring it would be box storage if/when I get to that point. :shock:

    Humidor impressions?

    I thought I would see what you guys think of this humidor! I've outgrown my 20ct Humidor, and have a bunch of cigars sitting in cigar boxes with little humidor packs; so, rather then just go up to a 75-100ct humidor, I figure I will jump up a couple sizes...since I will probably get there...
