I have so much to update here. New pipes, new pipe tobacco. New cigars. Sigh. So much and so little time. That said, I will be hitting the following cities in the next few weeks: Sydney (Australia, not Canada); Singapore and Beijing. If you have suggestions of places to go, let me know..

Light my fire!
Ah, a good lighter. It can make the difference between enjoying a cigar and not enjoying it. I’ve always been partial to Blazer’s Torch lighter because of it’s durability and consistency. And when traveling I get long cigar matches to enjoy and share. I also bring little wooden matches for those touch-ups I might need. […]
Cigar Store Review: Ropewalk Tavern & revisiting Baltimore’s Cross Street Tobacco
A year ago, I visited one of my first cigar stores ever: Baltimore’s Cross Street Tobacco. A very laid back place, it was quiet and friendly. This past week I ended up back in Baltimore and decided to visit it again. I went to Ropewalk Tavern, one of only two restaurants in Maryland where you […]
Cigar this-n-that
Sorry for no posts. I’m hoping to continue my review of CAO America’s 4 for Fourth of July box set. It was a busy work week. I did get the special CRA sampler set this week. I had it shipped to Cigar Inn in Manhattan. I didn’t spend nearly enough time there but one thing […]
Cigar Rights: What doesn’t belong with the others?
It feels kinda like Sesame Street. You’re shown a bunch of pictures and you need to figure out how it doesn’t belong. In this case, we’re talking about the use of cheap “cigars” to be used as blunt wrappers but a law that doesn’t narrow the specification down. I mean, come one. Do they really […]
Mini-Interview with Rod from CigarPass.com
When I first started smoking cigars I went online and searched for forums and other resources to find out more info about them. The first place I ever landed was CigarPass. I was impressed as to how long it had been around and liked the simple look as well as the community attitude. Rod is […]
San Francisco: The city of hills..
As I mentioned, a couple of weeks ago I was in San Francisco. I was there to do a training course before my company’s big conference. Along with me were about 4 other colleagues. One in particular, D, is a cigar aficionado. He tends to travel internationally more than me (him being a bachelor and […]
And teh weiner is..
The variety of stories I got were great. I even got one from Peter (Canada) from Facebook. But it’s hard to compete against DJ’s paperclip story. I gotta say that’s a long route to get to one’s favs. So he’ll get a Fiver including a WOAN and one of the 2005 Opus X, along with […]
Quick Post/Contest: What would you do for Favs?
I’m very excited. I should be getting some Work of Art Naturals and an Opus X sampler later today. I’ve been wanting both for a while now. It did make me wonder what some do to get their favourite cigars or the one cigars they haven’t tried but want to. So what would do you […]
