Hi all...

[L-Ski]

My name is Lee, I'm 32 and from Herts. As out of favour as it is I'm quite a passionate smoker. I'm partial to a good full flavour cigarette, have a pretty nice shisha with a good selection of tobacco flavours and of course enjoy a nice cigar.

I must admit that I hadn't had a proper cigar in quite a while but in March I went on holiday to the Dom Rep - I spent my days on the beach with a rum and coke and a Cohiba. I've since managed to convince the other half we should go to Cuba on honeymoon next year so that's a touch!

I bought a few back with me, sadly I didn't realise just how cheap I had got them compared to here so didn't bring many, gutted about that but hey ho. Since being home I bought myself a small humidor (that I'm pretty sure I'm going to outgrow) and have purchased some sticks from C.Gars, been really pleased with the service from them so put another order in yesterday.

So there we go, that's me!

Welcome Lee, I have heard that most Cuban cigars sold in the DR are fakes so if you enjoyed those wait till you get a real Cohiba in ya gob.

[PeeJay]

Oh, and I started with a small humidor last year, I now have six.

Welcome Lee! Like others have said, you'll soon be tripping up over humidors! Seems to be a hazard once the bug bites....

Thanks guys. I have some Cohiba on order so looking forward to them. Yeah there is a hell of a lot of fakes out there, no one wants to sell you a sealed box! I have my suspicions about the ones I got but they are a pleasant smoke and didn't cost much.



Only 2 lines of dots at the top, and the colour of the sticks varies quite a bit but like I said they are a nice smoke and didn't break the bank!

Edamski, get a Khalil Mamoon cafe exotica, a phunnel bowl and some Tangiers tobacco, you won't regret it.

[Edamski]

Noted and thank you sir!

I had contemplated the electronic heater route, they as bad as they make out?

[PeeJay]

If you enjoy them then what the heck. I'm going in November and I'm sure I'll try at least one. If its shit it goes in the bin.

Yip there fake but as long as you enjoy them, welcome along as well

At least the label doesn't say Choiba!

[L-Ski]

Yes, leccy heaters are truly rubbish, if you must have a 'gadget' go with a kaloud lotus and put the coals in that. Otherwise get coco coals and a coil burner to light them.

Lol, yeah check this cheap golden v my mate at work got:


Spot it?

Can't wait for my order to arrive, if the fakes are pretty good I'm really looking forward to the real deal now!

[Edamski]

Cracking tips again mate, cheers!

haha sneaky sneaky!
