The Cohiba's a decent little cameroon. I've been a fan of them for as long as I've smoked cigars (about 15 years). I also like the H.Upmann Vintage Cameroon, half the price, and an equally good quality smoke.

I do have some sentimental attatchment to the Upmann's though, they were the first hand rolled cigars that I smoked...

I was working a job in downtown Fort Worth, I'd get off from work, walk to the cigar shop to pick one up, then head off to the Flying Saucer for a few pints, I could chat with the other patrons, or find a quiet place to read and enjoy myself.

I try to have one per 9 holes. Right now the humidor has a stock of CAO Cameroon Toros, Monticristo (Double Corona I believe), and IMHO one of the best inexpensive cigars - Sancho Panza (Glorioso). I also have a ten pack of Placensia Reseeve Organica that I picked up to try.

I like the toro size about 6 x 50. They seem to offer the best size for me.

I used to actually sell cigars on the side back in the cigar craze 10 years ago.
Recently I went and bought a box of "It's a Girl" good cigars (yep, new dad!) and picked up some new ones for myself.
I am now totally hooked on the ACID brand by Drew Estates. A wee bit of sweetness on the tip takes the bit out and with the infused herbs, etc they are just a great smoke.

I still have a humidor full of old smokes, Partagas, Fuente, and ROmeo JUlietas (the old ones, before they changed hands many years ago). By now they will have likely fused their flavors together, but should be awesome when I break them out.

I (like most) cigar enthusiasts, just cannot handle the infused cigars. To me, it is like smoking a perfume bottle. I am glad that many love them though. It is brought many more cigar smokers into the world. That is a good thing.

Thats why I love the world of cigars. What are some peoples junk are others' treasures. Glad you like them. Mr. Drew sure does make popular stuff, you are not alone.

Cohiba Blacks

Are you talking about the black labels or the actual black ones. I have a black one thats been in my humi for almost a year now and im scared to smoke it. Ive got a couple of boxes of the Oliva Vs ive been smoking lately, the Padron 64s, and the Tatuaje Cojonu 2003s too. Im still trying to find a couple of God of Fires.

I have a couple of the God of Fires. If you need one, I can send you one.

I might have to take you up on that. It seems like the shops in LA horde all of the good stuff for their best customers and leave us the left overs. Is there a website that has them and are they worth it?

Ok, so here is a question for the long time humidor users(josh ): I have 2 functional humidors(25-50 count and 150 count 3 drawer) and I am setting up a 3rd for a buddy. Here is the problem, I have found(and am sure some of you all ready know) that the analog hygrometers that come stock are pretty much junk and sometimes difficult to adjust. So, rather than replace them all with digital ones could I not just buy one digital unit(calibrated of course), and use that to check each of the boxes as well as use to calibrate the junk analog ones? What I mean is place the digital inside each box for a couple days and adjust the analog one accordingly. I do like the look of the analog but find them high maintence and unreliable. You can tap them and it will change 2-4%. TIA....Mac

    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
