I had a feeling that's what they stood for, but I wasn't entirely sure.

Thanks for the link :-)

I've had expensive Duponts and a flashy Zino cutter. They're both gone or not working. The cheapo plastic cutters are well.. cheap crap. However, the cuban crafters steel (guillotine) one is super cheap (like $20) sharp, and will help you judge how deep to cut. Plus it has a lifetime replacement warranty. It's not fancy looking, but def worth at try. And yes, a guillotine is most common in the US. Try it, then if you want can pick up a nice punch to hang on your key chain later. Good scissors are expensive, a pain and not good for travel, the v-cut... well not my thing, for sure.

FYI, Colibri has terrible support around their lighters. Look for something you can get repaired easily.

You do realize that the post you quoted is over five years old, right? :-)

Whoops, no. Hey, maybe it'll come in handy during a search...!

is it normal to feel like an ass ordering online, as opposed to purchasing at a B&M?

they're no B&M's within 100 miles of my home, but one really awesome B&M near where i work, that i try to visit when i have a chance, which ain't often.

started to make a purchase at CI the other day, and really felt like an ass for doing it.
[Reply]

Not normal.

No one should have regrets ordering online. Just continue to support your B&M

I have a locker at my b&m, but their selection isn't huge. So I buy what I can from them and everything else from online. Typically I will also buy accessories (cutters, lighters, bovedas, etc) from my b&m since they make more money on those items.
[Reply]

Why feel like an ass? The quality is just as good and the selection is sometimes better. I get most of my smokes online. I make about two trips a month to my B&M because I can try new things, get the scoop on upcoming events, and support a local business.

Excellent :-)

Does keeping the cellophane wrapper on a cigar cause any difference in aging or humidity changes?
[Reply]

Not really. Cellophane is porous.

I order over 99% of my cigars online. Like you my closest B&M is 220 miles away, lucky for me it's Fumare, home of Illusione cigars. But I don't get there very often. Do not feel like an ass, it's your money, spend it as you wish.

So how do you deal with the itchy throat cough from cigars?

I use Max Strength Mucinex that works for about 8 hrs

Although I've been only smoking 1- 4 cigars a day for less than 8 months I get nervous about the possible C word coming on in my throat.

I'm looking for a better answer then lay off the sticks :-)
Thanks

I tend to not go back to shops where customers or owners smoke in the walk-in humidor because of how it effects the other sticks and the humidification system.
Anyone else feel this way or am I off track?
[Reply]

Considering that many if not most rollers smoke in the factories, I dont see how there are any long term negative effects. I dont personally smoke in walk ins but dont see a real problem. :-)
[Reply]

I'd be more worried about a shop where the employees favored chili for lunch, personally.
