Absolutely beautiful!!!!

The cigar, the CAO America is pretty good, too. Look at my article to see photos of it, it has two wrappers, to create a striped look. It's made with very strong tobaccos, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle.

Humidor from Sam's, given to me by a close friend.

I have looked at the America and I believe its called the Potomac but have yet to try one

 

[RedPop4]

Potomac is only one of the sizes.

Add new TFL member Univibe88 into the event mix in April.

While looking on CAO's site I noticed they have an event in Jacksonville on the 20th!!

It's an annual thing.

 

[jamespowers]

It's an annual thing.

Then I see I missed a CAO event down in Fresno yesterday on top of it. :eusa_doh:

RP the Edge

pretty good smoke for under $6.
Earlier had a bowl of Kingfisher in my one Dunhill while waiting at the hospital.
Probably broke the law while smoking in my car... oh well!

 

[RedPop4]

You may still be safe in the South

I smoked an America Anthem today (that's the one in the fancy wood box) and I have to say I like this cigar. CAO rarely lets me down, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this one.

 

[RedPop4]

Did you find it strong? That was the word on these from CAO and from people who tried them early.

 

[indycop]

Had an Omar Ortiz today. Maybe it was just a bad one but it was like smoking a stick. The thing was hard as a rock. Also picked up a CAO gold and a Cameroon as well as a Oliva series V.

We have a new article up on Cigar Weekly This should REALLY appeal to you fine lovers of vintage and antique items. I'd love to do this, as well.

A few weeks ago, I came across a thread in the Cigar Weekly forums entitled Show Me Your Humi, and saw something there I really liked. It was an old icebox CW member Thomkm (Tom) had converted into a humidor.

Thomkm's icebox turned humidor... Fantastic work.

The icebox is a precursor to the refrigerator. In the era before domestic electric appliances became commonplace, an ice man would deliver a block of ice to a typical household, usually on a daily basis. Once the block was placed in the chamber of the icebox, the tin lining inside the box conducted the cold throughout the interior, keeping the stored food cold.

Thomkm's humidor appeared so awesome that I knew I had to have something like it. I certainly didn’t have either the room or the budget for something as big or elaborate as his, and so I looked around for a smaller icebox unit.

With a little bit of luck, I found a nice icebox on eBay and won the auction for it

Christmas Cheer

Just smoked the last of my 2002 edition of McClelland's Christmas Cheer, in a David Jones Regency sandblast billiard pipe.

I've heard the 2007 version of CC is supposed to be good. Can anybody verify?
