Chech out this place guys. join, it's for free, lots of usefull information, You get a free "My Humidor" that is kind of like a journal that you can store info on what's inside your personal humidor at home, read what other people have to say about your favorites, and a cigar rating feature, that gives you the rating and most times what their worth. I've been using this site for about 4 months now, plus there is tons of other usefull tools and knowledge there too. Best of course, it's free. Check it out, I don't think you'll be dissapointed at all. Enjoy!!!!!!

printed nicely. colors true to life. nice thick and slick pages. lots of useful information about a $9,000. stereo we all must have. good information about cars in the six figure bracket. beautiful if vapid looking woman and handsome and vapid looking men dressed in pants and shirts the each cost more than my wardrobe (actually we call it my clothes around the house). some fair information about who liked what cuban cigar, unavailable to us. like a g string and tassels enticing the adolescent. sort of like playboy except at least playboy showed semi naked, vapid looking women. bigp7474 i am talking about the mag, as we call it. the web site you mentioned might be, as you suggest, useful, as long as i don't have to read some shumck's idea of what a good cigar is.

A nice and pretty magazine with lots of "dream" stuff throughout! Interesting articles, and seem to be most patriotic, but when the changed the format, they lost me as a big time booster! I still buy it, but sometimes, I wonder why! Web site is one of the best and I go to it quite often! Charlie

I've kept a Humidor on thier site for a long time. I use it mostly to record when and how much I paid for something, very useful.Also a good place to check MSRP.

I have been keeping a humidor on their site for a couple of months. If anyone wants to take a look at it, it is under Jayme.

I'm glad some of you mugs like it for refrencing M.S.R.P.'s and ratings a other usefull cigar related stuff. I basically like the Humidor feature, so I can remember what was what and when and how much blah blah blah. And that's just some of the usless knowledge stored in the few live brain cells that I have still jumping around in this skull. I'm a regular fountain of totally useless information, glad you enjoyed this tidbit, so stay tuned for more folks!!!!!

It's a good site,lots of fun stuff to read while burning a stick. As for their ratings,I kind of scratch my head. Some are right on,but others are way off. Some they rate in the 90's leave me wondering if the mfg's pay them off. Some they rate in the low 80's taste pretty good to me. I guess it's what tastes good to you. Maybe I just haven't developed the educated palate.

Your taste buds are fine, Xbumbro, a couple issues ago Opus Mini Beli was rated 94, then one issue ago it was rated 88. So what's wrong with THEIR taste buds? Its all bubbamatzohs (did I get that wrong, Rick?). I like LGC Wavells and ISOM Montecristo anythings, among others, but there is a cigar I bought for a buck a stick here on c-bid that is so good it damn near brings tears to my eyes (well, I think that's the reason I cry when I smoke 'em). I'll tell you which one after I get another box or two. Nobody can taste your gars for you.

I logged on last year for the first time. I used the ratings area mostly until i figured most of the comments were from a couple of years back. I guess I was comparing my experiences to those. I signed up for the free, trial subscription and got the issue with Raquel on the cover. I canceled the trial because it was so much hype. I thought their subscription ads are even intimidating. They do have a nice fund raiser going for Sep 11 victims. I still check out their site from time to time. The last thing I enjoyed reading was James Suckling's visit to the annual cigar festival in Cuba. Cigarnexus is really a much better site and it's no longer maintained.

bubbamatzohs more like bubbe-minsa. a story by your grandmother which is probably not true. a customer picks up an old fork at a garaage sale. how much he asks. 1 cent the seller says. too much the customer says. the seller responds with "so, make me an offer"

Eleltea, I tried the Oynx Mini Belicosos. A 94? I don't think so. Another one rated 94 was the Leon Jimenes maduro belicoso. I thought it was very rough.Be sure to let me know what the cigar is you bought.As I continue to look for the perfect cigar that costs as little possible.
What does ISOM mean?

Eleltea, I'm sure you recognize the three most frequently told lies in the history of mankind. If you still want my email it's [email protected]

1. "I didn't inhale", Bubba
2. "I did not have sex with that woman"! Bubba again
3. "I love Hillary" Bubba?
Too keep this on proper board, I am going to smoke one of my Mayorga 50 ring sampler cigars that I just recieved. 20 Mayorgas for $30. Charlie
