Humidor Notes Cigar Journals
“TO REMEMBER THE DETAILS OF YOUR CIGAR ENJOYMENT“ I’ve seen a few ways here and there where people try to keep track of the cigars that they smoke. From Excel spreadsheets, Phone Apps, to spiral bound notebooks. But none ever seemed to work for me. Either it was too involved to get set up or [...]
Winston Humidor
Around late August I received the Winston Humidor from 1st Class Cigar Humidors. They gave me this humidor in exchange for my review. Since that time I’ve been paying close attention to a few different aspects and now feel that I’m ready to give my assessment of this humidors form and function. Details Size: 16-3/4″ [...]
Bugatti B-1 Lighter
One of my most obsessive quests in my cigar smoking journey is the quest to find a reliable lighter. How hard is that, you say? Very damn hard. I can’t tell you how many lighters I have. Everything from gas station specials to my beloved ST Dupont X-tend. The problem is that most rarely work [...]
Xikar Ultra Cutter & Lighter
The Xikar Ultra Lighter and Cutter combination earns high marks for both form and function, and is a must buy for cigar smokers.

Zippo is a name that even non-smokers have known for a long time. Their fluid-based lighters have been well-known and well-respected since they opened up in 1932.

Our good friends and sponsor over at BuyLighters.com sent us one to try out.
Lotus 20
The Lotus 20 lighter features a wind resistant triple flame, 8mm cigar punch, fuel window and electronic quartz ignition. I’ve used this lighter for about a month in an attempt to get a good idea of how well the lighter performs. With well over 100 cigars lit and numerous refills it’s time to let you [...]
Stinky Ashtray
Created out of necessity, the Stinky ashtray is produced out of stainless steel and provides a cavernous space for the tapping of cigar ash. Please visit the Stinky Cigar website for more information, and to find out where you can purchase one of these products.
Herf-a-dor X5
Cigar smoking is a social activity, and it’s not very convenient to drag that 75 quart Igloo cooler to the herf. So we have travel humidors. Today I look at the five-count Herf-a-dor X5 by Humi-care.
Xikar Travel Humidor
Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure or just herfing with your buddies, no trip is complete without a stash of your favorite cigars along for the ride. Problem is properly caring for those cigars in the process.
