I totally experienced #49 the other night. I was in a situation where the only thing available to me was a Swisher Sweet. I used to like those, so I was like, whatever. Lit it, it smelled alright, after about 3 puffs, all I could taste was chemicals and burnt paper. Horrible experience. I stomped it out. I don't think I will EVER do a machine made again...and I know for sure I'll never have another Swisher.
Stick with the hand made cigars for sure!
What's the best way to date them? Do you write on the plastic wrapper or just create a list of what you have when you get it?
I like to use the little price tag stickers people use when they're having yard sales, etc. You can pick up a couple hundred of them at WallyWorld for a couple bucks. Ive also seen some folks use masking tape as well.
The batter steps in ... he swings ... its a deep deep drive ... back to the top of the page !!! He did it he did it ... he drove it all the way back to the top ... holy smokes , what a swing he put into that one !!!
Hey Mike, I think i ran into something that should be added. In the recent future, it has been discovered/discussed about pillows leaking due to being filled up a bit and wrapped tight in a small package. Example: got a trade in one of the $5 USPS boxes, the package was bulging, opened it up and the pillow had leaked goo out onto all the cigars...luckily the cellos protected them. I normally double bag any naked smokes for this reason and I had to educate the noob on this problem, yet could not find the thread in GD forum. Recently, i got another that had this issue but not nearly as bad. I think this is important enough for noobs to know so they do not destroy any cigars in their first bombings or trades. Let me know, I had not seen it until recently and it has the potential to destroy cigars.

I use the medicine dropper i got for my beads, and unfortunately all my pillows (older ones) are fat as can be... i know Alex discussed this and mentioned it cost Ccom a TON of $$$ in inventory...so I woudl not like noobs to learn the hard way.
I'm having the same problem with two of my pillows that I got from CCOM. Is there anyway to get them back to normal? I've had them in the garage to dry out but te haven't changed much. I won't be using them unless there's a way to fix them. Should I just toss them?

Don't toss them, they will go back down with time. I have recharged many to "Rosie O'Donnel" status and I put them in all my boxes for storage. I keep the "Paris Hilton's" for bombs/trades and such.
Wow, thanks! I think this answered about 50 different questions in my head and probably created 50 more. Loving this new venture, but I have ohhh so much to learn.

Thanks Sniper, I had most of this down, but so much of it is a MUST. Also, I had no idea what B&M meant! LOL
