Wow, look at all the comment love! Thanks guys.

As you’ll notice in my latest review, tcr, the Tower of Burn is alive and well!

Nah, Joel, the cigar band finally fell off. But it day stay on for quite a while! I agree with Tony, it should be a requirement for videos going forward.

Jon W, you weren’t paying attention?! You’ll just have to watch it again! LOL

Thanks guys!

AVO Tesoro 0:
I just recently purchased a box of these. I heard with some sleep these will be very fine smokes, similar to the prior years. I can’t wait to try one but that won’t be for at least 6 months or so.
Thanks for the review.

Nice review! I’m not a big Opus fan but still found your review entertaining and informative. I wouldn’t mind seeing and getting your input on YQMA.

Walt I love the Twitter Poll…I need to get on there and join you guys but this is great for those not on Twitter yet.

Man, I’m still playing catchup here on all this content.

Jerry - Enjoyed the review. I wouldn’t mind seeing you review some other Drew Estate stuff like the Java Wafe. One question though:

1) What determines how fast a cigar burns when its resting?

Paul - Its all good and you’re right to an extent. I think most see the comment section as interacting and showing Jerry some love. Its strange but I think most people tune in to watch Jerry and the cigar comes second.

Paul I think folks are just commenting on it because Jerry brought it up in his commentary.

Don’t want to dampen anyone spirits but; I thought the whole idea of the comments section was to post a comment toward the cigar reviewed, not video quality or vehicle of review.

Lately It seems like we’re missing the mark where viewers are critiquing video and audio quality as opposed to the cigar spotlighted.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this comment makes me as unpopular as a republican in Puerto Rico.

The Maduro should not be over-looked either. GREAT SMOKE for the greenback.

Walt -
No apologies needed. Waiting is the easy part. Composing, editing and release is what makes this site numero uno.

Keep up the good work (which takes time).

Comment on How to build a Fridgador by Jon W.

Jon W. — Tue, 13 May 2008 23:33:54 +0000

dhurowitz, I built a Tupperdore, and it smelled like Tupperware before hand (obviously). I’ve stored many smokes in it so far, and the smell seems to go away over time, or the cigar smell masks it.

Anyway, I have smoked an Oliva Serie G Maduro (fresh, only in tupperdore for about 3 hours), then smoked another one that had been in my tupperdore for about 3 months. I didn’t notice any major differences. Just take note, I’m new to cigars, so I could have easily missed something, but nothng seemed off, and the cigar that had been in there for 3 months did not seem affected in anyway. This example may be similar to a fridgador.

One of the better values of cigars around a bundle of this quality for under $50.00 is hard to beat.

My fridge always has that plastic smell as well, not sure if there is a solution.

Comment on Twitter Poll: Which cigar is here to stay? by Walt

Josh,
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll take a look at Jing when I get in tonight.

Josh — Tue, 13 May 2008 14:55:49 +0000

I agree with Jerry as well. I also agree with Cigar Jack on the Illusione.

Walt you should use a product called Jing for your screenshots. Much better quality that using Windows. I think Jerry uses it on his mac but there is a Windows version too.

Nice! Video was fine bud. Now you have to try the newer stuff and see how it compares.

Jerry I just watched this again and honestly, it wasn’t bad at all. I think if you move your lights back a bit, it would be perfect.

When do you normally record your reviews? Have you ever used ustream or stickcam so you can have a live audience when you record? I think that would be a lot of fun.

I have to agree with Jerry on Arganese cigars…guess I’m missing out on Twitter.

Jerry - first time commentator here and I wanted to say that I think your review was fine. I find your reviews the most enjoyable to watch and I’m glad you’re back.

Comment on Felipe Gregorio Icon Einstein by JB

Brian(s) You should glue some old Opus X labels on any of these that you have left and sell them on ebay as BBMF’s at $100 a clip! LOL (Please nobody actually do this). It is kind of cool to see that cigar makers are trying to branch out with their vitolas, but it kind of sucks that they ripped off an otherwise unique cigar.

Comment on La Vieja Habana by Drew Estates by Jerry

Jerry — Tue, 13 May 2008 02:34:41 +0000

You guys are too kind…

JB - Its just a check box we have to check when uploading our videos. Blip.tv does all the work. I’m also working on a download version of the video but I’m not sure how having an MP3 and a downloadable video counts as a view or not.

Comment on La Vieja Habana by Drew Estates by JB

JB — Tue, 13 May 2008 01:51:46 +0000

Hey Jerry,
Thanks for posting the MP3, I can’t watch the video at work (firewall) but the MP3 came through no problem.
I don’t know if it difficult to create the MP3 but it is a much appreciated effort.
Vieja (Vee-A-Ha) directly translated is an old woman, but I think it basically translates to “The Old Havana.”
Looking forward to YQMA.
