Trying out a cheap v cutter from amazon. Been wanting to try one but not willing to spend alot, think this was around $10. Worked ok. Little tear on the cap but useable. Definitely more open draw than my punchhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5a31eb5219.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0a5d34e9fd.jpg

Leaves you with $ to buy more leaves to cut...Winner.
Draw def should be better than a punch, I think.
Got my new Thunderbird butane insert on Friday thanks to some helpful guidance from the good folks here. Works extremely well, very happy with it so far.

Well, not a purchase but a gift from a thoughtful and thrifty friend, I received this nifty cigar registry, which she purchased at a used book shop for $2.50.
As I plan to affix a label and enter notes only for each first try, and it has enough space for about 800 entries, I think I'll be set for a long while, if not most likely forever. lol.
Speaking of which, I thought I already had a good system in place with the even hundred reviews I entered over at that "other" cigar site, combined with a label kept for each in the jar I show below.
That held true until a few years back when the whole site went completely under for about a week before changing hands.. and servers!... whereupon all my (and everyone else's) entries went Poof! Drat. And a first-hand lesson why even in this digital age, good ol' pen and paper may still have a valuable place. Or, "just use the "cloud", you might be saying. But that is a subject for another day. lol.
Sadly, as I understand it, the reason behind all that interruption was the site founder had died and about whom I can only have nice things to say for even endeavoring to give us all a place to chat and commiserate about, of all things, cigars! Thank you, sir, and hopefully you are now happily puffing away up there.
And of course, thank you, too, to our fine leadership here, for so boldly and selflessly carrying on the torch in a similar fashion.

If I ever get all these labels into that book...with notes!..it'll be quite some doing. 😁

That's a really great gift Tom.
Yes Tony, thank you. I was rather touched by it and am now warming up to the task of filling it in. lol.Quote:

Lol. Exactly. I've never been the methodical type but I think, all the back-tracking aside, once in the daily habit (and I don't fall behind!) it will become more pleasure than chore. And in the end I'll have all my notes in one accessible place. Aaaahhh.Quote:

Thanks, Chris. For anyone interested, I do see these books are still available online. I can't imagine the "used" ones are written in but I would check with the seller to be sure. Anyway, the book is Cigar Dossier, the author is Shawn M. Preston, and the publisher, MAKO Publishing, Inc. Good luck.Quote:

Which stands for: Negligible, Respectable, Commendable and Superb. Yeah, I think that's gonna be it. :cowstogie:
Ideally, I guess, the results should fall in a bit of a bell curve but we shall see. I have a feeling there are a lot more N's than S's but that "skew" can be attributed to an overabundance of early and dubious noob picks. lol. :nono:
Very cool!
Sorry for all this blathering out loud. Look at the time of post, 2:12 AM, and I wasn't even drinking. Jeez.Quote:

SoCal. Exactly! The part of the scale ever actually used is maybe 80-100, so only 20 pts. really, or not much more. Would be interesting to hear what other Bums here use, but also, I think my own system may work out for me. Thanks!Quote:

Supposedly, every review begins at 100 and they mark it down for everything they find wrong with it. In theory it sounds like a good system but you're right, it ends up being a bit lame. In all reality it truly is about a 12 point scale. It's also lame because (and I'd suspect most would agree) I don't care about cosmetic flaws or imperfect burn lines much at all - if a cigar doesn't TASTE good it's a dog rocket. But then again, as far as the scale spread goes, maybe it only goes down to 88 in practice because cigar snobs aren't reviewing Ron MexicosQuote:

Nice ashtray...I got one just like it a few weeks ago.
Maybe the Ron Mexicos are what 'they' smoke when forced to pay for the cigars?Quote:
