Books - Cornell & Diehl Small Batch Tasting Journal (3-Pack)
Great for beginners...
The Cornell & Diehl Small Batch Tasting Journal is a great gift, in fact, I gifted it to myself. The “Tasting Wheel” page is a helpful guide when you cannot figure out what flavor you are tasting. You can review 24 tobaccos per journal so you have plenty entries for exploring new tobaccos.

Warped - Smokingpipes El Oso Primo
Unremarkable...
The flavor was leather dominate with notes of cocoa, cinnamon spice, and wood. The construction on this cigar was excellent with a razor-sharp burn without a need to “touch-up”. Would I buy this cigar, again? No, because there are better cigars out there at the same price point.

Humidors & Travel Cases - Colibri Rally Humidor Black and Blue
Go for it...
An excellent humidor for the price and pleasing to the eye. An air-tight seal and the humidity is maintained perfectly. Currently, I have around 110 cigars with very little room left. The digital hygrometer is a nice addition. I recommend this product if you are in the market for a desktop humidor.

Humidification - Boveda 60g Humidity Control Packet-72%
Excellent Product...
I have three desktop humidors and only use Boveda packets in them. I prefer the 72% packs over the other RH levels. The packets maintain their humidity perfectly, if you have a good humidor seal. For myself the packets last between 3 to 4 months before I must replace them, and of course, that can vary depending on conditions/climate. I recommend this product to any cigar smoker who wants a simple yet effective way to keep their cigars humidified.

Sampler Packs - Caldwell Sampler (4 Pack)
Worth the money....
I wanted to try Caldwell cigars so when I saw this sampler pack I did not hesitate and purchased it. At the time of this review, if you were to buy each cigar on its own then you would pay around $60 dollars or so and those types of savings are most welcomed. The cigars were all enjoyable and I got my money’s worth. I highly recommend this sampler pack to anyone who wants to try the Caldwell portfolio or to the person who wants to try something new.

Sampler Packs - God Of Fire KKP Special Reserve and Never Back Down Assortment (10 Cigars and Macassar Travel Humidor)
Glad to have purchased it...
The macassar travel humidor is gorgeous and feels like a high-quality product. I look forward to using it for future travels. The cigars arrived in flawless condition and even though I only smoked the KKP Special Reserve 56 so far, it was excellent. I am certain the remaining nine cigars will not disappoint. For any cigar lover/enthusiast out there, please do yourself a favor and buy this when it becomes available again.
