    What are you smokin'?

    Started off the day with a Cornelius and Anthony Aerial Corona Gorda, this has got to be the richest and most complex Connecticut shade cigar I've ever had, excellent

    The History of Caminetto (shapes, stamping, articles, etc.)

    The letters above "Caminetto" do not look like a factory stamp to me and it's an odd place for a factory stamp, but again I'm no expert.

    The History of Caminetto (shapes, stamping, articles, etc.)

    I think the white mustache indicates more current production and the gold mustache indicates the older era, but I'm not an expert.

    The History of Caminetto (shapes, stamping, articles, etc.)

    Based on an internet search, this appears to be a more recent Caminetto "high grade" and I could be wrong, but it appears that someone carved their initials into the shank. If this is the case I would assume it makes the pipe's value pretty low from a collector's standpoint if that's what you...

    What are you smoking?

    Earlier today, my first try of this, it was OK so I moved on to C&D Adagio which was very satisfying, in an old Castello Sea Rock

    9mm pipe

    I was thinking about the Savinelli balsa inserts as I like them in some of my Savinellis that take them. I decided against the pipe though.

    I learnt from that

    So far not from a pipe, but plenty of holey shirts from Cigar ash drops :roll:

    9mm pipe

    Is there a high quality adapter anyone knows of that doesn't rattle or gurgle? Or a permanent solution?

    So many Cigars

    Oliva is a good choice as most of their offerings are really good. Alec Bradley not so much IMHO. You would really need to know what fits with your taste in that brand.

    So many Cigars

    Liga Privada T52 is excellent, albeit pricey. I don't like the No. 9 nearly as much. Belicoso and Robusto are my favorites.

    What are you smoking?

    First try of HU Joschi's Oriental Sunrise in the Caminetto Business 118 Billiard, very nice smoke, a lot of flavors develop as the bowl progresses

    So many Cigars

    The Laranjas are excellent, mild-medium with a citrus twang to them.

    So many Cigars

    I disagree, the AF Curley Head and Punch/Hoyo Rothchild are ok cigars at best and not to everyone's taste because of this. I do agree with Richard on sticking with the well known lines, but get something in the higher tier offerings since you're looking to smoke one cigar as perhaps an...

    Definitely a good choice

    So many Cigars

    Full, medium, or mild, options can be flavor and strength. I go for the medium to full blends most often. Darker wrappers can have a much different taste from lighter wrappers as well. I prefer lighter wrappers on some models and darker on others.
