In the cigar community you will hear and learn a lot of things. How to light your cigar correctly, how to store them, what do to and what not, etc.. I guess you get it.

While I was sitting on my own enjoying my second stick I saw a small group of aficionados that looked like they the came as well for the ...

On Saturday, 2nd May, I arrived back home at around 10:00 o' clock.

Woke up Sunday quite early for in contrary to my normal Sunday wake up time. For me normally around midday on the weekends. I arrived on the 16th of April in Ho Chi Minh (HCM). ...

¡Qué día tan ajetreado fue ayer! Alrededor del mediodía, Peter me llamó para decirme que la Copa Barcelona para pipa se celebraría ese mismo día, 6 de junio, en el Club Pipa de Barcelona, ​​y me preguntó si estaba seguro de que la CSWC 2026 también estaba programada para el 6 de junio allí.
