  1. I’ve used coffee meets bagel CMB, for almost five years. Great experience overall, you just have to filter thru a lot of fakes, misrepresented and the ones that want to sell you something. But got a hang of it after using it for a year or two. It’s very time consuming though but my current girlfriend that I have been dating for two years I met on CMB. pros - easy to find people of similar interests, can meet ppl outside your social circle, cons- people tend to be less serious in the beginning because they all think they can easily find a better one. There are a lot of scammers out there, I mean people who have ill intent and want to scam your money. You just have to be street-smart and make sure you come out and meet the person asap. Unfortunately a lot ppl still fall for the scams, especially professionals who’s probably too busy to check and make sure the person you are talking to is real.
  2. I just tried with my international Mastercard debit card and it thru okay.
  3. Great cause!!! thanks for putting this together. Will buy some tickets now.
  4. Greetings from Hong Kong! Got these bad boys in a bit more than a month ago. Been storing them in an acrylic Jar with cedar in my cigar cabinet. Tried one when they first came and after 35 days, both of them Maduros. I find that the sweetness is really starting to come out even after a month. Very impressed... I think I am going to migrate them to my EB humidor (bye bye Lanceros!!!!) to see if I can increase the sweetness even more. Will report back after 6 months. Since this was my first time purchasing these, will definitely need to get more of them because I think these will age really well. Thank you ROB and team for bringing this to the community. On a separate note, met up with a fellow FOHer for the first time in Hong Kong. (I thought for the past 10 years that I was only one of a few FOHer living in this part of the world) But I found out that there are quite a few of us here. And guess what the person brought to share, nudies!!! Forgot which batch it is from, but it was a very pleasant smoke after a light lunch.
  5. The thing with Hong Kong recent 10 years’ been a lot of parallel importers that come and take a lot of the supply and resell them up north. In previous years we still have some supply left but pricey, but this year, I can’t even buy anything I like from cohiba or Trinidad. So I am so happy that you still have the 24:24. I just need to wake up in time for the draw. But thank you rob for doing this.
  6. Thank you Rob for letting the community know. Similar situation in Hong kong, I am a long time customer of PCC but you can’t even get any cohibas or Trinidad anymore even for regular customers and brands like R&J, Monte, partagas is also running low on stock. and they are thinking of further price hikes towards the middle of the year. Maybe it’s time to dip into my stock for long term aging and weather the storm for the next 18-24 months.
  7. Happy CNY, wishing all FOH members and staff a happy, healthy and prosperous year of the tiger.

    New Humidor

    Thanks for the info!!! Very useful. I sent avallo a message still waiting for them to get back to me, maybe will call them next week to see. In terms of overseas makers, I actually don’t mind the extra shipping if it’s worth the extra money. I will check out the other sites and see if I like any of them, but thanks again for the info. Will report back if I decide on where to buy. Have a great weekend.

    New Humidor

    Looks nice! Good job! @Lfhard got a question for you. I currently own two aritocrat humidor cabinet/end table. Been using Bob’s products for over 25 years now and they are super solid. But unfortunately he decided to close shop so I can’t buy another one to match my current cabinet. You mentioned that you have been looking around for cigar cabinets, I am wondering if you can share some of the cabinet makers here with me. Although I am running out of space, but don’t mind the wait if the quality of the cabinet is good. Thanks in advance for sharing.
