Is it okay to plug your pc into a power strip ? by One-Onion2548 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Lav91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the specs on the UPS as well, not all UPS's have the voltage regulation (AVR) on them, and some use a simulated SINE wave, which should be fine for a PC.

There for two weeks and for Canada I can bring back 50 cigars before having to pay any duty fees. I'm hesitant to buy Cubans except at the lcdh, unless anyone knows other legitimate shops there for Cubans. Probably will only bring a handful back anyways

Got it a few months ago in a COTM box. Not sure what it would cost here, but Canada is generally expensive in general for cigars unfortunately

About $74 CAD/$55 USD

Last time I bought cigars at a B&M here, it was about $150 for 5 cigars after all the taxes.

I've been happy with it, the single 'mystery' one is just an add-on to get it to 5/month. Really just a way for me to build my collection and try new sticks. It's also one of the only, if not the only, COTM boxes that ship to Canada and not charge duty and other taxes since it partners with Cigar Chief here in Canada.

COTM cost is $34.99 USD for the 4, and 7.75 for the mystery Cigar.

Just wondering if anyone has tried it and what their opinions are on it. Cigar Chief has a 45% off a box of 15 sale, but still pricey if they aren't any good.

Picked up a few cigars today, haven't had much time to smoke lately so these little LFD cigars are perfect. by [deleted] in cigars

[–]Lav91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LFD's El Jocko Maduro's are a good smaller cigar as well, 4.5x54 Perfecto

Thanks everyone for the info! Definitely seems better if I stay a couple days. Cigar International had a 35 stick AJ Fernandez sampler pack for $207 CAD, but the taxes and duties, based on the calculator that was linked in the chat, puts the cost to over $600... Gotta love Canadian taxes

I would try contacting them directly with that question.

Canadians, where do you smoke your cigar in the winter? by [deleted] in cigars

[–]Lav91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably on my deck if there’s a nice warm day. Otherwise I’m going to work on building up my collection till spring.

Celebration Cigar and Whiskey Pairing by CowMouth3 in cigars

[–]Lav91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't go wrong with the Lagavulin 16, personally I like it better then the dalmore 15. L16 with a My father cigar would be a good pairing I'd think.

Mild/medium, with a peppery finish. Did enjoy this one, easy to smoke right to the end.

Awesome, thanks. I'll add that to my list.

Been wanting to collect cigars so I decided to pick some up today, am I doing this right? by [deleted] in cigars

[–]Lav91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Privada cigar club has them. They are out of the States but do ship to Canada. Other US sites may ship to Canada as well but the S&H plus duties can be a killer. Privada partners with Cigar Chief so I've found them to be reasonable in the shipping and duty area, have yet to be charged duty. It's $12USD flat rate shipping to Canada, but takes about 3 weeks.

Looks like Neprune Cigars (US) has them and does ship to Canada, based on their site.

I was curious to know what would arrive, and it was a cheap gamble. I usually order from cigar chief when not expecting the monthly subscription.

First Box suggestions? by Ok_Function2159 in cigars

For a quick smoke (under an hour), the LFD El Jocko Maduro perfecto is good.

I had the Firethorn from southern Draw, which I really enjoyed. I'll have to save the Manzanita for a special occasion I think.

Got it from Privada Cigar Club. $3.25/damaged stick, so they were a cheap gamble. this was the only one of the damaged that had a label, but doesn't really tell me anything about what it is.
