And our IPCPR 2016 coverage is complete. It took us a little longer to get everything posted, due in large part to our decision to switch our gear and software out all at once. But it all worked out in the end. We didn’t talk to everyone we wanted to interview, but we never do. […]
IPCPR 2016: Island Lifestyle Importers
When I saw Tommy Bahama and Island Lifestyle banners at IPCPR I was doubly surprised- the first time just to see them at the trade show, then immediately followed up with surprise that they had never attended before. Cigar accessories do make up a good percentage of what you’ll see in one of their stores. […]
IPCPR 2016: RoMa Craft
Every year there are complaints about the foot traffic being light at IPCPR, and I’ll be honest with you, I’m generally too busy trying to grab a few minutes to do interviews to notice. (My general sense is there was about the same amount of people at this trade show as there was last year.) […]
Commonwealth Cedar Spills
Last year at the Tweetup in Chattanooga, I met Thomas Person, President of Commonweath Cedar Spills. His company specializes in the creation of cedar strips that can be used to light cigars. But they’re more than simple strips of wood. Each spill is tapered from a thicker handle to a smaller bulbous lighting end, and […]
Shop Review: Genuine Tobacco Company
Shop Review I have a shop review of Genuine Tobacco for you this week and I included a bit of a video with Stephen Saudarg who is director of operations for Genuine Tobacco. I think this may be the first shop review with video. I am such a rebel. I have been going to this […]

Havana Saver
Welcome boys and girls to a short, down and dirty review of the Havana Saver. I was given this accessory while Walt and I were at Famous Smoke shop for Cigarnival 2012. This is a draw poker plus. When I say plus I mean some of them have a golf ball marker and you can […]

If you want to ask questions you can also hop on twitter and follow HumidorMuse Short summary. I think they are a nice thing […]
Whirlpool AP51030K Air Purifier Review
Welcome all my friends. I have had so much peer pressure put on me to get this review done, I figured I would cave in and do it now. Yes, my head is cut off on most of it. Some may say that is a good thing. I hope you enjoy the review and as […]
Whirlpool AP51030K Air Purifier Teaser
Just like the title says, this is a little sneak peek at the Whirlpool AP51030K Air Purifier I just bought. This unit was rated #1 in Consumer Reports in September of 2010. As many of you know, I had to send the RabbitAir back so I ended up snagging this at my local Sears to […]
