Thanks, after looking at the price of tubes now, I think I actually want my amp to be the problem instead of the dozen of so tubes I have to all be bad. :D

Local would help, I'm in the Triangle area. And I don't know if MAD is in business of selling per se, but I reached out to Al for the service manual for my Ear+ and have been trading emails all morning with him to diagnose the issue with my amp.

A little more revival because I've used this amp for years know and been gone from HeadFi and most of keeping up with things for a while. My amp or tubes are DOA after moving recently (well a few years ago, finally got to putting it back into service). And I have no idea where to source tubes...

Hello cigar and headphone nuts, been a long while since I been around.  Whats new in these parts?     Smoke em if you got em!

Hey all you cigar nuts.  Haven't been around for a while.  Looks like everyone is goin strong.  Keep smokin em boys and girls.  :D

Quote: That is a bummer Orcin.  I just moved to the Houston area and was looking forward to making this years meet.  I obviously don't know any place in the area to have a meet at as I just got here.  Do hope someone who has been in Houston for a while will have some ideas.

Wow not a lot of action around this thread.  I just completed a move to the Houston area yesterday and celebrated with a SLR Regios and a Viaje 50/50 that I bought at the very nice B&M that happens to be down the street from the new apartment.   So psyched to have a B&M within a mile instead...

Ditch the cigar box and get a piece of tupperware.  The humidipak in the tupperware will last months.  In the box it will dry out along with your cigars as their isn't any kind of seal.  Or forget all that if you live in south Florida.  ;)

Smoke another one and see if it tastes the same.  You could have just got a bad stick or even a bad box of cigars and your storage may not be the issue it is too early to tell.  Stop worrying so much about the humidity and swings.  It takes a long time for the humidity of a boxed cigar to go one...

I use a Lotus T3 at home.  Nice big size lights up things with ease.  But usually I just stick with the cheaper stuff even at hom a lot.  Have a Lotus L820 that works and is nice because it has an integrated punch.   The go tos though are either an old school Collibri Firebird that is about...

Happy Late Birtday Bill. 

  Quote: Well keep in mind 90 and above is the exceptional with very few smokes going 94 and above.  The OWR is a good cigar but 88 is about right.  That being said reviews are highly subjective and I trust my own tastes first and foremost.  And my agreement to the number is based off...

Nothing ventured nothing gained in life.  At least you came into it with an open mind and gave it a try.  Nothing wrong with not liking something you have tried.

Very good stick.  Burned a pepin blend LAdC Churchill last night.  At 50 it is at the top end of the rg I enjoy.  Really do prefer the cc sizes, wish the nc guys would follow suit, but looks like the other way round.  :(   That aside I really enjoyed the new LAdC.  Better than the old and...

Got some 07 SLR A's in, burned one ROTT.  Went nicely with the thunderstorm.  :D
