This website is the passion-project of a USMC veteran/mechanic, @Tyler. I created Tacoma3G.com to share my knowledge of this subject with others and to provide like-minded folks with a comfortable space to ask questions and create 'build threads' within our Tacoma Forums. Now, if the format of this website is confusing to navigate for you, or if you're interested in my full mission and T3G's history, check out the Help and About pages.
Dude what is with all the anime on your wall?
I dig it. Maduros aren't my thing but I burn one every now and then. If it's a Warfighter, Rocky Patel or Drew Estate stick, I usually dig it. I get shit for it, but that includes the Acid line every now and then.Camacho Triple Maduros and Rocky Patel Edge Battalions are my faves, but not always in the humidor.

My everyday smokes that I rotate through:
- Warfighter 5.56 Field Toro
- San Cristobal Original Toro
- Rocky Patel Java Maduro or Mint Toro
- Rocky Patel Prohibition Connecticut Broadleaf Toro
- Acid Blondie Belicoso
- Undercrown Shade Belicoso
- Tabak Especial Toro
The "better" smokes I still enjoy regularly:
- Liga Privada No. 9 Parejo Toro
- Padron Damaso Toro
- Rocky Patel The Edge Connecticut Torpedo
- Pappy Van Winkle Tradition Robusto Grande
- My Father Connecticut Toro
- Warfighter 5.56 Garrison Toro
- Warfighter Victory Gran Toro
Those are just the ones off the top of my head. I find myself downright craving the San Cristobal and Java lines if I haven't had one in a while... I think they lace them with crack.
No shame in that. I burn about 3 sticks a week on average, and like any of the finer things in life, your tastes and preferences start to develop with experience. You'll notice probably 85% of those on my list are pretty similar to one another, mainly Toros with Connecticut wrappers and Nicaraguan binders and fillers. It's just what I like. You start developing patterns and when you do you'll have a better idea what to stock up on and give you direction on what to try next.I don't smoke enough to have real heavy favorites - I know the couple I like, though. I just ordered a handful of 5 packs from cigar.com that will last me well into the fall, maybe longer. I may walk down your list and see what's what.
Buy this, live happily:my humidor dried out
Buy this, live happily:
The "sponges" last about 6 months. When they're "fresh" I only have to refill my humidor once every 2 weeks, and that's here where it's hot and dry as fuck. Well worth the investment, especially if you are constantly in and out of the humidor.
I tend to only keep 20-60 at a time in my humidor which has a capacity of 100. Seems to be the perfect amount for me. There are three major cigar warehouses and two high-end cigar bars within 20 minutes of my house, so it's not like I need to stock up. And I don't age mine or anything, I prefer them fresh and a tad on the damp side for slower, cooler burns.I was using sponges and hum sticks. problem was the moves and multiple seasons. between summer a/c and winter heater it was a real struggle.
time to reset and start over. at one point I actually had 3 humidors and over 300 cigars. I ended up giving them away. down to less than 125 currently.
