Cigar Page is back with another banger: The Fab Collab Tenski Cigar Grip II

10 different cigars
Cigarpage / Cigarpage

Well, here we go again. Cigar Page just dropped another insane deal, and I knew I was in for it the second I saw the words “Rocky Patel” and “$19.99” in the same sentence. If you missed the last bundle they offered — and yes, I’m still hearing about it from my better half — now’s your chance to make up for it.

This time around, they’re calling it The Fab Collab Tenski Cigar Grip II. I did spend some time trying to figure out who “Tenski” is (don’t laugh) but realized it’s because there are TEN cigars. That saves me the embarrassment of writing a thank you note to “Mr. Tenski” and sending it to Cigar Page. Once again, the big dogs are in the ring: Rocky Patel and La Aurora. These names must mean something because my partner lit up (figuratively and literally) the moment I showed him the order confirmation.

Ten long-filler, handmade cigars — rated as high as 95, apparently — all headed our way with free shipping. That’s $2 per cigar. I’ve seen him drop more than that on a single cup of coffee, so you don’t need to smoke cigars to know this is a no-brainer.

I asked him if this lineup was as good as the last one, and he just nodded while staring at the screen like it was the last piece of cake in the fridge. He’s the kind of guy who notices the construction of a cigar before even lighting it, so when he’s impressed, I take it seriously.

If you geek out, or have someone in your life who geeks out, over ring gauges and wrappers, this is one of those deals to hang your hat on. And if you’re just stocking up the stash so you can have more peaceful evenings on the porch while they smoke, well — this does the job.

Here’s the catch (and you knew there’d be one): it’s a one-per-customer deal, and the clock is ticking. This offer runs from March 26 through April 30, or until it sells out. And judging by how fast the last one disappeared, I wouldn’t sleep on this.

Cigar Page knows how to do a deal, and this Fab Collab proves it. Go ahead — make your cigar fan’s day. Or at least save them $80 while looking like a genius in the process.

Don’t ruin your cigars: here’s how to properly season a new humidor
Seasoning secrets every cigar lover could use

If you're a newcomer to the world of cigars or just bought a brand-new humidor, you'll need to season it. And no, I'm not saying to add salt and pepper to it. If you've never heard of it, you might ask, "What is seasoning for a humidor?"

Don't think you need to flavor the box or anything — seasoning is really about getting the wood inside your humidor so as not to rob your cigars of precious moisture. Easy to understand, and getting it done is relatively straightforward as well. The trick is figuring out the "why," and we'll get into that in a bit. But let's first discuss seasoning a humidor.

The NBA’s ultimate celebration tool: The victory cigar
A look at the players and coaches who smoke to celebrate

Sports are synonymous with celebration. After winning the biggest trophy of their lives, athletes want to indulge in the payoff that comes with seeing their dreams realized. Teams go into the locker room, where a waterfall of champagne hits them in the eyes, and swimming goggles seem to be a requirement, lest you walk around on the best night of your life half blind. While drinking is often the activity of choice after winning a championship, the NBA has an alternative symbol of greatness that other sports don't use nearly enough: the victory cigar.

Basketball is a team game, but it's also an individual canvas for solo superstardom. After winning an NBA championship, the coaches and players who sit atop the throne have long smoked a cigar in the locker room, during the parade, or even on the bench before the clock has hit zero. There's nothing quite like a good stogie to signify the ultimate win over the rest of the league, but how did the victory cigar get so ingrained in NBA championship celebrations? We want to take a walk down memory lane and look at some of the historical moments and people who made the cigar what it is within the NBA today.

The best medical shows of all time to binge now
From ER to The Pitt, these are the best medical shows ever made
Noah Wyle in the Pitt

Throughout TV's long history, the medical drama has occupied a somewhat unique place in the landscape. Medical shows are often some of the most reliable on TV precisely because there's so much drama built in to working in a hospital.

Personally, I've found the medical drama to be deeply comforting for years, even if I have no desire to be a doctor myself. Understanding the stress of people in the healthcare profession is fascinating in and of itself.
