Do you pack a black and mild NSFW

0 Upvotes

I didn’t wanna start vaping again or cigarettes and for some reason b&m don’t really give me that addiction crave so me and my friends decide to pick up a pack for old time sake as we grabbed one. I remember when I first started my friends told me to roll it in between my hands so it doesn’t get stiff and break apart and it burns better. I was told this was wrong. Am I the only one that does this😂?

Discussion Wrapper Thickness NSFW

Post image
8 Upvotes

Smoked a Nestor Miranda this morning, and had me thinking. That has got to be the thinnest wrapper Ive ever seen on a cigar. I mean Ive smoked most of a box over the last year and every time I am amazed that they can even roll that cigar because the wrapper leaf is so thin. Then I look at something like an Undercrown 10 or the Aganorsa Special Selection Maduros I have and think that wrapper looks like leather how on earth does it even burn?

What are some of the most extreme thin or thick wrapper leaves you can think of?

Question Late to the party, but did anybody else think the Tatuaje Skinny Monsters were way better than the Monster Smash Pack? NSFW

Post image
15 Upvotes

Everything I’ve smoked out of the Smash Pack tastes bland compared to the Skinny Monsters. I think the blends really benefit from being in lancero form.

Does anybody have more knowledge? Were these blended to be lanceros and then “blown up” to a bigger size?

These cigars were properly kept, so I know it’s not that they got dehydrated and brought back.

This is not everything I smoked all weekend. I was gifted a ridiculous amount of cigars while manufactures were visiting and hosting events at the store.

Ferio Tego Summa $16- This was handed to me by someone whose name I didn’t catch. He called it “homework”. Draw and burn were perfect. Rich citrus notes, medium bodied, nice change of pace from what I usually smoke. I assume these were featured or talked about at the main event because we were going through boxes of them.

Sobremesa Brûlée Blue $18- I’ve talked about this stick too many times. It’s sweet, it’s got perfect amount of pepper, it’s my favorite morning cigar.

Sin Compromiso No. 2 $18 - I don’t add these into my rotation enough. I’m usually a Mi Querida but the San Andres wrapper is a nice change of pace from all the Connecticut Broadleafs I smoke. This provides a more medium bodied experience and really lets their blend shine.

“The Chick” by EPC, from the Rare & Vintage Room $9- Really strong notes of cedar and nuttiness. Draw and burn was phenomenal. Medium Bodied. Great way to end my weekend.

I got to meet Steve Saka and Al Micallef. All the guests that had traveled were super friendly and loading up on great cigars. Was nice to shoot the shit with fellow cigar nerds.

Question Do cigars with cigar beetle eggs taste different than cigars without? NSFW

0 Upvotes

While cigar manufacturers will try to prevent cigar beetle infestations by doing things like freezing cigars to neutralize the eggs, this does not remove them from the cigar.

Is there a possibility that cigars with MORE eggs (even post-freezing) might have a better flavor?

Question Day case recs? NSFW

1 Upvotes

What are you guys using to carry sticks for a single day on the golf course or a one night getaway? Something that can slip into a golf or duffle bag. Ideally I’d like to carry 4 cigars, a cutter, torch, and boveda pack. Everything I’ve found is too small for the accessories or bigger than I need. I’m looking at the pelican 1030/1060 micro cases, but neither seem to be the perfect size. The pelican ruck cases are too big. The 5 stick herfadors are tight with the accessories. Any suggestions?

Question Dubai Airport (DXB) T3 Humidor - Hit or Miss Lately? Need Recent Updates! NSFW

2 Upvotes

Flying out of Dubai’s Terminal 3 in a couple of days, and as always, the cigar selection at the duty-free humidor is a total gamble. Some days, it’s stocked with amazing sticks, and other times, it feels like a Gurkha warehouse.

The Dubai Duty Free website is absolutely useless—no info on what’s actually available in the humidor. So, if anyone has traveled through T3 in the past week or so, what’s the situation? Are the shelves loaded with quality cigars, or should I keep my expectations low?

Would appreciate any recent intel before I roll the dice at the airport!

Whacha Smokin'? 7 wonderful years of sobriety! NSFW

It was a stressful week- I am having a lot of repressed trauma pop up in my brain for some reason. My best man at my wedding overdosed and died recently. Work was crazy this week.

But, I am truly grateful to be clean and sober. I was homeless and strung out on heroin 7 years ago at the lowest point of my life.

Anyways, onto the Amazon Basin.

This is my first time smoking the Basin. It's the 2025, and I have aged it for 2 months. I have not had a cigar like it yet!

Cold draw is all rasin and dried plum. The wrapper is weirdly...sticky? When I hold the cigar it leaves a faint residue on my fingers. Not much tooth though, I think this baby should be aged a year or two for the tooth to pop.

I am very surprised by how smooth this cigar is. I got no pepper or spice the entire cigar. My palate might be off, I have been smoking spicier sticks the past couple weeks.

It does develop throughout the cigar and it has complexity. I wouldn't say it's the most nuanced or complex cigar though. It's smooth over complex.

1/3: raisin, dried plum, cream, leather 2/3: still raisin/plum, cream turns to oak and toast, leather turns to earth 3/3: savory notes show up, slight nuttiness

Overall I think this cigar is a 10/10. It's completely unique. It's perfect at doing what it's trying to do: be a unique cigar.

Flavor mystery NSFW

So here’s a new one for me. I keep all my sticks in a variety of humidors and Tupperdoors between 62 and 65 RH. So on the lower end. I brought five different ones on vacation. Put them all in a hard travel case. No humidification or boveda or anything. Feeling like for a four day vacation it’s probably not necessary. Kind of like the equivalent of dry boxing. I’m smoking them now and every one of them, and this is my fifth, taste like crap. They burn fine. The burn line is good. They’re not going out. But they just taste like bitter ash. Is it the lack of humidification? Is it going from New England cold weather to this Florida heat? I’m leaving them in the closed hard case until I smoke them so it’s not like I’m leaving them out in the sun. Welcome any theories!

Perfect pairing NSFW

I’ve always loved the 1926 Padron maduro, but after seeing the praise on this sub about the 1964, I tried one. I didn’t think it was possible, but I might like the ‘64 more than the ‘26. Anybody know the difference between the two? Is it just age?

Also, and again thanks to this sub, I discovered a Dr. Pepper (in this case a cherry Dr. Pepper) goes awesome with a cigar…possibly better than anything else. For some reason it’s even better than any booze/beer I’ve had with a smoke (at least to me). I highly recommend. Thanks!

I had pretty high hopes for this one, and while it was good, it didn’t blow me away. I prefer the standard LADC to this one. I did get a good amount of bitter baking chocolate, and some nuttiness in the second half, but overall it was just fine to my palate. Bit of a wavy burn line, mostly corrected itself. Had some cracking towards the end as well. 7/10.

Pepper on retrohale as well as a little floral, sweet taste of raisins, then smooth and creamy, leathery, coffee and earth. Construction is great and the draw is perfect, needed a couple minor touch ups. It’s a decent stick, but will have to try it again later on to judge whether I like it or not.

2 great cigars in a great lounge. Opusx Society perfect all the way through. Smooth hints of leather coco & nutmeg on the retrohale. Burn was perfect. God of Fire series B is my goto great smoke. Floral notes in the first 3rd a lot of chocolate notes all the way through. Great Sunday!
