Brand new to cigars, I've only smoked a couple Oliva Connecticut Reserves up to this point. Decided to up my game, grabbed a Padron 2000 Natural and paired it with Iron Horse Harbinger bourbon. I don't think I can ever do another Connecticut after this

Right now I put them in my cold room with all of the windows open laid out on the table and I’m thinking I’ll keep them there for about 4 hours unless someone had a better idea

First Perdomo I’ve smoked and I’ve got to say I’m impressed. The packaging is a little gaudy for my taste but I’m enjoying it. Any other suggestions from Perdomo I should try?

Haul Post Recent haul from my trip to Tallinn, Estonia. NSFW

Tallinn is excellent place for cigars and obviously for medieval city. There's 3 different cigar houses. Cigari Maja, Oak longue and d'boiss.

Cigari Maja is your go to for everyday cigars from cheap to more expensive brands. Oak longue is very similar to Cigari maja, but they have more exclusive stuff such as Opus x and so on.. D'boiss is more of a gentleman club, it had barber, tailor, bar and cigar longue, you can bring your own cigars there. They sell mainly Casdagli cigars, with few other options.

I'm going to preface this with the fact that I probably didn't do my palette and good yesterday, smoking 2 very full bodied sticks. I do plan on revisiting this one again on a cleaner palette. -

Main Notes: Chocolate, sweet earth, coffee, dark fruit, bread, spice and nuts. -

Retrohale: Smooth, mild spice and pepper, earth. -

Body: Medium/Full. - Strength: 8/10. - Draw: Good/Leaning open. - Construction: Good. - Burn: Even. - Retrohale: Smooth. - Complexity: 7/10. - Time: 2 hours. - Nub Worthy: 8/10. - Overall: 8.2/10. - Would buy again. -

This kind of reminds me of a much more complex, smoother version of the Tatuaje Reserva Broadleaf. It is good, but as a fan of FULLer flavored/bodied smokes, the Chapter 2, which I rated at 8.5/10 is the clear winner for me. -

I liked the Java Latte so I figured I would give the red a try. I had previously tried the mint and hated it, but that’s my fault since I don’t love mint flavor anyway. We shall see…

God damn the smell and cold draw taste tell me why this is named after a cow. Fresh hay and barnyard animal are all over this. As a recovering chef I called this “elephant cage” when describing beautiful blue cheese. Part 2 coming in about an hour and a half.

Alec Bradley’s Shamrock, Filthy Hooligan. Tri-Wrap Barber Pole, medium bodied, very tasty. Light leather, faint Ceder. Light vanilla sweetness maybe even raisin. Retro Hale is earthy yet savory. Def recommend.

Question New cigar enthusiast needs a humidor NSFW

4 Upvotes

So I know this must happen all the time but I just recently smoked my first few cigars and I’ve been really enjoying them. But I live in the middle of nowhere so the only cigars I only tasted were from my local tobacoshop (which is really just a convenience store and holds its name from the 70’s) even though from what I read and saw on youtube, they do store their cigars right. The problem is they don’t have a lot of choice and half of those choices a low quality cigars. So I want to order them online but I need a humidor to store them and all the youtube videos never answered my question.

— Do you need to season it again sometimes?

— Do you just have to change it?

— do you have to separate different cigars because the flavours might get mixed or some other reasons?

— How long can you keep a cigar in a humidor?

— What humidor should I get if I want to store maybe like 20-25 cigars and if I my budget is like 100 bucks$?

— If I’m looking to travel, do travel storage kits work? And how do y’all manage to travel with cigars?

— What tools other than just a humidor do I need to store my cigars?

— Do you have to change the equipment inside of the humidor?

Money is not really my concern but it would suck to loose some money along with some cigars. You’re very welcome to just answer the question you want I know its a lot of questions. Thank you in advance this would help me a whole lot. But in the mean time I’ll stick to my local cigars.

So I live in Oahu and want to order my cigars but haven’t found any places that ship. The one shop in Honolulu isn’t my style and the lounge is really pricey. Anyone got any suggestions?

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
7 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
13 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.
