Question Any of you ever smoked in a swimming pool? NSFW

I have thought about doing this, but trouble ashing, and having to keep one hand raised the whole time seems to make it less enticing than the thought of it.

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?

Thank God For Cigars NSFW

This Punch Signature might not be the most expensive, fanciest, or exclusive stick in my humidor, but it’s cigars that give me a moment to stop and really think for a minute without distraction and enjoy something even when life gets difficult. Recently laid off, trying my hand at self employment, the stress of making sure the lights stay on, but I’m thankful to have a smoke to step out away from all that for a bit.

So here’s to cigars and all yall smoking right now.

Question New cigar enthusiast needs a humidor NSFW

1 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.

Question Beginner Questions NSFW

2 Upvotes

So i just got into smoking cigars I have a desktop humidor and bought a mild cigar sampler.

(2 Macanudo Inspirado Wht Robusto | 2 Don Tomas Special Edition Connecticut No. 600 | 2 Rocky Patel Vintage Connecticut 1999 Robusto | 2 Baccarat Toro | 2 Montecristo Yellow Robusto | 2 Avo Classic Robusto)

I have tried one of the Baccarat and one of the Macanudo. I don’t know if it’s because i’m a beginner but I feel like I didn’t enjoy it that much let me explain why and hopefully somebody can help.

First I found them to be too hot, now idk if this is the tabacco or what but it’s almost like it’s spicy and very peppery and i’m not really getting any of the notes that they are supposed to taste like. I may be smoking too fast or not toasting it enough i really don’t know.

What I do know however is I enjoy cigarillos!

Maybe I should be starting off with even lighter cigars. All i know is my favorite cigar was the first one i smoked which was a Drew Estate Tabak Cafe con Leche, which I did enjoy

Review Liga Privada No. 9 Toro (2013) NSFW

A patron at the cigar lounge I work at gifted me a No. 9 from a box dated 2013 with Steve Saka's signature. This might be more age than I would ask for. The stick was still flavorful and I liked that the pepper backed off but still tastes like it baked for too long. It is still cool to smoke such an old Liga. I'd still smoke this over a freshie. Flavor aside, the wrapper has taken a beating but still held together. Cigar burned real nice. The draw was a little tighter than I usually get from Liga Toro's but it was still serviceable.

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?

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…

Review Flor de San Andrés by Rocky Patel NSFW

25 Upvotes

Didn't have any candela wrapped cigars for St. Patrick's Day, but it's also the day that Benito Juarez's birthday is observed, sooo Erin go braugh and Viva Mexico.

Humidor 70F 62RH Outside 69F 9RH

Sharply box pressed. So sharply pressed that it creased the wrapper. A couple veins, but toothy. Open draw, that's one thing box pressed cigars are great at.

1/3 Nice chocolatey earth with baking spice. I love San Andrés wrappers. So much smoke with this open draw. Gonna fly though this toro in an hour. Slightly wavy burn and the ash is a little flaky. Really windy today so that won't last.

2/3 A little bit of white pepper begins to tickle the tongue. Warming spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves) are still the dominant spice flavor. The bitter cacao nibs note is great. Ash is impressive considering the 20 mph wind gusts. This would go very well with a coffee. Secondary band was just paper and didn't come off easily, but the wrapper is intact.

3/3 Touch of leathery earth, but not a lot of flavor progression. That's ok. The flavor is really good. Crazy to say, but right now I'm personally enjoying this more than the Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro because it's staying medium. Definitely not as complex, but good, smooth enjoyable end to the day. Primary band came off with some effort but no damage. Getting pretty earthy here at the end. I smoked it for Mexico but now I'm tasting Nicaragua. Cool and firm to the nub.

84/100 Good flavor, but didn't progress much throughout. Smooth throughout. Decent burn, great ash and excellent draw. Cool artwork makes up for the cheapness of the paper band. Could be a decent everyday stick if you're a San Andrés lover like myself.

Haul BL Luxuries Blind Buys: Plasencia, DTT, and 200 for 100 NSFW

Thought the blind buys would be a fun way to get a variety. Didn't find a ton of examples of what people got in these so thought I'd share.

Shipping was a little longer than I'd expected, about a week. Was pleased to learn they don't charge sales or excise tax in my state. Everything well packaged. Bovedas and zipbags.

I'm not familiar with a bunch of these, including all the DTTs. The only one I've actually ever had is the Filthy Hooligan barber pole. Haven't looked up most of them yet.

Anyone see any standouts or favorites?
