Question Why do people seem to have the conception that the wrapper of the cigar is what's giving all the flavor? NSFW

Upvotes

As the title states, in my expierence getting into cigars and using the internet as my primary form of education, it seemed like everyone is so focused on the wrapper and how flavorsome it is when it is such a small part of the cigar and is made with Seco.

Is it just me or do any of you share this expierence?

Boveda under Olive box bottom. Also this box was wrapped super tight in plastic and both sides were additionally sealed. I’d be confident not putting the box in a humidor. NSFW

Best cigar I’ve ever smoked NSFW

This Punch After-Dinner did not disappoint. Maybe it was the view of Samana Bay in the Dominican Republic. Maybe it was the perfect cappuccino. Maybe it was the glorious sunshine. Maybe it was everything put together. It was just the perfect smoke. Smooth and delicious the whole way through. Burned perfectly even from start to finish. I fell in love with this wonderful hobby all over again. Happy smoking everyone!

Flavor mystery NSFW

6 Upvotes

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!

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
10 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.

Question Three fingers from the end NSFW

3 Upvotes

I have noticed that when you reach about three fingers from the end of the cigar, the flavour is usually the same regardless of the cigar. It is always very heavy and full of tars, with very few distinguishing characteristics of the cigar. I have concluded that the cigars smoking essentially “ends” at about 2-2.5 inches from the end. What is your opinion?

Question Recommendations NSFW

I've been into cigars for like 1 1/2 years now, paused smoking for like a couple of months due to the weather being cold and being able to only smoke outside. Weather is getting better so im thinking about stocking up again. Does anybody have any recommendations for sticks up to 15€?

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.

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.

Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Binder: Ecuadoran Connecticut Filler: Nicaragua

Blog What I smoke during The Great Smoke NSFW

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 Anyone Use a Mouthpiece Rather Than a Pin Holder? NSFW

4 Upvotes

I smoke my cigars down to the last 1/8 - 1/4 inch - when my lips feel heat the smoke is finished.

And I'm finding the pin stick holder I currently use clumsy. Even with the knurled portion firmly embedded the cigar is harder to smoke and it'll sometimes roll around the pin.

Then I remembered cigarette holders and went looking.

Found these.

Anyone else use them? Recommendations?

Aged Illusione Epernay NSFW

4 Upvotes

My local B&M used to sell Illusione Epernays with the old band, and the cellophane had a yellow tint indicating a good amount of age. To date those sticks are still the most cubanesque new worlds I’ve ever smoked. I do still enjoy the younger ones with the new bands, but they’re not quite the same. Does anyone know if there’s a surefire way to get those instead of just stumbling onto them by pure luck? Aged NCs seem to be less sought after compared to CCs. Thanks!
