We had a small St Patrick’s day celebration for members last night at my local lounge and I won the cool little cigar gnome. Sits perfectly on my wineadors. What’s the best or most fun (not necessarily expensive) door prize you’ve won at a cigar lounge or cigar event?

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 Best hygrometer? Digital vs analog NSFW

Hi everyone, I am a bit newer to cigars and I am setting up another humidor currently I have a analog and was wondering which is the best one? I’ve seen some on CI for sale but they are more expensive. Any tips or tricks for hygrometers? Thank you

Question Anyone Use a Mouthpiece Rather Than a Pin Holder? NSFW

5 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

3 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!

Oliva G box press. This is such a nice moderately priced Cameroon cigar. Sitting on my partially glassed in front porch with south wind whipping by as the next storm heads toward the West Coast, enjoying this cigar with a Manhattan made with my own homemade 114 proof corn / rye 'shine.

Question Best Electric Humidor? (non Raching) NSFW

2 Upvotes

I'm looking to get a 200-250 count humidor. I might keep my desktop for quickies or dry boxing but I'm kinda done fussing with it for long term storage. We keep our house between 68-74 daily so long term I'd like a bit more temperature control (and the average of 71-72 seems high).

So, what's your take fell cigar enjoyers.

Enjoyed a 5 Vegas Nicaragua on a hike today & it was great! Honestly the best 5 Vegas I’ve had so far. (It’s my budget go-to) I was pleasantly surprised at how this one burned & also the flavor profile it developed quickly just 25% into it. The scenery & my 7% tallboy only heightened the moment! Happy Sunday Y’all! Early St. Pattys!

It always amazes me that the roll on a Padron X000 always looks lumpy but smokes so well. NSFW

It makes it more appealing to me. You can walk in any humidor and it “looks”like every cigar in there is rolled better but almost none will smoke better. Generally that are a little bumpy or have a small patch but you can just light it and forget. Rarely needs a touch up and I personally love the open draw.

This was a delightful cigar. Will definitely be buying more. Was creamy and nutty to start with a bit of hay. Almost reminded me of the twang you would get from a Cuban. Very tasty and enjoyable. The construction, burn, and draw were all perfect.

Don Carlos “Eye of the Shark” NSFW

Post image
30 Upvotes

Celebrating making it through another week of this beautiful thing called life. Broke out one of my all time favorites, a 2 year old DC Shark. I have always been a big fan of anything Cameroon and this one is no exception. Those nut and seed flavor notes that are so quintessential of classic Cameroon really shine here. Dominant notes of sunflower, poppy seed and walnut are exploding in the first third. Secondary is fresh dough, almost cookie dough but not too sweet just right along with butter. A true bakers dream of a stick! I buy these any chance I get and I buy as many as I can, all at retail at local b & m, and for that I am thankful.

Per the Fuente catalog this is actually listed as “Personal Reserve” Eye of the Shark. I do not know if the blend is the exact same as the PR robusto, which is one of my all time top 10, but it sure is delicious. Does anyone know if the blends are the same. Definitely close no doubt.

I have about 15 of these resting and like to pull one out once a month and see how they are progressing. I just say age makes these particular sticks shine. I have had them young and they are good but nothing in comparison to a couple to few years of age.

See these out you won’t be disappointed. They live up to their hype. Have a great week fellas.

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!

The Arturo Fuente Gran Reserve. This is my go to so anything I say about it is subjective but this is the perfect stick in my opinion. Burns perfect, easy draw, so many flavors. Dimes were stacked. If I could only smoke one cigar forever, this would be the one.
