I like the strawberry rillos. They make a very nice blunt.

 

[Taggart]

Pretty much whatever shitty ones are available at the gas station

Padron's are nice. How is the Nicaraguan?

Very flavorful and bold. Not for the faint of heart...

I prefer peach White Owls, myself.

When I play golf, I want to smoke an 80x7.

unfortunately, these are becoming less popular. Any opinions on which of the remaining brands are the best?

I like to call that stick my Monica Lewinsky.

I had this special edition Nicaraguan cigar 15 yes ago. It was rectangular and dark green.

Quarter way in, man was I fucked up. Kicked my ass. Wow

But because I paid so much for it, I kept coming back to it....lol

 

[RollyInRaleigh]

This was is a very rich Maduro...and packed with flavor...but you don’t want to be smoking it outside on a hot and humid Carolina evening...

 

[RollyInRaleigh]

The Oliva is definitely a favorite of mine now...rich...flavorful...and not over the top.

 

[lowmanfan]

This was about two years ago. Much fuller now.

 

[Rebarcock.]

Is that a Monica?

Sweet. Which is your fav?

Really hard to say. I have cubans dated in the 1980's that are great and I have Dominicans from last year that are just as good.

Well aged Cuban's from the 80's sound incredible.

We collect wine and have a few older bottles, so I greatly appreciate the undertaking to mature those cigars. However, that seems much harder and laborious.

Is there a big difference in an aged cigar?

Generally, most cuban cigars are boxed within 12 months of harvest so they might need more time to get the "ammonia" out of the tobacco. Time and proper care of the cigars allow the flavors to mature and settle. Often I will smoke one off the truck, make notes on flavor profile and then do the same thing after a year of rest to see how things might have changed, good or bad. Nothing scientific, of course.

Hey what's the reasoning for keeping them at 65.5f w/humidity at 74%?

Guessing each cigar would be individually wrapped in plastic aye?

And if not, wouldn't this environment risk mould growth?

Only asking coz I'm using about 7 or 8 of the exact same hygrometers set up throughout multiple indoor grow environments. I'd be concerned if they indicated relative humidity saturation above 50% because it'd only take mere hours for major mould issues to begin, eg: bud rot, etc.

Also been cultivating Virginia & Burley tobacco crops-(*outdoors)-for over a decade.
Seems to grow well in NZ soils, although illegal to produce for commercial sale, but idgaf.
Usually just give it away, however I've amassed a considerable stock pile which is simply compressed & stored in large boxes out in a garage at a relative humidity kept below 50%.

Still got stacks that're over 10years old now and it's still perfectly fine as spit & for smoking as cigarettes, pipe, cigar or blunt wraps-(*after the appropriate curing processes)

After curing, I just seal it all in glass jars and chuck 'em in a freezer.
Including my amateurish cigars, which ain't as fancy as the one's ya buy at tobacconist, but still decent enough. They're smokable straight outta the freezer too.
Dunno but I'd absolutely avoid storing any tobacco or bud @50+% rel/hum coz it will definitely begin developing mould.

Go to is a Padron 3000 Maduro. Need to get my wineador back up and going and we'll stocked

Does that mean you haven't a clue about your preferred consumable product?

If so, are you not then wholly dependent upon others for the provision thereof?

Personally I prefer self reliance and producing my own resources for consumption—which requires gaining knowledgeability thereof the subject.

In the event shtf, I would have an abundance of this particular resource. I'd be able to produce it indefinitely,...profitting from supplying consumers,... possibly like yourself mr Nole.

Would you be forced to barter with/or perhaps attempt to rob a source producer like old Un-dreeeeeeeeeee?

Either way I'd still give ya fair trade, though ya would need to survive if choosing the latter attempt and then also coughing up a failed theft tax,... I'm thinking the surrender of all your shit to me, plus forfeiture of at least one half limb. Seems fair aye.
