Cigars

Do yourself a favor don't just buy for value. Instead buy a boveda pack https://bovedainc.com and put the cigars and the pack in a tight sealing Tupperware. This is a foolproof way to store them. When you figure out the size of the humidor and the style along with cost then buy one. https://www.cheaphumidors.com has good stuff. You don't want one with glass or a built in hygrometer. (trust me I have been doing this along time). You can google coolerdor as well and learn of another way to store cigars. I use a wine refrigerator and had Spanish cedar shelves built for it. I guess my biggest point is don't be in a rush.

 

I ended up going with this one since it has good reviews and sure seal technology.

Ok I stepped up the price a bit $20 cigar. The cashier Jessica was very happy about my choice. I will say this thing smells amazing, like cedar, honey, maybe some hay.

Drew Estate Liga Privada T52

Cant wait to smoke this after dinner.

 

I will get or build something better soon. I am trying to close on a house so after I get settled and build my mancave I will incorporate a nice one into it.

 

About to head to the cigar shop does anybody have a suggestion?

 

Partagas black

 

Loved these when I first started smoking cigars. were pretty cheap until Drew estates seemed to get better known, then the price went up pretty steep. My go to now is something from the Rocky Patel line.

 

Leaf by Oscar, CT or Kristoff Cameroon

 

Had the same one. I can say I agree with the earlier poster, get a solid box versus one with glass. The glass ones look great but I was losing humidity due to looks. But for now it’ll do!

 

Order was screwed up anyway so I will find a solid one. Thanks for the info.

 

DM me your info if you want, holding true to my word! Old Fashioned Donut from EzraZion will be on the way!

 

I am looking into building one from a wine cooler.

 

I will definitely do that I just need to get a humidor since Amazon screwed up my order I will find on tomorrow and hit you with the info when it arrives. I would hate for it to get here and have no way to store it.

 

Just picked up a Rose of Sharon by Southern Draw. I hear good things.

 

WOW!

Just ordered this, for $25 after tax and shipping it couldn't hurt to try it especially for just a temporary humidor until I close on the house.

 

Back in 1998, I met Rocky Patel down in Honduras. Hurricane Mitch slammed CentAm pretty hard. It devastated the Dole fruit plantations and the tobacco plantations. We were down there doing SAR and Uncle Sugar stuff and come to find out he was doing the same thing for his folks on his tobacco plantations. Anyway that was where me and my brother developed our routine of burning an Indian Tabac Madura every night while we were away from home. Damn shame, they haven't made Indians since 2015.

 

La Nox by La Flor Dominicana on the menu tonight. Has a strange smell but I hear it tastes like blueberries. I will update you on that later.

 

I'd be interested to hear about that one. I had the vanilla bean one years ago and it was really enjoyable.

 

Vanilla Bean? I need to find that one!

 

Halfway through, the first half was sweet with a hint of blueberries subtle though, also a hint of pepper, good draw, lots of smoke, and a nice slow burn so far.

 

Wow this is one to get more of for sure! Last 3rd, the pepper is gone, blueberries still subtle, but I've nailed down the sweetness it gets stonger....
MARSHMSLLOWS! great cigar.

 

Did I mention the marshmallows!?

 

THIS GUY RIGHT HERE! Are you a pro???!!!

 

Not in the slightest. I do have a good pallet though. Also this cigar was just that good.

 

Relax bro, was joking...

 

I am relaxed, I knew you were joking. That cigar just blew my mind. It was exciting.

 

Good! It is always great to find one of those that leaves a lasting impression.

 

Humidor has officially shipped! I've actually been hearing good things about this deal from cigarsinternational.com for 10 cigars and a humidor for $19.99. Been seeing reviews that say both the cigars and humidor are of good quality.
