[Dave1647545494]

Any tips/tricks for keeping cigars in humidors?

Noob question here, but what is it that gives the cigar it's flavor? Does it have anything to do with the leaf it's wrapped in? Or is it purely the tobacco? Or a combination of both?

It's a combination of the both.

Yes, but many (most?) people don't inhale cigar smoke, they draw it into their mouth and exhale for the taste. I think if you inhale an entire cigar it's like 5 or 10 cigarettes.

I only ever used to buy cigars for one reason and I always threw the tobacco part away

Well, it is my cousin and I have purchased 3 boxes in the past. They have Cuban Tax Stamp on the box.

 

I have purchased Cohibas (Robustos and Siglios) (spicy smoke, very oily wrapper) and some Romeo y Julietta.

 

tell me what you want and I can have them get them.

 

As far as cube's go, i'd like to split a box of 20 or 25.

 

I deffinately want ten, so whatever you guys want to do with the extra 10-15 is cool, we can whack it up.

 

as far as Cigars....

 

Size - i'd like something the size of a churchill or comparable. Say 6.5-7.5 inches long with a 50+ ring gauge.

 

Wrapper - The darker the better

 

Price - Let me know

 

Takers - We take the cigars, whack up the price, i want ten, you guys do what you want with the rest.

Any tips/tricks for keeping cigars in humidors?

 

Season it before you use it, let it sit 24 hours after you season it (before you use it).

 

Re-up the humidification devices once every two weeks, never over-wet them. Always use distilled water.

 

With good upkeep of a humidor, Cigars can last a lifetime!

I would do this and would like around 5-7. Please someone PM me on the details.

Do you keep the cigars in the wrapper or take them out? Also how do you make sure not to over-wet the device?

[Diamonds]

^^^ i take mine out of the wrappers and let then sit there "nude".

 

You make sure not to overhumidify them by waving them in a cracking-like motion to let water fly out of them until water doesnt come out.

Very nice ash there, must be quality cigars. Try an Acid, you'll love it.

 

Next time remove the lables after the first few minutes.

[Diamonds]

i keep the labels on until they need to be taken off!!!

 

ahha, just messing, no hate!

Want to hear the good part? Cancer of the mouth.

 

And you do exactly what to keep yourself healthy? You can't criticize others for doing things that are unhealthy if you don't necessarily do anything to try to be healthy (other than things you don't like to do anyways).

 

Haven't smoked a cigar for a while, which means it's about time. We should all get together somewhere and have some drinks and a smoke.

Not a big stand up fan. Anyways, quotes usually have these things " around them so someone can know it's a quote. I should have know that was too articulate for you to have written it.

The cigar shop in powell tends to carry a nice selection, aswell as smoke signals off sancus.

I like the fuente cigars personally, but did enjoy the Opus X's last time I had one.

[Dave1647545494]

you got any phillies in there? I always liked to roll up a nice titan

[Big A]

I just went to Smoke Signal today up at polaris(behind cheeseburger paradise) to check it out. They have a very nice, large selection in there. I ended up trying a Cusano M1. The guy suggested it as a "great, mild, cheap cigar." The size was a 6.5 x 42 but they had several different sizes all around the same price. For only being $3 it is what i would expect.

 

Any other good cheaper cigars to try next time?

[El Karacho1647545492]

Churchill's Cigar Shop at David P Ehlrich & Co. in Boston is the 2nd oldest smoke shop in the U.S. and is basically the best place I've ever been to have a smoke and a glass of wine. Walk in humidors are the shit.

[KillJoy]

I do not know how I missed this up until now..... but....

 

I enjoy Padron Fumas. VERY mild, natural, hand rolled from the scraps of the "big boys".

 

Also, an Acid Liquid was given to me by Hal...... VERY NICE! But the $$$

PS - The Fumas are CHEAP!!!!

Cusano 18 is in my top 5, and kinda inexpensive

 

 

My favorite smoke is the Maria Mancini Maduro, its like 4 bucks

 

Number two on my list is a Gurkha MAster Blender... they are about 10, but worth every penny

 

 

Also, i am a true believer of CAO, the Italia, Brazilia, and gold maduro are all perfect cigars in my book.
