I smoke about 3 cigars a week.

 

The kuba kuba is very tasty, Very well made, and the aroma is very nice...

 

but it's deffinitely a novelty cigar. A cigar that you start out smoking because its easy to get ahold of and sweet. Almost liek the transition from black and milds to real cigars.

 

Deffinitely a good tasting smoke, it just doesn't taste like a cigar.

I just smoked a Maria Guerrero today, must say i was more than unhappy with it. It was packed too tight and was very hard to get a good draw. Also i was having a hard time keeping it lit and it was burning very uneven. The flavor of it changed with each draw, and was not consistant at all.

OK, and for this...

 

Someone PM'd me about cigars that they hadnt humidified... i figure i'd post this up for the commonwealth of anyone else hwo may want to know.

 

 

Hey,

 

I've got a couple of cigars sitting around. They've both been sitting around for about a year or so; is smoking them now a no-no or is there a way to bring them back to that "somewhat" moist state?

 

Definite NONO

 

Those are dried to all hell. They wll not be enjoyable...

 

to save them, do this.

 

Freeze them for 2 days (to kill off any tobacco beetle larve)

 

then, you need to put them in a humidot, actually, more than a humidor, you need to wetbox them, do you have a humidor?

 

if not, you need to take a plastic container that seals well and take DISTILLED WATER (or they will grow mold) and soak it into a bleach-free paper towel. then set the paper towel next to BUT NOT TOUCHING the cigars and leave them there for a long time.

 

the only way to really know if they are getting good humidity is to by a hygrometer. These can be had at a local cigarshop for less than 10 bucks.

 

to re-animate dry cigars... you need to get them up to 75-77 percent humidity (As opposed to 67-70 for regular smokes).

 

You need to leave them in this container at 75+ humidity until they are nice and soft again...

 

then, just smoke and enjoy
