What are you smoking or What do you enjoy smoking (Pipe & Cigar Thread)

[fullmetaljesus]

The weather is getting nicer.

Do we want to try for an ingoer cigar night at a cigar establishment again?

I'd say any day the week of the 26th.

I'm down for just about any place

Cigar night sounds great

Lately Ive been smoking CAO flavors cigarillos. Handy when I dont have the time or dont want to take the time to smoke a full sized cigar. Also fairly cost effective.

I've had those before. I think maybe it was called moon shot or trace. Blue band. Not a bad smoke.

What do y'all think about Nicki blaine's on the evening of the 30th or the 29th to avoid the weekend crowd?

I enjoy the Irish Cream and cannot think of the other for the life of me. Tasty though

Never been in Nicki’s so would be an excuse to explore

Just has some friends tell me they want to get together on Fri so how about we all meet up on Thursday?

Any takers? Say 6:30-7pm?

Had a monte Cristo last night.
Always a fine smoke. Not sure why I don't smoke them more often.

Last week some friends and I went to blend in castleton. Can't say I was impressed. It was a bit too swanky for me and they only had davidoff cigars. And the selection wasn't all that great. I have more variety in my cabinet humidor than they do in their walk in.

Now I know it's called "blend by davidoff"
So I should expect to see their brand in the humidor. However "burn by rockey petal" downtown has rockey cigars but also padron and I think kristoff. The point being they have many of the heavy hitters not just their own.

My fav so far is Nicki blaine's, burn is pretty alright, and I don't need to go back to blend. Just wasn't my scene.

I would like too but work and life in general has had me pretty much sidelined at the moment. Having to just enjoy my few sticks a week on the deck.

Yea I'm not much for those types of cigar bars. They over priced food, drinks, sometimes cigars too. I did want to try Havana but haven't gotten around to it. But I suspect it is way overpriced and uppity for my taste. Nicky blaines is cool atmosphere if I feel like dressing it up a bit and going out. Just wish it wasn't downtown.

I found a pretty good deal on Holt’s Cigars website. It’s called their Mystery Bag. 10 cigars for $24.95. I’ve ordered several times. You get good sticks. I’ve gotten Camacho, Davidoff, My Father, Punch, CAO etc. Excellent value and it’s kinda fun not knowing what’s coming. I just had 110 cigars show up today (11 Mystery bags). Very pleased. Go check them out. Just type the word MYSTERY in the search box. A lot of times they are sold out but they have some right now. Hope this helps someone.

I've been stocking up all winter and gotten to smoke some the last couple weeks.

Still loving the Olive MB3s, and been enjoying Perdomo Champagne and DE Nasty Fritas lately.

Bought a pack of cigars from cigar bid based solely on the fact I thought the ring looked cool.

It was a very easy and light smoke.
Prob good for beginners or people who don't want to chew the smoke.

Had a heart sinking Discovery last week.
Opened a drawer pulled out a monte Cristo.

Walked out to the sun porch, punched it then set to light it. And I noticed something we all work hard to avoid.

Small beginnings of mold. I went back to the humidor. Checked the drawer. 5 monties all with mold on the tip.


I inspected them all and the drawers near them. I think it was just those. I have been checking in on them all since to ensure it didn't spread.

It wasn't easy pitching those 6 amazing cigars. I guess that give me a reason. To buy another box to replace them

Whats ur humidity and temp showing? Sucks you had to lose those cigars.

The humidor typically lives around 70/70.

I had a few get over humid bc they were closest to the humidifier. So I had to shuffle some things around and lower the humidity to try and get it all to level out

65 RH and sub 70 deg Temps, you will never turn back! No mold, better flavor, more even burns, no relights.

I had a beetle outbreak in my humidor last month. Started getting that popping sound a couple times on every cigar. I moved what was left into my small cheap humidor and wiped the big one out with damp paper towel. Refilled it then with new cigars. So far no recurrence in it.

Yea, um just working to get it be a bit more consistent. Top is low bottom is high.

Might add a couple humi pa ks in the top to try and get it even

Mine don't seem to last long enough in the humidor to run into such things I guess....LOL
