Ah, but how does it make you feel? Or is harshness, infact, indicative of nicotine content?

Mephiston, which Fuente ones do you mean? Thanks Augie754, some good stuff there, and Treamayne, "It is notable that many strong cigars will advertise their use of the Ligero leaf, and for you that would be an instant "too strong" message. (eg: La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel) However...

45%! Whoa! That sucks. I'm not down with intentionally increasing the nicotine if the palatability of the cigar remains great without it. Interesting info, thanks! SFG75, Las Cabrillas is now definately on my list of not to try. I realize that there is also a market for stronger...

Thanks for the advice on the sugar packets. I have also read that certain supplements can speed the elimination of nicotine, such as Spirulina, Aged Kyolic Garlic Extract, Barleygrass or Wheatgrass, etc. Thank you for the suggestions of the ones from my list you have tried and others too. I...

In the mean time, I am pretty sure that I have read and/or heard that too. But I am not sure where, though it may have been people's experience... The too green/young/improperly aged/cured theory makes sense to me. I am not hoping to come across a cigar like that! See, I don't smoke often...

Yes! A suggestion! Sounds alright, from one of the first Google results, "is a full flavor cigar with which is mild in strength." Thank ye kindly, and if anyone has anymore to name, or my questions about aging, etc., to answer, that would be great. Gracias, merci, danke, thank you. ;)

Alright. I then pose the question: "What is a good cigar that has some good taste, but less of a kick?" As for the so and so stick that really kicked my butt, the only kind I have tried was a Montecristo No. 4, and I would have to say that I was fine, I felt slightly thrown off perhaps, but...

Wow, a response! Heh. Thanks for answering, and by all means, if any more people experienced with this can join in and answer too, I would much appreciate it! Thanks!

Hey everyone, a couple of questions for you. In this case, my number of posts here is reflective of the fact that I am a cigar newbie, so: Can nicotine levels and flavor/aroma/depth/character in a cigar be exclusive of eachother? Is it possible to have a cigar without a high level of nicotine...

Ah, I was just pondering the same thing too...Because, as I said in another thread, my humidifiers sponge (Oasis) system I guess is not doing well, but because the casing for it is mounted on the inside of the lid and looks good there, it would be neat to be able to keep it there, but try using...

Heh. I already did. Ya know, it's just like, I don't always like it when new, nice looking things get dinged/torn up/scratched right away. If I can't resist trying and I have some luck fixing it, I'll let you guys know how it went. BTW, I may need some other source of humidification for it...

Thanks kindly!

Hello everyone, first post here in what seems a forum of people knowledgable about these kinds of things. So here goes. I just got my first humidor, nothing fancy, just plain nice dark finished wood on the outside, spanish cedar on the inside, with a movable cedar divider. It came with a...
