    Today’s Smoke 2019

    Scored about 20 of those in maduro once from JR for $1.50 a stick. My neighbor still misses them. Solid smoke

    Today’s Smoke 2019

    Breaking my own rules. Never say never boys. Forever is a long time. That said, it was a gift.

    Must have budget sticks

    A significant addendum to the above advice for newbies: if you don't keep your temp and your RH below 70/70, the beetles will get you and it all would have been for naught.

    Must have budget sticks

    I just want to hit this twice as hard for any newbies that might be reading this thread in the future (not directed at you Vachon): listen to this man. Your tastes will change. Money you throw at boxes fresh out of the gate will be wasted. Don't buy the marketing gimmick NC samplers that big...

    Must have budget sticks

    Fair enough. There is definitely a time and a place for cheapies. I smoke them on the boat, floating down the river, or any situation that offers less than full enjoyment. And it's good to have a supply for people with no real interest in cigars other than when you're smoking one. Do them a...

    Must have budget sticks

    You're getting good advice from people in a position to know (FOGs). But as someone that has gone down similar roads in the past due to budget limitations I have a couple of suggestions. First, don't commit to boxes of anything NC right now even if you like it, it's a waste of money. Hook up...

    Rh for storing vs ready to smoke

    By the way the RH values above assume temps 70°F or less.

    Rh for storing vs ready to smoke

    I'll save Tom the trouble and state that you'll have to experiment with the smoke ready RH based on the climate you live in, your palate and the marcas you favor. CCs are usually kept a bit dryer than NCs, but you can hardly go wrong with 68-69 as a starting point for LTS. I keep my modest stash...

    Favorite Cigar Brand(s)?

    Being a sucker for Cameroons, I gotta go with Don Carlos Reserve. There are a ton of quality NC lines right now, never been better in my opinion.

    Zippo? VS Butane

    The light-before-cutting method with a 1 minute rest prior to the cut prevents ignition taint, in my experience. A brief purge under flame provides added insurance as long as the foot is not over heated, making this extra maneuver potentially risky for the novice. It's probably better to rest...

    Top Cuban Cigars by Year

    I don't really belong in this thread, but I do know that an '09 RASS I obtained from Kris and smoked in 2015 was f----ing phenomenal. You guys have any thoughts on the quality of RASS over the years, recent releases in particular? If they're even close to the '09 I smoked I need to start laying...
