Try the Aquitaine version of the alt, knuckle dragger or anthropology. I liked them much better than the Cromagon. The Ecuador Habano wrapper does the trick.
Thanks for that link backslide. I just setup a dual zone wine cellar and get perfect RH with the unit off but not perfect enough for me when it's running. I know it's in the pinned doc, but this reminded me to go look. I ordered the pre-wired version and might also look into an oasis to keep...
Congrats Ashes and Derek as well. I thought I did my part answering that one question and expected an army of newbs to swarm in and answer the rest. I know how long it took me to find just that one, and CAN'T IMAGINE how much time you two put in on this contest!
I'm a little ashamed I didn't...
Good point on the RH of B&M shops. That's actually why I was buying in a B&M in the first place. I've gotten some good sticks recently online and in newbie trade, but I thought I should rest them before trying. I'd purchased a La Gloria Cubana from the same shop last month and smoked it same...
I know everyone's tastes are different, but I'm curious to hear about high dollar sticks that didn't live up to their price.
I'll admit up front, my selfish motive is so I can be sure to avoid them. I just had (started anyway) a Cohiba Extra Vigaroso XV 660 bought from a local B&M on my way...
I tried the Belicoso Liga 2 today. Either my palate changed that quick or it was much, much milder with less going on than the robusto. I had to retro hale to discern any favors at all. I'll try several more vitolas before passing final judgement.
Just an update. I'm a newbie so don't put much stock in my tastes, but today I smoked the No 2 from my MCW sampler pack which arrived last week. VERY IMPRESSED. Creamy, smooth smoke with no bitterness. Sort of like an AVO but with more character. Perfect burn and draw. Packaged professionally...
For what it's worth my experience using new heartfelt beads were that they appeared to remove humidity, especially once the cooler was fully sealed with rope caulk. As a newbie I built a coolerdor and was seasoning cedar planks at the same time I was storing cigars. I had a half pound of beads...
