For the first time, I got a complaint from my neighbors about cigar smoking! ???
I did everything as I usually do...a window open in the next room, an exhaust fan in the smoking room, a vanilla candle burning for extra odor cover. Done it dozens of times and never heard of peep...you couldn't even smell on the other end of the room! (this is true, I tested with my girlfriend who abhors the smell of tobacco, she couldn't smell outside the door or on the opposite end of the same room!)
So what made this time different?
I was smoking a non-Cuban! :laugh:
Most everytime I've smoked inside it's been a Havana, with an occassional NC Hoyo de Monterrey. The other night, it was a Padron 2000 Maduro. I did notice then that, as I smoked, it did have a very different aroma to it and seemed to produce more smoke than most cigars. It was a good cigar...but even with my biased nostrils, I could smell a bit of ammonia.
And I'd imagine that's what my neighbors were smelling that assaulted their noses. And I've seen others talk about how their non-smoking spouses like the smell of a Havana, but describe the smell of an NC as "cat piss." :laugh:
It's such a mystery....how a fine Habano can have none of that offending odor (and if it does, it's usually a shitty one), whereas a good NC does have that odor but still tastes good.
