KIRBY ALLISON: THE CIGAR MASTERS

That would entail watching content with HIM in it. I'll pass and let some other more appreciative reviewer benefit. -
Some people will taste tapioca in cigars and some won't. Don't believe the hype. Keeping notes/a journal/simple log of cigars smoked and bought is both nerdy and useful. Fakes have been around for a very long time. Trust your vendor, trust their provenance. Buy more than you smoke. Cigars are like Pokémon. You got to catch em all. Age can do wonderful things to a cigar. But no guarantees. Smoke slowly. Make sure you make the time. There are NC using the same brand names as some CCs?!

EAR = Email Assistance Required. "I know that the consensus opinion around the interweb is that the Bolivar Petit Corona and Bolivar Number 2 Tubos are the same cigar but I just don't get it? I have smoked boxes and boxes of both and find them to be significantly different. Would you do me the courtesy of putting it forward to your members? Am I going mad?" Over to you good folk. I have a poll if that helps.

Well, I was a young teenager, so I wish I’d known more about girls! 😆 Seriously though, I wish I’d understood how to acclimate, drybox, smoke slower, and savor them earlier on. I always smoked them right outta the shop, over-moist, and puffed away like a banshee. Obviously made myself sick several times in the beginning, but luckily I kept with it. It didn’t take long before realizing I liked them on the drier side, and that my local shop was keeping them way over my preferred humidity. Hiding them from my parents while acclimating them was a challenge, but kinda fun. I used the dry coffins off a few special release something-or-others, hidden in my desk drawers. Worked like a frickin’ charm to dry them in just a few days! I also wsh I’d learned how to retrohale sooner. Wasn’t until my early 20’s that I learned how, and since then I retro every puff. After a couple decades, it’s become involuntary.

Thanks! Smoked great! Very creamy, earthy, cocoa, and leather, with a slight sweetness in the background 👍 -

BBF, unknown year (random single; believe it's from 2016). Smooth & complex, toffee & nut overtones, very nice! -

A wine fridge makes a great coolidor. We have 6 of them and love them. Your best cigars are up to you but box splitting will help try lots of different ones with fellow collectors. We smoke cigars every day and love dryboxing a selection outside coolidors. Then they stay lit, burn evenly and mmmm taste great too. Don’t think wrong of us but we have two humidors for guests. One is for smokers we know who are worth good stuff. The other is nc’s or traders etc for noobies or less important folks, let’s just say that. CB
