For people who prefer CCs, they don't really smoke for the strength, but rather appreciate (and look for) the nuanced flavours instead. I am relatively new to CCs, and one way they have influenced me is that I am starting to prefer small guage NCs more than I used to. The CCs have gotten me in the habit of savoring every puff and smoking more slowly, and it turns out that when you do that with NCs the smaller guage NCs outperform their larger brothers (imho). 1
Popular Post Subcomandante Posted January 13, 2020 Popular Post Posted January 13, 2020 Went to a local cigar for the first time today. Picked up the wrong aging room. Grabbed this one by mistake. Oh well. 9
Popular Post wineguy Posted January 13, 2020 Popular Post Posted January 13, 2020 I tucked them away for a nap. 10
Popular Post JohnS Posted January 13, 2020 Popular Post Posted January 13, 2020 A count of N1 and N3. Thanks @jay8354 , @Fuzz and Team FoH for making this possible! Likewise @wineguy, I have them laying down (for the next three months). 15

I find them engaging and complex in their flavor transitions. Still have a couple in my NC humi. I have all of my intact boxes, CC & NC in the same humidor. All of the boxes have been opened, inspected, and closed without removing any. My loose cigars are all spread among several smaller humidors and boxes that I have begun smoking are kept in a separate humidor. Do I need to keep full boxes of CCs & NCs segregated? (I see another chest type humi in my future.)

(I see another chest type humi in my future.) I don’t think it’s a huge deal to have them together, but my observations over the years are that my CC’s taste and smoke best using 65% bovedas, but I found that dried out my NC’s a bit too much, making them burn hot and harsh. I now keep them in a separate tupperdor with 69% bovedas. But physical change to the cigars occurs slowly so the jury is still out. 1
Rabbi Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Thanks @Islandboy. I hadn’t thought about the Rh. I use the 320 gram Boveda packs at 69% and the odd 60 gram @69%. As my CC inventory increases, I’ll drop the Rh. Good information for CC newbies.

Guest Nekhyludov Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Cigar Factory New Orleans Vieux Carre Belicoso for a box split. These look really good.
Popular Post TheCigarslayer Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Posted February 23, 2020 Found these hanging out in a b&m I frequent....no idea how they were just sitting there for years as it’s a high volume store and they’ve been discontinued for some time now. Got them for the incredible value of 100 out the door. Davidoff N1 12

I did make a NC purchase last week from an auction site; a large variety of tins so nothing too exciting except for me who hasn't tried many of these for awhile.
Popular Post Rabbi Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Posted February 23, 2020 I have a friend (FB type) who regularly smokes the 6”x60 and 7”x70 logs. I bought a fiver of these 8”x80 just to have them. While they are probably smokeable, I can’t imagine them being enjoyable. The D5 shown for contrast takes me 75-90 minutes; these monsters would be an equinox dawn-to-dusk undertaking. 6
joey rockets Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Those 'logs' are primarily destined for the USA market and have ruled the roost as far as new releases for the past 5 years. The advent of oversized cigars made me start looking which is when I discovered CCs were not so difficult to acquire again. 3

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature or Classic are in my sweet spot. 3

While shopping last week, I noted one of our favorite auction sites no longer offers Fuentes or Padrons although efforts are being made to get them back. 1
Frozenbarb Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 My shipment of Cain F Lancero and Gran Habano Zulu Zulu Connecticut Lancero came in the mail yesterday. They came out to 3.75$ a stick. I heard great things so I will let then rest 68-69 RH for a bit 4
