Popular Post SigmundChurchill Posted March 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2021 1 hour ago, Rhinoww said: I’m in cincinnati. Cold but not chicago winter cold. Truth is in use, but I have opted for four of the largest two element infrared heaters from infratech. There is some art behind placement for best results. Lots of YouTube videos but more retailers can assist as well. My Covered area is roughly 18x20. Our porch will not be screened in. We will use roller blinds to keep the afternoon sun at bay which will allow three sides to be enclosed in a way. That should control the winds. The infrared heaters heat surfaces and not the air so it should give some benefit. It was the best solution for us. We just didn’t have the clearances needed for gas heaters. the idea was not to have it heated like a room. I wanted to take the edge off of the cold. my main electrical panel is close whichnis good. Very over engineered each unit will have its own 40a 220 circuit although I doubt it will all be going full tilt much. Electrician installing everything and we will have merchant support and city inspections. Plenty of everything I need to do this properly. If I were in your shoes I would think about building the porch in a way to have essentially storm panes fit in over the screened area. Could be as inexpensive as a wood frame with clear plastic stapled to much nicer custom build to make it more like a three season room. The trick is to have adequate airflow to pull the smoke away from the door to your house. Where there is a will there is a way. expect your build to be much more than you first think. Cry once and enjoy it however it ends up. This is my brother-in-law's outdoor setup. I don't know the brand, but those 2 infrared heaters built into the ceiling, generate so much heat you could wear short sleeves out there in the middle of winter. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Trapper99 Posted March 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2021 Mille ROTT from a throw on fiver that came with another order. Had huge honey aroma before lighting, and wife found the same. Had high hopes for a cheap stick, but those were quickly dashed when lit up. Overall was pretty harsh and wife said the aroma it put off wasn’t great. She had a puff and wanted no more. Last weekends Punch Punch she said had a great aroma and went back for a few more puffs. Tossed the stick after about 20 mins as my fingers were getting cold and the stick didn’t justify it. Hope (and I’m sure) the PSD4s this came with are MUCH better. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great flavors of some creamy cedar and brown sugar. A little honey mustard near the final third. A local B&M had a few boxes when I was there a couple months back and I picked up a handful. Worth the price in my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ites Posted March 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2021 I'm still a novice so I buy mostly singles to explore and expand. Todays choice was a Partagas corona junior Oct 19 (single so no factory code) which I quite enjoyed. Not as flavorful as the RyJ Mille Fleur (BUP Feb 19) from the other day but I believe a storage change might help. Have a box of 10 so I have recently tried storing at 62% RH which helps with draw and burn but faded the flavour of the beforementioned RyJ. They taste better for me at 65, but I didn't move everything to 65 yet. Obviously not saying these two sticks should be equally flavourful, just that I seem to prefer 65. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth the price in my opinion. Appreciate the feedback. Often my experience with NC aficionados is they limit feedback to either "it was good" or "it was bad". I've got the Lancero, mareva, and Robusto size chilling in my humi waiting for warmer weather. Last I checked my B&M still had a fair amount of stock but its been a while. The newer Cohete is excellent if you like Sumatra wrapper, highly recommend it if you haven't tried it yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you liked the Coronas Junior I recommend giving the Coronas Senior a try. I find them a bit more flavorful and aren't much more money than the Junior.
