Popular Post Glass Half Full Posted December 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2021 Saw the Siglo IV's on the 24:24 ...so was prompted to have one tonight! (I have some of the same box code and date -- OMS May 2017 -- from an earlier FOH purchase.) Just a wonderful, truly delicious start. Great cold draw, and the first 1/3rd was creamy, balanced, really enjoyable. That said, to my taste, it seems that just a little more rest would make the 2nd third reach its full potential. This was still a good cigar, and this is just my opinion. The promise seems great with a little more patience 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to try and get back down there in a couple of months.

Dazed and Confused played a few minutes ago too. A perfect cigar enjoying moment. The sheen on that looks just wonderful. Do you mind sharing what temperature and RH% you maintain to store that older cigar so perfectly? I am still in search of the perfect balance. Just today finished installing a dedicated a/c unit for the cigar room (closet really). I found that the "wineadors" just weren't cutting it -- they needed constant tinkering -- so I bit the bullet and decided to follow one of PigFish's many suggestions: Cool the room and contain humidity for separated storage. It seems to be a process -- but that cigar seems like proof that you've got it figured out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep all my cigars in weather tight containers in the basement. 65-69 degrees almost always and use 62 bovedas. They mostly stay between 62 and 65 rh. I’ve got a couple wineadors down there too at 62 degrees but they’re not really necessary since the temp stays so constant down there. I don’t really ever need to dry box. They’re all good to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LLC Posted December 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2021 Turned into a Trinidad day 👍 Vigia tubo I picked up in March. Not as good as ones from my box. TLE SEP 20 Esmeralda. Very good as is usually the case. Very mild for this time of the year but howling winds again today so in the garage I go. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spaceman Spiff Posted December 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2021 2018 Crowned Heads Le Careme Hermoso #1 - I've been digging out some old NCs this weekend and this is a good one. If anyone who typically smokes Cubans is up for trying a NC dessert style maduro, look no further. No typical NC peppery rough edges, extremely smooth & medium bodied with flavor for days. Basically, a chocolate fruit cake in a cigar! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
