Glass Half Full Posted April 16, 2022 Posted April 16, 2022 10 hours ago, jakebarnes said: I just got that Xikar. Is yours a soft flame? Yes. ...It seems just "okay" to me. The flame varies greatly depending on how full the tank is; it often needs multiple clicks to fire up; and it is useless in any wind situation. (Yes, I purge it between fills.) Of course, it could also be some other kind of "user error" Funny you should ask as I was just looking at some flat-flame, single jets yesterday to have another lighter as a comparison or perhaps trade up. How is your experience so far?

How is your experience so far? Yeah, it's super inconsistent and frustrating, but wondered if mine was just glitchy. I got a Xikar Allume due to my frustration with that lighter.

Popular Post Buffalo Posted April 16, 2022 Popular Post Posted April 16, 2022 After smoking the Rosado version yesterday, this morning I gave the Maduro Carlota Nudie (stored for 60 days) a try. Comparatively, this presents quite a distinct flavor profile (I am wondering how much beneath the wrapper is different than the Rosado cigar). Prominent flavor was umami (think barbecue) with a hint of sweetness (raisins?) and maybe a tinge of cocoa. Burn, draw, and construction were very good, and the smoke could almost be chewed. Unlike the Rosado, this one calmed down nicely in the last third. It's a good cigar, for sure. 26

Popular Post drinaldi84 Posted April 17, 2022 Popular Post Posted April 17, 2022 After some morning rain, ended up being a sunny afternoon, so I decided to light up a Punch-Punch LGB SEP 20. It’s only the second stick I’ve had from this box, but my goodness, I think the hype is real. Awesome smoke all the way through, no edges to be found. 28

Popular Post FlyingGlass Posted April 17, 2022 Popular Post Posted April 17, 2022 Have a wonderful holiday! Will be joined by family and good food later today. Spring is in our neighborhood along with a beautiful Monte Especiales No. 2 from a fantastic OCT 2020 PSP box from our hosts. EDIT- too beautiful a day for just one. Added this BPC from LRE ABR 09. Great day. 31
Popular Post Glass Half Full Posted April 17, 2022 Popular Post Posted April 17, 2022 A stormy yesterday evening called for something special, Vigia (APU Jul 2015). Today brought other "blessings" ... HdM Elegantes (my favorite HdM) (UBM Sep 2019), which seemed a bit light compared to what I'd expected. ...So added a RA Club Allones (TOR Dic 2015), which never disappoints. 28
