Am I just trippin or is this mold????

Despite coming into my possession in a sampler grab pack I snagged for just a few bucks a stick, I deeply regret not having smoked this until today. In spite of my less than impressive lighting job in the wind this stick burned so straight and consistently all the way to the nub that I was genuinely impressed. No touch ups or even turning required despite me smoking it while watering the plants. The flavor was surprisingly rich for a light wrapper and it produced much more smoke than I am typically used to on even a modest puff. The smooth but rich flavor and superb construction immediately put this on my radar as a short list candidate despite me knowing almost nothing about it before lighting it

I can't find any available online anywhere. Please help me.

Over the years I've found this to be one of the best, and most consistent, reasonably priced cigars out there. It's a Corojo blend and Honduran puro blended by Christian Luis Eiroa (CLE). It's medium in body but full flavored. It has notes of white pepper, cashews, toasted wood, floral notes, and a light tobacco sweetness. I'd highly recommend these to just about anybody. If you've had one, what do you think?

When I started smoking cigars, I tried the Leaf by Oscar sampler from Fox. This gave me what I thought was a good base for understanding what wrapper leaf I liked. I loved the corojo, the Sumatra, not so much. Yesterday, I tried the Oliva V Melanio for the first time and loved it. This got me thinking, what would be the ultimate sampler put together for the express purpose of trying the best of every wrapper. I could only make a list from what I know. How would you make your ultimate wrapper sampler?

Equidorian sumatra: Oliva V Melanio Camroon: Arturo fuentes Casa Fuente Mexican San Andres: Foundation Olmec Honduran Corojo: Aladino Corojo, Equidorian Corojo: Casdagli Gran Mareva Gold, Rojas Bluebonnets Nicaraguan Corojo: Illusione Eperney Connecticut shade: Southern Draw Rose of Sharon, Foundation Highclere Castle Edwardian, Paul Gamerian gourmet 2, Lampert 1675 rojo, Sobramesa Brûlée, Issabella Equidorian Connecticut shade: tatuaje Cabaiguan Equidorian Habano: Roma Craft CroMagnon Aquitaine, Mil Dias Connecticut broadleaf: Drew Estate Undercrown, Umbagog

I need some help filling out: Habano: Is there a difference in the location of the habano: Nicaraguan, Dominican, Costa Rican, Equidor? What about tobacco from Peru or Brazil? Posterboy for sun grown?

Where do you put the alma Fuerte? It is a nicaraguan puro, but of what type? Where do you put the Caldwell Anastasia? It’s Dominican, but of what type. Padron 1964?

I’m looking for a nice cigar box for his graduation. Probably closed no glass (but open to glass). Pretty cherry wood. 50 cigars. Maybe 100.

I want to spend around $50-100. Willing to spend up to $200. I don’t really know pricing.

Hi

I was wondering if anyone here has put on wheels under their Needone humidor. I have 48l.

Not to get into the details of why I need wheels, I do. There are a bunch of different options on Amazon. But wanted to check if there is any tried and tested one.

Thanks a lot.

I’m after some help please about over humidified cigars.

I’m very new to cigars. I’m in the UK and ordered some cigars from America (thank you good old US of A). They got delivered faster than expected after about just over a week and I was away, so they were kept in the delivery packaging in my house by the house sitter. They were in sealed bags in a box with bubble wrap and each cigar is in cellophane.

By the time I got back and got a Tupperdor and ordered 65% Boveda packs it had been about 3 weeks total. They’ve been in the tupperdor with 65% humidity for about a week. I smoked a stick last night and it was spongey, didn’t taste great & struggled to stay lit. All the signs I now know points to over humidification. I don’t have a wooden cedar box to dry box them.

So my question is what do I do? The Tupperdor is achieving the correct humidity, so is it a case of just waiting it out? Do I need to take them out the cellophane to help dry them out in the Tupperdor?

Thanks in advance!

TLDR: how to fix over humidified cigars

Travelling from Toronto to Barcelona and Cubans are relatively well priced and available here. Visited 2 shops I quite like (Estancia Duaso and Tabasco Paris 160, the latter of which had fantastic inventory).

2 Montecristo Open 3 Montecristo #2 3 Montecristo Edmundo 2 R&J #2

Padron and My Father are my usual go-to but figured I’d grab some of these and see how they age.

It’s a 5th Avenue Humidor. Added the LED Lighting myself.

Picked up a limited release Cinco de Mayo from my local shop. It’s a solid medium bodied smoke and it paired well with my leftover Mr. Pibb from the movie theatre after watching civil war.

Hi all, new cigar smoker and finding myself in the position of wanting to buy and try every cigar I can possibly find atm, so to ease the process, I thought I'd come to the experts!

I want to create a good sampler with a variety of brands and cigar sizes. Budget is around £200. Ideally I wouldn't be splashing out too much on individual sticks as I want to develop my palate first. Thanks in advance!

I was pretty hesitant to get these, but pretty excited to try them. What can I expect and do you like MOW’s other stuff?

I like it. A little more on the expensive side, but I would recommend. 9/10. Any thoughts?

Hey all - I need to place a time sensitive order from cigar place. I'll be in Houston for 4 days... When should I place my order to arrive either a few days before or on the day of my arrival? I want to build in the last 2-3 days as extra security in case of delays.

I’ve had 6 or 7 different Kriftoffs and they’ve all been good. Notably, the San Andres and the Kristania.

Hey guys,

My dad and I shared an affinity for Cuban cigars (of course). Every once in a while he’d surprise me with a small box for a special occasion, most recently being my graduation. They were always the real deal, hit all the marks and came from a reliable source. We shared them over time.

Unfortuantely he unexpectedly passed away and I’m only down to two left in the last box he’ll ever had given me. I don’t know if I should even smoke them or when, but I do know I want to save them. What is the best way to preserve them long-term? Is it as simple as keeping them in the humidor and making sure the temp/humidity are always optimal or is there a different strategy for storing something you dont plan to touch for a while.

Thanks for any advice.

God of Fire. KKP Special Reserve. 2020. Boxed aged 4 years. Intense caramel on the nose. Rich funky goodness throughout. Aged properly a true stick better than an Opus X. Unbelievable. 🍻
