Cigars

Yeah I have 4 shops near me too. But there is so much good stuff that you can only get online it seems, so it is nice to have some special cigars.

 

Smoking another Liga 9. You just cant go wrong with them!

 

Thought I would show off my new V-cutter from Xikar. I've been using this for a few days now and it cuts great, nice deep and wide v-cuts. The finish is beautiful but it seems it is easy to scratch. I have been careful with it but I scratched it somehow. For $45 not bad though.

Also I am smoking the All My Exes maduro in toro.
First third so far lots of smoothe creamy smoke, chocolate, leather, and pepper on the finish.

p.s. One of these cigars had a beetle hole upon arrival. However they shipped fast, responded to my email complaint fast, and they are sending me a replacement and an extra cigar. I hope it is something different just so i can try another cigar! Phenomenal customer service from Ezra Zion, a rare thing to actually have these days.

 

Xikar makes some awesome stuff!
Ive got the XO double guillotine. Pic of it from a while back.

 

What is the shelf life of cigars kept in a humidor?

I just bought three Rocky Patel cigars: Vintage 1999, Sun Grown, and Decade.

I plan on smoking them over the next few weeks while on a fishing trip.

 

You can get years out of cigars in a well kept humidor. I know the little travel cases with a bovida pack can last a couple months as well.

 

Forever if kept properly.

 

Yeah if anyone is looking for some Cuban 5 packs (or larger) let me know. I'm finally starting to narrow down what I enjoy and I need to clear out some room. I'd be down to trade for specific cigars too (RyJ, Sancho Panza, Bolivar, certain Montes and HdMs). Just shoot me a PM.

 

That will probably be my next cutter. I am partial to the v-cutters though. The just have better mouthfeel.

 

Closing on my first home soon so I bought a special cigar for closing day.

I know I've posted these before but, they are frickin delicious for a morning cigar with your coffee yum.

 

Just picked this up, Cedrus it is new from Southern Draw. So far lots of pepper.

Really oily, extra spicy in the beginning, then strong cedar flavor. This cigar did not disappoint.

 

I went back to get another one and luckily got the last one. They went fast, 2 days. If you see them in your local shop get one or two.

 

Drew Estate Undercrown tonight. Wonderful fall evening so I lit one up. Strong cigar with an amazing easy draw and a perfect burn. Very high quality.

 

I finally got to light it up!

 

This will be tonight's treat. A buddy of mine gave it to me be for I left to come here. I will let y'all know how it is.

 

You will enjoy it. It is a good one

 

Thanks, I am about to go find out.

 

Pleasantly surprised, pretty mild, pulls just right and long burning. I will be getting more of these.

 

They are not sold year round. Few times a year.

 

That's what my buddy was telling me. If anything until then, I'll snag a couple from him.

 

Should be available through the holidays. Try the 888 version if you enjoy bourbon or scotch. It is a thinner lancero size which when paired with a good drink (non mixed) enhances the palette for both.

 

I'll give it a try, thanks.

 

Finally! They finally arrived, I bought a box of them this time. I'm a greedy little pig they only had two boxes.

 

This makes me very happy. Arrived today.

 

I haven't checked in for a while but I'm all caught up and see some awesome cigars have been had. My in-laws who live in the Dominican republic half the year just came back and brought me 30 Maduros made by a neighbor of theirs. I've had his cigars before and they don't disappoint. I'm going to give them a few days and report back.

 

Here they are. Too cold and windy to smoke tonight. Hoping to be able to smoke one tomorrow.

 

Anyone ever smoke a Man of War? How are they?

I see the reviews, for some reason I trust you malcontents and deviants more than generic reviews. I picked one up, and kind of want to know what to expect.

Where's the Cognac dispenser?

I would at least like to have one that I don't have to watch often and keep 'em humid in dry CO.
