I’ve had nothing but issues with zippo single butane. I tend to just use a straight zippo. Being an ex smoker the fuel taste is nothing that’s bothered me. I ended up getting a wood humidor. Just prepped it for a few weeks before using. Have had no real issues with it. Got a bead pack to go in it. Just filled it with the liquid I got to season the humidor and it works fine. The humidor was won off a cigar bidding website for $50 for a 50 count cigar holder. My cutters were just cheap straight cuts from a local cigar store.
Plume does not exist. What you're referring to is mold that can be wiped off and isn't on the foot. Every single cigar that people think is plume which has been tested at a lab, has been proven to be mold. Period
Your advice is good, but starting with medium-level or, worse, flavored cigars could be a serious obstacle to falling in love with cigars.I think that Cubans are not a "trap" but still the best cigars in the world, it's a shame that communists on one side and Chinese on the other are making them a joke.
As for the cutters, I use a deep v cut cutter. I would highly recommend for a straight cutter is getting one that has a back stop on it as it won’t let you cut to much off
I agree Jim! Tupperware is the way to go! I use Systema and I have 3 of them. Best investment I made for my cigars. I keep it in a wineador with 65% boveda packs and a digital hygrometer. The best decision I made with my cigars. I would highly recommend Tupperware.
Thanks Jim, it sounds like Don Pepin had a mind for quality. Never heard of My Father cigars, will have to give them a look. I've heard of Fonseca before, what I read in the past weren't exactly glowing reviews. Hopefully this brand has been improved.
Thanks for watching. Spanish (as you can tell from my videos) is not my strong suit. I did actually use one of those voice pronunciation apps to get that, but in retrospect the J should be pronounced as you did.
You said the world perfectly, the last part doesn't finish sounding like " hay". Its as Spanish world for " tattoo ". Im a Spanish person, and you said it right 👍@cigarscigarscigars
I've always felt that AF bands are the most elegant, classy, sophisticated, and iconic looking cigar bands. To me they are pretty much the pinnacle of what a high end luxury cigar band should look like. The embossing, the metalic gold, the extreme detail, great color combinations, they just have it all. They are definitely in a league of their own when it comes to their bands. With the Don Carlos being my favorite of the regular bands.
I got two of these in a sampler and didn't really enjoy the first but I was fresh to the cigar world so thought I just didn't know enough to appreciate it. After a time when I understood better I smoked the other and found I could taste more but there just wasn't much to taste. I found it very earthy with a subtle cocoa and coffee undertone but not much else. It burned well, reasonably straight line, no dark spot like you had. It does have a long burn time and I smoke quickly. All in all, I probably won't be buying another for a long time.
You are right, Sprechers is fantastic, I recently tried the Point sugar free root beer and it was very watery. I'll have to try maple root beer, it sounds good.
I too am an iced tea fan with cigars. While I grew up in the American south, I don't really care for their version of sweet tea. It's just way WAY too sweet, near syrupy at times. So I got semi-sweet or unsweet. Sometimes if I sweeten tea or coffee I may use honey or agave nectar, something other than refined sugar. But yes coffee is great too. And thanks for the info about cold-brewed coffee. I've never had any, I'll give it a whirl.
Neat recommendations, Jim. The other day I had some Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice with a cigar (I forget which one, but it was a full-bodied stick); it was quite good. For those into IPA beers, check out Lagunista IPNA, a non-alcoholic beer that is very tasty. Cheers!
I used to occasionally have carbonated fruit flavor water but got off it for some reason. I remember enjoying it - thanks for reminding me to try it again!
Root beer is my go-to. However, I do have a whiskey and a water as a tag-along. Just finished a Montecristo #2 (Not cuban) with a RB, Whiskey, and water.
Interesting, thanks Jim. I experience nausea every so often so I don't consider this as being a problem for me. But sugar packets are probably a good idea to take with you when at the beach.
Ventilation can be a factor. I had a friend who felt sick often until he upgraded his room air filtration system and replacing the filters monthly alleviated the problems he was having.
Ventilation is huge. I never smoke inside so I don't have a problem with a lack of ventilation, unless I'm outside but surrounded by other cigar smokers, that can get overwhelming.
Well done, Jim. Treat yourself to a J. C Newman "The American." IMO, it is freakin' fabulous. I'm saving one for Thanksgiving, just like I did last year. It's worth the wait. Cheers!
Baccarat is always a safe choice for me, or any of the La Pearla for something a little stronger (compared to the baccarat). Macanudo Inspirado Green and the Romeo y Julieta are solid choices as well. But possibly my most frequent go to when I’m feeling indecisive, and also just one of my favorites in general, is the Rocky Patel Decade. I’ve enjoyed every Decade I’ve ever had and never had any issues, and they are solid mid range as far as price. Hard to beat the Decade IMO If my budget were bigger, I’d add the Perdomo Champagne, Drew Estates Fat Bottom Betty, and the Arturo Fuente Hemingway. A lot of people probably consider those to be mid range, but they fall on the higher end for me atm
Good to know Jim, thanks. What I heard many years ago was the same thing but with compressed air. Because if there are built-up carbon deposits in it that are blocking the flame/fuel, the compressed air will blow it out. Like with the butane trick, just a fraction of a second of a blast should do it.
Great info, my rules are similar, I only order long filler cigars, i order 5 packs to try new blends, and ones that i love, I buy boxes. I spend a couple of hours a week researching to find deals and always wait overnight before placing my order. I also smoke a couple of cigars a day and try to keep 200 cigars on hand at all times with a different veriaty. I mostly look for top shelf name brand cigars in Torpedo size, but that's my preference. I always try and keep my price per stick around the $5 mark. You can find amazing deals if you're willing to put in the time, for example, 20 Rocky Patel Sixty Toro for $99 or 20 Cohiba Red Dot Churchill for $124.99 patients is key. Happy smoking, everyone.
