Cigar /Pipe Smoking thread

no, I’d like to try one. Malin, they have a variety pack at the pit and it has one X in it. I think the pack was 150 for 8 cigars or maybe 10. It’s back in the left corner of the humidor if they haven’t sold it.

I'll have to check it out.

I'll have to check it out.

If it’s still there, I think it was on the first shelf at the bottom. It’s in the same corner where the diesels are.

Really thought hard about buying it the last time was there. Just for the X. Lol

I absolutely love 'em. It's one of my favorites.

Do you let them sit for 6 months before you smoke them? I know they are usually aged before you buy them but I was just wondering?

I'm not very disciplined about aging anything. I put them in a humidor that is seasoned to 65% humidity. I'll check the humidity after a day or two to see if it went up or down. When it returns to 65% for a day or two, I'll smoke em.

I've had the best success ordering them from two places.... Neptune Cigars and Cigar Country. Neptune usually limits how many you can buy at 4 or 5 but they have decent prices. Cigar Country usually has a better supply... probably because they are in the Dominican Republic.

When first fired up, there was a distinctive flavor of espresso to this Cohiba Connecticut which I’m smoking. Happy fourth, y’all.

Excellent draw, clouds of smoke, and a hint of walnut in the first third.

 

[loggervol]

Still one of my favorites.

Nice catalog. Does it have anything the site doesn’t have?

 

[Tin Man]

Enjoyed that smooth AVO classic with the sun grown wrapper this evening.

It says in the catalog to check their site for more deals. I didn't know catalogs were still a thing.

I meant to ask. Did you check and see if the pit still had that variety pack with the X in it?

Heck no. Hadn't been down that way, yet. I have some free time next week and will go then.

Y’all obtain an Opus X for me, and I’ll come to Knoxville.

I was hoping they were in that catalog.
