Cigar Thread

I got a nice Rocky Patel 1992 for about $6.50 I think. Price is much lower than it used to be at my local store, I wonder why. I used to get the big size (wow, I need to learn cigar terms?!) which was $10, but I got kind of tired of smoking it for that long, so I decided to go with the smaller one, which seems to be about 6 inches or so. Corona? What are the terms yo?

Just want to tack on to Delaware's post that Avo is a really nice brand. Might be a little beyond the pale for some (including me, I've only bought them when my local shop has had special prices on them, or for special occasions), but they are highly flavorful, enjoyable smokes.

I was just going to ask how are the Avo's these days, then saw your post. May have to try them again. When I used to smoke cigars - I remember that brand being a very, very good smoke.

must try habanos:

montecristo #2
montecristo especiale
partagas serie D #4
trinidad fundadores
hoyo de monterrey epicure #2
hoyo de monterrey petit robusto
por larranga petit coronas
cohiba corona especiale
cohiba robusto
hoyo de monterrey regalos LE
h upmann connasieur
romeo and juliet escudos
cohiba esplendidos (churchill)

the best off that list are the monte #2 (not the especiale #2, good cigar, but different), the cohiba corona especiale, and the romeo and juliet escudo.


Habanos smoker for life.

WAs reading through this thread again, and I came across a post that said you don't technically have to have a humidor. I needed to store a few cigars, no humidor, so I googled it, and found that I could put them in a plastic bag with a damp paper towel, and that would keep them "fresh"

How long can I do this for before they go...I don't know, "stale"? It's only been one night, I was planning on smoking it tonight, not sure if that is going to happen though. How long EDF, how long? Obviously I can re-wet the sponge.

I had this last night after I randomly saw it at the liquor store



It was very good and tastes like bourbon. I definitely recommend it.

Taso,

They'll keep for as long as you keep the proper amount of moisture in there.

Obv, this is hard to tell with a makeshift humidor, but you should be ok for a couple of weeks.

Make sure the sponge or towel is not in contact with the sticks.
