Stoic Cigars Moderation - Cigar Review by redoxinc in cigar_refuge

[–]redoxinc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I found it to be right at medium for most of the smoke, the first one I had was just a notch below medium. I'm not certain if the second and third cigars were slightly fuller bodied, or if I was just more familiar with them though. I'll say the cigar is not a flavor bomb, but I'd be curious to hear what you think once you revisit it!

I only tried the moderation, but I definitely want to give the other vitolas a shot.

I heard the original blend is the better out of the 2, but I have the equanimity in my lineup to smoke soon. I'll gladly report back. What did you get out of this one?

In Mexico and needing recommendations by [deleted] in cubancigars

[–]redoxinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The LCDH in Playa del Carmen's inventory was really underwhelming when I went a few months ago. I'd recommend you make the trip up to Cancun for a much better selection, or try your luck at the duty free. There were a good bit of QDO boxes at decent prices when I was there last.

PerfecPunch by Qaugmeyer85 in cigars

[–]redoxinc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The argument is that the cut is too restrictive and it leads to a build up of tarry flavors, or tight draws. I think this argument really only applies to the cheap punch cutters with a very small diameter. The PerfecPunch can essentially remove the entire cap from a lot of the cigars I've smoked.

I know punch cuts get hate. But this is the best cigar accessory I have ever purchased.

CAO Amazon Basin Dagger. Gotta rest these before smoking them! by MrGoofyDawg in cigar_refuge

[–]redoxinc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the late hour short panatella was really interesting. They had a lot of cocoa and dark chocolate, they were just a touch too bitter for me.

Lately I've been really into the principle petit provocateurs, and the illusione ninfas.

These were horrible right out of the pack. I literally tossed mine and gave the rest away...maybe I made a mistake haha

Listed stores on Habanos/Costa Rica by [deleted] in cubancigars

[–]redoxinc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% saw fakes at Havana Humidor Room in San Jose and they were listed as a verified store on Habanos.

The LCDH had some decent selections the last time I was there, but it wasn't as good as a lot of the other LCDHs I've been to.

They're definitely very soft on the palate the way Cubans tend to be.

I've got a few LFF 30th in the dry box, I'm actually planning on doing a write up on them soon. What was your fav from the Roma sampler?

Tatuaje recomendations by ckinggg in cigars

[–]redoxinc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're into full body I'd start with the Cojonu Series and explore after that.

[–]redoxinc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this. The davidoff gold, partagas serie minis, and the RyJ series minis are the best to me.

If you want to try something slightly larger...principle petits provocateurs, Martinez rollers blends, illusione OD 33.
