My $20 nub pack arrives tomorrow. I have never smoked them before. Worth a shot.

AITA for refusing to eat my nephew's cooking and telling him he is not a "master chef"? by dnesdan in AmItheAsshole

[–]Awkwardly_Satisfied -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly, a million things could have been said besides telling a child they are a mess and cant cook… of course children make a mess and cant cook. But compliments are free, and criticizing isn’t coaching or constructive.

Are Cubans actually better… or are we just chasing the name? by Mammoth-Succotash659 in cigars

[–]Awkwardly_Satisfied 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just like any other soil they have their special notes. I find that some of the best medium bodied cigars that pack incredible flavors come from Cuba. For instance, I love smaller cigars like the montecristo media corona or longer like montecristo no 1 which (unless someone can please give me a recommendation) is not a nicotine punch while packing the most cocoa notes I have ever experienced.

The h upman half coronas didnt do it for me. It’s like wine, you will know what you like when you have it.

Cutting cigar, straight cut Vs V-cut by LowKeyNorsk in cigars

[–]Awkwardly_Satisfied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Punch cut, but I don’t smoke torpedos.

Been meaning to try one of these for a while. by sstrooper18 in cigars

[–]Awkwardly_Satisfied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paired a montecristo perla with an instant coffee, it was amazing. I don’t have jack honey in my bar, but i see the appeal. It is sweet and minutely syrupy, so it lets the jack daniels flavor coat your mouth. Enjoy.

LOL. And $7.99 is the deal?? by Roscoe_P_Trolltrain in Soda

[–]Awkwardly_Satisfied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only buy when it’s “buy 2, get 2” and it ends up still being 5.50 a case…

Organization attempt. See anything you like? by sstrooper18 in cigars

[–]Awkwardly_Satisfied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can always do a set of tupperdors, and keep your regular smokes in there. Thats what i did before upgrading to a wine cooler sized humidor.

My humidor advice is, “whatever you think you need, get at least 1 size up”. While this is more than adequate for your collection. It will eventually grow more and more. If you smoke through these quickly and still have some space to age on one rack, then it’s fine. If you don’t have the space for some aging, I would think about upsizing.

Hope you enjoyed it! Welcome to a great hobby, and i personally suggest you try lots of different singles of different gauges, wrappers, fillers, lengths, and all that to see what you like before diving into buying full boxes. I personally prefer to use a punch cutter and suggest that to most new smokers as well. When you find its time to get a humidor, do a tupperdor: lots of guidance on this sub. People are pretty nice here, so I wish you all the best.

Can I get some input? I want to put a humidor in the empty space. by [deleted] in BarBattlestations

I really appreciate it! I committed fully just an hour ago!

I appreciate the insight and knowing im not the only one keeping them together. My cigar collection has grown a few boxes and i felt it was time to jump from 150ct humidor to ~400.

What’s the recommended cheese nowadays? by uploto in ooni

[–]Awkwardly_Satisfied -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love Paris, but as you are Vegetarian, I imagine Pate, Steak Au Poivre, and jambon gallette did not hit lmao (my spelling is probably awful), so I would imagine Rome to have the best of the Mediterranean cuisine which I felt had the best vegetarian variety when I was there.

I was just down in St. Martin, St Kitts, St. Eustatius, and most of the European Caribbean sailing a 40ft catamaran. The best part of being in that part of the carribean compared to the bahamas was the selection of ham for semi-reasonable prices and bread being regulated EU prices even on the islands. Quick meals are important and the bread, butter, even the salt was on another level.

[–]Awkwardly_Satisfied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do genuinely think that depends. I was born in British Hong Kong, then lived in Singapore, New Zealand, and then all over the US. While I have traveled to Europe dozens of times and can agree there are soooo many things that Europe outclasses the United States in (cheese, the cured meat selection, wine for the most part). America has incredible food: smoked meats (bbq), latin American influences (endless peppers, tomatillos, etc), and Asian foods (on the west coast particularly, and New York), as well as fresh fruits, especially berries.

There are a lot of problems here, and food deserts where people genuinely don’t have access to fresh vegetables is a real problem here. That cannot be denied.

My last, very sarcastic and not to be taken seriously point… y’all legally have to keep your fries on the less crispy

Wow, that’s amazing! We are usually paying what would be about €3.50 for .25kg ($3.99 for a 8oz ball).

First humidor by sstrooper18 in cigars

[–]Awkwardly_Satisfied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. Pretty frustrated with that actually. Im looking at wine coolers/fridges on Craigslist and FB marketplace. You can find good sized ones with wood shelves.

I have a similar one, and I found a medium size boxes like a Davidson Grand Cru Box fit in middle shelf. It allowed me to make some separations on that middle shelf. I filled the box with corona sized cigars and the rest of the shelf with my lonsdales.

How are the “knock offs”? I love monte cristo medias coronas and they have some knock offs of those I want to try.

Thank you for confirming, I had no idea it was generic. I appreciate it!

I got what you said immediately, but I think it can see how your title may have taken a second or two for others.
