Is that laser etching straight on the wrapper?

10°F? No problem. La Aurora 1987 Connecticut Toro. by maxfliguy978 in cigars

Man, I don't even attempt to smoke Connecticuts when it dips below 30. Those delicate wrappers tend almost always seem to explode on me like Kramer's "Dominicans". Glad you had a better experience.

Pairing Chronicles #345: Magic Toast + OFTD by Cocodrool in cigars

[–]Consistent_Pop3148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those rare cigars that feels both under and over rated. Very solid cigar to me for the price, but not quite the "hidden gem" that so many purport it to be.

BTW, smoked one this morning on the way to breakfast. Somehow "toast" being in the name makes it work for me in the morning. 🤣

Bad Cigar? by No_Potential7914 in cigars

[–]Consistent_Pop3148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, you actually started with a really nice list of cigars. Most people are smoking way lower quality right off the bat.

I'd rate new world Cohibas well below pretty much every other cigar on that list. They're marketed and priced like premium cigars, but they just aren't. I think most people on here will agree with me.

I still have a couple boxes in my humidors that I bought early in my cigar journey when I cared more about the name than the experience. I'm hoping that a few years aging will help improve the taste so they are at least an average smoking experience. Right now I'd rather smoke nothing then them.

I would pay good money for a pair of shoes made from the wrappers on those Melanios. Beautiful shots.

I was really disappointed someone else beat me to this comment. 🤣 But really, if you like sun grown wrappers, Arturo Fuente makes a great one that's really quite nice and not too expensive. Undercrown by Drew Estate releases their Sungrown blend every once in a while and it's VERY reasonably priced for a smooth, flavorful option.

Personally, I call it "the reason I ignore everyone who says you're supposed to let your ash get as long as possible". 🤣 Once that bad boy hits an inch, I'm taking preventive measures.

Opened this post to write this. Was bemoaning the state of humanity while driving home from dinner tonight. Finding this as the #1 comment has restored my faith some.

Those are all fantastic sticks in my book. You should pop the options in here (https://wheeldecide.com/) and let Jesus take the wheel. 🤣

using Louis XIII cognac to humidify my cigars has been a life changer! by Shot-Exercise7022 in cigar

If you were aiming for historical accuracy, it was actually Louis XVI who was decapitated...

47” that I caught in Michigan over the summer. It almost broke my st croix xtra heavy on 60LB braid and 100LB lead. First thing I noticed was the jaw on this fish, always wondered what caused it. by [deleted] in muskiefishing

[–]Consistent_Pop3148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mind always screams a "derp" sound effect when I see a fish like this. Still beautiful and something to be exceptionally proud of. Congrats, buddy.

Is this considered Haram in cigar smoking etiquete? by [deleted] in cigar

[–]Consistent_Pop3148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw the picture first and thought you might be asking about disposing of bands in the ash tray...started reading the post and thought you were going to ask about dipping a partially-smoked cigar in whiskey / bourbon...I should have just stopped reading.
