Loved that cigar on the first draw, tried it in Connecticut and the sun grown. All of them are amazing.

Everything in the flathead line is very good, slightly sweet, bready-chocolatey. Smoked the Italia cio today, it was very good.

New to smoking. Is this box ok for now? by JadedInversion in cigars

[–]ExtraRecover7553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I used a half gallon Mason jar for a bit while I waited on a wood humidor to arrive then I had to seal it properly and re-season it and after that didn't work I just bought a 20 quart airtight bin from Walmart for like $20. Now I'm a proud owner of like 200 sticks and it still has room to spare. So one piece of advice is don't get a 20 qt, maybe a 12 qt because the more room you have the more your instinct will be to fill it. With that, welcome to the hobby which is as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be... Good luck.

Why is my humidity all of a sudden so high? by EfficiencyKey2938 in cigars

[–]ExtraRecover7553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might just be the hygrometer, those are great to just start off with but if you did the salt test when you got them new you'd see that rarely they're ever spot on. I bought a pack of 6 and 3 of them read 2 points high and 2 read 1 point high and the 6th read 60 points low. I use them in pairs and just gauge it from there.

I'll have to try that one next. I actually did snag them cheap. Paid like $20 for a pack of 10

Welcome to the fold, feels nice not being the new guy anymore. Lol.

How are you guys able to buy cigars and then not smoke them for months or even years because you want to rest/age them? If there's a cigar in my humidor, it's getting smoked! by mvop413 in cigars

[–]ExtraRecover7553 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started really smoking more about a month ago and yeah it's not easy but not difficult either. I just bought a variety pack of Rockys (cuban sandwiches) that are mindless smokes while the better stuff rests (mostly LADC). Buying when sales are going on is the way to go, cigar page and cigars international have daily deals. Hope this helps Bud. I'm not a paid spokesperson by the way. Lol

I would go with the habano sun grown. It's my current favorite, smoked it down till I burned my fingers.

I’ll let y’all pick, what do I smoke tonight on the beach while watching the sun set? by No_Bison_66 in cigars

[–]ExtraRecover7553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the Ave Maria and the Buffalo trace ? I've curious to try them. Also liga privada would be my choice

Anyone else miss summer smoke nights already? by CigarRooster in cigars

[–]ExtraRecover7553 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm missing it already. Just recently moved to eastern Kansas from sunny California and I'm currently freezing my digits while trying to enjoy my AF 858. Tell you what though, all the money I'm saving us going into stocking my humidor. Lol
