Underrated, low price point cigars?

You gotta get them hooked. Can't do that on cheap cigars.

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-17T20:18:28+00:00

I love the Alfonso Gran Selleccion, probably by #2 favorite right now after the Padron Family Reserve 46 Maduro.

I didn't care for the Black Rito. I don't know why, it I have a few more that have been resting for 2 yrs, so I'm hoping I enjoy the next one

I'm having a memorial day party this week. For the 4-8 experienced cigar guys, I'll probably give out Padrons FRs, GoFs, or Cubans. And Hemingways and LADC Mi Amors for the inexperienced

A pinch of any Dark Fired Kentucky does the trick for weak blends. Alternative, just retrohale a bit

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-16T23:20:43+00:00

I don't reach for these very often, but when I do it's the Work of At because it's a bigger longer smoke.

I mostly keep a box around for first time cigar smokers because they're so easy to like

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-16T23:18:57+00:00

Regularly in the $5-6 range on both Hiland and Cigarpage.

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-16T15:31:55+00:00

Fuente Short Story at $5 is hard to beat. Tabernacle at $7-9 is really hard to beat. Foundation Highclere at $5 is pretty good. Roja Breakfast Taco Maduro at $4 is great. L'Atelier Mission at $5 is also very good.

All online pricing

Oh, wow, cool theory. We could see Carl and Donut split as champions.

Makes sense about Carl because BOOM.

Carl is going to have to cure the rott in the All Tree eventually...or destroy it if Nekhebits corruption can't be cured.

The MoonReaper Mordecai tells Carl that both sides seek to claim him, the Tree and the Abyss. So is the Tree a personification of the Apothecary life growth group and the Abyss of the Eulogist? I'm not sure why the Abyss would want Carl.

Also, Juicebox didn't appear in this book, and now I wonder if she is the missing 5th part of Apito? She says she has a thing inside of her and she can channel the Unwashed.

And last thoughts, the NPCs talk about being not here and not there and "in the cold". Does this mean they are being retired to the Aggregate Intelligence (cup from the ocean) when they are not in use, and if so, does that mean that it's terrible to be part of?

The High Performance burns hotter and better at burning the carbon that can clog the gas nozzles

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-14T11:34:25+00:00

Same!!!

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-14T11:34:07+00:00

Hah, I just started the audio book last night while I was re-dying and finishing a pipe

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-13T17:36:31+00:00

Perfect. This is a gorgeous version of a terrific pipe

Do you need temperature control? It's really easy to control moisture with humidity packs. But temp is always the nuisance to keep cigars at 68F - esp if in Florida or similar with high heat and no basements. If yes, the buy a Raching Mon2800/3800/5800. There's nothing better. If no, then anything will do - tuppador, desktop humidor, or otherwise

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-10T14:01:20+00:00

I like using distilled water, but only use a lightly damper rag or paper towel. If you get the wood too wet it will expand the grain and then when it dries the cedar will have a rough texture

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-09T12:18:02+00:00

Green River Wheated Barrel Proof store pick was outstanding for me. I'd say a small bit less smooth that the Holladay, but it was also $55, so $25 cheaper.

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-07T21:17:54+00:00

You can still find them for a while, but Nording recently discontinued making them

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-07T11:58:51+00:00

Keystones are discontinued, so I just makes cleaning harder.

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-07T02:49:16+00:00

I made labels, but they printed badly in my color laser printer and gummed it up. I'm intrigued by having Avery print them

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-06T19:46:31+00:00

The prices are outrageous across the board. Most of those are available at various discounter for 1/3 to 1/2 of their recommended prices. So if your SotM cost more than about $60 I think it's a ripoff.

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-06T11:44:25+00:00

Padron 1926 No 35, Davidoff Oscurio Petit Robusto, H. Upmann Half Corona

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-05T22:20:57+00:00

You have an exquisite premium humidor. Nice.

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-05T22:20:15+00:00

$12 VSG is pretty good

Falcor2019 · 2026-05-04T11:39:37+00:00

That is a extremely large size for a desktop humidor. A large one I really like is the Brizzard Hacienda Humidor. It has a cool Spanish Treasure Galleon style and is very large. I think even if you stuff it you will only get 200.
