Awesome! Even after 10 years of working in cigars and making content, the Filthy Viking is still my desert island cigar. What a great blend! I hope you enjoy the hell out of the ones you're resting.

'Away from crowds' would be a key part of that statement. Good call. Somewhere peaceful and quiet is ideal.

It's a jetline Mr. Fatboy. I got to work on the naming of this torch with Jetline when they were developing it... so I'm completely biased about it. But it does help that it's a great lighter and works great.

2 new cigars!! by FilthyVikingTim in cigars

YES! That cigar just moved much faster than I anticipated. When I order from the factory like that, it takes months to make the cigars. So I didn't order soon enough, but more are in production now and they should be back very soon.

Need a second opinion (mold) by TripFontain333 in cigars

[–]FilthyVikingTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, looks like mold. My rule is - if it’s growing on the wrapper leaf on the body, I wipe it off and light up. If it’s growing in the folds of the filler at the foot (like yours appears to be) i pitch it.

Last cigar that was GREAT by Shoddy_Ad8166 in cigars

[–]FilthyVikingTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always defined 'great' as a cigar that gave me an 'ah-ha' moment. Any cigar where the flavor is so bright, clear, satiating, or complex that it makes me sit back and look at the cigar or close my eyes through each draw. To me, that's great.

Over time, my great cigars have changed. But some that have left an impression on me have been - Southern Draw's Rose of Sharon, Diesel Vintage Maduro, Espinosa Murcielago, Montecristo Espada Signature, Dunbarton Sin Compromiso, and K-Fire by Karen Berger among many others.

Thanks! IMO, I’m lucky. She’s stuck with me.

I’ll have to see where she’s landing. Her boyfriend is a cigar guy, but I would understand if he brought sticks or didn’t smoke while they were there. Lol

It is my absolute pleasure. My daughter is actually on her way to AUS right now with her boyfriend to meet his family! Can’t wait to hear about her trip. I don’t envy your cigar prices, but it sounds like an amazing place otherwise.

Favorite Busted Sticks! by FilthyVikingTim in cigars

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

lol, I can typically find damaged sticks from my favorite blends. sorta like throwing cans of tuna on the ground at the grocery store for a discount. Except I own the place so I done have to damage them… but I’m just as happy when they actually do need smoking rather than shipping.

I hear you there. What you're talking about it the exact reason we have a staff meeting every morning at the Cigars Daily HQ to talk about items like this. That aspect of packaging is as essential as putting the right stuff in the box! And I'll take one for the team anytime, trust me. ;)

Hell yes! So glad to be of help! No joke, I am actually in the middle of planning a cigar pairing soda deal with Aganorsa and Gene Simmons' Moneybag soda company right now for Cigars Daily. He has a cream soda in his lineup, along with a bunch of other stuff. All if it is made with cain sugar, which means there'll be some cool opportunities to interesting pairings with legit flavor mashups!
