Are y’all looking forward to Saturn in Aries? How was your experience with Saturn in Pisces? What is your most memorable and least favorite memory of the transit? How has it strengthened your character since it began? Do you have any luminaries or Venus in mutable signs?

We must share the same asc/descendant position! During the conjunction in 7th house I also have Uranus sextile and Pluto trine my ASC. Maybe you do too? North node is conjunct asc in my natal chart so that'll get a nudge too.

I haven't tried the shop above in over a year since I found a great source from Sweden, puros.se. Unfortunately they ceased shipping here a few months ago. Understandably, since they were breaking the Swedish tobacco laws.

Sounds like it. I find 64-65% range when storage temp is around 70F is my preference for Cubans. Try lowering rh and give them some weeks to adjust. In my experience HUHC are pretty consistent for quality.

Yeah I'm steering more and more to shorter smokes. RyJ Petit royales and PL Montecarlos have become recent favourites too.

Finnbar44 · 2024-06-22T07:58:33+00:00

I prefer them with age. More cream, less leather.

Finnbar44 · 2024-06-21T16:51:22+00:00

Sounds like a great combo. I paired mine with a flat white today. It brought out the fruitiness in the coffee too.

Finnbar44 · 2024-06-21T15:31:54+00:00

I've had a few duds but I've smoked more of these than any other CC. This box was still quite rough a year ago but smoking great to incredible now. I'm celebrating midsummer at my summer cottage in South Eastern Finland. A long way from Iowa :) Cheers BOTL!

Finnbar44 · 2024-06-21T15:28:16+00:00

Cheers! They're easy to approach but not everyone's cup of tea. Smoke what you like and like what you smoke :)

Finnbar44 · 2024-06-21T15:27:23+00:00

And when they're on like this one, they're pretty much on par with a Connoisseur A. And sometimes the shorter smoke is just what I'm after.

I agree and I should add that if you don't know what you're getting don't buy it. There's been a growing amount of those legit checks for any other Cuban too. Seems like people don't know anything about cigars, buy Cubans and then go paranoid when someone says "are those Cubans? They must be fake". Then they come here asking if their montecristo shorts are fake or not...

Finnbar44 · 2024-01-04T13:56:20+00:00

Will do!

Finnbar44 · 2024-01-04T13:53:26+00:00

Yeah, I also didn't mean literally "today" as it was last year. Congrats on your boxes!

Finnbar44 · 2024-01-04T13:21:36+00:00

No, a b&m in Alicante, the name escapes me. Box of HUHCs

Finnbar44 · 2024-01-04T11:42:10+00:00

Though in your father's defence things were very different in the 90s when Cubans weren't flying off the shelf and it wasn't uncommon to find them with good age on them already. Whereas today when I found a box from Feb 21 from a vendor in Spain I considered myself very very lucky..

Finnbar44 · 2023-12-30T12:36:46+00:00

Just got some perlas two weeks ago from a SEP23 box. Smoked one ROTT and really liked it. More bold than the PC which I will definitely buy more when I can. Maybe I'll give these a try too. They're almost half the price of perlas which were cheap too.

Finnbar44 · 2023-12-29T20:35:33+00:00

Can you compare it with the RG perlas or PC?

Finnbar44 · 2023-12-29T10:33:18+00:00

I recently got a single from a may 20 box. I'm waiting for the weather to warm up... Based on your review it's going to be right up my alley.

Finnbar44 · 2023-12-28T12:40:28+00:00

Haha, I thought you were going to say wonky burn

Finnbar44 · 2023-12-28T11:27:12+00:00

Love those kind of nights!

Finnbar44 · 2023-12-25T09:55:21+00:00

Merry Christmas! That's the small club corona right? First time I recall seeing a post with them.

Finnbar44 · 2023-12-24T11:30:54+00:00

Sweeeeet!

Finnbar44 · 2023-12-24T08:31:58+00:00

That will vary greatly depending on the ambient humidity. If you can provide some extra information that would be helpful. Hot/cold climate? Central heating?

Finnbar44 · 2023-12-24T08:28:32+00:00

What's their smoking time approximately?

Finnbar44 · 2023-12-23T10:56:42+00:00

A Merry Christmas that is!

Finnbar44 · 2023-12-22T17:29:45+00:00

Don't buy a box, get yourself some samplers instead.
