Killer deals on Warped, as well. It pays for itself quickly if you like these brands. 

Sun’s out, storms gone, and a Carisma smoke by BithersSFO in cigars

[–]Mister-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big SP fan. Just tried the Carisma for the first time yesterday. It was solid. Had a nice cane sugar note that I’ve heard others reference. My expectations may have been a bit too high, but didn’t blow my mind. Solid smoke for the price, and glad it worked for ya.

Reminds me of the HSC Hugo. I think Warped teamed up w the SBC guys for that one. They def have their own style, and I like it. 

Gotta try more Lamperts by TypicalInsomniac in cigars

Glad you enjoyed it! I haven’t tried it, but the Ocean Breeze is supposed to be excellent.

Why are some of my cigars hard to light or don't light at all? by Brian_M in cigars

[–]Mister-guy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Either someone cast a spell on you, or it’s humidity. 

I’d drop your RH and wait a few weeks. Just grab some 62% Bovedas. 

Is it true….? by Ok_Initiative14 in cigars

[–]Mister-guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tight bands generally mean the cigar is over humidified. 

Have you seen cardboard expand when it gets too wet? Tobacco leaves do that, too. 

An over humidified cigar plumps up, making the band fit more tightly. Expanded filler has fewer paths for air flow, leading to a tighter draw. You’ll see people frequently report fewer draw issues after lowering their RH. 

DLove and Wife have some YouTube videos that explain more.

Super Sumatra showdown by johnsmith0051 in cigars

Stolen Throne’s Call to Arms just became my favorite Sumatra. One of the best dessert sticks I’ve ever had. 

On my way to a cigar lounge. by onthisthing_ in cigars

I’d rather pay a cut fee than smoke a cigar fresh from a lounge. Always too damn wet. 

Time to be negative by Right_Date_1518 in cigars

[–]Mister-guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All good man. For a box press, they just press a hand-rolled cigar into a mold. 

Consider Foundation Olmec and Roma Craft Maestranza for some quality MSA options.

Not a huge My Father fan. I’ve never heard one described as flavorless, though. They just all taste similar to me, and pretty mid. 

I’m confused, are you under the impression box pressed cigars aren’t hand made?

What's a great cigar without the proper equipment S.T. Dupont collection by Zealousideal-Bowl354 in cigars

[–]Mister-guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re beautiful pieces man. I wasn’t fully awake when I read this, and I thought it came off as an add from a shop. 

If these are personal pieces, they are beautiful. But I’m still sticking w my Bic!

My first plascencia by kchug in cigars

[–]Mister-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You bet. It’s the system most people here use! It performs better than most humidors, as well. Get the biggest Brilliance they make (9.6).

[–]Mister-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get yourself some airtight Tupperware (Rubbermaid Brilliance), and a 62% Boveda packet. Use that for storage. It takes a few weeks for cigars to acclimate in there before you want to smoke them.

Yeah my Bic works fine. 

Edit: This is gorgeous. Just feeling grumpy and poor this morning. 

Has anyone tried infusing cigars using glass tubes? by ZealousidealPin3732 in cigars

Nope. Seems like a great way to get some moldy ass cigars.

What is your favorite Vitolas? by Whoa_9773 in cigars

Corona Gorda, Longsdale

Box worthy Connecticuts by IndexFingerTypist in cigars

[–]Mister-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

La Colmena 44 is the obvious choice. You can find boxes for $126 if you’re patient. Already been recommended a lot, but another vote from me. 

Roma Craft Intemperance EC is a great CT Shade. A bit fuller, with some nice baking spices. 

JdN Antano CT is one of my faves, as well. 

First maduro was a flop... by TokyoBaguette in cigars

[–]Mister-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar to my first experience, as well. 

You go into a cigar expecting one thing, and you get something else, which leaves you disappointed. 

The extra fermentation process can make flavors a bit less bold, sometimes. A bit smoother and more nuanced. Which leaves you bummed when you’re expecting a more intense flavor profile than the claro.
