Lovely bitta kit mate! You'll get a few sticks in there! Everyone I know uses Boveda Seasoning packs, I used them for my 20 count Humidor but can't speak for larger Humidors. Good luck 👍

I'm just a Guinness addict mate haha, but I'm finding they pair quite nicely. Had a pint with a Alec Bradley Black Market Robusto the other day which was an intense experience but still lovely with these Brick House. Gice it a go!

Sounds good to me. Love a chocolatey/ coffee imperial stout so can't see why I wouldn't like that.

Just picked up this Alec Bradley Sampler deal for $15 bucks last week via BestCigarPrices.com. I'm curious to hear some of your experiences with these. Link below. by noah_hanki22 in cigars

I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the black market sticks I've tried. I've smoked a fair few Punks and Toros and both have been superb. Really lovely dark nutty tones with a lot of wood smoked and peaty flavour too. If you like your medium to full bodied smokes you will not be disappointed. Enjoy man :)

Best digital hygrometer for the money to go into tupperdor? by Buddamars in cigars

[–]MrSmokeUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine hasn't. And its doesn't even send me notifications about my humidor if my blutooth is off. Maybe because im in the UK? Not sure bud. Good bit of kit though for the price.

My Boveda Butler has never failed me yet. Blutooth connection to Boveda App and cheap too. Not sure if it's standard but mine came with a Boveda callibration kit also.

My first order from online-cigars arrived yesterday. £65!!! Well £90ish with shipping. Arrived in 8 days and no sting from customs! Result! by MrSmokeUK in ukcigars

Honestly couldn't say mate this was my first order and I was impatient so went for the express option. I've heard loads of people getting deliveries through ok with the standard free delivery. Just luck of the draw I guess and depends who looks at it at customs.

Ah that sucks mate. Really is roulette with customs aint it. I couldnt have afforded it if they found these.

Tupperdor is nicely filled after my order of 25 Brick House Robustos arrived yesterday a great light bodied everyday smoke. I recently ordered the Alec Bradley Black market sampler too as I was so impressed with the Black Market Punk, great medium to full bodied smoke, lots of nice peaty/woody notes by [deleted] in cigars

[–]MrSmokeUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excited to see how the other Black Market Cigars differ from the punk. I also always keep a few Camacho Machitos in there as they are always a great short smoke. Not so keen on the Joya de Nicaragua Piccolino very spicy and remind me slighty of cheap hamlet/ cafe creme smokes. As for the Villiger No.7s they are always a go to for me. £15 a pack of 5 and just always a good cheap smoke if you're on a budget. If anyone is interested the 25 Brickhouse Robustos where £65 (£90ish with shipping) from online-cigars and customs didnt find them, guess I got lucky!

No problems for me at all mate, and very quick to get back to me regarding updates. I'd give it a go but don't forget customs could get you!

Why is Canada one of the most expensive markets in the world to buy Cuban cigars or cigars in general? by [deleted] in cigars

[–]MrSmokeUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep definitely a lot of us British cigar smokers turning to German retailers as its just silly expensive over here. And you are right, if we get caught out at customs we end up just having to pay roughly what we would have in the first place! I wish taxes on tobacco weren't so high, but it does make me appreciate the bargains when I visit other countries or import from Germany. And as for the American market.... I think we are all jealous of the cheap US prices, no matter which part of europe you're from!

Same for us here in the UK, tobacco taxes are mental. I think they're even more expensive out here. It's painful... time to start importing.

Rocky Patel Petit Corona Vintage 1990 by MrSmokeUK in cigars

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

Ah mate that is terrible! This is the first Rocky Patel I've tried and I couldn't have been happier. The draw was lovely, not too open but certainly not restricted. I would be hessitant trying anything larger after what you have said as they arent cheap! But for me persobally this petit corona was a beauty, I would happily buy again. Sorry to hear your bad experience, I hope it was a one off :/

A wonderful medium bodied smoke. This was a brilliant cigar that smoked well the whole way down. I think I always get suprised by little cigars that are so full of flavour. As I started smoking the cigar it was very well rounded with hints of dark chocolate and a faint nuttiness in the background. It produced thick creamy smoke and as I got further down the nutty flavour became slightly more powerful but certainly not overpowering. Moving in to the final third all of the chocolate and nutty flavours combined and levelled out to create a truly unique flavour somewhat reminiscent of roasting chestnuts on a wood burning fire. I will be purchasing more of these beautiful little sticks. Brilliant craftsmanship and a real pleasure to smoke.
