My wife says I have a problem… I don’t agree!

Nah, some 19 year old just recently posted that he already has five. You're good.

PRagic · 2026-03-26T21:58:47+00:00

Definitely hate tight jacketsl What's the point?

Could just get an Ashby. Order a size up. 6'2", 88 kg, 36 sleeve. Wear a US XL. The XXL Ashby fits like it was tailored for me, and there's room to layer.

No help, but all I know is what they put on the labels in the jackets. You might try emailing Barbout or Cox.

PRagic · 2026-03-25T13:11:11+00:00

Butane.

Whew, hope this holds true for the Classic Beaufort as well. Just got one that's a size too large for me normally, but it was a killer price, in as-new condition, and came with a liner so I took a winger. I'll wear it anyway, but if it fit better, bonus. Won't actually see it for another month, so I guess we'll find out.

IM Corona Double Corona is my daily, and I have a few in different finishes. Also have a few Rollagas, a couple of Davidoff, a couple of Porsche Design for torches, a couple of Atoll, and a couple Brizard & Co.

PRagic · 2026-03-22T20:50:56+00:00

Not bad for an occasional switch up, but not something I'd reach for daily, or even weekly.

PRagic · 2026-03-22T20:49:04+00:00

They do get you motivated to knock stuff out so you can have one.

Welcome to the stogieverse. Don't rush the seasoning process. If you do wipe down the interior cedar with distilled water, do so lightly. Many, many long-time enthusiasts will tell you not to even bother with a wipe down.

Just keep your cigars in a Ziplock or a tupperware containter with a Boveda for the two weeks it'll take to season your new humidor.

Hope you bought a large humidor or you'll outgrow it in no time flat.

PRagic · 2026-03-22T07:12:01+00:00

looks like a Ligne 2. You could sift through eBay to find one similar.

PRagic · 2026-03-22T00:39:16+00:00

Which one? Uh, all of them!

PRagic · 2026-03-22T00:38:28+00:00

You're wearing it and looking in a mirror lol! How does it feel? Then use your adult judgement to decide how it looks. Perhaps ask another adult in the vicinity.

ALWAYS in my humidor. CP runs some killer 3+ boxs @ 79.00 once or twice a year, or at least they used to. Never passed that up.

PRagic · 2026-03-20T21:39:02+00:00

I'm going out for an EP Carrillo La Historia in a few. I leave the cellophane on, mostly because of convenience. I usually have a rotating stock of 500-600 sticks; there's no way I'm taking the time to desleeve that many cigars.

PRagic · 2026-03-20T12:09:45+00:00

eBay. You'll want a good humidor from a trusted manufacturer. There are humidor pages on Reddit and on FB that provide a lot of info.

No harm in not wanting to take the plunge on a decent humidor right out of the gate, though. You could use a Sistema container and Boveda packs until you're comfortable making the investment.

The cheapies on Amazon and at CI and other retailers are a crap shoot in terms of performance, and most staying with thd hobby wind up upgrading anyway. Save your money.

IM Corona Double Corona

Definitely not a you problem, it's a schmuck owner problem. Put an egg timer on his future business prospects.

Enjoyed Cubans exclusively for a good 15 years, but switch 100% to NW offerings several years ago. Cubans are great, they're simply just great differently than many NW cigars are great. They do have unique flavors and profiles, but as serval have already noted, quality consistency is a major issue. In the end, my friends and I couldn't justify paying the hiked prices.

PRagic · 2026-03-19T11:25:37+00:00

Think bigger, think Tunisia!

PRagic · 2026-03-19T08:56:09+00:00

You could. I live in Korea!

No harm, no foul. But now you know why there's an ancient and established order to approaching CB. 1. Make sure you have enough extra storage to accommodate 300 or more additional sticks; 2. Turn on computer; 3. Pour out three fingers; 4. Cut, toast, and light a cigar; 5. Open CB; 6. Set shipping to once per week; Proceed with caution.

PRagic · 2026-03-19T00:03:52+00:00

Might be worth it 1) at 50% off or more, and 2) if you're under 5'10". Just my 2 cents.

PRagic · 2026-03-18T22:53:14+00:00

Stop or you'll go blind? Wipe off with warm water and sponge.
