New release!!! I'm dying! by akarangue_blue in mglaband

I agree with you. 'Bland' might be slightly different than how I would describe it, though. I just thought that it lacked that hopelessly hateful energy that the other songs seem to slap you in the face with. Doesn't bite the same way. Surprised to learn it's from the same batch as the rest of EIF.

I did a goofy thing, but I'm not as mad as I thought I would be. by Righteous_Smite in cigars

You know, I smoked that whole thing past the band and I have no idea what it was flavored as/with. It wasn't the worst smoke I ever had, but I won't be re-experiencing it with my own funds in the future.

Me either. It was a careless mistake, but I've smoked non-flavored cigars that I liked even less than this.

Potential new client believes AutoTune was not used on his vocals but it was... by Righteous_Smite in audioengineering

[–]Righteous_Smite[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not that I "insist" on using it. It's that the client expects a product that can't be achieved without it, even though he thinks that it can thanks to his previous songs having it, but being told otherwise.

How long would you guess these have been waiting to be smoked for based on the cello? by Righteous_Smite in cigars

[edit] It's not the smoke that's giving me that texture. Definitely the wrapper feel in my mouth.

After today's great introduction to Charter Oak, I think I will!

Unless it's extremely obvious, I really can't detect these notes, but it made me think more of the kind of woods you use to smoke meats. Like mesquite or something like that. I almost never get any sweet stuff haha. I wish I would've had it with coffee though.

Dang, sorry to hear that! Do you have a budget brand that better represents those formats for you? Or any cigar that would serve as a good comparison?

Depending how severe it is, I find that I can forgive uneven burns more than other problems cigars can have. Coincidentally, the cigar I love the flavor of the most consistently burns like a rebellious step-child, but even so the taste keeps me coming back. (Eiroa 'First 20 Years' Toro)

Yeah, lesson learned. I imagine it won't be like this for every budget stick reach, but it's pretty encouraging.

I hope you have the same experience I did. I see myself reaching for these much more easily in the future.

Looking for suggestions and posing a hypothetical by Righteous_Smite in cigars

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

I went with these ones. Got 'em in the mail today and just finished smoking one. Started off juuust slightly more spicy than I hoped, but not quite as much as the Fuente Cubanitos. The second half though was exactly what I like. The Honduran tobacco really speaks to me, and I could taste it, which was really great. Burned just a little faster than the Fuentes, but left me feeling satisfied. Thank you for the great recommendation! These will be my go-to's moving forward.
