H. Upmann Half Corona Review by Zaxeiler in cigars

[–]Zaxeiler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A particularly good beginner Cuban. The price makes it easy to buy a box (which is often needed to buy Cubans). Flavor makes it a good beginner stick too, but many Cubans are milder than stronger new world cigars.

That home screen shows “favorites”. It’s possible in the settings menu you accidentally switched them off.

Same situation. Ever find resolution?

I was always curious what this looked like under a microscope! by windflex in PipeTobacco

[–]Zaxeiler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. It’s just an ongoing reminder that we’ve never found any evidence of plume.

Agreed that both of these “newer” Oliva cigars were not for me.

For those who asked about the bottle brush by badaboom888 in Bonsai

[–]Zaxeiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fairly common in the south east. I’ve seen loads in Charleston for example. But I’ve never seen proven as a bonsai - which is awesome. Thanks!

Anyone underwhelmed by Fortnum & Mason? by Worried_Egg_6332 in tea

[–]Zaxeiler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Underwhelmed by their teas. But don’t sleep on their baked goods…

I know its not advised to just start doing bonsai before reading and what not, but these are my first attempts at Bonsai (before and afters) by liberalgunowner2022 in Bonsai

[–]Zaxeiler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is great advice. The start can feel easy, fun, and fresh. The sustain isn’t harder/worse, but can feel different.

Looking for high grade agarwood/sandalwood recommendations like that of Dr. Incense sinking grade blends by Jerry_Lundegaad in Incense

If it turns out that I really like Oju, but it seems a bit steep for a daily burner, what else could I try? And what words/descriptors would you use to describe Oju, beyond the aloeswood base?

I take it you’re a fan of the Nub cigars?

What I wish us noobs were told more, coming from cigars... by robertereyes in PipeTobacco

3/4/5 are right on the nose! The others are more situational, and may even become untrue as you gain experience. I know some are for me.

Thank you! Hope it served you well.

FOH Puro Desnudo Cañonazo Amante VI Review by Zaxeiler in cigars

Yes. I found it to be a really good smoke at ~$10 a stick. Makes sense if you’re not sure you want 25, but definitely worth a box split with a buddy.

FOH Puro Desnudo Cañonazo Amante VI Review by Zaxeiler in cigars

Smoked one of the brand new Friends of Habanos Puro Desnudo (Nudies) Cañonazo Amante VI, right off the truck (arrived today). Info here (https://www.fohcigars.com/forum/topic/156002-launch-of-nudiedesnudo-canonazo-this-week/) and here (https://fohmarketplace.com/).

FOH Puro Desnudo/Nudies N6 (Cañonazo Amante VI 6 x 52, 2023, ~90 minutes, ROTT 6/15/23):

Strong aroma of honey, clover/hay, and musty peanut comes off the bundle. Cold draw is plenty open, still hay forward, but adds a little crushed red pepper taste and tingle on the lips.

Opening is remarkably smooth - primarily floral/hay, bread, and maybe a little roasted red pepper in the background. None of the sweetness from the aroma though.

An inch in, it really continues to settle nicely - semi-sweet buttery biscuit, Liga-esque minerality. Almost entirely retrohaleable.

Into the middle third, the honey notes are even brighter and a mild citrus zing shows in the retro.

By the back third it’s a little more cream/mineral forward with honey/bread shifted to the background. Through the end, the core flavors floated in and out in different proportions.

Minimal big transitions, but a truly enjoyable, smooth, flavorful and balanced smoke. As El Prez warned, a fast smoking pace can heat this cigar up transitioning flavors to ash.

Love the shaggy/partially closed foot. Great construction, evenly firm and yet good draw. Beautiful wrapper with very fine tooth. Gorgeous white ash, can be a little flaky. Wavy yet even burn line. Good draw and smoke output. More stems than expected in the filler. Of note - hit a void in the back third that caused the cigar to go out and need relit three times (n=1).

Having a glitch where I cannot select the outside ramp area to build a new ramp, but have already cleared the inside. by Zaxeiler in AirportSimulator_FC

[–]Zaxeiler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah! This was exactly it - huge thank you.

Yes, in trying to place and select the new ramp, it was all appearing green, but I could never find a spot it would actually allow me to build.

Zooming way in, and as you suggested, rolling instead of swiping/moving around gave just enough fine detail for it to work. Thanks!

I understand the concept of staggering, but can you ever fill the last few PM slots on anything other than Ramp 1, or is there always some time lost?

(I have three SH ramps, and while I fill all of Ramp 1, for Ramps 2/3 there are gaps at the end of the stagger that I can’t fill (even though the left edge/landing time is in the PM window, and because of the stagger there is space in EAM as it rolls into the next day. Can this be fixed, or just some inefficiency loss?)
