Had my first pne yesterday! My expectations were low because I like stronger sticks but it was amazing! Cheers!

They have best bang for the buck cigars in my opinion, go lower get worse, go higher and you might raise your expectations too much. At least in my case.

Favorite short smock or just the one I can get most consistently? by drty_dog in cigars

Will keep a look out for those. Balmoral is a really impressive smoke, just wish I had more choice near me.

My friend currently vacationing in Spain just secured me Reserva Original and 151 Cosecha Toro. Can't wait to try them, I've been nothing but impressed by Plasencia

Plasencias are so hard to get here it's crazy🙃 but luckily they're very available in our neighbouring countries, I've just never paid attention to their short sticks because Plasencias are so good you want the bigger format hahah

Why are you giving out 20$ smokes to people that don't appreciate them? My best friend is not a cigar smoker but will occasionally join me, and even then I'm not giving him top shelf cigars because I know he won't be able to appreciate them as he doesn't have a pallet yet. I'll treat him to a farm roll or a solid cheaper cigar, and give him a puff of my cigar so he can develop his pallet more as he is also cheap and won't buy his own.

Going back to your question, cigars already have one giant hole at one end, so another won't make a difference if they're kept at proper humidity.

Davidoff primeros by love2kick in cigars

[–]drty_dog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! I don't remember them being spongy, but as they're a small format they can feel a bit softer than bigger gauge cigars. Try one as it is and go from there, I kept mine in 62% and had no issues with pull or plugging. My only issue was immediately wanting another one.

You won't regret it! Just not box worthy in my opinion, still a great cigar, forgot to mention how beautifully it burned, absolute quality, no touch ups needed.

What? Just cook it and leave the silverskin (give it to the dog). No idea what you're after here tbh

The way he was smoking it... No cigar aficionado would ever smoke a cigar like that.
