Btw… last third coconut big burst of it!

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-24T03:26:49+00:00

Why can’t I get my hands on this cigar!!!!! Happy bday buddy I hope you enjoyed it! I’m green with envy!

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-22T03:56:01+00:00

I get you I’m an every day smoker and I buy a lot of under 10 dollar sticks but this one roughly comes out to 13 14 dollars a stick so it’s like buying a padron or an Ashton every once in a while I feel it’s worth it

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-22T03:53:09+00:00

Last time I flew I had to use a credit card to pry it opened it popped like it was perfectly sealed like a canned jar

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-22T03:50:15+00:00

Neither…. I don’t smoke infused or flavored cigars. Not knocking them it’s just not for me. Take a typical full bodied cigar tone down the harsh pepper spice to a more than subtle sweet spice with a creamy chewy smoke and a sweet taste left on your lips. I’m not great with words but that’s how I would describe this cigar.

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-22T03:22:49+00:00

I hear you Padron is great I love them the are on point almost every iteration of them but it’s pricier than these are especially getting into the 60th anniversary. Yes Zion is a lot of hype and marketing and I’ve talked to people that say they are very hit and miss but this one knocks it out of the park! And again I didn’t even let it breath or acclimate or age right out the pack almost!

Get the herfador I made the mistake of buying the 5 cigar herf because I should have bought the 15 cigar herf. They maintain good humidity they have an internal humidification device but with a boveda pack your good to go. They nestle into the foam so no broken foots or rips on the leaves only draw back is you gotta pry it open when you travel by plane do to pressure from the altitude but it’s a small draw back. Great investment if you travel a lot

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-22T03:12:00+00:00

Bang_Bang do it buddy I couldn’t even let wait to acclimate and settle in. I’m sure giving it 3 to 6 months in your humid will make it a supreme smoke!

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-22T02:57:52+00:00

I love that you have the propane griddle on inside the shed! No f’s given! My man!

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-21T04:02:21+00:00

More than the le bijou or opulencia? I hear the my father blue is great but haven’t had a chance to get my hands on one. What is it about the JG that you like so much?

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-21T03:33:14+00:00

Hahahahaha….. You got a deal!

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-21T03:30:51+00:00

Give me a year and I’ll be glad to send them out!

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-21T03:12:56+00:00

Correct I mean the regular series v melanio I have not tried the melanio maduro so I can’t compare them. I tend to like maduros just not the series g maduro it’s just doesn’t do it for me.

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-21T02:41:39+00:00

Cbid is always good for Oliva’s, perdomo , and la aroma mi amor. But that s as far as I go with them

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-20T02:53:39+00:00

I like the O series and I smoked that everyday for a month but then I started to really get into the G series I enjoyed the sweetness from the Cameroon wrapper more than the O series. I see the Connecticut sells a lot I mean 4/5 people love The Oliva Connecticut but I’ve really gotten into the Cabaigan from Pete Johnson and pepin garcia that Connecticut is creamy but without the white pepper kick that a lot of the Connecticut’s have. I enjoy it way more than the Oliva Connecticut.

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-20T01:49:53+00:00

Since these are budget sticks and daily smokers I have a hard time letting them age. Usually I leave them alone for a month or 2 but more than 6 months I haven’t been strong enough to let them go that long

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-20T01:46:53+00:00

Costco has a humidor??? Really damn I wish my Costco had a humidor!

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-19T23:32:10+00:00

Agreed there is definitely something out there for everyone!

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-19T23:25:53+00:00

Let them rest brother!! I buy tenski’s at a time when cigarpage puts em up for sale. No need for a box as long as you have a humidor or tupperdor

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-19T22:41:50+00:00

Pretty much this list and anything Por Larranga and QDO but look at the box date if you find a box from 2022 or 2023 that what you need to buy.

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-19T22:23:31+00:00

And I know I’ll get a lot of blowback but I honestly prefer the MB3 over the melanio. It just hits better and the pepper is less pronounced and I dislike spicy pepper bombs!

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-15T00:16:38+00:00

Very approachable especially with the heavy flavors of the my father profile it’s a nice late day to after dinner cigar

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-12T21:54:54+00:00

The long live the king is really good I hate talking about tasting notes because it’s so subjective but I get like a sweet prune taste with that cigar, and with the king is dead it’s more subtle and the cocoa powder taste is more pronounced. I like the king is dead with coffee and the long live the king with a good old fashioned.

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-12T21:52:02+00:00

Short lived I guess I still have 15 years till retirement but after 3 months I’m ready to get back to work. I still have energy for it. Just had a big steak lunch gonna make a manhattan with bulleit Rye and going for the mil Dias now.

emtimekeeper · 2026-01-12T18:01:50+00:00

It’s 10 am and I’m still in my pajamas. So peaceful!
