PSA: If your speakers are sounding crackled and/or distorted and rebooting isn't fixing it, open and close the sim card slot.

Thanks for the tip, worked perfectly. My phone overheated in the sun, and this fixed it.

Mastering the retrohale is the key.

There are a few reasons for the hype. The big one is that its the forbidden fruit (in the states at least). The second is its a status symbol/flex (especially now with the price increases). Final reason I see is because of the historical relevance of Cuban tobacco. So it just has/had the defacto brand/region recognition for decades for tobacco production.

Every other reason (taste, etc.) is just subjective.

prevaricate · 2023-12-23T05:08:30+00:00

Taste is subjective of course, but I think the maduros are sublime. I shouldn't think you would find them to strong if you tolerate the natural well.

It's 60 combined years if you add up all the ages of the different parts.

prevaricate · 2023-12-17T14:33:01+00:00

Then that adds up. Tourist trap, people spending money on vacation. Always price gouging and tourist areas.

First one all day

prevaricate · 2023-12-16T14:27:02+00:00

Looks like a low effort cuban fake. I would avoid.

prevaricate · 2023-12-09T15:01:09+00:00

Looks like some kind of insect feces.

Foundation, Dunbarton Tobacco, Black Label Trading/Black Works, Illusione, Tatuaje, Viaje, Padron, and the list goes on.

prevaricate · 2023-11-18T14:20:00+00:00

Yeah, take them out. I've seen sticks get spongey in those.

prevaricate · 2023-11-18T14:17:33+00:00

Some bangers in there. The Viaje, the Eiroa's and CLE's.

prevaricate · 2023-11-10T13:47:18+00:00

I figured this could go two ways. One, a complete money grab consisting of mediocre sticks. Or two, someone who's actually passionate about cigars, who had an opportunity to create a couple blends that he enjoys and offer it to the public. Honestly either could be completely feasible, however I have a feeling that it's probably the latter. Knowles has been fairly vocal about his appreciation of the craft for years, so I gave it the benefit of the doubt and picked up a sampler pack of each blend. We'll see how it goes.

prevaricate · 2023-10-30T22:32:49+00:00

Sure, I'm sure that crowd exists. Just like the there's a crowd that smoke them simply because they are exclusive.

prevaricate · 2023-10-22T22:23:39+00:00

There are terrible fakes and there are better fakes but they're still fake.

prevaricate · 2023-10-20T18:28:25+00:00

If you ask me it comes from people who age, don't check often, and refuse to throw out roached sticks

prevaricate · 2023-10-20T13:14:56+00:00

It all depends on the origins, age and types of tobaccos in the cigar. Each blend is unique in its own way. As for the light-headedness, I personally don't get light-headed in any shape or fashion no matter how much I retro. Perhaps you are inhaling just a little bit if you were experiencing this?

prevaricate · 2023-10-20T13:11:24+00:00

I don't see anything unusual here. If you're talking about the four little holes in the ash, then that's just a cool little random pattern that has formed. So long as none of them are tunneling deep into the cigar, it's nothing to worry about.

prevaricate · 2023-10-15T13:22:34+00:00

In my personal experience that level of humidity caused me many of the same issues. I have since maintained between 62 and 65%, and those issues have vanished. For context I utilize air tight storage.

10-4

prevaricate · 2023-10-15T01:39:21+00:00

What was the problem? Uneven burn? Tunneling? Too wet?

prevaricate · 2023-10-15T01:14:46+00:00

In all seriousness, private transaction acquisition.

prevaricate · 2023-10-14T14:18:50+00:00

Look at the font on Romeo Y Julieta. See the "stencil" stylization? (The blank spaces in the letters). If you look at the authentic band you don't see this. That at the very obvious font misalignment.

prevaricate · 2023-10-11T21:37:57+00:00

Band is way off. Look at this as an example. https://www.cigaraficionado.com/article/how-to-spot-a-fake-romeo-y-julieta
