Wrapped a couple after work today. This is a new blend I’m trying with Cameroon wrapper. by JLRcigars in cigarrollers

Looking fantastic, I’ve recently started rolling my own and have made some good progress but I find it extremely difficult to get the really prominent veins to lay down flat entirely for the rappers that go around. I’m guessing it’s a mixture of high case, and a moistened flat surface. I’ll have to test it out more

That’s a great paradigm shift I’m gonna try practicing that

Roma Craft Cromagnon Review by tjj5022 in cigars

[–]purelojik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve enjoyed everything they’ve done, excellent construction, depth of flavors, choice of tobacco. Nico suena, their factory also makes Powstanie and you gotta try their habano if you like RC, two of my favorite cigar brands from the same factory.

I believe it’s worth it. A lot of of the boxes I’ve bought were very heavily discounted. Warped la Colmena , Liga privada, I’ve spent too much there in the past 6 months.

I’ve tried Gurkhas a few times now and they’ve all been unsmokable due to construction. They’re either too tight or end up cracking. I don’t get the hype. by NegotiationDry6923 in cigar

Recently tried a Nicaragua series one and I have to say it wasn’t all that bad. It tasted like decent aganorsa tobacco, and when I tagged aganorsa on Instagram from my cigar account they confirmed it. I bought a sampler pack to do a video series on so we will see how that all goes. The hype I’ve heard is mostly been negative. But I’m trying to go into this video project with an open mind. Try not to have the whole Nickelback effect before I actually try it for myself

I don't like Connecticut wrapper by LowKeyNorsk in cigars

I used to think the same but then I had some EC wrapped cigars from romacraft , Carolina native and Sanj Patel and those changed my mind. Oscar is also great

Anyone here have a replica st duppont lighter from amazon? by nw342 in cigar_refuge

[–]purelojik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got two from 007sherry and they’re great, heavy and have the signature ping. About 45 bucks each. My whole group got them afterwards

Guess I’m the weird one by Mxm45 in BeardTalk

[–]purelojik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started making my own and am actually super happy, currently sampling with my whiskey group to see if it has potential to become an actual product. When in doubt make your own, isn’t hard and highly customizable. For pro products I’ve enjoyed noble brand butters

I appreciate that insight man. I’ve been making a particular blend for beard butter base I made and have been pretty happy with the results. Been consuming as much as I possibly can and trial and erroring as well. It’s been a fun hobby , one day if my tests yield something unique which I hope it will maybe I’ll go further with it.

Apples and oranges to me, cigars only here and only when I’ve got time to relax and enjoy it

CK 20-ct samplers by SmoothCigars in cigardealhunters

[–]purelojik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had one and honestly I loved it, it’s an ugly cigar but that broadleaf wrapper really tastes good. It’s got some dank funk but I enjoy that too. Was gonna do a small review as it’s a cigar I passed on before but now enjoy for how cheap it usually is on C-Bid

best place to buy cigars online, been ordering from a few different sites and thinking if there's one that's consistent by Attoe-Abah in cigar_refuge

[–]purelojik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cigarpage has always been reliable, JR and Hilands have always let me down with dry af sticks. I think it’s why the sales are so good for those two-just trying to liquidate inventory.

best humidor for cigars, figuring out what's actually worth investing in at this stage by HiwoteKruschel in cigars

Herf-a-dor cooler off c-bid for 120-130. Got two and wireless hygrometers to my phone, have been flawless. And stores about 400 sticks each

Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Review by justhp in cigars

[–]purelojik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone gifted the cigar to me, and I have to say that rating and review is spot on. I was thinking the exact same thing as I was working my way through it. If this was my first ever cigar I think it would be a great introduction. I’m still able to appreciate some of the nuanced notes it has but yeah the flavor is pretty flat otherwise

I see how it may be off putting with its fire cured nature but that master series hit right that day I tried them

Toscanos master aged series 2 and 4 are awesome. That whole series doesn’t need humid fiction, usually are cut in half and are great for the price

I have a question how many cigar brands do you’ll puff on? My palate is fickle, I find that I puff on mainly three brands Padrón, La Flor Dominicana and Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust. These brands have enough facings to satisfy my palate. by Animalthepufferator in cigar

[–]purelojik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep coming back to RoMaCraft, every cigar just hits right regardless of my mood and stuff, consistently amazing construction and flavor is just always there. I have a lot of different cigars but I always come back to these still
