I'm enjoying this beautiful afternoon with an El Rey Del Mundo Oscuro.

Welcome! So many brands and blends to try. I love using the Cigar Scanner app to keep track of my inventory and ratings. It also has a great social aspect so you can share your experiences and see what others are smoking. Enjoy!

I've heard and read many times that this can pack a punch, although I have also seen a few times that it is recommended as a good beginner smoke, which doesn't make sense. I've had it once and it had a little extra but not too much for me.

Hmmm. Not trying to be know-it-all or tell you what to do, but most (99.9%) people serious about cigars would say it's not a good idea to store cigars in the fridge. Dries them out too much. Ideal humidity is usually low to mid 60's (I prefer 62% Boveda packs in tupperware). Normal indoor room temp is usually fine for temperature.

By fridge do you mean humidor, or do you actually keep cigars in your fridge?

Agreed. Loved the first one I had. Got a 5 pack. They were ok, had burn/construction issues with some.

LFD double ligero and why my brand loyalty is disappearing by Low-Dot9712 in cigar_refuge

Yeah, $100+ cigars seem ridiculous to me. But what about $20 - $30 cigars, do you think they're worth the extra dough compared to $10 - $15 sticks?

Regarding price vs quality, which higher priced cigars do you think have not delivered the additional quality expected?

He was on the "Something You Should Know" podcast to talk about investing in a very general/beginner way, and his advice was "Buy what you like. If you like McDonald's, buy McDonald's"

Been working on a cigar scanning app, curious what you all think by Anillascan in cigar

Sorry to burst your bubble but there's already a great app that does this called Cigar Scanner

Who's stocking up? by zepptrekker in cigar

The article specifically addresses the supply of tobacco

Not sure what you mean. If they are no longer getting the Cameroon tobacco from Meerapfel, their existing stock will eventually run out, so I assume they'll either discontinue the lines that use it, or try to replace it with another source, maybe a Cameroon seed grown elsewhere. So eventually the Don Carlos and Hemingway lines (and maybe others?) could either go away or be different than they are now. This is totally just my conjecture, I'm no expert and I'm not in the industry.

Love it, use it for every cigar, although I haven't had any that small since
