Package came in of all kinds of kick ass cigars. Forgot how many I bought and I’ll have another shipment of won bids next week lol.

Argentum. I really like this one. Not as much thick smoke as other Ave Maria’s, that sucks. But nice flavor. I can taste a hint of cedar. The rest is dominantly dark, deep, rich flavors. This would pair perfect with coffee.

Just bought some aged Padron 1926 sticks, 12-15+ years old. Jack Schwartz out of Chicago

Do cigars get better with age if you take care of them? I know weed does.

Is this true? Weird

The weed part definitely is. The longer it sits in a sealed jar at the right humidity the better it tastes and smells.

Yes. Tommy can probably explain it best, but aging cigars makes them better.

Absolutely, some very much dramatically better

**RIP** » Tue Jan 12, 2021 10:08 pm

I kind of figured so.

Cigars are similar to wine w regards to aging.

Diesel Wicked. Deciliciously dark and like ever other Diesel I’ve smoked, perfect burn and quality roll every time.

2 boxes that have continuously pissed me off more often than not: Cohibas wrapped way too tight. Samcro way too loose.

While true, I’ve never had that patience

I did stick my Hemingway’s box in the bottom of the cooler, out of sight. See how long that lasts

I think I've asked this before, but can old, dry cigars be reconditioned to a smokable state?

Short answer is yes. But in my personal experience, not worth the effort depending on how long they've been dried out. I tried to rehydrate cigars I forgot about for like 5 years

Tried a couple after 3 months and while they didn't burn up like a dry christmas tree, the flavor was off and it still didn't burn great.

Some also warn that you have to do it slowly because they can absorb moisture to quickly and literally explode.

I ordered the Cigars International Christmas mystery pack or whatever they call it. For $40 got a 10 pack of some Camacho cigars.

(2) Equador
(2)Connecticut
(2) "Big Bold" triple Maduro
(2) Corojo
(2) "Master Series" Bourbon Barrel finished 5 months, aged 6 years.

I almost bought that mystery pack. Camacho is supposed to be good, never had one though.

Smoking a Ave Maria Divinia right now. Tasty. A mix of slight pepper mixed with sweetness, a little earthy.

No cigars for me, had dental surgery yesterday, and long drive Sunday, but can’t smoke in company vehicle, dammit

**Juggs** » Sat Jan 16, 2021 1:22 am

I won’t smoke in my truck, either. Not yet anyway. Too new. Maybe in a couple years

Heading to camp in the morning. I packed like 25 cigars for 4 or 5 days

The Camacho bourban barrel was good as fuck. Strong flavor but zero harshness. Would definitely recommend.

**rampart** » Mon Jan 18, 2021 11:57 pm

Good to know. I’ll pick one up

**rampart** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 4:01 pm

Olivia V - really good stuff

**Juggs** » Wed Jan 27, 2021 8:35 pm

Back round to A Ruination. Probably my favorite affordable cigar at the moment.

**Tommy** » Wed Jan 27, 2021 8:43 pm

Weather was nice yday, smoked a Opus Power Ranger, f’n outstanding

**Juggs** » Wed Jan 27, 2021 8:55 pm

Show off

I want to pull out a Hemingway but I’m letting them sit

**RIP** » Wed Jan 27, 2021 9:05 pm

I ordered a 5 pack sampler of La Aroma de Cuba. They are supposed to be pretty good.
