Re: Tobacco Preferences
Like some burley’s as a morning smoke with coffee. A few shop aromatics I like, but 90% I can’t stand. Love a good English blend. Virginias can be great, but have to be careful and pay attention

@OmgFrigginMike look it up. It’s pricey. It’s a Padron. @CalvinAndHobo only smokes high end cigars and don’t ask for his address, he doesn’t do trades 🫣Sorry didn’t mean to come off as a lazy piece of **** haha I just couldn’t read what it said on the wrapper but I have looked them up now and where I’d like to try one it probably doesn’t need to be one of my first smokes. It’ll make all my 5vegas taste bad haha
Usually they put info on the cellophane or the "Tubo". Writing on the wrapper usually damages the cigar and makes them taste like sharpies.

Re: why are some of my cigars splitting and cracking as I smoke them?
Your air is too humid. Try grabbing the stick you plan to smoke, unwrapping it, and sitting it on the counter for a couple hours before you light it.

Re: What did you get today?
I keep a couple of those tube's around for putting lit cigars in when I have to go into a non-smoking area like the common areas in my apartment building. Think; get home, tube my cigar, go inside my apartment, relight it.

Re: you can't make this stuff up
Looks like the 4th of July, Christmas, and New Years are big winners.
40 weeks is full term, 9 months is rougher since months have varying number of days.

Re: Tobacco Preferences
I'm drawn to Latakia, Virginias, Turkish and Orientals. Not a big burley fan, it's OK, but mostly just OK, I think that the few occasional aromatics I use are probably burley. Not much for most aro's, I don't hate them, but there's nothing like good Virginia or Turkish. Perique is helpful to many blends.
I wish we could still get Syrian Latakia. See what happens when the natives blow their country up? It just had a depth and flavor that the Cyprian can't match. I don't know how they did it.
I tend to prefer flake or plug over ribbon or cube cut.
That's all I can think of right now.
Re: Tobacco Preferences
With my short time in the hobby also, I don’t dislike any tobaccos. I really like the Balkans and plugs. Arango Balkan Supreme is about my favorite. I do like many of the aromatics. My problem is I ask myself would I buy more of this and 90%+ of the time I say no. I have now have quite a collection of small samples of ho hum…
Re: Tobacco Preferences
I agree with the aromatic thing. They’re just not for me. As far as blends, it really depends on the time of day, weather, mood…it just depends. I like a lot of McConnell stuff, KBV, C&D, GL Pease, HU, Gawith…I can pretty much find something I like from all of them.
