Re: Holiday/seasons themed cigars

@OmgFrigginMike said:
I know this thread is old but are there any newer or mentionable seasonal cigars worth looking forward to? I think I missed the mark on trying the monster or getting the pumpkin tatuaje and I'd like to be prepared for turkey day and Christmas.

The Monster Smash boxes are still out there. The pumpkins aren’t sold on their own. Olivia and a couple others usually do advent calendars. Viaje will do a holiday blend and maybe the candy cane

Re: How long to keep em sealed in the box?

But in case it is not Steve or Daniel, you made a curious choice buying a $3,100 desktop humidor, especially if you already have another $3,100 desktop humidor. This is especially true since you bought $479 plastic box as your aging humidor.

Afford it or not, kind of goofy considering that you could have bought another one of those $500 jobbies and filled to the tipppy top of opus opus, Lost City, and all the rest of that fancy stuff.

To each his own though. Carry on.

thanks for the input my fellow Las Vegas friend, it lines up with my research too ... thinking of getting one of those wine cooler looking humidors with temp and humidity control to store the boxes in... maybe at like 68F and 65% Humidity..

If you're serious about really aging cigars, best to keep them at close to 70 from what I've heard. Course I don't really age cigars. I smoked them.

If you want to accelerate or enhance the aging process, you should look at what Nelson Alfonso does with his smokes. It's easy to do in Vegas with our ambient humidity.

Hit me up if you want to go meet somewhere and have a smoke sometime.

Soooo….i smoke cobbs mainly when I feel lazy or labor intensive work. As I’ve said before, I don’t place a high value on these ones. They can get dirty, char the edges etc etc. Definitely cut your teeth on a Cobb before investing in a nice briar to learn the ropes so to speak. Same could be said for my workhorses which I consider some of my best smokers.

As for new pipes and my other pipes I’m fond of…

I don’t fill to the rim…rim edges get charred

I don’t use a big flame…same as above

After use…I run a pipe cleaner through

After cool down…I clean stem, stummel, bowl

After put back together…I put it away or if it’s looking shabby I will give it a little polish. This goes a long way to preserve the finish.

“IF”… I had high end pipes with beautiful finishes, perhaps, I would treat them with more respect???

Then again, I’m a firm believer, you can’t take anything with you. Therefore, smoke the mother phukers.
