My First Real CC

If you guys remember, I got gifted a bad fake Monte CC a few weeks back from a co-worker.

A second co-worker just gave me this beauty. Looks to be a coronas señor, and his GF got him a couple years ago.

Gonna remove the cap and let this one rest for a few months. It is a bit on the dry side, lol, and may not recover. It still is mega cool!

    Right on, Partagas is a great stick.

    Hopefully it comes back to life with some TLC.

    Bring it back slowly.  If it takes on too much humidity too quickly it can burst.

    Thanks to my recent trip to the DR, I plan on sending a bunch of people their first "real" Cuban. I still can't believe the amazing prices I got right on the beach. Even had beautiful glass tops so I could see what I was buying! Lol, just had to share.

    That backpack is hilarious!! My dad and sister actually fell for this; about 6 months after coming to visit me in Spain and smoking the first cigar ever with me, he heads out to Cabo with my sister. Posts a picture later on of them both smoking stogies on the beach, but when I asked him about it he said they were total dog rockets (I´m paraphrasing here). lol! Looks like that Partagas should be enjoyable though Jay - as has already been said, take the rehumidifcation slowly, and hopefully it hasn´t dried out too much.

    I have been going low and slow with bringing it back, and so far so good! The stick doesn't seem as fragile as it was when it was gifted to me (def. a good sign). Gonna try a few more weeks rest and then fire it up
