Report back, soldier.
I’m probably not qualified to review cigars. :flipoff2:

But it’s a full-bodied cigar. Starts off light, with a very strong finish. There’s whiskeys out there that would probably go better with it, but it was overall pretty not bad.

I’ll get another one.
 
What are you all using for a humidor? Bonus points for amazon links!

i use an older version of this. passed on to me by a friend who upgraded to a larger capacity. Keep the tray with some propylene glycol and it holds at 70% always.
 
Didn’t take a pic, but finished the week with an old fashioned and a Perdomo 20th Robusto because it’s hot as fuck outside and that was about as long as I could stand.
 
You have a cigar in every pic,


Make me a suggestion for some smokes for handing out to 10 guys on a trip thats decent. But not Pablo Escobar priced.
Look through this thread, my latest posts include prices.

Just had a box of RP the edge Battalion maduros 6x60 arrive today!
I need to thank all of you who sent cigars after mine were burned. They made my days healing easier! :flipoff2:
 
Just got 12 more Odyssey Coffee cigars, definitely one of my favorites
 
Humidor/Boveda pack question: I've gpt a 10x8x4 humidor that was a Thompson freebie. Got maybe 25 sticks in it. 72% Boveda packs don't last long and the humidity never gats above 65%. Checked levels with different humidistats; they match. WTF?

Edit: 60 gram packet

If you're not in a hurry, watch for Cigar's international to have a sale. Couple years ago I bought a blemished unit for a really good price, just a dent in an outside corner that doesn't affect anything.

Did you season it first? Wood takes a lot of moisture at first to get it to the right spot, think of it like a giant humidity battery that you're trying to recharge. Boveda makes a kit to season humidors or you can do it by wiping it down with water. Plenty of YouTube videos on it.

Just for comparison I have a 69% pouch in my air tight plastic box and have to recharge it once every year or so

this. I would start here.
 
Thanks for the info. I'll season it and also check the seal.
 
Any of you all feel a nictotine buzz from cigars?

Obviously they aren't meant to be inhaled. Curious if enough gets absorbed through the mouth for a perceivable effect or is it strictly about the flavor?. I've never smoked a real cigar, but have dabbled with cigarettes from time to time. That shit is nasty but luckily I'm not hooked. Once every few years I may grab a pack. Don't know why, probably coincides with times I've been stressed.
