Sparkling water, or ‘water crackers’ apparently. Also, dark chocolate.

I dont know the first thing about cigars. My girlfriends family does a Christmas deal where you draw names and find a $20 gift and I got her uncle who likes cigars. She texted her cousin to ask what her uncle likes she said Gurka, Cuban cigar lover. No flavors, a premium selection.

I went to the cigar store and he said we dont have any of that. The store guy said what he liked and to try them. I got a couple for the uncle and a couple of the same for my friend. My friend said I shouldn’t have got them so far before the party. I got them last Sunday and the party is this Friday. My friend said put them in a tupperware with a sponge of water.

Do you think they will be bad by the time of the party or what? Should I give these to my brother now and get the Uncle something new and fresher the day of the party?

What I got. $11 each.

Throw them in a plastic bag and push the air out before you seal it, then throw them somewhere cool and dark. The wet sponge will over humidify them. They'll be fine for a while that way. If you're really worried about it tell Uncle to leave them in the humidor for a week or two before smoking, but I wouldn't sweat it

Yep. They are not as sensitive as some make them out to being. Put it in a bag and keep it away from heat. For a week, it’ll be fine. He will drop it in his humidor and itll be fine. Hell, he will probably smoke 1 that day. I would. Just cause.

That all depends what you want out of smoking it. "Clearing" the pallet is just to get a full profile of the cigar, like wine or anything else. But what you smoke the cigar with, or before, or after a meal changes it completely. I really like a cigar with coffee. I like it with whiskey. Sometimes with dry red wine, which people will shit all over. After a nice fatty meal that same cigar is completely different. I like leather, dark chocolate, bitterness, that end of the spectrum. Keep your 486 jokes to yourself :flipoff2:

Tasting a cigar or pipe smoke, there is a method called a "snork". This is where you take a puff and exhale a tiny amount of it through your nose. In the mouth, out the nose, but not even enough to see. This is a great way to get a solid punch of flavor, it opens up the experience to a wider range of flavors. It's hard to explain how to do it as none of it enters your lungs at all.
 
I think I have mentioned these before (maybe the old place) but these Regius are pretty good and consistent. Medium smoke with an easy draw. Just a good smoke. I was running low and they are on sale, so I’m picking up another 10.

Shows $70 for 10, but 20% discount will be added at checkout, so $56 for 10. Anything non- sale at Atlantic, use “Winter15” as a discount code, for 15% off.

I picked up a Macanudo Inspirado yesterday at the cigar store. Just to try it out. Was really good; might buy a box.

I also mail-ordered 20 De Nobili 5-packs. They smoke slow and are great for working in the shop or driving in the Jeep.

Hmm If you are one of those sophisticates, who hand pick your coffee beans, then gently roast and hand grind them, and brew one cup at a time, this doesn't apply to you. :flipoff2:
To the rest of us working class stiffs. I read an idea today, guy said he uses those tall Folgers plastic coffee containers (Can't really call them a can) as an emergency cigar humidor

Personally, I don't think I would pay over $10 for any of those sticks. They are all decent and probably sell for $10 in a B&M, but you can definitely get any of them on Cigar Bid or Famous Auction for a good deal less.
