Jake, sorry the Mighty Mighty wasn't as good as the other vitolas! How did you like the Olancho? The Genesis Habano by Ramon Buesos was one of my favorite every day sticks.... |
| 51857. Author: Jakethesnake86 | Date: Thu, 1/28/2021, 8:05PM EST | |
Hey Carson how are you buddy? Hope you’re in good health!
The mighty mighty I smoked was one I had laying around for a little while. The one you gave me is a maduro. I haven’t gotten around to it yet. The olancho here is smoking flawless and honestly I’m enjoying it. Just getting towards the last third. Almost sweet which surprised me. I expected it to be a rugged powerhouse but it’s been tame. I don’t have a super refined palate by any means but I can tell if I enjoy a stick or don’t. Lol I’m enjoying it sir thanks a lot. |

You'll find size differences can make a difference in the experience. I tend towards smaller gauges generally |
| 51859. Author: Jakethesnake86 | Date: Thu, 1/28/2021, 8:44PM EST | |
Sunover. I’m learning that. I’m typically 50 ring guage kinda guy. Or smaller. I had read the larger gauges tend to be more flavorful..... I tend to disagree. That said I think you’ll like the Churchill melanio it’s 50 or 52 a winner.
I realize brick house isn’t an 11 dollar stick but that one last night was a dud.
My brick and mortar shop owner recommended me a specific stick he said was his favorite. I didn’t buy but need to go back down there. He said the other vitolas weren’t even close. I like to buy some smokes here and there from him but after finding this place. Well there’s plenty of very good cigars here at very good prices. |
| 51860. Author: Sunoverbeach | Date: Thu, 1/28/2021, 8:49PM EST | |
I subscribe to the theory that a lot of flavor comes from the wrapper so a higher wrapper to filler ratio works for me. Not a hard and fast rule, but a decent guideline for me |

Never had any of those. I think I’ve been hunting for the perfect cheap stick lol. I’m sure we all do. I try to only smoke expensiveish stuff on the weekend. Considering I take my hobbies a bit overboard it’s likely I’ll end up rolling a few cigars at some point. I’ve done a touch of research on the topic. If I ever do roll something smokeable I’ll be sure to send some out. |

For a short period I was on a 100% Kona coffee kick but it got me so amped up, my wife made me cutback. Started to mix the 100% with 10% beans to come up with a 35% blend. Flavorful with a throttled back kick, I loved it! Unfortunately, after a disastrous crop year due to bugs, prices shot up and (of course) have never come down since so no longer make that blend. |

@jsnyder. The red dot. Well for my personal taste. It’s just not flavorful enough. I want to like it. But I won’t buy again. I had that one with coffee but wasn’t enough to really satisfy me.
They are calling it medium. I’m not finding that to be the case. I feel like it’s an ultra light. Again my palate is garbage but I’m just not digging that one. I’ve got around 11 or so left. They’ll probably be in my humidor for years. I’ll try them again another day. Just a little light for me. Even in the morning.
I have some cohiba black. That’s more of a powerful dark cigar so I’d try the Nicaraguan |
