Lunch time smoke. 🇨🇮

Nice "lunch time" smoke my friend! On the course I see.

yes...but not golfing. 🤦 I don't think I've golfed in over a year. 😞

I feel your pain although it's with fishing. I used to get out 100 times a year or so and now i'm lucky to make it

two or three. But never smoking something as nice........

I've been hoarding these for a while. I took one out to take with me on our FL trip last week, and I noticed the others in the box were starting to grow mold. 🤦 It's not too bad right now, and this one was one the least affected in the bunch. I figured I better start smoking them before they totally went to crap. The churchills, in cello, were fine. The tubos are the problem.

WOW! better burn those tubes quick! wonder why the tubes have that issue? I thought tubes were "safer".?

ELITIST! Where is the $100 bill you burned to light that thing?!? [sarcasm]

Im just jealous 🤦

I saw one of those once.

Was it any good?

An '05. Nice age on that baby! 🇨🇮

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure.

It moved.

Spectacular with undertones of mold?

At least your son and his friends didn't smoke it!

Welcome to the world of Fuente cigars wrapped in cedar (or in tubos). Seems you gotta keep a closer eye on them, moreso than other brands. 🤔

Wait... what?

Tubos I can understand silly metal but cedar...

Does that mean I have to dump them all out of my boxes (after all they are cedar too) or just the Fuentes?

Sounds like another one of those 'cigar disposal' tactics...

Thars cedar in them thar tubos too.

I don't know. I've just heard people mention to check on certain [Fuente] cigars becuase they tend to mold quickly (i.e. Anejos). Not sure why. It could be the humidity in the humidor in addition to the humipacks that are also placed in the boxes at the factory. 🤔 The box🇪🇸 of GOF I picked up did have the humipacks in them IIR, but I removed those about the same time I received them. I bought a box of Sharks a few years back, and never even cracked the cellophane off the box for about 1.5 years or more. The talk of mold (along with my general curiosity to just see the cigars) made me open the box. Fortunately, there were no issues even with the humipack still in it.

Just checked my Anejos,all is good,so good I just fired one up mmmmm!
