Now you guys got me wondering where the 0 in StevO came from.

Not trying to change the subject from the heavy focus on everyone’s anal cavity, but I think i found my new favorite cigar (not stick, point taken).

Padron 4000 Natural. Had one tonight at my local spot. Cost me $11 and I had it with 2 fingers of Blantons. Probably the best cigar I’ve ever had. Had a hiccup halfway through and needed a relight, but overall very smooth and creamy. The preflight draw reminded me of sweet tobacco, think Golden Blend chewing tobocco. The rest of the cigar didn’t disappoint. Very smooth, medium body smoke. Not going to get into flavor profile, because I think that **** is all subjective, just an overall great cigar.

Padron thousand series is a very approachable cigar. I like the Delicias maduro myself

Every x000 I ever smoked had a loose draw... Gave up on them many years ago... But if you love the 4000, try the 64 or 26...

I keep planning on trying the 64 or 26 but bills keep showing up and stealing all my money

I'm in the opposite SteveLetter camp...the SteveR...side....overrated and overpriced, well constructed cigar of consistent blandness

My fav is the 6000 torpedo out of the regular line (it's pretty much the only one I'll buy).

I like all the 64's and 26's I've had as well.

Fire up the grill ! We got fresh meat. Marinade or spice rub?

The 000 series Maduro is one of my favs.....2000 and the 3000, and the Delicias, even the Londres.
I let em sit for at least a year, usually 2, often longer........shallow v-cut......excellent cigar from under 3 to 4 bucks.
Light puffing is the key.........people often hit these too hard.

shallow v-cut

KingoftheCove wrote:

If you have the cash for 3 different V-cutters, here's a great setup:

Shallow V-cut: Xikar VX (lifetime warranty)
Medium V-cut: Xikar VX2 (lifetime warranty)
Deep V-cut: Colibri (short warranty only)

This is the set I use, selecting which one to use based on the nature of each individual cigar (vitola, cap shape/geometry, draw firmness or looseness, etc.)

Most often I use the Xikar VX2 (side note: the red and gunmetal finishes are totally awesome-looking), but the other two definitely have their place and are occasionally optimal.

Yes, it's possible to position the cigar's head differently when cutting, to get different depths of cut with a single cutter.

However, this technique eliminates an otherwise perfectly good excuse to purchase multiple cutters, so I chose to ignore it. [jester]

^^^ I like your way of thinking.

There are only two cuts I like, the V cut and the Dick cut. I have yet to find a punch I like.

Have 2 of the three but held off on getting the VX2 since I already had a Colibri. When a single VX cut wasn’t enough, I’d do an X cut...I might wanna rethink that now.

Honestly, the VX2 is great, you'll love it. Not too shallow, not too deep. The V is not too narrow, or too wide, either. Large, heavy, great-looking and great-feeling piece. Spring-loaded action is smooth and responsive, and you have to press both releases simultaneously, so no accidental openings. Cuts smoothly and nicely.

Find one cheap. I see them on the "Scary" discount site that's run by the "Very Well-Known" cigar company pretty often.

Get either the red or the gunmetal finish though. Trust me. They blow the other finishes away. The red looks like a clear-coated metallic red sports car paint job, gorgeous, and the gunmetal is like a slightly gray-tinted mirror finish. Also gorgeous.
