June 11, 201214 yr Author Mine got delivered today!! Now to get it all set up and head to party source to look at cigars (granted i have no clue what i am looking at) Smoke a few of these and figure out which ones you like or dislike. Go to CI's website, look up the individual cigar and see what the blend and the wrap are. It won't take long to learn the difference between a mild Connecticut sun grown broadleaf and a rich oily Maduro. Years ago, I kept a notebook of what I smoked made notes of the fillers and wraps, now a days you can just do it in your phone. That way when you go shopping, you'll be able to say, I really liked this or I really liked that. Personally I recommend that your first few purchases be samplers. That'll give you a better base to go by.
June 13, 201214 yr Got my sampler yesterday. Smoked my Cohiba Red Dot Robusto. I enjoyed it. I had to do a little research before I smoked it. I didn't know that you should take your time to smoke a cigar (45 minutes plus depending on the size). I've always just puffed away. Very relaxing now that I know that. The smell was great, smoked nice and even. As far as flavors go I can't really point them out as I'm not skilled in that area just yet. It was an enjoyable experience nonetheless. Thanks for the heads up CWF.
June 13, 201214 yr Author That Red Dot smokes flawlessly almost every time. I would recommend the Padilla next. Nice earthy flavor, see if you can pick up a hint of cocoa flavor in there. Edited June 13, 201214 yr by coldweatherfan
June 17, 201214 yr Author Well I hope everyone who wanted the humidor special got it. Looks like it's over. The herf special is still there though.
June 19, 201214 yr Author Room 101 event tonight at Jefferson Hall. This is a kind of under the radar boutique cigar by Camacho. Quite good. Would be well worth the trip over if you're in the area.
