overall very pleased with the cigarillos. mild, kindof bread tasting with some other interesting flavors. probably will have to let them sit a fair bit more before really being able to tell the background flavors (usually need to let cigars age 1-2 months after purchasing them before they really show the flavors they have and all that. and to get to the humidity you have in the humidor).
will see how they are as they age i guess. definitely worth the $0.29 or so each i paid for them even as is though.
Very tempting
yup, pretty good. they usually have sales as well. oh also.
Yeah watching him and Bradley over on tnt quite a bit recently. I’ll hold off on getting the sampler to make sure I got my humidor properly seasoned. I have the hygrometer, the boveda is coming later this week to calibrate it. It’s all coming together
That sampler is a great deal when you consider the 1 shop within 20 minutes of me only stocks a couple sticks under 10 and even then they’re around 8.
Got some butane, another Manacudo, and a La Aurora Connecticut. Debating on giving my brother the Manacudo.
lol yes I can’t escape it, I’m sure its gonna happen. I’ll just have to tell myself its like this for everyone XD
Maybe if they start with a bong (wouldnt recommend tho)
ye probably right, what you’d say it’d be better starting off with something like a pipe?
much hotter smoke, why I always preferred bongs back in the day.
I don’t think I’d have an issue with hotter smoke? I am asthmatic though so maybe one might agree with me more than the other but I’ll just have to try them both and find out.
ye will have to keep that in mind then, seems like a best place to start as I won’t have to worry about having or using anything extra that I wouldn’t already have.
Not even a pipe. A simple joint/blunt would be great. No need to worry about dropping it, lighting it, etc. You just hit and enjoy.
Depends. The hotter smoke mostly make my throw sore when as a bong will hit deep in the lungs. Much easier to cool your throat with a drink of water then trying to get your lungs to calm down
my hand rolled… pipe-arettes? i guess? with labels and everything lol. not that i really need them as the smells alone differentiate them enough for me to know but meh.
makes for a nice 15-30min smoke each depends on the type of tobacco and how tightly i pack the things. quite enjoyable really.
Cleaned the stem of my bong and holy fuck its soo much better XD. I gotta remember to clean it more
a clean bong is a happy bong? was it interfering with the dispersal of that sweet ?
Ye. What normally takes 0.5 bowl was getting close to 3 and not even getting to the same point
same principle as a clean pipe is a good smoking pipe, lol.
ah, so you can get more much out of it now then, how dirty really was it to get that bad XD
Got the boveda calibration done, hygrometer is reading 3% high. Will let it sit in the humidor overnight to see where that’s sitting currently to see if I need to adjust anything.
So far after a couple hours it’s pretty good, currently displaying 70% (which means 67%). So the humidor is at least in the ballpark of where I want it.
