Never smoked a cigar. Does it willing stay like that or is it like a cigarette where its just waiting to fall off?
Yes. It actually has a functional purpose in that it helps keep the cherry nice and cool so your smoke stays a very pleasant temperature. It will fall off when it decides to, generally a really well constructed cigar (depending on leaf type of course) will get a nice long ash, like that villiger I smoked awhile back that had its first ash fall in the final third.

I’m not really a fan of cubans it turns out. Too mild for my palate. I’ve got the big brother to that Partagas there, the Serie E no. 2. Not a bad cigar (It was cigar aficionado’s #3 cigar of 2016 after all), just not right for my palate. I think I’d enjoy the Bolivar more since they’re supposed to be more full bodied compared to other cubans (which isn’t really saying much).
I like a lot of the milder cigars if done well; if only because I can actually handle having a whole one in an hour or so. Some of the strong cigars I love the taste of but would take like 2-3 hours for me to actually finish lol.

To illustrate what @ThatBootsGuy was saying; this means it’s hot and may influence the flavor especially at the end of the cigar like this. The ash allows it to cool more allowing for a better flavor profile, as the tobacco is able to get toasted before being burnt. Rather than being so hot it just burns- leading to the typical acidic almost cigarette flavor.

If you like that you should try the Master Blend 5 by oliva. Or… Well any of the rest of Oliva cigars lol they are are decent to great.

The connecticut was alright, The 3 different infernos I’ve had are good, I love the G (I’ve got 7 tubos left), Cain and Nub are great, and I’ve got a serie V in the humidor resting that I’m really excited for
Master blend III is great, as are the Serie V. (Other post I got them confused lol). I have had some of the lower end ones but not a ton; nubs are neat. I forget all the Oliva brand cigars but they get quite good.
Holt’s has a mega deal for the Master Blend III btw, 20 of them for like $70. Sometimes as low as $50 on sale depending.
Perdomo 10 and perdomo 20 are also up there for me; both are good mid range price wise sticks. Usually are similar to the oliva higher end cigars price wise. They also come in the original version; or Maduro versions if you like them darker.
Smoke for today; AB The Lineage. A bit stronger than the above, pretty good flavors. Pairs well with a porter. Another good budget stick.

lol when legal weed costs less than illegal weed but its still costs more than illegal weed elsewhere in a state where it isn’t legal? I thought legalisation of this would make things cheaper not more expensive? time to corner the market to undercut the under cutters? XD

Yes but the cartel drive a hard bargain
EDIT: If weed ever becomes legal at the federal level the cartel will probably buy a massive area of land for pennies on the dollar and have half grown plants out there the next night XD
