Do you smoke those ones with the leaf sticking out the bottom like normal or do you have to clip it off or something? I have never ran into those types before.

Ismith75 02-01-2011 06:15 PM

Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!
 
You can do both. I prefer to clip it off, I find it burns better.

Bill86 02-01-2011 06:16 PM

Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!
 
I clipped MOST of the leaf off the bottom I left a 1/8 inch or so. I got another I'll probably light up the loose foot. Whichever works better is what my 3rd and final summerfest will get.

kelmac07 02-01-2011 06:17 PM

Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!
 
I smoked my first one with it on...took about 20 minutes to get to the stick. The rest have been cut off. :2

zappaFREAK 02-02-2011 08:13 AM

Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!
 
Smoke it all baby!! Part of the experience of the stick IMHO. Anyway you want to do it is fine as long as it is lit!!

Never had a summerfest, how to you light the damn thing since the foot is open??

Hopefully, this isn't a dumb question, but yeah, inquiring minds need to know.

Bill86 02-02-2011 08:51 AM

Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!
 
I personally took it down with the MTX scissors the cigar lasts about an hour and a half as is. The extra foot would push it into a 2 hour stick. That's a bit much for me and it is one of my favorite Viajes. If you don't have the Xikar MTX scissors watch Cigarmonster for them they are a very nice cutter. They can easily chop a 52-54 ringer right in half with no difficulty. I haven't tried anything bigger. "TWSS"

Anyways I'm sure a Palio or any other cutter would work fine. I left part of the shaggy foot but only maybe 1/8 - 1/4 inch.

Look into getting some, they are very good sticks at a reasonable price of $8-$10. Speaking of which I need to buy more.

So, are these any good? I've been thinking about them, but I'd like to get a couple to try before springing for a whole box. Of course, if they are not in my flaovr profile, even that'd be a poor expenditure.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Ranger_B 02-02-2011 09:00 PM

Re: Show your latest NC purchase II!
 
Rev you are going to love these. Have you had any of the other sizes? If I had anymore I would send you a couple. Ill check the B&M and see if there are anymore. I want more any how so if I find some I will grab a few extra.

I haven't had any of these in any size. I wasn't real excited about LAs for a while, but then i had a barrel aged and a 1492 and they excited me enough to give these a new look. THe Cameroons weren't all that exciting, but these sounded like they have an interesting pedigree and flavor profile.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Here are my very biased thoughts.

It's good, rather good. I prefer the Corona (which seems to be a near universal preference) over the Lancero, but those two for me are the best in the line by a significant gap.
