I do not know that it is the flavor that changes based upon the way you draw. However, it may be that you are playing closer attention to things when you draw slower. |
Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Thank you everyone I do note that too hard and too fast are bad. Maybe it is in my head that the flavors change that much

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Hey guys,
Seems to me that the "coolidors" don't have cedar lining for the most part. Is this important or not? |

I used coolers for a few years and just threw cedar spills (the cedar dividers in boxes) and a couple of cedar blocks. It's a bonus but Tom is correct. Not necessary. |
Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
So whats the real purpose of cedar in a humidor anyway? I can't imagine it adds flavor, it holds humidity at the rate of most wood, it doesn't make cigar multiply. Im not convinced that it has benefit

Might be doing one as I am forced to do something due to my inability to control myself on Cbid. I might just bite the bullet and get on of these. Anybody have one that has advice?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Anyone know where to pick up decent priced Opus X? I am keen to try these as everyone raves about them but can't seem to find anything less than 26$/stick

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Tampasweethearts.com .....You have to call and see what they have in stock, they usually don't list the Opus and Anejo on the site. They sell 'em for MSRP.

Why are they sold out now? New Years? What is the ONE to try out of the Opus X? |
Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Quote:
Because Fuente only releases a limited number of them per year, usually twice a year. Most shops only get 2-4 boxes. The late-year release is typically around early-mid November and usually the places offering them at MSRP sell out before the December holidays. The ONE to try, hard to say, everyone is going to have their own opinion here, but I would say the "xXx" aka: Power Ranger, which is a short belicoso. It gives a good representation of the line without being overly "anything" and isn't so long a cigar that it bores you to tears. |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Anyone have an idea how to help a cigar with poor draw? I have some cuban Romeo y Julieta gifted to me that they were going to toss due to being a couple years old and not properly stored. They are rehydrated but draw is like sucking mud through a straw...

Soak cigar in cold water for a few seconds. Put immediately in fridge for about a week. The point is to prevent mold & ammonia; fridge takes out the water pretty well. Once completely dry, put in humidor and wait a few weeks until humid and normalized. Figure, if the cigars are known to be tight, what is the risk? Would love to hear if anybody has tried this. |

Guitar string straight through the middle and a little in and out motion helps me. Don't use the ones with the brass on them I'm pretty sure they would tear smoething up. I think it's the lowest string on the guitar that I'm using(I don't play so I have no real Idea of which it is).

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I've had the most luck lopping the entire cap off, going at it viciously with a draw poker and then dry boxing them for 12-24 hours.
If that doesn't work then it wasn't meant to be and I just chuck it. Sometimes too I've looked for the knot in the cigar, hopefully it's at one of the ends, and lopped off that much. Might waste 20-25 minutes out of the cigar but it might also save the rest. |

Leave cellophane on the box or no?
When I get singles, if it came with cellophane, I leave it on. But what about a box in a cooler or rubbermaid? |

Cello breathes. So it's really not an issue in that regard. |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
yeah, cello isn't plastic, put a wrapper in water and see what happens after a bit.

I got a creepy call from a tall stringed instrument once and it didn't say a word. It just breathed into the phone... Terrible pun, sorry. But yes. Cellophane breathes to a certain extent. Not as much as naked sticks (no comment from the peanut gallery), but it's not entirely airtight I don't think. But I'm probably wrong. |
