Thanks for the enabling!

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

just sayin, most opus at my B&M range from the high teens to the high 20s

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Looks like an Opus X Double Corona, I believe I paid the same ~$20 for the two I had.

I haven't smoked too many Opus X, they aren't my thing, but I loved the double corona.

Hopefully you have the same experience.

Can somebody explain to this noob what NC means?

Example: "Show your latest NC purchase".

New Cigars?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

NC= Non Cuban

Here is a thread with a list of some common acronyms.

Haha Oh man, I feel dumb because I just got that application for my Iphone that has my humidor inventory saved and you have to select Cuban or Non-Cuban. Didn't put it together.

Thanks for the insight.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

No worries Shane...it stumped me for a bit when I first got on the forums too. The acronym thread Dom linked is really useful for all the forum/cigar jargon we ramble on about :tu

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Lol, it took me a while to know what this meant at first too. I thought it was Nicotine cigars when I first started smoking. :D

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

When I first saw "NC" I thought it meant "No Charge" -- and I thought, Great! :rolleyes:

how do you get a perfect cut on cigar i have a guilotene cutter and it doesnt work right 3/4 of the time

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

Lay the cutter flat and cut, make sure you cut swiftly with enough force. For me if I cut too slow it will not cut perfectly. What kind of cutter do you have?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

its just a basic cutter from smoke shop

You can also click on the small scale image on the bottom left of one of your own posts to see your rep number. FYI

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

I would recommend investing in a good cutter if you are serious about this hobby. You will save many cigars from being destroyed by a cheap blade.

I have 3 Palio's and love them all. The oldest has been cutting cigars to perfection for 4 years. http://www.cigarmony.com/palio.aspx

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

the one i've got in there isn't calibrated, but with my 65% i've got a reading of 70% so i figured it couldnt be TOO inaccurate. but regardless what stumped me is that even if the pack does run low and gives me, say 60%, i figured my sticks could get a little more humid than they are. unless 60% is far too low

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
 

My Preference Is The 62-66 Range.:tu
