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?

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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
