Hey!

How long (if at all) should a cigar come out of the humi before smoking it?

Thanks!
Greg

Dont take them out until you are ready to smoke them. Assuming you are storing at proper RH levels, they are ready to go when you take it out. Keeping them out of the humi for any period of time, unsealed will just dry them out and over a few days to a week can ruin your cigars flavor.

Ok, here's a question I want somebody to answer for me. How do you decide when you have enough for the time being and should smoke down your stash before buying more.....or is my problem just that I need another/bigger humidor?

I wish there was an answer for this as I cannot stop buying cigars!! Get a few coolers and keep ordering brother you think you are done and then you find another deal.

Thanks George
You can actually buy some cheap pencil/pen holders to hold those loose cigars. I just got 10 at Meijers here for .39 each- don't think you have that store in Mass-but I'm sure you can get similar at Wallyworld or the like.

Sometimes when my ash falls offf, my next draw tastes bitter.

Should I purge when the ash falls?
Should I be purging at times throughout the smoke?

I normally let the ash fall off naturally. It's usually about an inch long.

Thanks.

I know guys that do it all the time. I used to then realized I was doing it when I didn't really have to. Try it and see what happens. I would think it would help.

Here is a question for the thread. How do the makers of the tobacco infuse flavors into the cigar. For instance one may say that a cigar tastes of leather and coffee beans. But how is that flavor added?

Thanks

The tobacco sits in a room with whatever the infusion ingredient is and tobacco soaks it all up. Or some tobacco is aged in wiskey to other barrels used for alcohol and the baccy picks up those flavors. As for ACIDS, over 200 different natural herbs and Asian oils line the walls of his factory’s cuarto aromatico (aroma room) where the tobacco sits and soaks it up. I also think that some company's will use an extract directly sprayed onto the tobacco.

A non-infused cigars tobacco can have alot of natural flavors like leather or coffee beans, chocolate, spice, etc.

You can infuse your own cigars if you let one sit in a bag or box with a shot of your favorite alcohol and the cigar will pick up that flavor.

These flavors are not added, but are natural flavor characteristics of the tobacco. Many different types of tobaccos from many different countries and many different sub-regions are grown and cured in many different ways to offer a huge range of possible flavors found in cigars. The flavors themselves are what we percieve to be similar to other flavors, such as leather and coffee beans, although in actuality the cigar (obviously) just tastes like tobacco.

Honestly, if you are going to smoke a cigar riding a bicycle, look for some crappy wood tipped cigars. They will solve your problems and will not waste your money. The wind when riding will cause the cigar to burn very hot, fast and crooked, it will turn a good cigar bad really fast.
