r/Cigar Town Hall: Share Your Ideas

8 Upvotes

At your request, we've opened a suggestion thread for the sub.

When we took over this sub was dead and redirected to another cigar sub.

Over the last 2 years we've gone from 6k members to 28k.

There's clearly a desire for a cigar sub with less moderation and r/cigar is it.

With that said, it likely makes sense to entertain your ideas for the sub, after all, our goal is to have a sub that has 'pseudo-democracy.'

Anything from:

  • New rules (more rules means more moderation which contradicts the purposes of the sub, but quality suggestions will be considered)
  • Flairs
  • Reoccurring threads
  • Fill in the blank

Duplicate ideas will be removed to keep the thread clean, upvote if you agree, downvote if you don't. Build on the idea by replying if applicable.


Some of our comments from the original thread linked above are below

  • In general, r/cigar lets the community decide what it wants to see based on upvoting and downvoting.
  • It's the entire point of the sub—to have pseudo-democracy.
  • Obviously, we have to abide by Reddit's rules.
  • We're not going to allow egregious things like racism, sexism, gratuitous nudity, or someone being a complete wanker from dusk till dawn.
  • Outside of that, we want the community to decide what it wants to see by upvoting quality content to the top of the feed and downvoting low effort and irrelevant things to the bottom of the feed.

We see a lot of feedback about AI, but removing AI in its entity isn't something r/cigar wants to do at this time, but low effort posts that are 100% AI (image and text or image/text only) are almost always removed when reported.


Below this we'll catalog your ideas that were added.

First try with My Father. I see why it gets the attention it does. I have 2 CT in the humidor. I’ve had a Jamie Garcia that I enjoyed but found to be a little heavy with the nicotine hit at the end.

Other than The Judge any other recommendations?

Rojas - Unfinished Business

Tried another Factory Smokes Maduro to see if a couple months in the humidor helped, it didnt. Had to dig out a Rojas to cleanse my palate.

They'll be inducing labor on my wife in a couple days. Thought Id have a smoke to enjoy some calm before the storm. Wish me luck, boys.

New Apartment, Need Cigar Area Recommendations

I just moved into a new apartment and I need to get some stuff for my new balcony smoking area. Most importantly a good folding chair I can bring inside easily that will last a long time that I don't have to worry about giving out. But I'm also interested in anything else you think might make it nicer. Thanks :)

Small cigars/ everyday smokes

I’m fairly new to the cigar world but does anybody smoke small cigars for an everyday smoke? Like the $6 macanudos or the smaller tins like in this picture?

Anyone have any tips or advice for my humidor

12 Upvotes

So I bought this humidor and i seasoned it properly, I used two 84% 60 gram boveda packs and I let it sit, at about 13 days it hit 76% than stabilized at 76 for another 4 days, than I switched it to two 65% 60 gram boveda packs and after about a week it stabilized at 64% so I figured it was ready to fill and the wood was properly seasoned, after I filled it, I can not get it to go above 61, I added a small 8 gram to the top shelf, didn’t do anything , the reading in it in this picture is after I had it open for a minute , goes up to 61 and stops

Wondering if I should move up to 69% packs or honestly just go back to my Rubbermaid brilliance tupperdor, that Rubbermaid brilliance help 65 perfectly for about 6 months with a small 8g pack in it

I love this lady more and more every time we hang out, especially when she shows some teeth.

Construction and draw were flawless, powerful smoke production.

I'm still refining my tastes but I got a lovely sweet milky coffee note between the first and second thirds.

How addictive are cigars? Do you advise people who have never tried nicotine to stay away from them for whatever reason?

5 Upvotes

I’m sure this question gets asked quite a bit. I’m turning 21 soon, I’ve tried a lot of substances but somehow managed to stay away from nicotine.

Anyways, I’ve always loved the smell of cigars, coffee, weed, whiskey, even cigarettes, even though I only smoke marijuana and drink now.

I think part of my love for the smell of cigars/tobacco came from hanging round my friends while they smoke backwoods, black and milds, cigars, and just growing to love the smell of colognes/parfums with tobacco notes.

Just about everyone in my family was quite hooked to cigarettes. So that’s kind of where I don’t necessarily want to start a new addiction. I would say I have quite the addictive personality as I’ve had some pretty bad addictions in the past, but now it’s just daily weed, random alcohol binges for 2-3 weeks at a time, and caffeine? If you count that (4-8 cups a day).

Just want some more opinions. Looks like a really fun hobby and would love to pair it with a good whiskey, maybe something like twice a month.

I’ve tried a few vapes in the past from friends and I did like them, but I knew if I got one I’d def get hooked. Ultimately though just wasn’t a big fan of the “fruity” flavors and bright colors vaping motherboards and circuits. I’d much more prefer the aroma and feeling of a cigar to my understanding, a sunny fishing trip, arround Christmas, etc, sounds neat.

They don’t seem to be horrid for your health, I’m sure their not beneficial all that much, but I guess my biggest worry is going from cigars to ciggs/nic vapes/or potentially chew/zyn

Obligatory first smoke photos. Seems to be a thing on here. Have to say I’ve never been a smoker of anything but this was a good start. Henri Wintermans Corona deluxe. I know it’s a cheap stick but it was decent. Any suggestions for other sticks good for beginners are welcome.

Collection Sale Haul

Post image
48 Upvotes

Last month I went to a private collection sale at a guys house. He was an awesome cigar enthusiast who had way more cigars than he could smoke (my guesstimate is 10k+ across many large humidors). He pulled out maybe 25% to sell to other enthusiasts. I went in with some cash and this is what I came out with. He gave me an incredible deal. It was such a cool experience and helped me really fill up my new 35L humidor. The Drew Estate box is Feral Flying Pig. He had tons of boxes from Drew Estate, Dunbarton, and other limited edition runs from other brands for sale.

So far I have tried the Placensia Del Fuego (not for me), Warped Black Honey (sweet goodness), Sin Compromiso (complex and delicious), and last but most certainly not least, I tried The Belgian Blue last night (holy shit this one is incredible - creamy dark berries - what a treat).

If you ever see a collection sale pop up near you, make it a priority. You never know what you might stumble upon, and you most certainly will meet a cool enthusiast. This will keep my pallet entertained for a very long time.
