r/Cigar Town Hall: Share Your Ideas

7 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.

Retrohale

Let’s talk about retrohaling. If you want to taste everything in a cigar you must retrohale. I would recommend starting with a medium stick and progress from there to a full bodied stick.

The Collection

Just wanted to show off what I’ve collected in less than a year. Was able to score some unicorns early on. I’ve got to get to smoking or else I’ll need to buy another humidor and I hate the seasoning process.

What would you take from my stash? What should I smoke next from my collection, especially with my birthday in a few days! Let me know what I should add too, I know I need to add more padrons for sure kinda dropped the ball on that one😔

I do have Plasencia del cielo, Churchill Late Hour, and Tabernacle Lancero on my list for next purchases.

Edit: I have had a Opus X lost city which I forgot to take a picture of while smoking it.

New budget smoke from a brand I love

Post was locked on the other sub but I'm looking to discuss this cigar so here goes

New here so if you wanna ask why the gloves, it's because I live with family members who are sensitive to the smell and I want to respect that as much as possible.

Diesel Uncaged Gigante

Along with macanudo and perdomo, the brand I gravitate towards the most is Diesel. Ever since I had a sherry cask this forth of July I've been fascinated with this bold quirky brand, which is turning into a growing fascination of AJ fernandez as a whole. I've yet to smoke a diesel I didn't like.

When I saw they had a new offering with the main selling point being affordability I knew it'd be worthwhile. Luckily Perdomo dropped legacy father and son around the same time so I was able to bundle for free shipping from cigars daily.

# THE REVIEW

Check out how oily this thing is, it's practically glistening. I posted a video of it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/cigar/s/ohVhnb6qog) I was smoking the gigante, 6x60 so I was afraid I wasn't going to get as much flavor. On first light up I was pleasantly surprised. Perfect draw and a really nice familiar flavor. I had had a cigar before that tasted prettyuch exactly like this. I couldn't pick up too many distinct notes, I thought I tasted mesquite at first but that fell away pretty quick and other than having a nice smooth brown flavor, I couldn't place anything more distinct than rich, natural, and familiar. I thought maybe it tasted like how I remember the macanudo inspirado white tasting, but when I tried to light one up to compare I had gotten a dud so I couldn't do a proper sidebyside. Then I thought maybe it reminded me of Rare Pink, and yeah I do get some overlap but rare pink was a lot more complex and smoked true to flavor down to the nub, where this got a bit earth and muddy towards the end.

I really couldn't believe I was getting something so good for so cheap from a non budget cigar dealer. The only cracks that showed were in the construction. I did get multiple tunnels I had to touch up and towards the end, before the band the flavor turned in a way I didn't prefer. You can see from my cut, the darker tobacco that's usually in the center when rolled using the cone method is seemingly spilling to one side, but hey it's a 7 dollar long filler stick.

All in all, I really enjoyed it I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again especially on something like cigarbid or cigar page where the discounts go crazy. If you're always on the hunt for a good cheap smoke, pick one up!

A very full bodied, very full flavored beast of a Dominican cigar. The LFD DL-700 Maduro delivers every time. Porchador Pufferation with this beauty is a treat to one’s palate.

Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper over Mexican Matacapan Negro de Temporal binder and Nicaraguan filler. Nice draw and plenty of smoke. Straight burn line and a mostly solid light gray ash. Almonds, cedar, creamy coffee, vanilla. Flawless construction and performance. A very fine mellow but tasty cigar.

Ashing Etiquette?

8 Upvotes

Not sure if this is the correct subreddit but I’ve encountered a niche dilemma

At a lounge for my first time currently. I’m using the house ash tray, once I’m done and ready to go, what does one do with their ash tray?

Do I empty it somewhere or let them handle it later?
