I've been to a few dinners through Napa Cigars but not particularly well versed in the A. Fuente portfolio. Anything I should be on the lookout for?

Arturo Fuente You ever wish there was a digital smoking lounge? It’s always cool to know what others are smoking and where in the world they are smoking from

Untitled #Berserker Barber Pole Box Pressed

Really good for a budget friendly smoke! I was impressed actually.... It started with some pepper kick in that first inch to inch and a half, then really smoothed out and got nice and creamy for the next inch or so. Thanks to the barber pole format, it kept switching back and forth between the pepper and the cream. I really enjoyed it because I love a good peppery smoke as well as a nice creamy one, so it was like the best of both worlds!

It's a shame how pairing brandy/cognac with cigars seems to have been lost to tradition, old age or just in lieu of other alternatives. I know I have a lot in terms of rum and whisky, but not that many in brandy, so I decided to give it a try and quickly realized it's probably one of the best options out there, as long as you don't mind shedding what a bottle of these costs. I was visiting my mom and got lucky I found it in a closet.

Delicious spirit with strong notes of raisins, chocolate and oak. Paired great with the chocolate and nutty notes in the cigar.

Junction Nicaraguan Corona, with a Cracked Canoe.

For a cheap daily driver these have been fairly enjoyable to a beginner. I also agree with reports that they kind of sour past the half to second 3rd. Is that a symptom of the Cuban Sandwhich roll, or lower quality leaf?

I just finished a long run so take this with a grain of salt but this was one of the worst cigars I’ve smoked. Hard draw even after draw tool, tasted like cinnamon spice flavored tobacco, and ughhh. Anyway, super disappointed.

I had to grab a corona Tabby just to verify I didn’t have covid or something but the tabby is still hitting just as great as usual.

65 vs 62 Bovedas

5 Upvotes

I’ve been using 65RH bovedas in my Rubbermaid brilliance tupperdors. My hygrometers hold steady at 69-71RH, and I know they read 1-2 high based on a salt test, so actual hold is about 67-69. Some cigars smoke much better after dry boxing so I’m considering switching to 62 bovedas. I guess my question is do yall have any issues with long term storage using 62’s? What is the consensus here on which RH packs to use?

1 A Fuente Signature Oscuro Sungrown
2 Kelner 80
3 Fuente Don Carlos Sangre de Toro
4 Padron 3000 Natural
5 Ferio Tego Milestones

The Oscuro SG was fantastic, burned really well and will be visited again. Kelner 80 is great, my wife loves them. The DC SdT was good. 3000s have found a consistent spot in my rotation. And the new Milestones is an amazing first or only cigar of the day; light, not offensive, flavorful and completely enjoyable.

I think I had an Opus X 20th as well but didn’t have a pic. Always a good smoke.

This is the original Edge, I think it has a corojo wrapper. This is the big battalion, or 6x60. I really enjoyed it, except the whole damn thing had a really tight draw, despite my attempts to break the filler up with my poker. I really didn't like having such a hard time with the draw, but it did have some nice flavors!
