dB69 Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 It's time to start the new year with some new cigars. At first I have to play some tetris to fit them in my humidor. Ramon Allones Allones Extra EL 2011, RUE JUN11. Partagas Serie du Connaisseur #2, LSM JUN07.
dB69 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Posted January 3, 2012 No pain - no gain, gentlemen! And what they say about early birds?
LeafLover Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Seeing those brought a smile to my face. Thanks for sharing.

AlexOk Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Partagas Serie du Connaisseur #2, JUN07. A great cigar! Very elegant. Congrats on your good taste. I've some Boxes of MAI07 and I love them!
dB69 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 Got a scale today for weighing cigars. For now on I will weigh out every cigar I'm going to smoke to learn something about consistency and such things. The scale is a cheap one and not the most accurate, but if I see this experiment of investigating cigars a useful way to be able to pick the best possible cigar when I want one, then I will buy a better scale. Just tested some cigars and there are actually quite big differences between cigars in a same box. (I'm not a freak I'm just interested, right? )
dB69 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 Trevor and Rob posted about cigar weights and resulting density and such in a previous thread. It was interesting, but I cant find it right now. Here it is: http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=93095
CanuckSARTech Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Interesting. A fair bit of time and effort to invest, but I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for any updates or findings that you pass along. I think it would be interesting to see the correlation between fill-weight and performance.

cigaraholic Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 So weighing what you smoke isn't just a Northern California thing?
dB69 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 So weighing what you smoke isn't just a Northern California thing? Ha-ha! I think the grass is greener in California, but maybe "Northern" is the keyword for weighing...
cigaraholic Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Always wondered what a B & M would think of me if I pulled out a scale before buying a cigar. It's quite an eye opener when you check a box, usually quite a swing in weights. Opened a box of Punch DC's and the first one I grabbed felt light so I checked it, it was. Checked the whole box and only 4 were at or above the published weight. Lowest was 15 grams and highest was 21 grams, how this box made it thru QC.......... The cigars have all been fantastic that I've smoked, smoking time probably varies but I've never checked.
Lotusguy Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Funny - your box also says "Montecarlo" - I have one that says "Montecarlos" and one that says "Montecarlo"... Great sticks and really affordable
dB69 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 Funny - your box also says "Montecarlo" - I have one that says "Montecarlos" and one that says "Montecarlo"... Great sticks and really affordable From which years are your boxes? Mine is from 2011. They are very good indeed and excellent for the price.
Lotusguy Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 From which years are your boxes? Mine is from 2011. They are very good indeed and excellent for the price. My Montecarlos are from 2010 and my Montecarlo are from 2009
dB69 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 My Montecarlos are from 2010 and my Montecarlo are from 2009 Quite funny. Someone in Cuba is trying to confuse too careful smokers.
Strada Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I really enjoy Montecarlo, older boxes 04-05 have a sweeeeet taste to them! Goood affordable cigars
