Marevas (2/5)

Siglo4 Eml Jun15 Cigar feels well filled no soft spots, even through out. Aroma at cold , slight musk ( box had 4 out of 25 left) Cut type : punch Opening draw sweet grass , into 1/4 lemongrass , almost like vanilla with mild washed out cloves . Very pleasant . End of 1:4 2/4 opening , flavors are more intense Sweet cloves more present on forefront , lemongrass comes in waves , minor hints of sweet licorice , very enjoyable flavors right now feeling happy ! Ash is holding on very tight , End of 2/4 flavors of licorice , clove , cedar on the fore front while leaving a lightly toasted lemongrass after taste . 3/4 Licorice becoming more rich, toasted lemongrass , mild touch of sweet biscuits , cigar flavors are transitioning to harsh flavor , time to put down . Throughout the cigar , no touch ups . Ashed once at the half way point with a gentle tap. A very pleasant unwinding time . I find the siglo4 a very multi function cigar , great for mornings , afternoon or a night cigar . Also considering it’s price point in my opinion the best value in the siglo line up. It’s availability is good . Fantastic construction . A solid 93 out of 100 Thanks for reading and i hope you've enjoyed!

Help me out on a Cohiba question
joejack11 replied to El Presidente's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
I don’t have pictures of uneven bands . I have seen boxes of cigars from habanos with uneven bands. what I can say and add is the following facts. -Cuba is Cuba , their quality control is not exactly world class -had a proper box of LE’s with uneven and loose bands , -humidity can cause the cigar to be slightly skinner or thicker which can cause the bands to be loose ( I suspect this is the case ) -if you earn 20usd a month , and your just putting bands on all day , Issues with some bands being more loose is common -again humidity can cause a cigar to shrink a bit to cause the bands to be loose and uneven ! -
Humidity & Temperature Controller
joejack11 replied to Philc2001's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Do you write the programs to your PLC yourself ? Or do you have a company that does that ? Also do you have the controllers built to your specs in terms of relay contacts quality gold plate, platinum , copper, etc etc. Furthermore , the controller your using sounds quite nice. I like . And yes I mean with those controller package size , there's several NC and NO contacts that can switch open and close etc. Johnson controls here has a newer version of the a419 which I believe does heat and cool. But is not small controller format . I like where your heading with the controls , any plans on adding a network modem ? Example My e2 controller has a network modem, so with the MAC address , I can log into the controller remotely to graph temps and humidity for 1month down to 5 second increments. My thoughts would be cool to have a network module so the end user / commissioner can make program changes if ever needed to ensure product integrity. Btw I'm from the US , not too fimilar with European brands but I do have experience with Danfoss from Denmark which also makes controls and PLC. Justin Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

@pigfish Nice i like the controller on your older post, reminds me alot of Dixell controllers, ( but i know theres so many different brands that share a similar faceplate look ) Im Currently used to using CPC sensors, along with a CPC emerson E2 controller.when i set up Controls for customers. -
cubans with light wrapper
joejack11 replied to corneliusmaximus's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
In my experience , you don't know what you got till you light it up . Cuban cigars are like a box of chocolates . One may taste good , next great , next 95point cigar , next blah , blah and blah and so on . -
Can anyone shed some light on this ?

The Chinese are always getting jipped. -
You gotta use a spray bottle with hf beads. And they discolor over time maybe from oils / vapor in the cigar ? I'm not sure . But my hf beads stay clear for 1-2 years . They work well , they don't crack just discolor and has a interesting smell . I noticed keep the cooler at 65 degrees set point will extend the color of the beads. One my next order I'm going to try hcm beads, a lot more expensive . But from what I been hearing it's better . Oh and yes distilled water only .
