  1. The wrapper leaf itself holds it in place. Watch the video, or try and wrap a present in wrapping paper. The overlap of the wrap is why you don't need glue. It starts at the foot and goes like this: |/////
  2. Hi P Diddy, thanks for the welcome.
  3. Thanks, Monk.
  4. Not far from you, Joey, I am in Walton. Smoking get-together once the weather improves?
  5. Thanks guys/gals. Waiting for today's offers anxiously. Hah
  6. Hi all, My third post on the forum. Seems like I do things in reverse order. I was probably dropped on my head as an infant. I didn't realise this specific forum existed until today as I was browsing and thought I should perhaps come in and say hello. Been enjoying and smoking cigars for about 25 years, mainly been buying retail or airport duty free and when I started to search recently to buy more cheaply online this forum kept popping up in discussions. So I browsed around for a few days and then registered. Still not bought anything yet because my humidor is rather full and I haven't yet seen anything in boxes of 10-15 which I liked. So hello to you all, nice to meet you.
  7. This is only my second post on the forum so please go easy on me, but this is a topic of interest. I have to say that (in my view) people make it too complicated. I have been smoking cigars for 25 years and one thing I have learned in that time is this - a cigar fresh from a box can often-times be the best cigar as an aged one or equally average/rubbish. However, and more importantly, unless you are tasting two identical cigars side-by-side I would bet good money that we are not very good at distinguishing the variations in taste produced due to maturity - if it even occurs in the first place. Again, in my view, there are so many external and internal variables to change how a cigar smokes that to try and suggest one can discern any changes would be a surprising thing to me. All of these factors will influence the taste/flavour and the perception of those very qualities - humidity, temperature, any foods/drinks consumed, mood, ambiance, activity etc. I just don't feel I could judge the same cigar from the same box years apart and make any genuine comparison. And if I did, it would be more my imagination. Now all the above applies to me and I'm sure others like you all might be able to tell differences. I just enjoy the cigar, nothing more satisfying than opening the lid on my humidor, smelling a warm and moist cigar smell to give me a huge grin and hours of pleasure. But that's just me. Sorry for a long post.
  8. Was going to post the same. For anyone searching - second image middle cigar description. Oh, BTW, hi. I am new here. I want more info on the 50th anniversary stuff and how many organs I need to sell in order to snag one of the limited releases this year. This is what I could find from a quick search about the Añejados (hopefully the link doesn't break some rules but if it does accept my apology now and please delete it) http://www.cigaraficionado.com/webfeatures/show/id/partagas-hoyo-de-monterrey-added-to-cuban-a%C3%B1ejados-cigar-program-18579
