You’re not digging the Peter Pan tobacco rocket look?

@Shrimpchips Glad to hear that it was great! That one I sent you in the PIF was RAT Nov 20. I haven’t smoked one yet, your assessment has encouraged me to put one on deck!

Congrats @Rhinoww!

I concur, and also I fantasize about saying this at work at least once a week. Honorable mention goes to “…what’s the matter smart ass, don’t know any Shakespeare?”

This films a great and wild ride all the way through. Mark Wahlberg cracks me up in this as well. 9/10

Wow, very excited and grateful! Thanks so much @MoeFOH and FoH!

Pure gold, as are most if not all Mel Brooks IMHO. For me Rick Moranis takes the cake as Dark Helmet. 9/10

“Stored 65/65 in an Aristocrat humidor, country of origin, Australia”. But in all seriousness if you have to pose the moral quandary to others, chances are you already know what the right thing to do would be.

6X46 Nicaraguan puro rolled in Honduras. Aroma at cold reminds me of a deep fruity chewing tobacco smell. Opens sourdough, sweetness, light spice, with occasional floral and honeysuckle notes. The cigar continues in this fashion through the first half. By the second half the profile changes to woody, dark coffee/espresso, and remains this way till the end. While the second half definitely experienced flavor die off, it certainly remained smokeable and enjoyable. The first half was stellar and had me thinking of Partagas and ERDM. I look forward to seeing how this box evolves with time. 88/100

Fuente Fuente Opus X Lancero - From what I recall 2019/2020 Opus 6 release. I decide to pick up this smoke, and continue with the bottle of Zacapa I cracked earlier this evening. Aroma and cold draw exhibit dark pronounced, deep tobacco, prunes and raisins. I twist off the pigtail to find an open draw. The pigtail reminds me of Pink Floyd, so I flip on the album Animals. The cigar opens mushroom/mustiness on the retro, wood, espresso and big dark sweetness on the draw. Voluminous smoke output, thick viscous mouth-coating, pieced occasionally by sharp dry tannic moments. The smoke continues through the first third earthy and sweet on the draw with notes of spiciness and fungal, shroominess on the retro. As it enters the second third the mustiness and the woody darkness begin to blend together more, and become less pronounced. Notes of black licorice slip in between the mustiness, and the cigar feels more balanced than previously. This cigar is strong and full bodied. I feel the nicotine creeping up on me even through the rum. Dark coffee, wood, nuttiness, tar, backdrop of mustiness and spice continue through the second third. Going into the final third the spice kicks up a notch and the fungal, umami mustiness is mostly blended into the background. Eventually the flavors begin to die off, and strangely this is the point where even though most muted, I find this cigar most acceptable. With a couple of inches left I let it die out. This cigar reminds me of something Hamlet said about blending lanceros on a video about the Nudies, that in a cigar of this format one leaf of ligero was enough to overpower the blend. Looking back on this experience while the specifics of that comment don’t necessarily apply, it strikes me that in my opinion this blend is way too much for this format. I am also reminded that for me, many of these Dominican cigars feel like a mashup of round flavors, as opposed to smoking a Cuban with sharper, more individually pronounced characteristics. It also doesn’t help that I smoked a Partagas 898 a few hours ago, so try as I may, it’s hard to judge this cigar without recalling that one. Perfect draw and construction. I’m sure some would love it, but it’s not for me. 7/10

Señores y señoras: Nosotros tenemos más influencia con sus hijos que tú tiene, pero los queremos Creado y regado de Los Angeles, Juana's Addicción!

Just smoked my first from MTS Oct 21 box today and it was excellent. Enjoy!

This definitely proves problematic for this format. If you stick it to teeth depth with the PerfecDraw it’s practically sticking out of the foot already. While I get it with these, I am ok with the fact that I only have a couple boxes. Where on the other hand I feel like I ONLY have four boxes of Petit Royales.

This cigar blows my mind with how consistently fantastic it is. Always love to see folks enjoying these so much.

I left work on a mission…liquor store to refill Zacapa…find a great smoke…head for the deck. Party 898 (MTS Oct 21), Zacapa and Janes Addiction bumping…just what the doctor ordered. 93/100 excellent!

Hot damn, $400! That’s a steal! Nice heads up for everyone!

It’s slated for the chopping block as my kids have mostly outgrown it, but yes I too have that same water table. Pic of one of our legacy water tables five or six years ago (my daughter who is seven now, and our miniature dachshund who passed a few years back). It always gives me a chuckle when I see it on my phone.

Rio Seco from the FoH 21 Christmas sampler. Not my typical ring gauge, but excellent flavor and construction on this one.

This is an awesome gift, kudos! Monte 2 was one of the first cigars that really grabbed my attention.

Congrats @Nevrknow!

It got up to humidity in less than 24 hours. So far so good, I am very happy with it. I jokingly told my wife I was going to start an order for a second one, she did not appreciate this concept one bit!

Man…I thought you guys were being a little harsh because I remembered liking this album when I was about 13 years old. i just put on a few songs…then I put on Master of Puppets…and yah not even a comparison…it doesn’t hold a candle to any of their earlier albums. I’ll give it 6/10 for nostalgia and because I like to play Nothing Else Matters on acoustic.

http://www.avallohumidors.com/Accumonitor.html On the configuration I chose there is a hygrometer wired to four bottles filled with distilled water, which have small fans atop the bottle. Additionally I went with four pairs of circulation fans attached to the rear of the cabinet. I didn’t go with a cooled unit because I wanted the glass doors. The top panel is set RH and actual RH, as well as temperature (passive). The bottom panel is a fan timer where you select how many minutes to run the circulation fans per hour.

The horror story was that the shipping company put the fork of a skid loader through a customers humidor. Fortunately for me, no shipping issues, other than the company delivering it four days prior to my scheduled delivery date. It came in perfect condition.

Gotta love the tears in the rain speech. The good version 9/10. Ridley Scott had issues with the studio on this one…he felt the original release was a travesty. Here’s an article ranking the different versions…https://screenrant.com/blade-runner-every-version-original-ranked/amp/
