CoCigarSmoker Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Just got some goodies to deposit into the humidor. my sampling days are over just about. Maybe 10-15 more sticks to try after these and then I'm onto box purchases. Can't wait to destroy the space in my cabinet. The top drawer is slowly being overrun with CCs. It felt so good to bump some NCs to the bottom shelves to make room for these babies!Seth 2
Jay Hemingway Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Aaaaaah.....I remember those days! Such excitement and joy....
Phillys Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 This is a nice line up, great sampler you picked up there!
jfettlol Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 very nice sampler, indeed. quite the variety. 1
aushy Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 That looks like a great sampler you have there!
stogieluver Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Great sampler. Looks to me like you're going to be buying 15 boxes of cigars. You're gonna need a bigger boat. Congratulations on that haul. 1
cigcars Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Wow, am I a kid looking in a candy store window!
avaldes Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 NOTHING is more exciting than opening the mailbox to find cigar packages! 1
CoCigarSmoker Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks guys. Only thing better is lighting them up. Can't wait for their rest period to be up.
leftimatic Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Good luck and enjoy. There are a few there I and a few of the other new guys have yet to enjoy you will have to let us know what you think.
CoCigarSmoker Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 I will do reviews on all the cigars as I smoke them!! If there are ones you are more curious about I can bump them to the front. Seth
JohnS Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Hey Seth, The Cohiba or Romeo y Julieta tubos would be interesting to review at some stage. I had a look tonight on CubanCigarWebsite and they state the following: Tubes help to preserve cigars from physical damage and short-term drying out. Habanos recommends removing them from their tubes if storing in a humidor although MRN (Min Ron Nee, the author of An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Post-Revolution Havana Cigars, which retails used on Amazon for $US500) advocates leaving cigars in their tubes for improved (but slower) aging. Perhaps you can take one out of the tube and leave the other in your humidor and tell us the difference down the track. Personally, I have had some tubos benefit from resting a few months after taking them out of the tubes and leaving them in the humidor.
LordAnubis Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Perhaps you can take one out of the tube and leave the other in your humidor and tell us the difference down the track. Personally, I have had some tubos benefit from resting a few months after taking them out of the tubes and leaving them in the humidor. I've tried this myself on a box of Upmann Coronas Major. Left ten in tube and the rest took them out of the tube. ROTT they were strong and just harsh, with strong flavours I couldn't separate. 6 months later the untubed ones had settled very well and grew into the typical upmann flavour with an added bit of spicyness, while the tubes were still rough and harsh. Have 5 more left in tubes and about 10 left untubed to revist in a few years. 1

Yeah, I had a similar experience, especially in terms of harshness ROTT and then the flavour settling down later after untubing.
CoCigarSmoker Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Ok guys I'm willinging to bite. Would you like to do one siglo in tube and one siglo out of tube? How long do you want them rested? Any other requests for order of cigars smoked? Written reviews will follow all cigars smoked. Seth
JohnS Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 My experience was 2 to 3 months, but I was eager to smoke my Punch tubos. You can't go wrong with Mus' example of six months of settling in my opinion. Since you ask for any other requests....I notice that you have a Partagas culebras untied in your humidor. I had this cigar for the first time at our CubanCigarWebsite Sydney FoH gathering on the weekend. I must say I was BLOWN AWAY by how good this cigar was. I'd be interested in reading your review on this one too Seth.
CoCigarSmoker Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 That partagas has been in the humidor for about a year. I will push that to the front of the line. I will try and shoot for six months on the siglo VI Tubo vs. non-tubo. Took it out this morning. Cheers and keep up the requests. Seth 1
CoCigarSmoker Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 It's still growing!!!!! Had to officially bump all the NC's to the bottom of the end table...can't explain what a great feeling that was haha. New top drawer: Seth 1
JohnS Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Looking really good, Seth! Soon those BBF's will joining in with the others! 1
