El Presidente Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hard to believe.....but we are at the halfway point of 2020 ........and hasn't it just been a "special" year to date For many of us, cigars have provided much needed mental relief through the past 4-6 months. I see it as a special form of "meditation/therapy" and it doesn't matter whether you enjoy it by yourself or with some mates over zoom. Generally, most of us have had the chance to try more cigars than we probably would have under normal circumstances. What are your First Half 2020 Power Rankings? Specifically, the cigars that have gone up in your estimation.....and the cigars that have gone down in your estimation. Think as to how your smoking habits have changed since christmas. What were you smoking then....and what you are smoking now. Ideally List 3 .....but 1-2 is fine as well. Don't stress First half 2020 Power Rankings. On the Way Up In Your Estimation ? 1. 2. 3.

garbandz Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Rob, it is really shocking to see the Quai 50 and Dip #2 failing. I smoke the Dips often,and the Quai 50 has been touted so strongly. smoking these too soon ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Çnote Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I'm not hitting enough repeats in CC to have an opinion on what is going up and down in quality. I have noticed that I am smoking bigger cigars more often when I do smoke. Longer at least, alot more time to sip skinnies. Also, my frequency this past month is way down, but it's either been hot and humid, or pouring rain, and I've noticed that I get alot more burn issues, so I wait for better weather. The local lounges have reopened, but the mood there no longer suits me as the conversation is often dire or too lubricated, so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foursite12 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Anyone who put Parti Shorts in their "way down" group care to elaborate? I've always experienced remarkably consistent performance across multiple years but haven't had anything newer than '16. Need to replenish. What's up? Only certain years/codes? thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeg Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Seems to be a pretty strong consensus that RASS are down this year. Is that mostly a reflection of how good they were in 2019? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
