Popular Post ChangBang Posted November 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2020 Last entry into the weekly drawing, we have the Vegas Robaina Unico. I got a 1/4 box from 24:24 and they've been resting since 10/6. Aroma is pleasant with a nice tobacco smell. Smell isnt as strong as the BRC I had, but still smells tasty! Cut the tip a few times trying to get a good draw, ended up pretty much cutting it like a standard cigar - which has usually been my experience with these pointed tips. Still ended with a tight draw. Saw something about sticking it in the fridge, so went into the fridge for 30mins without any real change in my opinion. I'll have to experiment with dry boxing for maybe a day or so in the future. Lit it and got greeted with a woodiness with a light spice to it. The smoke was mild and soft. About half way down it did change into a tobacco leather flavor. Then a light spice with an overwhelming about of leather. It finished on a grassy wet note, which leads me to believe it's still a bit too humid and I need to knock down the humidity in my future cigars. With the humidity here hovering around 30%, how long do you all recommend I take it out for? I did about 5hrs on the counter and 30min in the fridge before I smoked this. I'll give this a 4.5/10. Slightly below average. Not sure if some age will help or what, but I have 5 left and hope the next ones perform better. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominattorney Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I ordered a box from the same 2424 and I haven't gotten mine yet. I hope mine land soon. Sorry to hear this one didn't perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I'm not a big Unicos smoker, and everything I seem to hear about them seems so different than the Famosos, which never seem to be off their game and could never be described as "mild and soft". Two very different cigars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could very well be the humidity. I don't know if I've ever had a tight/plugged piramides cigar (though my experience is with Monte 2 and PSP2). If it's humidity and specifically the filler then in my experience dry boxing won't fix it, as it dries the wrapper first, by the time the cigar is uniformly dry it'll be too dry. At 30% humidity you'll probably ruin the wrapper before the filler is dry. As with all things cigar, I'm sure other people may have different experience. If it was the wrapper too humid and not the filler, and the wrapper didn't stay lit due to the humidity but the cigar burned ok otherwise, then a day or a fraction of a day of dry boxing should be enough. Fridge might work better but I don't have experience with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to dig back and remember what people said with fridge/freezer cigars. Maybe I just need to suck it up and buy a lower boveda pack for a smoke-now humidor. 7 hours ago, Kaptain Karl said: Damn!
