This is what works for me. I age my cigars at 65/65 but smoke cigars at 65%/70f. I always had problems with smoking cigars right out of the 65/65 and 65/70 is my sweet spot for smoking cigars. After reading numerous posts watching videos posted by @PigFish, I believe I have an understanding. A cigar at 65/65 is wetter cigar than cigar that's at 65/70 although it is the same RH. The moisture content increases as the temperature decrease and as the temperature increases the moisture content decreases. Essentially if you left a cigar outside in 100% humidity and 100f the cigar would still dry out eventually. I hope this helps and I hope that I have the correct understanding. If I do not, I would love to hear an explanation.

The restaurant we went to for lunch had really good food. I can’t tell you now what the name was but it away from the old Havana closer to where Habana Club is. We had tacos, enchiladas, grilled meat platter. Overall excellent food. As for getting around we got a cab from Varadero to Havana and had driver in Havana to take us around for the day.

We will still go with the family to an all-inclusive in Varadero and I'll do a day trip to Havana to do some quick shopping. This is what I did in April. But to actually go to Havana and stay there for a few night to enjoy the city as I did in the past is not going to happen in the foreseeable future. It's just not worth it anymore. Apart from the cigar prices, everything else has gotten too expensive. When we would go a few years ago with the wife, we were able to eat and get drunk at a casual restaurant for $70USD and go for a fancy dinner for $100USD, I don't think this is possible these days.

I was in Havana in April of this year. I visited probably 8 shops, if I remember correctly. The stock was there, just not the selection. Plenty of Cohibas and Trinidads as mentioned by others. Partagas P2, D4, E2, H Upman: 46, 50, 54, Connie A, Montecristo 1,2,3,4,5 Edmundo and Petit Edmundo, Especiales (some) and Especiales 2. Quai D'Orsay, Por Laranaga, RASS, Hoyos Epi 1, 2, Especial, Rio Seco. Bolivar BBF, PC. Punch Punch. Apart from that lower end stock. There was very little people shopping, empty stores for the most part. Funny how I can remember what I saw at LCDH in Havana 4 months ago, but I can barely remember what happened yesterday.

Which hotels in Varadero have the decent selection. I mostly shopped at the LCDH at plaza in the past and that did not have great selection when I was there in April.

Never know. Although the tobacco use, particularly cigarettes, is on decline, I'm seeing younger people starting to get into cigars. I have a few cousins in their late 20s that are getting into the hobby. I had to give a crash course the other day.

I definitely considered that he will not be interested. If he is not, I'm just going to smoke them myself. Of course life might happen and I might not be alive then, but I don't believe that's the right outlook to have on life. We could have a full blown nuclear war next week and pretty much the whole humanity will be gone in 2 years. That doesn't mean we need to stop making plans for life. Its not a big financial strain and if nothing comes of it, it is not a big deal.

I'm not planning for this to be a gift. I'm planning to offer and if he has interest that awesome, if not I'm not going to cry about it and just smoke them. I had my first cigar at 15, with my uncle. I was very interested after that.

I searched through the forums quite a bit and found numerous discussions regarding this topic. Everyone has their opinion and what they like with x amount of years of aging. I'm looking to put down 4 boxes of current, regular production cigars and what is generally available for 19 years +. Why 19 years? My son was born in November of 2021 and I would like to put down boxes from his birth month (if I can source them) that hopefully we can smoke together when he becomes of legal smoking age (maybe a little earlier than that). Which cigars, in your opinion, have enough fuel to age for this long. Based on what I have been reading, my short list so far is: BBF Magnum 46 Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 2 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm heading down in a month. Will I still be able to use CUC at LCDH? Should I still be bringing Canadian dollars as usual and exchanging on the island to CUC?

I freeze everything, no matter what the source is. It’s just for my own peace of mind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anything acidic does the trick. Acid reverses the effects of alcohol. Ever notice how coffee or coke makes you feel better, both are acidic. Try kosher pickle juice right from the jar. It will put you on your feet. Stay away from water as it does make you feel worst on a hangover, specially on the really bad days. Then there is the other solution....more drinks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is my process: 1. Insert cigars (with the box) into a freezer bag, Suck out as much air as possible with a drinking straw. 2. Insert the above into another freezer bag and suck out as much air as possible with a drinking straw. 3. 1 day in the fridge. 4. 4 days in the freezer 5. 1 day in the fridge 6. 1 day in the bags at room temperature 7. Let them rest for 60 days.

I freeze everything, no matter where it comes from.

I meant my fiancé online and now we are getting married. I tried free ones(tinder,bumble, plenty of fish), waste of time. Paid site (match.com) worked out pretty good for me, I was going on dates every week. Didn’t really end up spending that much money as most of the dates I went on initiated 50/50 split on the bill and that’s perfectly fine with me. You are essentially meeting a person for the first time and there is a pretty good chance you might not hit it off . On my profile I was up front about smoking cigars, and just honest about everything in general. I’m not 18 where I need to impress someone, it is what it is accept me or not. I think my key to success was cutting the online chatting to the minimum. Few exchanges of messages and lets go on a date, always suggesting meeting in a public place. A lot of women like that, apparently there is a lot of guys out there that just on on for weeks on months chatting online before actually making a move to go on a date. That can be bad for two reasons, one you can potentially be wasting time as anyone can seem different behind the keyboard than in real life and two you end up talking about everything online and then by the first date you have used up a lot of good conversations. One date per week, if it’s not good start setting up for the next week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
