Purifier placement

I didn't tell them nothing. My "lounge" is "hidden" as it's on my terasse. Since they are on the bottom floor they don't even have a similar room at a similar place to the contrary of my upstairs neighbors who do. In short they had no idea I was smoking and they first thought it was the ground floor people. However they smoke pots and according to my neighbors they smell strong tobacco. When they told me they asked me first if I m a smoker (I only smoke cigars). They afterwards told me they never smelled anything prior to the renovation, hence the late complain. -

Your 2 cents is worth ............ -
I smoke one or sometimes two a day, so mainly enjoy PCs since I have some 45 minutes each time. But I know I have a preference for the slim super long ones, what vitolas are those? Ninfas, esplendidos, montecarlos etc. I realize also because my stock is pretty new 22-23s that the longer ones give me a better flavour after a 30 day resting, but the Robustos seem to be wasted on me so new, with the last third tasting like crap.

Pretty much the same here. On my 90 pt scale, 10 pts go to construction, overall “performance,” etc. Then, “roughly” 30 pts for each third, sometimes re-weighted if one act is just mesmerizing and another is blah. It balances out. This smoke was not in my usual wheelhouse at all, but I gave favorable points because it was a very pleasant surprise. Bitterness really only occurred at the nub, past where I usually stop anyway. The fact that I wanted to go that far down is, for me, a plus in itself. If I had stopped where I normally do, would’ve been more well-received. I did add some “extra credit” because I honestly loved what was going on for most of the stick. Not an everyday smoke for me, not subtle or “coy” at all, and not altogether refined but good change of pace. With that in account, I reviewed a little more favorably.

He wasn't asking me. I was just putting in my 2 cents. 😂 -
What's your hangover cure?

Half a glass of tomato juice, can of light & low abv beer, few squirts of tobasaco. Clamato also works but has about half the potassium of pure tomato. -

Beautiful spring weather for an after lunch cigar, my first RASS, April 2023 UAR from a quarter box from our host with the most. Very tasty and well constructed. -

Spicy Caesar. I've had a few rough mornings where it was the magical cure. -

Oh believe me. I have been waist high in the rotting cadavers of Saturday night fare of which you talk. My comment was just to admire the uniformity of the mess. Like so much barbed wire and mud. -

@Capn_Jackson If you're going to smoke something, you may as well smoke something. I'm kinda distracted but this is happening. I nip off the pigtail with fingernails. This starts with hay and honey and intensity on the tongue and lips. It's flavor all way to 11. After a couple inches, the honey thickens to agave syrup, then golden treacle. The hay keeps a beat. Graham crackers become involved about halfway. It's pure twang. The smoke is thick syrup. I don't like lanceros. They're fidgety to smoke, NC ones are often blended for power up front, I inevitably get ash everywhere. This is different. The construction is spot on, the draw immaculate, and it's just smooth and dreamy. Getting to the band, I pick up toasted marshmallow and the twang becomes distinctly orange citrus. The golden treacle becomes condensed milk and the Graham crackers fade into baking spice. The nub brings in coffee that slowly builds into a bitterness that let's me know I done. Great cigar. 👍 let's hope the rest of my day can be as good!
