Cardboard Boxes Ruined Cigar... Salvageable?
Li Bai replied to Uwiik's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
I've also learned it the hard way 😅 When it comes to storage i take cigars out the cardboard right away... Can they get rid of that smell and be enjoyable in the future ? Time will tell... -
Cardboard Boxes Ruined Cigar... Salvageable?

Well, you're not smoking those cigars, are you? 😄 - Today

i'd guess that just like cigars, more than a degree of the subjective. all manner of things for me. certainly complexity. balance is key, length, intensity. the varietal is a difficult question because if it is a blind tasting then we do not know what it should be aiming for or what it should represent as a varietal. the ability to age is usually considered relevant. flavour is key. people often talk about the 'wow' factor. some wines have it. just something about them. but of course, what is wow for me might not be wow for you.

I have a 2020 Escogidos and 2015 Connie A that came in Singapore's government mandated cardboard boxes and these are definitely ruined after many years inside some stupid smelling cardboard boxes...I can definitely taste the cardboard contamination and the stick tasted very weak. Are my sticks still salvageable? Right now these sticks are resting inside my Elie Bleu cedar humidor hoping that the cedar can help the sticks rid of the cardboard smell....I don't get the logic behind government mandated cardboard boxes, it's not like it is going to deter anyone from smoking cigar and it only serve to add more rubbish on earth, seems like the people behind this policy are kindergarten graduates...

Its a tough job, but some one's got to do it. I doubt I'll ever even get to touch wine's like these, but what makes a wine a 100? Complexity? Smoothness? The flavors you would expect for a varietal of wine? -
What are you listening to?

Got tix for their first show in a long while. Might be the last. Here for the 'Drag, especially at a great spot like SubT. If it is the last one, here's to that Knoxville sound one more time. -
The Reds went from being on pace for 162-0 to not on pace for 162-0 very quickly. 😩

True, but the problem persists. They have to get more people into OAK. If hands have to be held to do it then so be it. Although I don't know why the market isn't solving this issue. If SFO is clogged it should be more expensive to fly in there than OAK. Also the airlines should be reducing flights to SFO and increasing to OAK.

This is why I always eat double meat. I'm canceling out whatever one vegan is trying to accomplish.
