Zoom Video Review - Montecristo No.3 - ASU JUN 19
Naug replied to MoeFOH's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
We've been doing Zoom happy hour. Turning off the background really helps. Monte 3's are really great these days. -
What's this weekend look like for you
Naug replied to El Presidente's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
My wife and kids haven't left our neighborhood/home sine the ninth, I've done a few trips for food and liquor. My wife has been asked to help coordinate Nike with local medical providers to see if they can produce masks and whole face protectors with the Flyknit machines. As there are also a lot of people at Nike with sewing expertise they are asking those people to sew masks as well. This weekend will be hanging around our house and property with our three young children - perhaps an afternoon cigar in the shed! Stay home and stay safe people. -
My stay in Taiwan is coming to an end. We'll leave Taichung on 2/26 do a 7 week holiday, return on 4/17. leaving for the states on 4/22. Average humidity is around 67% temp is around 74f/23c. I've about 16 full boxes I'll be storing, the big question is would you wrap each box in cling film or just secure them shut and throw a bunch of boved 65's in the carry on luggage/storage container? Cheer and thanks!

Found this on one of my Taiwan FB cigar boards. Aircraft aluminum 1.5" T, 2" W and 6" L comes in black, gold, red and blue. Bummer the purple one is no longer available. They are selling here for about $100 usd shipped, which seems high to me. Anyone seen anything like them? TIA Toby

I would want samplers based on cigar characteristic/flavor profile. Mild, Medium Strong, with sub groups spicy, creamy, salted driftwood (Really Rob, love the SP Beli, but salted driftwood - love it), stone fruite ertc... I for one have a hard time distinguishing any of these notes - well not strength and spice.

Why are most non-CC cigars terrible?
Naug replied to RyviaUSA's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
I have smoked thousands of cigars over the last 22 years, until reticently predominately NC. There are a lot of great NC, the consistency, density and quality of build I believe exceeds all be the best PSP and maybe these as well. I am not referring to whatever overdone thing Fuente is doing with Opus or any other manufacturer who nearly covers the cigar with garish bands. Nah, the average 8 - 12 stick. They will be consistent in flavor through the entire box and for most part have no need of aging. While with CC, in a PSP box maybe 3 - 5 duds and it gets worse from there (Rob's observati -
Weight loss happens in the kitchen with a healthy diet. The gym is for conditioning and adding strength. at 54 I'm 6' 2 172 lbs at 18% body fat - this is solely based on diet. Due to a variety of reasons, the primary being expat in Taiwan (more sedentary lifestyle than my home in the states) I've started a gym routine 4 to 5 days a week for strength training. Before gym I drink a protein powder/shake from Costco, after I make a smoothie of mixed frozen berries, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, protein powder and water in the vitamix - all processed sugar/syrup free - the two give me abo

Your next box is likely to be?
Naug replied to El Presidente's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Montecristo Especial and Trinidad Fundadores would be a happy thing... Been wanting a box RyJ Cazadores for about 18 years, might grab the next 24:24 for these.
