Fugu Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Actually - what does it tell us? As a side note - sheen / oiliness in roasted coffee is a bad sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomaszgeorge Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 This box of Serie E No.2 for FOH has been the oiliest I have ever seen in the flesh. No camera flash needed and I can almost see my reflection in the wrapper! They taste amazing too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I see a few smart asses have already googled the same picture of Charlie Sheen that I did. It's always good to see that you are amongst intellectual brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PigFish Posted July 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2016 Sheen or no sheen, that is the question! I just happen to like the mottled look of this cigar. Partagas Seleccion Privada #1 (natural lighting). Cheers! -Piggy 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LGC Posted July 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2016 Actually - what does it tell us? As a side note - sheen / oiliness in roasted coffee is a bad sign. It tells us nothing, like all the plume (most often mold) that people get jacked up over. People are encouraged to associate a dark, oily wrapper with a superior product. A darker, smoother wrapper is likely to have a shinier appearance. Every time I see a super oily, black-as-night wrapper... I think of a fire retardant EL wrapper... as well as CHARBUCKS beans that taste like charcoal. The dullest looking cigars I have are some 70's and 80's RyJ... Coronas en cello, Churchill Tubos, Celestiales Finos en cello, etc. None of them are lacking anything. And yes... flash used in a dim room will produce a shiny appearance on any cigar pic. This is the best sheen I've seen in a while. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dara Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Here's a photo from 2013 when Charlie Sheen dropped into Rob Fox's shop in Dublin to pick up some sticks from the manager of the store David! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubatabaco Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 @Brandon hit the nail on the head in reference to the EL wrappers. You need a can of butane with you to finish some of them. Lol! And very spot on about some vintage wrappers. I have some 70's 898 UV's that are simply dull. Cameroon looking I guess you could say. I keep my sticks around 62-65 RH, so I tend not to see a lot of oily wrappers. There are some beautiful smokes in this thread though!!!! I guess sheen is the new plume/bloom/whatever you want to call it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the magic number as I'm a huge long and skinny fan. I suppose I'll have to snap a pic of my PSP 08 Monte #2's when I get home - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The echo I was calling for with my little provocation... The 'shiniest' wrappers that come to my mind were of a Quesada 'something' Maduro. Artificially smooth, polished, like wrapped in plastic. Literally repellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
