My Cigar Journey

[Tonto]

Have you thought about smoking the same cigar, but one using a punch & the other a cutter (like a Xikar)?
See if it has any effect on the smoking of the cigar? (maybe different flavors, how it burns, etc.)

Yes, I have atleast 2 of most of the cigars. I was going to come back to them and try a v cut. Not a fan of straight cut unless it's on a smaller ring gauge cigar. Do you think I should try the same cigar one or two days apart or come back to it later?

If you take notes on the first one & have the same drink etc then it probably wouldn’t matter.

Just noticed this morning that cigarpage has special deals on those Untitleds, & also Habana & Maduro versions

Bold and a strong cigar

Going to try it with a more lightly roasted coffee as is
was an over powering fight between the two.

Always like smoking a Nub now & then. Nice review.

Smoking in the car & doing a review can't be easy. I usually crack the driver's window & the back passenger window.
That gets the smoke completely out of the car, unless you smoked it while riding the bike. Lol
