I just bought 3 cigars to smoke with a good rum.
>first time smoking
>look at instructions on wiki
>light my first one, best feel ever
>few hours later, i smoke thé second one
>too compact, i cant smoke it, try to compress it like i did with joints back in thé days i was a stoner
>just broke in two parts
Third one same fucking thing (i didnt compress that one, but i smoke paper for one hour)
So, what do to keep a cigars perfect, so it wont fall appart?
Well, auto bump
I'm about to smoke the third one really soon.
I need helps fast, it's the most expensive ive got
>>675882661
Why the fuck did you ruin it with ice? Be a man and drink it straight.
>>675884096
>straight
>OP
lol
Get drunk first then smoke the cigar until you feel really dizzy
>>675884096
It seriously was only for the pic, the three other classes was without ice
Get a real cigar
>>675884966
You are forgiven. Carry on.
>>675882661
stick a toothpick in both ends to help the draw a bit. if you leave them out they will get dry and crumble.
>>675884783
Yeah, that part was done beetween thé second and third one.
Still that ill have paper cigars in m'y mouth. I don't want to. What can ido to avoid paper to fall apart?
I work in a cigar shop, don't try to roll out a blockage, use a paperclip bent straight to try and punch through it, go through either the foot or the cap depending where the blockage is closest
>>675882661
It's probably not too compressed but rather that the hole or cut you made in the drawing end was not large enough to let sufficient air through. A lot of cigars feel really dense and compact until you start smoking them and they soften up. Trust the stoge. Also sometimes a punch is necessary, which is a tool that takes a cylinder out of the cigar on the drawing end -- but unless it's a really tight cigar, a guillotine or sharp knife/scissors is enough.
Cheers
Cubans have shit quality control. They're usually plugged at the mouth end though. You can try loosening it a bit by rolling between thumbs or cutting a little off, maybe inserting a tooth pick.
>>675885498
>>675885648
The tooth pick trick is real?? Where do i put it in the cigar?
>>675885632
So i just cut it not too near from the edge?
I just got these. They any good?
>>675886892
Yeah. Wet the drawing end with your mouth or a bit of water, not too much obviously, then cut a small portion of the back off -- leave some of the rounded portion, if that makes sense. I wouldn't advise this without some really sharp scissors or an ultra sharp knife though. Of course, cigar scissors or a guillotine specialized for the job is ideal. The toothpick trick will work too. Just poke it in to the drawing end a few times, you can even widen the hole as necessary. Just be careful not to split the cigar or the wrapper.
>>675887585
Cohiba is a nice one to start with. The dark cigars are "maduro" cigars. They're a bit more complex and richer in flavor because the wrapper is fermented. I'd save those for after you've got a couple natural wrapped cigars under your belt. You'll really be able to tell the difference that way.
>>675888203
Good advice anon. I figured the Cohiba was the best one and was saving it for last.
>>675888689
No problem. Monte Cristo and Romeo & Juliet are two of my favorites. Enjoy.
>>675889134
Op here, thé third one was a romeo and juliette
There is some tricks here to avoid thé compact thing, but how do i avoid the fact that thé paper fall appart on m'y lips?
Picked up one of these today. Saving it for tomorrow night,
>>675890443
you are cutting the draw end right?
>>675890443
You may have stale ones. In that case nothing can be done
>>675890622
Very nice. Partagas is also a personal favorite. I had a maduro Partagas about a month ago, box-pressed. Such a peppery and smooth smoke.
>>675889848
Good pick up to try as one of your first cigars.
But
isn't smoking a Cigar as bad as a cigarette and will get you addicted too??
>>675891319
I haven't tried a Partagas yet im looking forward to it.
I had a Punch earlier today. Im not to sure how I feel about it yet. I have another I might smoke tomorrow too.
>>675891785
get out
>>675892486
I haven't gotten around to trying Punch yet but I know they're popular. It was one of those cigars I never wanted to try because everyone told me how good they were. Maybe I'll try one tomorrow lol
>>675893714
funny thats how I feel about acid cigars, everyone tells me they're great so I haven't bought any lol
>>675894499
Dude are you me? Haha I just tried Acid for the first time last summer for the same reason. I got a pack of C-notes. Too damned expensive for the quality, and they tasted way too sweet and floral for my liking. I don't see the appeal.
>>675895059
Im not a fan of really sweet stuff,
I had alta gracia irish creme cigarillos, those I liked, burned alittle hot half way through but nice quick smokes with a creme flavor up front then a nice smooth transition to a mild tobacco. anything sweeter than that im out.
>ITT: faggots wear fedoras while trying to be classy but actually severely autistic edgelords
>>675882661
Keep buying new ones.
>>675896296
I just recently got a hold of some Mehari's sweet orient cigarillos, I like those alot better. Nice medium flavor doesn't get too hot, just a hint of sweetness. with a little spice toward the end
>>675896461
Op here. Normal looking Guy, no fedora
My girl got a new job in a cigar shop, so while i brought her a coffe i bug four cigars. Dont be a faggot shitposter newfag edgelord
Get a vape
>>675896296
Nice. I'll have to look out for those. I especially don't mind a hint of sweetness in a cigarillo because it's a quick smoke. Pleasant after a meal definitely.
>>675882661
Holy fuck, I can smell the fedora and the friendzone from here.

where am I
>>675887585
the Mark Twain and the Media Noche are good cigars. I usually keep a box of the Mark Twain on hand because it's a surprisingly good cigar for its price. The Cohiba and Romeo y Julieta are really good too. I was unimpressed with the Gurkkha Centurian, mostly because I don't like the double perfecto figurado, i think they burn like shit.
>>675888203
all tobacco for cigars is fermented, not just maduro wrapper leafs. after sorting and drying they put the tobacco in huge piles where the weight creates pressure and heat that naturally ferments it. this releases the majority of the nasty tasting compounds in the tobacco. this is also why older tobacco (as well as maduro) are typically more mellow. it's a myth that maduro = bold, big body. the perfect example of this is the Mark Twain Memoir. It's got a maduro wrapper, but it's a mild and mellow cigar.
>>675884096
>telling people how to drink
>>675900117
Natural wrappers are not fermented, but rather cured. Maduro wrappers are fermented, meaning bacteria convert plant carbohydrates into new compounds which give the leaf a unique flavor. All Maduro cigars might not be bold and robust, but you can't deny that the flavor of a Maduro wrapper is much more complex compared to a natural one. Of course, the true boldness of a cigar comes from what's inside, not what it's wrapped with.
>>675900117
>>675901473
Eh I take it back. Yeah natural wrappers are fermented too. The process is different between Maduro and natural wrappers though. Had to look it up.
>>675901905
lol i was just in the process of getting a bunch of sources together showing that it's all fermented.
>>675887585
Total shit tobaky bro. Try a pipe and ditch the faggy cigars
>>675890622
Shit tier
>>675901905
>>675901473
on another note, it's often debated just how much of the flavor comes from the wrapper. flavor aside, the wrapper is obviously the most expensive part of the cigar for other reasons (not the least of which is: it needs to be pretty).
most people don't think about it, but really it's common sense: the bigger the ring gauge, you're smoking more filler and less wrapper. they say that a good cigar will have it's blend adjusted to compensate for the figurado... but in my opinion it's not a wash.
one of my favorite cigars is the Oliva Serie V. the first time I smoked one of those as a lancero rather than a robusto or torpedo, it was a totally different experience. because the lancero is so skinny, you're getting a much bigger ratio of wrapper.
btw, if you've never had an Oliva Serie V lancero, i highly recommend it. it's like smoking chocolate coffee. fantastic.

i sometimes enjoy smoking a pipe, but the honest truth is that pipe and cigarette tobacco is trash compared to the tobacco meant for cigars. it's farmed differently, it's handled differently, the final product is consumed differently.
pipe tobacco and cigarette tobacco are mass produced garbage. cigar tobacco is grown and processed with near religious care. everything about producing a cigar is nigh-ritualistic.
>>675903755
That's 12% true
Don't you fags know that the bigger the ring gauge, you're smoking more filler and less wrapper. they say that a good cigar will have it's blend adjusted to compensate for the figurado... truth
>>675905266
I must assume that you took a break from being penetrated by your dad and his pals to point something out but I'm not sure why
Opinions of undercrown? I'm mostly a pipe guy and went a little overboard with the briar collection. Cigars are easier when you are out and about.
>>675905618
>trying this hard
i know it's the weekend, but isn't it past your bed time? hurry along now son, mommy will be angry if she finds out you're still up.
>>675906044
i haven't had the chance to try one yet, but i've only heard good things about them.
>>675906286
Choke on a dick lady
>>675903755
Maybe if you're referring to drug store pipe tobacco. Pipe tobacco is upper leaves of the plants. Cigs are always the bottom of the plants.
>>675906436
This guy is wise
>>675906583
I went a little overboard when I started smoking. I wanted to grow my own and did a lot of research. Was intrigued with flue cured, fermented perique, aged kakes ect.
Turns out the growers sell the shit tier leaves to the cigarette company's. The higher quality goes to cigars and pipe tobacco makers.
Out of all my research I decided not to even bother growing. haha
>>675906436
>>675907400
cigars use only the upper two-thirds of the plant. any leaves that touch the ground aren't used. additionally, the leaves are harvested one row at a time, and it can take a couple of weeks to harvest the whole plant. this causes the leaves to progressively accumulate more oils and sugars. the top third is called "ligero" and the top of the top is called "corona".
this is a major departure from how pipe tobacco is harvested: they chop the whole stalk and discard the "ground leaves". there is no progressive harvest that allows the plant to continue to mature. they're just not equal.
Now you make me want to try more cigars
