Can I just say bubba .... it doesn't matter whatever the age, the quality or selection .... if you smoke outside in Winter in humidity on a falling temperature then the chance of getting a sound smoke is massively reduced. I've done and seen cigars slowly bulge and swell till they eventually burst .... the warning sign is the draw going from free flowing to becoming tighter, the cigar isn't plugged, it's choking on heated moisture behind the burn and there is nothing you can do about it.



Tip. Buy an outside hygrometer and if the moisture in the air is above 75% don't even contemplate smoking as it could end in a waste of money.

Good advice there mate, I reckon that's what happened to a Trinidad I had a week ago. Was really looking forward to it, but it just didn't do anything for me, just couldn't get much smoke out of it. This was smoked outside.

Damn, what a waste. Sorry to hear that.

Yeah I mean it wasn't a complete waste but I don't think it was anywhere near as enjoyable as it should have been.
As Bubba said.....roll on spring! and roll on next Sunday mate...looking forward to that. Having one today?

Sadly working till five again, home about six. Lovely wife doesn't like me deserting her for an hour when I get home even if she is watching Strictly/Factor/Celebrity crap. I probably wont indulge again till Wednesday.

Haha....I'm on the same page as you mate, My Mrs has just gone out with the little one for a few hours....might have a cheeky Chinchalero.

Haha...Not the most exciting photo.
I'll take a few when my order comes in. Wish I'd had the delivery address at work so I would know exactly when they come in.
Not that I'm obsessed with these brown sticks or anything Ha!
