Nice taste but the draw is a bit loose. Would I be better with a punch/V cut

A friend very generously brought round some RyJ Cupidos for us to sample tonight.

You've got a good smoking circle up there!

Lovely looking ash.

I find a few NC can be "loose" but I wonder if smoking CC gets you used to sucking a golf ball through a garden hose...

The Partagas Black Series I have are like that. Takes almost 2 hours to get through one (not that they are CC)

Generous friend indeed. I was lucky enough to be gifted on too, I'll be keeping it for a few yrs. It's job in the meantime is to look glam in my humi!

I quite fancy the Cupidos but the price is nuts. Even in Spain, they're €1440 a box. Waaaay too much especially on the back of the recent-ish Serie d'Oro in similar boxes and with similar bands. The Cupidos doesn't look alll that different and at that price I'd want them to look spectacular.
I bet they smoked brilliantly though!

I'd not say no to trying a stick, but to me the RyJ blend is just not compelling enough to justify that extra luxury cost. I do enjoy a RyJ, but in the same way I enjoy Stella - I know what I'm getting and I'm not expecting anything more!

I tend to go for smallest punch I can get away with - failing that I use these cigar scissors to remove tiniest sliver of cap I can

Are they that good that they can nick away just a sliver? Interested to buy if so. Where did you get them from?

You literally can graze the cap with them once you realise the main cutting force comes from the straight edge. I think this was a branded Bond Roberts one. They are from Italy, Fox Cigar Cutters
