Non-Smoker from Sunny London

[Tomm783]

I love this- just taken delivery of a first stash and almost smoked it all in less than a week.

Definitely need another order my man!

I think the HUHC is a bit more forgiving than the Demi Tasse, being a bigger RG makes it easier to keep cool. I also think the HUHC is a better choice if smoking young, the Demi Tasse can have rough edges in my experience. They do however age beautifully, if you could ever try one with 10+ years you will be hugely rewarded. I have 3 boxes of Demi Tasse I think, I’m hoping some last far into the future, my boxes of HUHC likely won’t last that long.

Bearing in mind I enjoyed the HUHC, what one or two other cigars would you recommend? I have a small list I'm hoping to try so they can be added.

So next order in already?

Not just yet... Sometime this week for sure

I'd recommend buying two or 3 of each... Then you can see how much a month or 2 makes on some cigars...or a 6 months to a year.

Cigar number 2 - H. Upmann Half Corona

This seemed a lot more mellow and not as harsh as the El Rey del Mundo Demi Tasse.... I enjoyed it very much! I'm wondering whether the El Rey del Mundo was harsh since it was my first cigar in a long time?

I had a drink (cola) and a snack (roasted almonds), which I think also has a positive effect on the experience.

The last of the of the dream team - The Montecristo No.4. I'll save this for later this week or the weekend

Chapter 1 of my cigar story is slowly coming to a close....

Or leave in the freezer for several months Simon. 

Something tells me some folks are never gonna forget that slight slip of memory!

Agreed. Temp used to be a worry that beetles/ Cigar Weevils would hatch, if you freeze everything when you receive it, that eliminates the threats; just don't store in direct sunlight.

Yes... I have to agree! I also didn't have anything to drink (alcohol or non-alcohol). I feel it would be much more enjoyable with a drink and maybe even snacks! This gives me an interesting idea for a new thread! [emoji848][emoji6]

A drink serves two purposes. It stops your mouth from drying out and the sugar content counteracts the effect of nicotine.

Nice. Bit rainy today though isn't it. A sunny day makes all the difference!

While we wait for the mysterious Henrik to appear with some outrageous shots of his collection, here's a little update on chapter one of my cigar journey.

I got outside for a quick cigar, it was a pleasant experience. One stick down, two to go!

[SHAMZ84]

I am very much looking forward to the mystery man making an appearance..... Sounds like he has quite the collection.

He basically got stock than some shops

[Good Stick]

Some serious cigar porn! Those collections are amazing!
