This morning on the way to work I smoked an Olivera Il Padrino Edicion Italiano "Bugsy". It was lovely. The wrapper was so dark and oily it left some dark residue on my fingers.
I was only 2/3 through it when I got to work. I was puffing pretty aggressively, but it was still a good slow smoke. I clipped it off and left it in the car. Hopefully the last third will still be smokeable on the way home. I've never tried that before. Anyone else here ever clip one off and continue it several hours later?

Just finished a RP Vintage 1990. This was one of the best, if not the best cigars I've had to date. I know im not as seasoned as some of you guys but this was definatly a great cigar. As to the question about cliping a cigar. I have done this many times with little to no problems. Sometimes the wrapper will start to unroll a little bit, but will be fine within a minute or two. I find that just letting the cigar go out and relighting to create a foul taste, cutting it gets rid of that taste almost completly.
Agreed. Clipping and then re-lighting later on is not that big of a problem. Usually the taste isn't bitter except for maybe initially when first lighting it again. It's a great way to not waste your sticks!Quote:

Sounds like a "fauxduro" wrapper to me. :smiley40:Quote:

I think dying use to be big back in the boom. I know El Mejor Expresso cigars are dyed maduro.
Found this on JR's:

The other alternative method is dying the leaves the desired dark brown color. This is done in a variety of ways - from sluices, vats, to even a machine that is snidely referred to as the "Madu-O-Matic" by those in the trade. This machine can "create" Maduro wrappers at a blazing pace and, typically, makers will add sugar to the molasses-like dye to sweeten the flavor of the leaf. This process is considered "cheating" by many in the industry, and is held in low regard by many traditional tobacco men. As a consumer, it is easy to detect whether your Maduro cigar is a faux, because most dyed Maduro cigars will actually leave a slight brown stain right on lip of the smoker.
