    From what I have read here (via searches) 65% is better for smokability, and 70% is better for long term storage.

    65%. 70%. It's just personal preference. Many brothers here prefer smoking a cigars a little less moist, myself included. At 65% they tend to have less burn issues. But whatever you like better is what you should do.

    Nah, just keep them for your friends who want to smoke with you but don't know a damned thing about cigars.
    Just a stay at home dad (retired until I choose otherwise, thanks Canadian Army medical pension) hanging out and enjoying the good life.

    It was a package deal. They are from 1997 and still in a sealed box. Two people have offered to buy them. Quite a few years back I liked them because they were so mild. I have since moved on to better cigars. The Partagas are the ones I've been waiting to smoke. I'll give it a couple more months.

    Macanoodles don't age. They just stay Macanoodles!!!

    If you smoke 'em, please don't tell me. I'm slowly gaining confidence with your judgement.

    I guarantee I won't smoke any. My friend might be getting a new job. If he gets the job he'll have to leave the area. He is one of the guys that wants to buy them. I'll probably give them to him as a going away present.

    I tried a hemmingway from the cooler it was pretty darn good. I chose it because it wass short and its freaking freezing outside.

    ...and I betcha it was the longest short smoke you've ever had!

    Was it a Short Story? And (more importantly) was it a Short Story MADURO???

    ...in case you can tell - I love to live vicariously through other cigar smokers. Although - when they're smoking Acids and Muniemakers (CC, you dog you) I tend to get sick...
