Need Advice on Cigars

Over-humidified, perhaps?

They would be pretty strong compared to the few Cuesta-Ray that I have had.

Consider an Oliva G.

I can't testify as to how they were stored because I didn't make the run into town to pick them up. It would make sense, because you also have to be careful with the cigars you get at the PX because they are stored in an open glass display case. We'll smoke these (have to) and when we come back next month we will bring more cigars. If anyone is interested, they do have Cuesta Rey Aristocats (glass tubed) and I could pick some up for you

Now, you have to cut down from your daily cigarette smoking if you want to reach your deadline. How many cigars you should cut down on the regular basis depends upon how heavy a smoker one is. You can substitute regular cigarettes with those of containing no smoke.

What? Are you saying i can substitute E- cigarettes for cigars.

S.R. if Mangy didn't already report it.

Well i had to try the Brickhouse cigars again and still they have problems.

First box i had was a a event introducing them. they were a little over humidified and split like crazy.
2nd box was 6 months later and perfect RH 68% i let them rest a month and half the box still split and fell apart.
Now a few months ago i picked up a hand full and have been smoking them at random, yep you guessed it 2 out of 5 fell apart cracking.

they have a nice taste but ill be damned if i waste any more time on them.

I didn't care for the 2 I had-( 5x54 robusto ). Strong but I didn't sense any flavor to speak of. They did not show any signs of falling apart or cracking.
