Cigarro del dia - numero siete

Or so you would see if my board quota hadn't been reached. Oh, for the assistance of a Global Moderator!

Well, SOMEBODY changed his settings or device on or about April 14th - and now every picture he posts is 10x more space than previous...and has filled up our space Your pics were running 150k-250k on average before, and since April 14 have been 1.5-2.5Mb. I will have to go through and shrink them down and see if I can clear up some space.

Not sure if you changed devices or settings, but your pictures went from 960x720 pixels to 4032 x 3024.

Yes. When I send photos via email, I'm given the opportunity to change the size if the picture to save space. Is that function possible on the forum? Changing the photo's size via the phone/camera does not seem to be an option.

If using a droid phone in camera tap upper right for more. Looks like < . Then second from left is sizing options.

I had a lovely cigar night on Friday at Mike's. Started with a vintage Monte Especial. The cigar had light milk chocolate flavors throughout. The problem was, I didn't figure out they were chocolate until I got home that night and needed some sugar. I grabbed some hershey's squares and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Very interesting conneciton there...
At Mikes I enjoyed an Opus Churchill with a Destino al Siglo band. It was not a regular Opus, that was for sure. I can't be sure really what it was though. I am not enough of a Fuente hound to be able to pinpoint the profile associated with the DaS because those I have smoked all seemed to be wrapped over drastically different cigars from one another. This was enjoyable, and not overly strong, but filled with hard flavors of smoke, wood and even a typical tobacco AROMA. It felt "old" in the sense that it was of a style I wouldn't associate with things made today. I enjoyed it for what it was, as well as what it wasn't. The construction was absolutely flawless (having attempted to ash the cigar at nearly 2", it held tight and wouldn't let go). I smoked this for 2 hours and enjoyed every minute.

^^^That sounds lovely! I've got a DaS laying around for some special occasion. Right now digging on a 3 year old Fratello from my first RMCF.

(And if anyone is interested in a VIP ticket to this year's RMCF, see the other thread for details)

I kid you not, this cigar had the STRONGEST manure stench I've ever smelled on a cigar. It was delicious. I posted this on Instagram, this might be my favorite Crowned Heads cigar in their portfolio. I'll have to smoke a few more to make it concrete.

There is nothing more indicative, NOTHING, more than that barnyard/manure odor from a cigar. If I get that I know I'm in for a great experience.

The hard part is done! Trampoline is in the hole, now just have to fine-tune the leveling. I think a RASCC is in order before I climb into the hole again!

I love the Balmoral 18yo but unfortunately the humidity is too high in the walk in IMO.. and its affecting the cigar pretty heavily.

Humidifiers can be turned off in humid climates during summer months. Cigars arrive so wet that they will stabilize the room, in most cases. Volume, stock quantity, etc. all play into the efficacy but excess moisture is never better. It's like a pipe needing a pipe-cleaner when the tobacco is too moist; condensation impacts the smoking experience.

Exactly, this was at a different shop than I normally go to, but I'll never understand why he chooses o keep it that way

I've lived here 2 years this month, and have yet to put a drop of water in the humidors....with few exceptions, they've stayed between 65-70% year round.
