What happened to The Great HBT Stogie Thread

[HoppyDaze]

Decade is a solid affordable smoke for sure...

Rip señor Padron. Also, the tattoo needle is a tasty little bugger

I almost put this one out the 1/3 was really spicy but I stuck with it and it mellowed out some. It was decent. I just don't have a taste for sungrown sticks.

Try the Undercrown Shade. I REALLY like them.

Crux Bull and Bear marblehead. Pretty tasty

Lost the blend info on this one. Not a huge loss, but I don't want to roll any more of these. Not bad, but pretty generic and boring. No depth and very one note. Did a terrible job wrapping this one too

 

[Curtis2010]

Another great stick. One of my favorites so far.View attachment 548831

Yes, Im an RP fan too. Recently finished my last Decade. [emoji46]

Toured Placencia cigar factory in Estelí, Nicaragua a few years ago. They roll for RP and have a way cool blending room where some RP smokes have been formulated.

Back in Liton, Panama to resume working on the f'ing boat. Plan to splash in January.

At least I have some smokes. Good old standby Oro de Panama.

Got here after sunset so it was a little to dark for a good pick...will try and get a good sunset one today.

 

[Curtis2010]

Well, not exactly a great sunset pic, but at least the rain cooled things down.

Really ugly weather off E coast of Nicaragua right now and we are getting some affect from it here in Panamá.

Cold weather’s wreaking havoc on my humidor, holding 60-61% bought some heavy duty freezer bags to toss in my sticks and bovedas, I recently added painters tape to my lid seal i have to press it down to close maybe i’m losing from the bottom?


Edit: Freezer*

 

[TallDan]

Last winter once humidity started dropping in the humidor i started just putting shot glasses of water in the humidor along with the bovedas. It simultaneously kept the humidity up and the bovedas charged. I noticed it was a little low a couple days ago, so it's probably time to start that again for the winter.

I dont normally like panatella size smokes, but my local fabrica threw a few of these in as freebies...not bad...rich big smoke and taste to match in a micro size.

Another great smoke by RP. I think I'm gonna buy a box of these.

 

[6midgets]

After smoking all the great sticks lately these CAO Flavors just aren't doing it for me anymore. I'm glad I only bought a five pack.

Last night and this morning. On a 4 day weekend

[TwistedHops]

Pleasant

 

[BrewinHooligan]

First stick out of my 54rg mold. My cherry bomb blend. It's better to my taste in a smaller ring gauge, but still enjoyable in this format

 

[TwistedHops]

Speak of which, torpedoes!

 

[BrewinHooligan]

Last night with a good buddy

 

[BrewinHooligan]

The first of these I had was back when they first released in the 44rg size and it was kinda harsh and needed time. This is 50rg and smoking much nicer. We sell them at the shop for $8.50 and I feel they smoke well over that price so grab some if you can find them

 

[TwistedHops]

One of these was better than the other...

Thats what she said...geez that sticks almost obscene...or maybe its just the camera angle. [emoji16]

 

[TwistedHops]

Surprisingly spicy... deceptive!
