Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I think it's a taste issue. I rarely smoke my cigars farther down than an inch and a half left, because it tastes bitter and nasty at that point. I never nub cigars.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Where were you smoking it? This happens a lot when the ambient air where you're smoking is really dry; the tobacco toward the burning end expands (you can see this if you look at a cigar you've been...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I wouldn't worry about it. Flavor "mingling" is either entirely mythical or requires decades to happen. Cigars won't adopt the attributes of cigars in close proximity to them; I have trouble...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
The only thing I've ever noticed was where it was coming from. The smoke from my mouth and what's coming from the head is a different color than the smoke emanating from the foot. Just different...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
70% is generally cited as the ideal, but a lot of hobbyists who've tinkered have found lower humidity levels to be better. I also prefer 65% RH. Too low is up to the individual. There are some who...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Not any. Any premium stuff (stuff that's been filtered 3-5 times). Avoid regular stuff like Ronson fuel - it can clog the jets on higher-end lighters like your Colibri.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Puff Puff Pass. It's when a group of guys at a herf take turns passing around a cigar (usually many cigars), and it's what it sounds like - take a puff or two, pass it to the next guy. It's a way to...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
These flavors are not added, but are natural flavor characteristics of the tobacco. Many different types of tobaccos from many different countries and many different sub-regions are grown and cured...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
If it always happens, try to adjust your humidity down or let them sit a little longer. To keep it from happening, I usually purge after an ashing to keep the wrapper going, because it happens to me...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Some leave it on to protect the cigars from getting damaged when rummaging through the humidor, some (like me) leave it off because it's ugly as all getout. Doesn't make a difference, cellophane...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I believe it refers to when you get the taste longer after you exhale the puff, as opposed to directly after. After you exhale, you get most of the taste IME, but it goes away in seconds. Some cigars...

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
It's putting the cigar in a humidor with very low humidity or no humidification at all for any period from a few hours to 10 days to improve the smoking quality of the cigar (flavor, burn, draw,...
