I love the Padron Anniversary Seriers, but I wouldn't call them mild. It's a great smoke so you should still try them.

Bought a box of the AB's because it seemed cost effective to stop paying $10 for what I could pay $6.... They will become by go to until I decide I like something better that is so cost effective. I have also enjoyed Casa Magna Robusto, Punch Rare Corojo(my neighbors go to) and Ashton Aged Maduro....all of which I would buy again and put in the humidor. I am buying and smoking....trying to get an idea as to what I REALLY like. God this is fun & enjoyable stuff..... |

I seen here under Scott's WTS link ( http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showpo...20&postcount=1 )
I noticed he said that his beads absorb any free ammonia what is given off of the cigars during aging. Do all beads absorb ammonia? |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
No, scott's are a special type of bead. They work astoundingly well! I cannot explain how it does what it does, but maybe Scott can chime in?

Not sure if Scott reads this thread, might be better to search some of his threads.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Do I need to have the humidification puck attached to the top of my humidor as I see is almost always the case with the different devices?
As you can see in the pic I posted on 09-29-2009, 07:54 PM it sticks down quite a bit. Think I can get a few more cigars in if I set it down somewhere, as opposed to leaving it on the top..... |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I did for a while. Until I discovered it leaking on my cigars for the first time. Then I discovered humidity beads. Then I discovered coolers. Then I discovered closets and industrial humidifiers. I'm kind of afraid of what I'll discover next. Hoping it's more money, though. I really need to buy some more cigars

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Ok so this might be a total beginner question. I'm just starting to try to enjoy them and not just be completely trashed when i break one out. Ive only tried a Fuente 8-5-8, which i dont know why but i really just got tired of. and a Padron 1964 which i really enjoyed, but i think i could have enjoyed it if i knew what i was doing.
Whats the best way to get the flavor out of the cigar and not just taste tobacco. I hear talk of nuts, pine, spices, cocoa, etc.... So can someone explain the proper way i should be taking the smoke in? Big puff, little puff, let it sit in my mouth till i have to breath, move my tongue around. Ive tried out the nose which is kinda hard because i dont smoke anything else so its all new and i dont want to inhale. Gimmie some pointers guys. Thank yall |

It took me a few months to actually pick up anything other than "pepper" and "tobacco". Read some reviews, buy different strength, wrapper, filler combos and the flavors will begin to show up. Don't focus on it too much, the idea is to enjoy the cigar, not try to find that hint of 7 year old Madagascar Vanilla.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Wow... that is a hard one to answer in a post...
First of all just keep smoking. You will discover the sticks the YOU like and don't like. As far as developing your palette to the point of tasting different things... it just takes time as well. Just as with fine wine or food it is a process that takes time to develop the skill. Some are more talented at it and will be better... and then some like me are always destined to have the palette of a goat!!! I used to roll the smoke around in my mouth much more than I do now. Now I pretty much take a puff to get the smoke going, and then take a mouthful of smoke. I exhale some and then snork (nose smoke) some. The I exhale through my mouth and then the nose. That is just what I do and I am not saying it is THE way or anything. When you start to snork just take little bits at a time... you will get used to it and you will truly begin to taste a lot more in the cigar. |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Ok ill try to snork..... i always end up coughing though but now that ive read the step by step it might help. I just feel like im wasting sticks when all i taste is the tobacco, but i understand that i need to let my sense develop more.

There is no right or wrong way as each person's experience is their own. But there are things which you can do to make sure you are getting the most out of every cigar. Lastly, I want to add that even in doing so, you can still find cigars that are not going to be what you like tasting.
