Yup, not something we advertise.

In that MRN book, I seen he said that the cigars are not able to be aged once a SLB cab is opened up for inspection, or something like that. Is that totally true?

Where does he say that? (Page number).

Completely false.

Why keep the ash as long as possible?

Chris. · 01-03-2010, 10:52 AM

Some believe the ash helps to mellow the flavors of the cigar down a little and keep the burn straight. I always knock it off around 1" anyways.

I seen someone on that over at puff.com I'll see if I can dig it up/

MrOneEyedBoh · 01-03-2010, 11:56 AM

I found it here at cA forums.

http://forums.cigaraficionado.com/ev...95/m/846102093

Its in there somewhere, im going to read all of the posts now.

Here is the quote " I do believe he is referring to aging and not breaking the seal on the boxes. the varnished boxes slow any air exchanging while the paper boxes let fresh air in and out quickly.

"While aging cigars, once the seal has been broken, they all become the same." I believe that MRN said that in his book.

Ive seen more talk about that on other forums, but I cannot find it. Any info on that?

I Agree With Tom. Cigars Change In Flavor, Texture, Etc, "Daily" . How Can They "Become The Same"???

Perhaps they were trying to say once the box is opened (or removed from the box) they all age at the same pace.

That Seems Like "Common Sense", Though, Tim. I'm Still

I just read Mr. Nee's thoughts on aging and on packaging. No where does he state that unsealing or opening an SLB will stop the cigar from aging. In fact, he says that exposing cigars to oxygen will actually cause them to ferment and age more quickly, though he does opine that cigars that are devoid of oxygen or breathing will age more "beautifully", albiet more slowly.

MrOneEyedBoh · 01-03-2010, 03:41 PM

huh, wonder why that member was talking about that? Is it somewhere else?

Not in Min Ron Nee's book as far as I can see.

MrOneEyedBoh · 01-03-2010, 03:49 PM

Well good to go then. Thanks for verifying that.

My pleasure, never a chore to pick that book up and learn.

Good example of "don't believe everything you read" - especially when you don't know the source.

I got the cigar bug big-time over the last two months or so. However, I live in Wisconsin and the biggest issue I have is where to smoke.

I won't/can't smoke in the house, and the last week has been too cold to be easily comfortable in the garage. How do my northern brethren deal with this? Do you routinely use a cigar lounge? Have you build and outdoor room of some kind?

Thanks, in advance.

Mike

We decided when we moved into our latest house about 8 years ago, smoking in the house was not going to happen. So....

I've got a "lounge" set-up in my insulated garage. A kerosene space heater aimed at my legs and I'm good for hours at a time.

Thanks for the Info. My garage is not insulated, but I may have to change that and keep an eye on the big box stores for deals on heaters!
