I finally dipped my toe in the V-Herf pool last night briefly. I was smoking a fairly old Cain F Lancero Tubo (having removed it from the tube, of course), and checked out the Smoke Inn Room on the Whereby app. It was fairly early, and there were only a few people there, but it was pretty cool, and I enjoyed it and will return for more virtual herfing. Perhaps I’ll try to pop in at various times of the day to see who might be in there. In all the years I’ve been interacting digitally with people, I haven’t just video chatted with people, so this was neat, and I’ll keep doing it. I usually just sit around listening to podcasts keeping to myself, but I’ll try to be more social. Suggest some other popular video herfs besides Smoke Inn. I’ve been trying to get in on the Jersey Cigar Lounge’s herfs on Discord, but they always seem to be too late for me! Oddly, by 8:30 I’m done with my cigar and on to other things!… Continue reading

An Epic Maduro, A Cohiba and a Couple of Joyas and a Rant
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and had plenty to eat and adequate cigars! I took some along to the feast I attended, but it was too windy and cold to enjoy one, so I waited until I got home and enjoyed an Ashton VSG on the porch. I usually reach for a classic cigar of some sort on days such as this, and after spending over five hours in the car and a long day of eating, the VSG was a delightful end to a long day. Because of the holiday it was a slow news week, and I was lazy about a midweek post, so I slacked off this week. Let’s make up for it today. Early in the week I dug deep in the humidor and pulled out one of the original Epic Maduro Double Coronas from my stash of
Epic cigars. I knew it was an old one because it only had the Epic band, no second band with the “maduro” designation.… Continue reading
I Goofed, I Didn’t Use My CigarMedics HumidiMeter!
Sunday my wife and I went into Philly and saw the Philly Pops presentation of the Beatles Abbey Road with a Beatles tribute group called Classical Mystery Tour. I can do without the Beatles tribute part, it would have been fine with the Pops orchestra and a band a good singers playing the material. It was still an entertaining show, I’ve seen a lot of Beatles tribute bands and always have trouble with ones where the Paul character can’t be bothered to learn to play lefty. Anyway, traffic sucked coming home, as per normal, and I was quite ready for a cigar, and grabbed a recently acquired RoMaCraft Aquataine Knuckle Dragger. Here’s where I made a critical error. One of my pet peeves is when I light up a cigar that ends up being overhumidifed and it doesn’t burn right, it smolders instead of burns and doesn’t give you a great experience. It’s so hard to tell when you light a cigar what it’s going to smoke like. This particular cigar I had hoped would be a sure thing, and it turned out that it just wasn’t ready, it hadn’t been in my humidor long enough, and the shop I bough it from was new to me and their humidor is obviously a little high. Here’s where the Cigarmedics HumidiMeter tool comes in! I’ve been using this for the last month.… Continue reading
