I like to add something I figured out, but wish I was told earlier. Smoking a cigar too fast is a thing, but so is drawing too deep or pulling too hard. Early on I discovered my pace was fine, but I was drawing too hard and too deep. This ended up with the same effect as too fast. Especially on the smaller ring gauges. I had to teach myself to draw in slower without pulling too hard.
Always appreciate being educated.🧐
Love cigars and these videos make me love them even more
I have watched your videos since I've started smoking cigars, I have learned so much and refer to your videos when talking with others. Keep up the great work!
P.S. you gave me a time because I was having humidity issues with my 100ct humidors. They are operating perfectly. I just need to remember to re season once a year!. Thanks Again!
Love to hear it, Sean! Thanks for watching and sharing our content with others 🙏
Great video. These are the types of subjects that help us all enjoy cigars a lot more.
That's what it's all about 🙌
I’m really enjoying your videos. I’ve been smoking cigars for a while, mostly in ways that are observed from others. These little informative videos are helping to correct thing I had been doing a little wrong, or ways of doing things that were just simply better to make a cigar more enjoyable. The presentation and content are excellent. Thanks for sharing the knowledge 👍🏻
We need another LONG ASH COMPETITION
Thank you so very much for being my cigar teacher the knowledge I know about cigars is because of you and I will also see you here next time 🤩
Good Evening 😊 Thanks for sharing your wisdom 👍🏼 Have a great day and Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Loooove the 80s porn music guys
For real lol! That's what I thought when I first heard it 😂
How do you know that? 😅
Covered everything about that burnt flavour 💯
There's a big difference between strength & flavor. It's easy to confuse the two when choosing a cigar. That's why it's always a good idea to ask your cigar retailer if you're not sure of the blend you're interested in 👍👍
Learn something every time I watch one of your videos.
Great, very informative video. I’ve ran into these issues for these exact reasons aforementioned.
Sometimes the simple videos offer the best advice.😊
Early bird! Love your videos Mazz! Yk i usee to be a Gordo fan until i saw your corona video! I tried a corona sized and i fell in love! Great work 👏
Class act, always enjoy and learn something.
Gosh I love this channel. The relaxing narration, the relaxing background music, and the super-relaxing slowmo cigar shots. It's art!
🙏
Great info, thanks Anthony!
Thanks for the tips, a lot of good content on this channel, I have learned so much from you Maz.
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for the tips Mazz. Really appreciate it as a newbie.
👊
I may be guilty of over toasting, especially outside on a windy day with a single flame torch when it’s difficult to see the flame in the daylight. Been enjoying this channel, thanks fellas!
👊
As seen from my photo, I have become a cigar lover. Occasional but passionate smoker. A lot of things I have learned from this channel and enjoyed many videos. Also, as a spot suit lover, I started wearing more jackets and pants and enjoyed that as well. I think that all you advocate and talk about is very useful, detailed and honest. Glad I have discovered this channel! All the best!
Thank you for the kind words 🙏
Had my first Ashton Cabinet, I usually smoke the aged Maduro, very pleasant cigar…will go back there soon. Going to try the Padron 1964 Anniversary also
Great advice ❤
Another great vid, brother
Holding my humi at 65 rh at 75 f°. Never any mold or bugs... Holding sticks around 70 and higher at higher temps grow bugs... The old 70/70 just don't work anymore... Smoke mine at 58-65 rh with my humidimeter depending on region...
70/70 doesn’t work anymore? As a general rule it sure does still work. Why doesn’t it “work” anymore? I won’t debate that humidity levels between 65-72 is a personal choice depending on how you like your cigars but this “new math” for cigar storage going around is overthinking something simple. In my opinion 75 degrees for long term storage is too high. Cooler is always better than warmer when it comes to long term storage of cigars. Obviously you do what works for you but to say the 70/70 rule doesn’t “work” anymore isn’t true.
Great information 👍 I learn a lot from your videos 😊
Happy to hear that!
Huh i never thought that i can over humidify a cigar.
Thanks for the info Doc 👍
Any time!
Thank you!!!!!
Mazz. U your good. Yeah I’m talking to u brudder. 😎🐊
You always mention the humidity level of 65-72% relative to what temperature?
Most households are kept at around 70 degrees. Cigars are comfortable where we are comfortable. Too many people overthink temperature. Cooler is always better than warmer as a rule. A humidor should never be kept in direct sunlight in a room.
Great video! I have been using a 75% boveda pack in my 150ct humidor but i can tell it is too high moisture wise because when i have been smoking my cigars, they res up on the end where i draw from. headed to my cigar shop right now to buy different bovedas
75 is indeed too high, you want to keep the humidity range between 65-72% for your cigars. Anything above 72% runs the risk of encountering mold
What are your thoughts on blowing out (through) to purge the carbon build up.?
It's not always necessary but can definitely help if you're starting to get bitter flavors from a cigar
I've had this issue with Padrons - controversial take, but they are so loosely packed that anything outside of a very slow pace and a punch cut seems to cook the heck out of them.
Can you do “why my cigar won’t produce smoke”? I’ve had that happen a few times lately. It’s burning consistently, just has NO smoke. I had a leaf by Oscar do it and a NUB.
Hi there, usually during the last third, around one or one and a half inch long the smell come, is it normal then? Cause from the start till the end flavours all good…
Try purging your cigar when you get to that point
👌🏻that’s what I forgot🙂
🐐
Why cigars don't humidified uniformly in humidor? Some or softer others are harder.
Look up our video titled "Cigar 101: Rotating Cigars in a Humidor"
🙌🏼🔥🔥🙌🏼
I feel like halfway through I’m always getting a bitter flavor from the cigar. It always starts out GREAT but then it gets gross. I’ve read I could be smoking it too fast. Does anyone else have any tips?
def smoking too fast i used to have this and it went away when i slowed down
Sounds like you may be smoking a little quickly. Slow it down a like bit and take more pauses in between your draws
What is this lighter?:)
Xikar Allume Table Top Triple Torch Lighter
I’m a rookie I smoked a Java Latte cigar for my 2nd cigar ever and not once did I taste any coffee.
As long as you enjoyed it that's all that matters!
What can sometimes cause bitterness?
In most cases, improper humidity or a bad draw. If a cigar is too dry the tobacco can burn too fast and taste bitter. If you have a bad draw and are trying to pull too hard/often, that can also cause a bitter flavor.
What if you don't own a humidor?
What if you buy online and smoke them isn't it the store responsible for the cigars?
Why? It already left their inventory 😂 its only their fault if they were selling u mold infected cigars
You should still have a humidor, even a “tupperdor”. Because oftentimes cigars aren’t being humidified in transit, common tip is to put your newly received cigars in your humidor for 2 weeks or so to get them humidified.
Get a boveda bag, I got mine for like 8 bucks on cigarbid. Fits like 50 sticks, and good for a year with precisely zero muss or fuss.
Also a good idea to purge occasionally that is blow through the cigar. It keeps tars from building up 😊
Thanks everyone
the footage of nearly melting of the foot of that cigar was painful to watch
Good, that means you know what you're doing 😂
Mine runs around 62-64% I never have this issue.. maybe my Govee is off 🫠
