I have to agree with the bad hygrometer camp. Having a good hygrometer that you can depend on the reading is a necessity. I also use the 65% beads from Heartfelt and they hold somewhere between 63-67% in 8 different coolerdors/tupperdors. I used the amount of beads recommended on their web...

I also had a couple of xikars before I bought a palio, and one of the xikars had the internal spring break. It was a silver one with the composite body. I sent it back to xikar with a note saying I wish I had bought one with the metal frame because hopefully it would be stronger than the one I...

My own opinion, for what it is worth: Incredibly overpriced for the quality.........Make a crappy cigar, call it limited and price it in the stratosphere and make a lot of money.....Again just my opinion, but there are much better cigars for a 1/4 of the price.

Pailo, can't go wrong.....clean cut EVERY time. Had mine almost a year and I smoke on average 2-3 cigars a day - and it cuts as good as the day I bought it.

And the slide begins to pick up speed..........

Welcome to CS and glad you have your humidity stabilized. I also belong to the "beads are best crowd" If you have any further problems, I would sincerely recommend getting some 65% beads form Heartfelt. They also sell the hygrometer calibration bags. This method is by far the best I have...

:tpd:

I have experienced it but it has been rare for me. For me the test is if the same cigar from the same box/fiver does it again than it's the stick.....more times than not it has been my own taste buds, which I chalk up to something I ate/drank or maybe some meds I may be on. Just my :2

Depends on the stick, but generally speaking the last 1/3 to the nub.

The day will come that I'll vote for a Democrat before I would pay $50.00 for a single cigar....ANY CIGAR.

My position after years of smoking. If it taste like s..t, no matter what the cost then I'm canning it. I ended up with a lot of cigars early in my career that never was smoked because they were purchased under the premise "this is a pretty good stick for the price", And then they just take...

Accept it and throw it away when you get home. Say: Thanks for the stick, but I really had my heart set on smoking ________this today.

I have enjoyed a lot of RPs, but the R4 Maduro, was probably the one I liked the least.

The CAO Anniversary is the best representation of the wrapper, IMHO.

Thanks for the review.....they are VERY STRONG cigars, but also very flavorful. I like the DL Chisel Maduro even better.
