A little late
Smoked the Romeo and Juliet reserva but didn't count on the altitude factor. Had to really keep puffing to keep it lit bc of the low oxygen rate. Wish I had saved it for a different time but oh well. It was pretty good anyways. Realized quickly I couldn't smoke a cigar that hard and continue reading so gave up and listened to the TSIO podcasts and contemplated my upcoming recording project instead.

You lead a miserable and pathetic life.

What was the altitude? Couldn't be more than 8000 give or take.

About 7,000. My cigars are pretty dialed in for sea level with low humidity which means they are fairly "wet" as otherwise they'll burn way too fast. Had I thought of things in advance I would have probably let the thing dry out in the dry air a bit beforehand and it would have been fine.YellowSnow said:What was the altitude?

Jesus you are a fucking nerd. Cigar physics superiority guy! My Daddy used to smoke Macanudo Ascots on the chairlift rides at like 9000 feet.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Do you know if your daddy could suck a golf ball through a garden hose too? Asking for a fren...YellowSnow said:

nah but really, tiny little Ascots vs. a No. 2(?) makes a big difference in how hard you gotta pull if the fucker doesn't wanna stay lit. I smoked a Macanudo in a tropical storm in Florida without missing a beat once it was lit(wet fucking matches).YellowSnow said:

At 7000 feet, edibles would be better.

Swisher sweets would have solved that problem

I probably would have saved the cigar and smoked one if I'd had them.LebamDawg said:Swisher sweets would have solved that problem

Sounds like a man after my own heart. Spent many an afternoon with Master Taint by my side doing the same thing.YellowSnow said:

I'm by no means any kind of cigar expert but once I had my own humidor with a decent hygrometer it was completely game changing for me. Now I pay close attention to such things.Gilbystaint said:

I can't afford cigars or fancy boxes to keep them in. Thanks white people.

Ziplock and a lettuce leaf works too. So there’s that.Swaye said:I can't afford cigars or fancy boxes to keep them in. Thanks white people.

Thanks for letting us in on tobacco though. It's killed more white devils that tomahawks or arrows ever did.Swaye said:I can't afford cigars or fancy boxes to keep them in. Thanks white people.

I use lemon, orange, or lime rinds in a bag when I travel. Works great.Gilbystaint said:

FYI I told Yellow about this but this is what I got to start and it actually works pretty damn good once I got it dialed in. Takes more work than a bigger/better one to get it there but once it's dialed in so long as you leave it shut most of the time it is pretty effective. Probably not as important in the Souf' to keep your cigars in a box though. My grand father in law in florida just keeps them in regular boxes bc the humidity is so damn high.Swaye said:I can't afford cigars or fancy boxes to keep them in. Thanks white people.
Humidor for under $30 -

A humidor is a good idea, even in humid climates. Air conditioning dries them out in no time.UW_Doog_Bot said:

I got a humidor a year ago. Really makes a difference

Straight, V, or punch? Did you consider as more aggressive cut to try and loosen the draw?UW_Doog_Bot said:but better than never I suppose. Last weekends camping activities.

*edit looks like a torpedo which I usually avoid based on frequent experiences with a tight draw. It's a real bummer -
Shit man, a good travel humidor is cheap and worth it if not just to keep them from getting banged aroundUW_Doog_Bot said:

Definitely work fine but get a digital hygrometer for it. The hygro in that range of humidor are really just decoration. In fact, I'd suggest avoiding that dial up front at all, not only is it unreliable but the fit is often sloppy and susceptible to leaking humidityUW_Doog_Bot said:

Punch, loosened it up but it wasn't the draw that was the problem. It was fine as long as I was actually drawing on it it just would go out quickly as soon as I wasn't.minion_doog said:
