Friday Night Cigars - Bolivar No 1

Not done this for a while as I have been watching the pennies a little and my local B&M ain't cheap on the Cuban sticks, but a non-youtubing friend kindly sent me this as a pressie. Apologies for the editing being all over the place. I recorded about 20 minutes of footage and then snipped it to bits in moviemaker so you didn't have to sit through endless rambling!

Oh Jim, ...... you pulled a "kelly". LOL Very funny to see the ash unexpectedly fall. Now I know how people feel watching my videos. Quite entertaining. :) Have you ever tried cutting a cigar with a large punch? I used to use them all of the time. Leaves the cap in a much better condition. (but I'm not sure I like the small hole) It's amazing how a good cigar can bring a big smile to ones face.

Cheers,

Kel

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams I have never used a punch. Maybe I should look into getting one. I am going to order a few Olivas when I have the bucks so I might add a punch in too if they aren't too costly...My cigar cutter is a cheap one and I think it may be partially to blame.

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

@PipesterJim I didin't notice, but do you wet the end of the cigar before you cut? Sometimes those cigar cutters get dull and just stop working well. I've had a bunch of em overy the years. Cutting is always problematic.

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams You're supposed to wet the end of the cigar?!? Nobody told me that!

Viva Bolivar! That's a fine present your friend set you up with there, Jim. Glad to hear it smoked well, packed with flavor, just like a Cuban stick should be.

Cheers,

@cacrow Yes, a lovely gift and it was nice to get a Cuban that wasn't a dissappointment!

Cheers,

Jim

Perhaps if you spent more time with the cigar - rather than giving a continual running commentary on it - you'd enjoy it more.

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

@PipesterJim It helps keep the band from getting fouled up with the cut. (you don't need to wet with a round punch) I wish they made punches that were about as big as a .45 shell, that would be even better)

Great to see you enjoying a Cuban Jim. I have a Montecristo sitting on my bookcase staring me out. No! I'm saving that for a rainy day :-)
