Resting Cigars

[rodwha]

I said this a few weeks ago:

"Since I had 10 CAO Gold cigars and had been craving a puff I smoked one ROTT and found it to be a bit unpleasant until maybe the last 1/4 of a 5" stick. I can't say I've noticed this before, though I likely would have smoked an Avo as those were the ones I got in samplers. But I also didn't smoke as often so they sat longer. I'm going to need to keep these going better!"

Now I see why. I grabbed the CAO Black and not a Gold as I thought. I realized the Gold has a red band and I recalled a black band so I checked and found it missing. I guess I might not care as much for the Blacks.

I do enjoy the Golds almost as much as the Avo Classics. I'm happy, but seeing how deep I am now (smoking 4-5 times a week and thinking about it those other days) I'm thinking I need to find something similar that I can have 2-3 boxes shipped for $100 to keep plenty around so as to turn my hobby fund attention elsewhere too!

So much for once or twice a week!

Opus X should always be rested. I smoke one from 04 yesterday and it blows anything from today out of the water. They are blended for that. I'm convinced.

Ohh so true. I still have several sizes resting from the late 90's and still think they need more time lol.

For some reason I've never smoked a bad Avo either. Whether ROTT, in a B&M, or one that's been sitting for months. Never an off flavor, never a bad burn.

I usually rest my cigars between my index and middle finger. Sometimes on an ashtray but not for very long, a few minutes at most.

I realized I hadn't smoked a CAO Gold, but a Black. The rest of the Golds I have smoked have been very good. I'm certainly pleased with them!
