Here are tips from the latest email.


1. To make sure your cigar cutter stays sharp and clean, keep the wrapper on your cigar before cutting.
2. Placing your guillotine cutter flat on a table and placing the cigar straight up and cutting will ensure a clean, even cut every time.
3. When your cigars tastes too bitter, blow through it. You'll see a bluish smoke come out the lit end. Wait a few seconds, and you should get a nice, clean draw.
4. Lost your cutter and don't feel like biting the end off your $10 stick? If you're on the golf course, use the end of your tee to punch a small hole in your cigar. If you have a steel barrel pen, you can remove the top and use the bottom portion as a quick punch cutter.
5. To make sure your cigar is burning evenly, without canoeing, rotate the cigar after every few puffs. You can also blow slightly on the slow burning side to speed it up, and apply a little saliva with your finger tip to the faster burning side to slow it down.
6. Having a hard time drawing from your cigar? You can take a skewer or straight coat hanger and insert it into the cigar from one end to the other. You can also roll the cigar around in your fingers to loosen up the leaves.
7. Take your time when smoking. If you puff too quickly, your cigar will get too hot, and the taste will be altered. Try one puff every minute as a general rule of thumb.
8. Humidity in a humidor is not a science, despite what you hear.
Don't concentrate so much on the ideal level. Instead, try to keep the level constant. Fluctuation can cause problems with leaves swelling and shrinking. Most people prefer to keep their humidors at the 65 percent range, which is a little drier.
9. Concerned that your humidor doesn't have a good seal? You can try the drop test or the dollar bill test. In the drop test, you drop the lid of your humidor from half open and listen. If it puffs when closing, you have a good seal. If it bangs, you're in trouble. You can also open the lid, insert a dollar bill half way in the humidor, and then close the lid. Tug slightly on the bill. If it gives resistance and is hard to remove, you have a good seal.
10. A cigar also needs to be judged by its wrapping. A perfect cigar is one that has an intact, undamaged wrapper. (If the wrapper is damaged, don't buy it.) The wrapper should also be consistent in color, and it should have a nice scent to it. If the wrapper is heavily "veined," this is another reason to reject a cigar. While feeling it, the cigar should be wrapped nicely--not too tight (very difficult to draw in) or too lose (loss of flavor).

MAXX

My future son-in-law John brought over 2 of these last night. Really, really long cigars and were $5.00 each. Nicaraguan wrapper. These have a nice smell to them before lighting them up. These were actually and enjoyable smoke. Mild flavor and good ash. You need a good hour to finish these off however. We spent the evening trying to figure out how to blow smoke rings while discussing our golf prowess(or inprowess, new word). I will get these again, but do not know if they will fit any of my travel cases, but they may impress the ladies. :-)

PERDOMO

Usually cigars from Nicaragua tend to have a lot of taste and flavor. I could only smoke half of this cigar. The wrapper left a sour taste from the beginning and never got better. Sorry, this one is off of my list.

ACID TEA

OK, If you want flavored cigars, and for some reason these seem popular, maybe its the advertising, the name, or price, then these are ok. The flavor definitely lasts for the entire smoke and these were very mild. It has to be your cup of tea to enjoy these. OK, yes, pun intended.
