The wrapper tear was my fault. I had the cigar in the ash tray when I put the car in park. The shifter hit the end of the cigar and jammed it up a little.
A week ago I was freezing my butt off trying to get s smoke in. Tonight is my first night in months smoking in shorts. It feels great!
Btw, sorry for all of you that are going through another cold snap. It's going to be in the high teens tonight where I grew up and my parents have had enough snow for the year. I'm sure many of you have as well.
My experience with CC Montes is they can be fairly inconsistent. Some are good, some bad, some meh. But damnit, when they're on, they're on!! This one hits the mark and keeps on going.
My first good-burning Tat Black PL in like forever! Let it soak up a ton of humidity until spongy, smoking it outside in 35% RH. Still requires constant attention or it'll go out and plug.
With thanks to the one and only Smoqman. Great caramel and toffee flavors. Sadly fell apart at the very end. A shame cause it was tasting great, but it doubled in thickness.
