I've said this before - but this is just a reminder. I'll be breaking BOTL over time in order to get it into a far better place. Just be patient if you can't reach us! We'll be back
Ya know...I rarely reach for a mild smoke. I like em strong. With that said, when I do find myself in the mood...there might not be a better mild smoke than a LGC #4-2002. Light, sweet, fruity and floral. It's a great little mild smoke.
PS: The only people that I know that like their CC at 70%+ are the French. You would actually be surprised at how many knowledgeable BOTL keep their massive collections at 60% or lower. I don't personally like my CC lower than 62% but it's hard to argue with the guys who have been doing...
Hey Jay...just a few thoughts. First, I think it's best to keep your cubans and non cubans seperate. Cubans do best between 62%-67%. NC do best 68-72%. How are you humidifying? I would consider beads to keep the humidity more consistant. Wide swings can wreak havoc on the wrappers.
You use nearly every muscle in your body to swim. It takes strength, endurance, technique and tremendous skill. I do not think danger is an essential trait of sport.
I personally wouldn't put in any cigar into a humi that smelled like plastic. Be patient...let it run for a few more days...occasionally letting it air out. I would imagine that the smell will run off the longer the frig runs.
