Montecristo Petit Edmundo
This is my first Cuban cigar, gifted to me by my brother. I'll keep it simple and say this is a very good cigar. Toasted honey notes on the back end. I wish this stuff wasn't so expensive!
He also gifted me a Partagas no4. Can't wait to dig into that one.
Can't go wrong with the original. As others have stated, it's light on the latakia and heavy on the VA and Orientals. I personally find it quite delightful.
Boy oh boy did you just stumble on a money pit.
I have some straights, but honestly 90% of the time I use a double edged safety razor. I shave every day for work, but on the days I can relax and enjoy the shave, I go with the straight.
Welcome to the forum.
I'm quite fond of Falcon pipes and use mine often. I also smoke flake tobaccos often and tend to do a messy fold and stuff that works for me.
Find out how much flake fits into your bowl. You don't want it to be too snug and you don't want to cram it in there. Just slide...
