I called in to see Berta at Graham's in Glasgow today and bought one of the robusto's she rolled. A question for you aficionado's out there. Smoke young fresh and new or age it in the humidor for a while?

My uneducated answer would be smoke straight away before it goes sick or you will need to leave it a few week but I'm sure a more experienced brethren will be along shortlyAndy
Looking for Monte Sublimes if you have any? -
Personally given the opportunity of smoking a freshly rolled, I'd go for it

Smoke within a week or put down for a year is the common wisdom (give or take).Originally posted by Simon Bolivar

Thanks for the advice chaps, probably smoke it over the weekendComment

Grahams is on West nile street next to the sony centre. If you know where Greaves sports shop is on Gordon Street. its just round the corner. Personally I prefer Inverarity on Bath Street. The two guys in there are keen cigar smokers, The woman in Grahams is more knowledgable about whisky and I'm a bit iffy about the condition of there cigars. Inverarity has a place in Symington, their head office is there, but I dont know if you can buy from there. There is also some good shops in Edinburgh, that might be handier for you

Theres another thread on this, I bought a half dozen between yesterday and today. smoked one straight away. Great smoke! Only quible would be it could have been slightly tighter with more tobacco. This was her last day in Scotland I believe, think its cardiff next week.
I'll prolly smoke another then put them to sleep for at least a year. get em while you can.Lover of fine Cubans since 2006

Hi mate, if it was noticeably loose, smoke them soon, don't keep them, they won't get any better....IMHO..Originally posted by Kdot View Post

Wasnt overly loose, the robusto I had lasted over an hour, I just prefer a bit of resistance, but then we face the plugged cigar dilema if the roller lacks skill. Unlike my women, Id rather have a loose smoke than a tight one!Originally posted by Puff Scotty View PostLover of fine Cubans since 2006Comment

Small world Chiefy, i'd suggest to smoke it now and get another to smoke next year. If you've not had a custom rolled right of the table before they have a tendancy to go sick after a few weeks, so dont leave it too long.Originally posted by Chiefy View PostHi Kdot

Dont get me started on the Padron 45s...mixed opinions on that smoke. Some swear by it but I just cant get on with the few ive had.Lover of fine Cubans since 2006Comment
