November COTM Club

Not in Derby...I mean fucking predictive text. I meant fucking cold. On reflection I'm lucky it changed both words.

It gave us a giggle [emoji4]

I thought Secretos to start with but its appearance seemed to be different. At least the box I had were toothier.

So mine arrived today (thanks Adam). I let it rest for 8 hours (!) and smoked it. I measured it to be 40rg and 105 mm. The construction was good and i could see plenty of long fillers. The wrapper came unstuck after 1cm but easily fixed with a licky licky sticky sticky. The flavour was oat and chocolate but sadly i got an ammonia taste after a third that persisted to haunt the rest of the cigar until it unravelled again on the last third. In my opinion it would really benefit from a minimum of 5 years age. Conclusion = cohiba maduro secretos

Glad you've gotten them safely. Sorry to hear about the ammonia taste Joe

I never had it before, it was beautiful otherwise & a quality smoke. I like these blind tastings it allows me to try stuff i'd not think of otherwise. What i mean is a maduro wrapper isn't something I've had before.

How does the COTM rota work? Is there a list or does the previous organiser select someone?

That's Budgie, you are now the host for February

[Wigan]

There was a few people who wanted into this months that missed out due to space restrictions. Do we get first dabs at next month?

[PeeJay]

It was originally launched as a club but essentially the number each month depends on how many cigars that particular host gets in. Perhaps we should change it to a first come first serve list each month dependent on that factor. Opinions?

A thought which I am sure we all have almost everyday (some of us more) which could be applied to this situation:

Order more cigars! lol

A joyous thought indeed but the host doesn't buy singles usually so is slightly constricted by the size of the box he buys. I launched with a mazo of 25 Diesels which enabled 12 players to have 2 each with one for me. The essential rule is for the host not to end up out of pocket so if he buys a box of 25 he has to do the same as me or get 24 players or accept the leftovers and cost. Like I said, its all down to the host.

How are you guys all posting singles? I struggled finding the packaging needed.

I use a ziplock bag inside a small jiffy bag inside a larger jiffy bag. The double bagging provides sufficient rigidity and protection. This has worked to the USA quite safely.
