Impulse purchase

Just picked up a RyJ Churchill tubos at bristol airport. My flight has been delayed for a few hours, so i wanted to treat myself.

Poor choice in the "humidor", especially those available to "all" passengers i.e not duty free. RH appears to be between 65 - 70% not sure how accurate the hygrometer is.

I picked the RyJ Churchill as it is going to be a ceremonial victory cigar as im hoping a work project is coming to an end this week which will be a small win for me.

Ive never smoked such a large cigar before. Im guessing im going to need a few hours. Will i get a massive tobacco hit from this?

Allow yourself two hours, don't rush, have a sweet drink to hand and stay hydrated, you'll be fine.

Cheers for the swift response. Ill make sure ive got all the time in the world and something sugary to hand [emoji106]

I was going to pair it with some Hakushu Japanese whisky ive got tucked away for special occasions. To say im looking forward to it is an understatement.

Alcohol converts back to sugar [emoji16] so you're good.

Good choice Bunny. Just don’t smoke it too fast and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it rather than be knocked for six.

I was pleasantly surprised by the RYJ Churchill, not normally a fan of RYJ as they are very light to mild for me but it did pack loads of flavour and not a really strong nicotine hit so a very pleasant smoke.

I paired with a creamy coffee and it went great.

For nicotine head rushes I normally have a piece of dark chocolate and that seems to fix it for me.

My first churchill was a R&J & indeed it's good to remmeber just how big it looked to me & my mate back then. We were used to PC's & Robusto's so when I picked up a couple of tubed churchills in Spain & brought them back for us to try.
They lasted us an hour & half+ but we managed without a break & as mentioned above the R&J isn't going to give you a bit hit but I'd rcommend having after a dinner with a nice steak of heavy meat dish, enjoy with a Belgian beer or whisky/rum & make sure you won't be interupted; nothing worse than rushing the last third!
