Great smokes these. How did you find the draw?

I went for a punch on this initially and the draw was a little tight, after a straight cut it was perfect.

I think I've read that you've had issues with a tight draw when smoking these? I have only had 4/5 and I haven't had any issues yet. This was pulled straight out of the tupperdore and smoked.... Have you tried dry-boxing?

First beer out in while. RASS to accompany.

I haven’t been organised enough recently to dry box. I store everything at 65, I think I’m going to get a couple of 60g 62 Bovedas and keep a couple of months supply in a 12l lock n lock and see how that goes.

How did you find this one in the end?

That definitely sounds like an experiment worth trying. I have a 60g 65% boveda in the tupperdore and it sits around 60-62%.

It was a really nice smoke, smooth with an even burn and overall it makes for a great shorter smoke.

Fingers crossed the experiment works for you 👍🏻

Okay so I'm a bit late to the Fuente Friday party as technically I smoked this yesterday, but I had a great time smoking the Arturo Fuente Opus X Love Affair last night and given I'm a shameless self-promoter, there's now a review up on my website if you are interested. Just look at that rock solid ash! Straight as a die!

Had a 2014 Punch DC earlier this evening to follow the RASS. Two great smokes and great to be able to get out and have a smoke and drinks with friends at the pub again!

Good to hear CASC is open again, but I assume only drinking as well as smoking outside? Let's make the booking for Thurs & hope I get off in time to join you.
