    These are able to be adjusted. I believe all of the Cigar Oasis' can be adjusted.

    That's another company I've never had any cigars from.

    I had it with coffee yesterday morning. The draw was great, and it had a even burn till the end. I’m no expert on this, I ask Jim for help all the time, but from what I’ve learned that’s a decent stick. I’m other words i myself would buy another. Matter of fact I’m going this weekend to snag a few.

    I'm no expert either, but those are signs of a well constructed cigar. Most importantly, as long as it tasted good to you.

    Remnants of today's Acid maduro cigarillo, in my fancy new metal alloy, chrome ashtray. Didn't think about a picture till I was done.

    Nope, you're not bidding against me......... (I wouldn't stand a chance!)

    But, I did win some 2nds the other night. Along with some MX 2's and some more Red Eyes! :handshake:

    Now, I'll have to take a drive somewhere to enjoy one of 'em.

    I'm really starting to like the smaller ring gauges myself.

    Those are pretty good also. I have had a couple of those & really liked them. I have a box of them stashed away.

    Got some new accessories today. Got a new Xikar V cutter (never used one before), one of the Xikar Xi cutters and a bigger lighter. I was still running a 10 dollar cutter lighter combo I got when I started cigars. The lighter is good, but it just doesn't hold enough fluid to take out and about. It's good for cigarillos, but can only light about 1.5 cigars before it's empty. So I got a double flame Jet Line. It came with a little flame adjuster and punch. It also has a punch on the bottom of the lighter.

    Also, having hygrometer issues. So I ordered a Boveda calibration kit, so I can see if the new ones need to be replaced. According to a salt test, they couldn't be adjusted enough to get them to 75%, and the 2 new ones were 4% different, before and after adjustment. One read 63 and the other read 67 before adjustment and they can only be moved 6% either direction. But when I put all 3 in the same humidor and left them for 24 hours, 2 were the same and 1 was 1% lower. I don't know, but I'm going to use a Boveda and start over. Maybe my salt solution wasn't right, or something. Maybe my bags sucked..........not sure.

    Anyways..........
