I recently received my CC brand samplers and I'm anxious to start the tasting. How long do you recommend letting them rest before I start? I want to give them the best chance I can, purely for my own selfish reasons, of course.

Great information guys. I only got 7 sticks, one of each so I want to make sure I give them the best chance. I've got to go back to the site and see which labels are which so I know better what to expect. I can't smoke that many sticks per week due to health concerns but I will get to each and every one. I think I'll try the Brazil label first. That's the one I've heard about most. I'll let you know what my caveman palette thinks about it. "Mongo like white smoke from black stick!" is usually what I say after lightup.

And if so...how you doin?
:P
Glad I read the thread again. A neighbor gave me a R&J tubo belicoso and 2 H Upmans. They felt a little dry. I just put them into ICU in my humi. I got a nice ziploc envelope with a water pillow from a recent shipment and now they're resting comfortable in their moist environment. BTW, as far as the CI house brands go, my favorite smokes to date are the Gurkha legend and the Onyx reserve, which was my first box purchase. I do enjoy a fuller bodied smoke, especially a sweet madero.

I'm back again having smoked a Cigar.com Brazillian label. It's a very nice smoke I have to say. It doesn't have the sweetness of the Onyx Reserve but certainly a smoke I'd enjoy again. It lasted me 45 minutes and had perfect draw, burn and construction. As usual I hardly ever let it sit in the tray and oversmoked it but it never got harsh, hot or bitter. I have taken to use my punch cutter and I think it's a great improvement as I no longer have strips of the head cap sticking to my lips or falling off. It's especially useful with a short filler smoke as it doesn't allow the filler to find its way into my mouth. Now I'm looking foward to trying the rest of my sampler.
