Weird Ash

txjayhawk

I was enjoying my Gurkha Blue Stee last night and noticed the ash doing something very odd. The ash looked like a banana that was peeled and had the little strings coming off it. The "ash strings" worried me since I have had 3 before and they were all perfectly fine. Just didnt know if anyone else had this. Wanted to find out if there is a problem with my cabinet, too.

I'm assuming the strings were a vein. If it is just this one, I wouldn't worry about it. It shouldn't be a problem with your humidor. Others with more experience should help a little more.

Very freaky...it was just a weird night all around...had to chase a snarling opossum away from the dogs and try to enjoy my banana cigar. They have been resting for a little over a month...may let them go another few weeks before I revisit them.

I've had the same thing happen a time or two. Once was a 5 Vegas Classic, which I love. It didn't concern me at the time or now for that matter. Was the cigar good otherwise ?

Cigar was great! I love the blue steel. Wish I could find a bundle of them and not just a mazo of 15.

I've had a few Blue Steel, when they first came out last year I bought a couple 5 packs. Smoked a bunch and passed some off in games here. One of my favorite Gurkhas though, is the low priced Symphony, try that one if you get a chance.

I think I have one in the box...any thoughts on how long to rest it before I fire it up?

The ones I've smoked each had ( sorry to say) at least six months on them. That is the starting point for my experience with them. But, they were good enough that I would even try them right out of the mailbox.

txjayhawk

fair enough...I have some empire's coming in probably tomorrow...I cant wait to try those.

No worries on the ash.Don't over think cigar smoking. LOL
