because this was compared to the Mx2 on another thread that will be my next review. Its been a while since i have had one of those and its about time anyway.
Sounds fair. I like the Soprano too but it has no wow factor I agree, but neither does the MX-2 its just a good smoke. I'd almost be willing to bet the younger Mx-2 will rate better than this aged one you're about to smoke. I bet it mellows to the point of beginning to lose flavor.
True, very true. Not extremely oily but it has a little to it. I just think it doesn't have a lot of bite as is the time on it may mellow that out of it. IDK I look forward to the review though.
Not really new to cigars here, but rather new to consistantly smoking them and appreciating the flavor and depths of cigar smoking. I love the reviews Kuzi!
Anyway, I have a couple questions about your cutting and humidors.
You mention you use a punch and a guillotine.... What makes you decide what to use? Any figurado gets a guillotine and any regular tube cigar gets a punch? Do you have a preference why you use a punch? Do most us a punch vs. a gullotine?
2nd on the humidor. I am just getting to stocking up my humidor. I have just a standard humidor I got in a package from another cigar distributor a while back. It works well and currently holds all my smokes no problem. I think it is a 25-50 ct. humi. But after starting to stock up I will be quickly at mass capacity shortly and was wondering what all the newly experienced newbies were using to store there smokes.
If this is in the wrong thread and I should post in 101 vs. your review post let me know.
So for my smokes I just use a generic humidor - ahem - thompson - that I got many years ago with a bundle. so far it works just fine, keeping the humi fairly regulated between 70-75 RH. Not sure if that is ok for the time being. That being said do you just use standard humidors or have you upgraded to nicer ones? I see that you have a storage 'aging' humi and smoking humi at different RH. how do you keep them regulated and are they just off the rack humis?
nice review, kuzi. I found a 4 set, 1 of each of the sopranos and am eager to try them to see which one I like more. your review inspired me too! ;-) . The Mx2 sounds good as well though. Are there very many good cigars out there that have more coffee and coco as the more dominated flavor? Just curious as I'm always on the lookout..
