What’s Your Favorite Cigar?


Recommended Posts

Guessing there aren't all that many cigar smokers at neowin LOL

 

considering how little i smoke,   i buy those instead now. Still got the same taste (OK, maybe not exactly, but still, i like the nicaraguan tobacco better then others for some reason - cannot exactly say why, it just tastes better to me), and do be honest, it is more then enough for me as you can smoke it for 10 minutes and move on.

Using the skill and craftsmanship that is expected of a Davidoff cigar, we’ve combined all of the luxury of Davidoff Nicaraguan cigars into a mini cigarillo format. This is the perfect size cigar for those days when you are short on time but still want to enjoy a quality smoke. These hand rolled, cigarillos are medium to full bodied and full of flavor throughout its 15 minute smoking time.

I quit smoking when my son was born in 2007, but will occasionally have a cigar when I go to Vegas (about once a year normally) to make people leave me alone when I am on strip. The last time I went, I bought a Cuban, but usually I buy on recommendation. So far, I have not been let down. I think the last one I remember having was a Gran Habano #5 Corojo. I remember buying Swisher Sweets when I was younger and man, I wish I could forget those.

This is a great cigar. It's made by Nelson Placensia. It is absolutely great. You can find it at Cigars International.

While I will not be making it that way this year due to the pandemic, I have plans around April for my next trip. I will definitely try this on on that trip.

When I can find them at the local shop, I really like the Gurkha Black Dragon.  Was actually introduced to that cigar in a book series, Shayne Silvers' "TempleVerse" books.  Very nice cigar.  I usually get my cigars in bulk from JR Cigars, and their Nicaraguan Rejects/Overruns are pretty good.

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
