LG question

Lumberg:
...Finally, about the CLimaxx beads, I disagree. I use low-tox automotive antifreeze with great results and it is WAY cheaper than Climaxx! Yes it is made with PG (the regular stuff is Ethylene Glycol) and it's about $6 for A GALLON! That's just about a lifetime supply. And my humi has been at EXACTLY 70% since I started using it!...

Yes, it does seem that he is a complete tool...Thanks for the advice

I would not say that proposing a propylene glycol-based antifreeze as a humidity control system necessarily makes one a "tool."

It is certainly ill advised if one disregards the common sense concerns related to the other components in the anti-freeze. But as a conceptual study, it should certainly be expected to work.

Lumberg didn't always do his best to "get along" and that seemed to get in the way of the discourse around the issues and ideas he raised. I don't know him personally and perhaps that is what allows me to take a more dispassionate look at the things he said.

he wasn't a tool just because of that comment...i read some more stuff from him and he just seemed a little off...

Just my .02

Off? Let's be a bit more precise. In a number of instances, he was abrasive, arrogant, provocative, and pompous. I don't think there'd be many members who'd disagree. Yes, let's acknowledge the character of a man.

But I think it'd be at least a minor mistake to discount what a man says by how he says it.

There is some merit in dissociating the messenger from the message in certain cases. I don't know that this is the case with the majority of Lumberg's threads but generally it is an idea that bears occasional reminder.

PS. Don't mind me, I've been reading heavily these last few days and so I'm in academic mode.
 
I searched and can not find. What is the difference between the LG chisel and the LF Chisel?

The only thing I have found that taste in some ways like an Opus is Diamond Crown Max, and I did say in some ways.

At the risk of replying to the same thread 4x in a row... this I don't get. I've never noticed a taste similarity between the two. DCMs are much milder, and to me a very different blend.

I do but I have only smoked a couple of each, all very young. I guess this gives me an excuse to do a back to back one night soon. Thanks Andrew!

Lurch,
I apologize for jacking your thread.

Doc,
If you'd like to discuss this over the phone, please drop me a PM.

I really don't mind a thread jacking once in a while....

but I really am trying to find out about these cigars....i talked with a couple today at my lounge and they said that there were noticable likenesses between these two brands of cigars...

granted this couple was about 80 yrs. old but that in no way shape or form makes them incapable of tasting...they were just a cute old couple that held hands and smoked for about 2 hrs....

Cool.

So I guess the question is when are you going to go buy some, smoke 'em, and tell us what you think? :D

All of the cigars that Padron produces have somewhat similar taste profiles. If you're expecting the kind of taste range that some other vendors like Fuente offer in their cigars, then you'll be disappointed.

However the blend in the 1926 cigars is indeed different, and the tobacco is aged several years longer before it is rolled into cigars.

uummmm....i was talking about LGs vs. Opus, not Padrons....but thanks for the info anyways
 
My B&M told me the same thing last week when I picked up some Opus. Weird that multiple people have been told this by multiple b&m's..
 
Having only tried a few LG and a few more Opus, I did notice a prelight similarity of the wrapper aroma of the LG to the Opus once. Smoking them, they were different for sure. As many have said before me, you will have to find out for yourself though as tastes and preferences are different from person to person.
 
The woman at your B&M had one too many hits from her crack pipe in the back of the store. I have found the OPUS flavor profile to be totally unique and extraordinary. The LG cigars are also great, but NOTHING like an OPUS.
