Looks like an Opus X Double Corona, I believe I paid the same ~$20 for the two I had.

I haven't smoked too many Opus X, they aren't my thing, but I loved the double corona.

Hopefully you have the same experience.

Can somebody explain to this noob what NC means?

Example: "Show your latest NC purchase".

New Cigars?

NC= Non Cuban

Here is a thread with a list of some common acronyms.

Haha Oh man, I feel dumb because I just got that application for my Iphone that has my humidor inventory saved and you have to select Cuban or Non-Cuban. Didn't put it together.

Thanks for the insight.

No worries Shane...it stumped me for a bit when I first got on the forums too. The acronym thread Dom linked is really useful for all the forum/cigar jargon we ramble on about :-)

Lol, it took me a while to know what this meant at first too. I thought it was Nicotine cigars when I first started smoking. :-)

When I first saw "NC" I thought it meant "No Charge" -- and I thought, Great! :-)

Lay the cutter flat and cut, make sure you cut swiftly with enough force. For me if I cut too slow it will not cut perfectly. What kind of cutter do you have?

You can also click on the small scale image on the bottom left of one of your own posts to see your rep number. FYI

I would recommend investing in a good cutter if you are serious about this hobby. You will save many cigars from being destroyed by a cheap blade.

I have 3 Palio's and love them all. The oldest has been cutting cigars to perfection for 4 years. http://www.cigarmony.com/palio.aspx

the one i've got in there isn't calibrated, but with my 65% i've got a reading of 70% so i figured it couldnt be TOO inaccurate. but regardless what stumped me is that even if the pack does run low and gives me, say 60%, i figured my sticks could get a little more humid than they are. unless 60% is far too low
