What Did You Smoke Today? Cigars.

Went fishing with my 3 boys today. A little breezy so I chose to bring a couple cigars instead of my pipe.

Erin Go Bragh - Good, but I should have punched rather than clipped.

Caught up with a friend while holidaying on Bali. Found these two Dos Hermanos Indonesian cigars in the local corner store. A very enjoyable cigar for the money.

Interesting! Indonesian leaf, and especially Indonesian seed leaf grown in Ecuador, is used on some of the best and most beloved cigars in the world. Always wondered if there was much of a cigar industry in Indonesia itself, or Indonesian puros. Great find!

Back when I was first smoking cigars and Don Pepin Garcia had become all the rage, this was my favorite cigar. He made the 601s at the time.They had a Cubanesque flavor with Nicaraguan spice, and always burned very well. I sort of forgot about them for a while, but when they made the CA list the year before last I tried a couple again and thought they were still excellent. Nice value too! What did you think?

Gurkha Chairman's Select Double Robusto - how strange...I picked up a five pack for fifteen dollars at a bid site. Didn't think much about it. I find for some odd reason I really like these. I have classier, more expensive cigars, but I like the feel, the draw, the taste and it just seems to "fit" my smoking style. Go figure.

I enjoyed it very much! The wrapper was peppery, spicy and the smoke was fantastic.

I don’t think there are many cigars sold in Indonesia itself, but most Dutch cigars use Indonesian leave as far as I know.

The Dutch cigars are mostly dryer short filler cigars. My favourite brand is Justus Van Maurik. I used to share a box of their after dinner cigars with friends on a night out.

Rocky Patel 1990 Second, nice smoke, later a Bayamo, my affordable cigar.

A HUGE (10 inch plus) JR Alternative Maduro Churchill. This got added to my cart sort of automatically. Second time I am trying to smoke this. First time it was so bad, I had to throw it away after smoking an inch or so
