    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    Slightly less humble smoking situation tonight. HdM Escogidos and and a coffee at Cigar Point, which is a very nice cigar and whiskey joint here in CDMX

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    Originally meant to come to CDMX when my Giants were playing the Padres here, but by the time I booked my trip, the games were sold out. Went to a Mexican League game at the ballpark they played at, and it's a really nice park, the ticket was cheap and the food beats the shit out of the options...

    So what is the Dewar's Japanese? Is like regular Dewars manufactured in Japan or Dewars attempting to make a Japanese style whiskey or something else? Casa Turrent 1942 with some espresso from a Venezuelan cafe by my hotel

    Casa Turrent 1880 Oscuro at the, well, Casa Turrent, with some espresso. I was expecting a bigger selection, including Habanos, but I'm enjoying the cigar and the service and locating is beautiful.

    The Aladino line has become such a big hit. And so much better than current Camachos, IMO. The Corojo tobaccos used in Aladinos remind me a bit of a Cuban Partagas. The Aladino Vintage Selection offshoot is good too, and so are the ones with the Honduran Cameron wrappers

    Illusione 68 with some coffee served by an older lady from a stockpot on the corner. I think it's Cafe de Olla and I don't care for it. Cigar is good and so is the park across from my hotel in Mexico City

    Mexico City Recommendations

    Leaving tonight for 5 days in old Tenochtitlan and was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for pipe or cigar shops, places to smoke, etc. in Mexico City? Also happy for any restaurant or site recommendations!

    Fuente Opus X and some coffee from Chiapas, MX. I'm not sure if this is a regular production size or not. It was in the CRA Sampler. It's 6x56, I think. A bit thicker than I prefer, but it is absolutely fantastic. The best Opus I have had in a while. If I could guarantee they'd all be this...

    That second photo makes it look like he's picking one out from his humidor. "Hmmm, made by Fuente, Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, Dominican guts... A fine choice for a day on the porch. "

    LFD Andalusian Bull with some Oaxacan coffee. The new Solis is better if we're talking LFD's with Habano-seed wrappers, and the Coronados are the best.... But the Bulls really are works of art with shape, wrapper and band all contributing to such an attractive package. I wish they tasted a...

    OneOff Allegre Churchill. Love this newish line from Illusione.

    What's so depressing about the Upmann PC thing is that Habanos does smaller cigars so well. Like, I had a Rafael Gonzales perla a month or so ago, and it was fantastic and by all accounts has become a bit of a minor hit due to its quality and value... I just don't understand why they can't...

    Oliva Melanio. It's the round figurado from the CRA pack.

    Some nice smokes there. I was really impressed with the Pichardos when they first came out. I haven't seen them in stores here in SD, so I might have to place a Page order too 😅

    Holy hot damn.... I wonder how many of those still exist in the wild? They were before my time, unfortunately, so like the Partagas SdC, I'll just have to live vicariously through those that have had the chance to enjoy them

    LFD Solis with some Mexican espresso. I wanted to smoke this after smoking the Coronado since I thought both had Nicaraguan wrappers. I've since seen this one is actually Ecuadorian. It is quite good, but it lacks the snappy lemongrass element I love in the Coronado. In some ways it is like an...

    Burley Recommendation

    C&D's Dark Burley is so amazing and I've never smoked it on its own. Might have to snag a few ounces next time I place an order.

    Burley Recommendation

    Good call on the Barbary Coast! It has some sweetness, and offers some of that C&D Burley strength, though not as much as, like, OJK, Haunted Bookshop or Burley Flakes 1 or 3. If consider it to be a good after dinner smoke
