What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025
That's a damn shame. I was a big fan of the Panatelas, Palmas and Londreses. I might occasionally buy a 4000 or whatever the Belicoso size is, but it'll be rare. About as rare as when I spring for a 1926, which might be once a year. I miss the days when Padron was a budget-friendly cigar...- danimalia

I think they're just overfilled. The foot is tight on most of them. A shame, because the food ones are the bomb. Warped Don Reynaldo. Good cigar, a bit too expensive for what is essentially a shorter corona gorda- danimalia

What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025
You dick 😂. I'm jealous I never got to try that one. I guess I just assumed it would always be around. A global brand, a still (relatively, at least) popular size, and a cigar with some legacy behind it (even if we've all been reminded it was a different Upmann JFK loved). Then, out of nowhere...- danimalia

What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025
Crux Epicure. I never would have guessed this was a CT seed wrapper because of the initial blast of pepper. It seems down into something more mediumish... Very creamy, some baking spices, brioche, perfect construction. I had the Serie du Connoisseur No. 1 the other day, and liked that quite a...- danimalia

What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025
It's been a few years since I had one, but I used to get the standard release Cosacos fairly regularly because they were a perfect second cigar/desert cigar. You hear cigars referred to as chocolate bombs, but in my experience, that usually comes across more like unsweetened cocoa. But those...- danimalia

House Cigar Salomon from Habana Tijuana. I finally found a cigar lounge that stays open later than a bank. I can't vouch for their Habanos (the prices were a bit suspiciously on the low side), but this Mexican puro is excellent. I think it's made by Casa Turrent, but will double check.- danimalia

EPC Encore Black. Good smoke so far, but my tastes usually favor Habano-seed wrappers over Broadleaf, so no surprise that I would not rank this at the same level as the standard Encores, which are amazing.- danimalia

Tatuaje Selection del Cazador Double Corona. Wish I'd gotten the box date on this one. Feel like this line has been a bit up and down the past couple years, but this one is fantastic.- danimalia

What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025
Won't help you much if you're in a cigar lounge that doesn't have any handy, but you can buy or make your own glue and repair those. Just take some pectin, add water until it's mixed into a glue consistency, you can use a little brush or even a toothpick to glue the wrapper back in place. Give...- danimalia

La Galera 1936 Box Press. I don't understand why La Galera doesn't get more love. Really nice cigars at a super nice price point. I prefer the Habano and 1936 lines, but the Maduro and Connecticuts are also solid. If you've had other cigars made Jochy Blanco and like that toffee/caramel flavor...- danimalia

***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***
Some Blairgowrie (the GLP/C&D repro) in a Peterson Newgrange 107. This Blairgowrie is THE good dope. Such a creamy, full-bodied Latakia blend, so well-balanced with the component leaves each contributing, without any being overly dominant.- danimalia

Anyone Play Video Games?
After (sort of) figuring out and finishingBaldur's Gate 3, I've been playing a whimsical little platformer/Zelda clone called The Plucky Squire, but my next games will be either the new Dragon Age or Black Myth: Wukong.- danimalia

Anyone Play Video Games?
I was disappointed with MSG5 largely because the falling out between Kojima and Konami basically left the game incomplete. Which is a shame, because the gameplay is quite good, and the theme of language as a form of colonization and cultural genocide are interesting. Also Kojima's star-f*!%ing...- danimalia

What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025
I actually love that Aladino released with some more traditional, thinner sizes. To me the Honduran corojo used in the Aladino and Eiroa brands is the closest thing to Cuban Partagas type flavors. Smoking a Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco. A very nice expression of the Mexican wrapper...- danimalia

Jaime Garcia Successor Torpedo. These came in two sizes. This one has a Habano seed wrapper and there is a Toro Gordo (6x56) with a Sumatra seed wrapper. I've enjoyed both quite a bit.- danimalia

California is Scary
Didn't one shit on your baby or something a few years ago? I work in social services at a homeless encampment, and unfortunately, there is a rat problem. We're thinking about bringing in exterminators. And by exterminators, I mean establishing a small feral cat colony (spayed/neutered, of...- danimalia

What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025
The regular Flor de Olivas with the Sumatra wrappers have sweetened caps from what I remember, which was many years ago. . Which is not the worst thing in the world, but it really upsets me when they don't make it clear to the consumer. They used to make a corojo version without the sweetened...- danimalia
