What Cigar Are You Smoking, 2020?

[cshubhra]

Take a nap ? at the cigar lounge before driving home ?

I gotta say, I don't know if I'm made for "gordo" cigars. I just don't know if I can deal with 2+ hours of nic hit. This one tasted amazing but driving home after a nicotine fest like that is not the best experience in the world.

Went rummaging and found this OR Headley Grange. Seems like i have a couple left. Smoking wonderfully

Man Of War Ruination- My O my - What a beginning!

I avoid strong cigars with alcohol- let’s see if I can finish this one.

A nose tingling bouquet of pepper right from start! In fact my tongue is still on fire ?

I got a box of the Robusto #2 (gordos). I’m not sure how they compare to the #1s, but I like them.

Montecristo No 4.

I believe #1, #2 etc refers to the sizes. The taste would be very close, if not the same

Oh ok. I was wondering what the difference was. Thanks. The ones I bought are 6” x 60.

I like that size! Post how it works for you!

Oliva Connecticut, mild smoke, no punch, waiting on 1922 Petite Bajou, should be in the mail today, Odob I ordered a 5 pack of AJF San Lotano The Bull.

Curious to hear what you think. Not my favorite AJ Fernandez blend (that would be the Bellas Artes, I think) but in my opinion, he reliably produces an interesting, well-constructed cigar. Always worth trying.

I like them. I think they make a good everyday smoke if you have the time to smoke one.

Testing out different recipes with some new leaf that came in the mail this week. The wrapper is Brazillian Bahia from 2013. I'm finding it really nice to work with.

You rolled that? Looks amazing!

Thank you. Using a mold after bunching, and wrapping on stone, tile or steel rather than wood sure helps to make them pretty. The first goal is to get the draw right, though, which you ought to do freehand—'roll one, smoke one'. If you do that, the muscle memory builds up really quickly.

I hesitate to say because it was not the best blend. Kinda flat. Not nearly as complex as I predicted. Maybe it was my mouth and nose. I am still utterly confused about how to get cigars just right. I've had all of the ingredients work in different proportions mixed with different cigars. Maybe it was the Olor binder that leveled everything off.

Filler was 1 Cibao Valley Habano ligero, 1.5 Criollo 98 viso, 2 Pelo de Oro seco

I would imagine the Pelo de Oro takes the lead?

This is something I need to get into down the road. I've rolled plenty of "cigars" in my life, but not with quality tobacco filler. It's on the list.

Romeo y Julieta Churchill from a friend. Lovely.

HC Series Habano 2

Por Larranaga Monte Carlo. Hands down my fav cc for the money. Hardly ever disappoints, perfect size/shape. If i had the space for a master case or two of these, i would be all in

La Perla Habana, she’s cute,but not as beautiful as my girl on the Aroma d’ Cuba,but I’m not complaining.

I don’t know what he is having, but it gave him the strength he needed!
