What Cigar are You Smoking? - 2022

[AJL67]

On deck a 2017 talisman. Before these were released i was at a private herf and Ajay was there, he brought one of these but the prerelease version, as many people know the prerelease is to generate buzz and is almost never like the actual production run, rolled with the best tobacco and utmost care on the thighs of virgins, it was one of the best cigars i ever smoked, this will be the 2nd time I’ve ever smoked one and this is production so my hopes aren’t that high to relive the moment but we’ll find out in a bit.

I don’t think there is a more consistent brand in the entire cigar ecosystem, now that i say that it would be a toss up between them and Davidoff but Davis tend to be smoked by a smaller segment of the market.

THE BEST sub $8 cigar! Smoke one almost daily!

HVC Pan Caliente robusto. Starts out with pepper and spice, then settles in to nice medium full body. Good cigar, but I think a bit too much spice for me love. I like a little sweeter and richer.

Having an Hoyo de Monterrey ICON (5.5" x 49) while the puppy waits for Mama to come back with the next whisky pour—which apparently is the Maker's Mark Bourbon Street Wine & Spirits Barrel #9 10 Stave Private Selection (oak stave profile listed on label), 109 Proof.

Had an Espinosa Warzone earlier. Liked last year's version an awful lot, but didn't think this one was as good. Now smoking an Omar Ortez Original, which I finally got a 10 pack of to satisfy my curiousity. It is a pretty solid smoke for such a budget price, and they have way more complexity than I'd expect for $3, but they are consistently very earthy, like straddling the line between earthy and outright bitter at times, so if earthy Nicaraguans aren't your thing, I wouldn't recommend it. That said, it also has some sweetness and even a touch of a floral note early on. Kind of reminds me of the 601 La Bombas I bought a bundle of a year or two ago.

Having an Ave Maria Argentum Double Robusto (5.5" x 54). Superman came to visit us.

Caldwell AJ Booth The T. Habano Quicke, a nice short "just got home from work" relaxing smoke. It's in my wheelhouse big time so far.
