What Cigar are You Smoking? - 2022

A 'top shelfer' for tonight's walk & fetch with the canine, lucky for me he's not picky with tennis balls, so what I save there I put towards sticks here

Padron FR 46 Maduro

Something about smoking in crispy 20 degrees Fahrenheit makes it taste better!

Man I love these. Tatuaje T110 Capa Especial.

Beautiful cigar on a beautiful afternoon, sunny, cool.?

Watching my 401K evaporate. Just lit a Sobremesa to sooth my soul as I practice my future mantra.. "Welcome to WalMart, would you like fries with that?"

 

[Kilgore Trout]

^^^ WOW!!! That thing was absolutely magnificent.

CLE Connecticut 11/18

Big time hidden gem - very smooth and the apricot/honey notes remind me of the topping on Eso Tilbury. Box inbound.

Pichardo Clásico Natural ?? with some Ugandan espresso. ??

Southern Draw Manzanita I enjoyed over the weekend. This was a GOOD smoke.

Illusione f9



Haven't had one of these in a coon's age. Much more pepper in the beginning than I remember, but it is fresh off the truck. Passing the first centimeter and the subtle cherry note I remember is hiding deep in there.

With the prices of Habanos being what they are, I continue my exploration of boutique NC brands to see what I've been missing for the last decade. Up today is a CLE Habano. Started out mild as a ho-hum Honduran, but once the pecan flavor woke up, the whole stick came to life. Very nice, but I expect a decent nicotine kick. We shall see.

Fuente Don Arturo robusto



The various releases of the Don Arturo are the best Fuente cigars ever released, IMO.

Been meaning to try that one. I really liked the Ladykiller, and Jacob's Ladder is one of my favorite maduros.

Smoking a Plasencia Alma Fuerte. First time with this one, and I like it a lot. Unfortunately, it's a bit pricey at my local shop, so not sure how often I'll be able to revisit it.

Cuban Diplomat (by AJ Fernandez, made for Cigar King). Really good cigar. Medium full, with nice shifts as it progresses.

A small Toscano cigar, a "Toscanello" of the "Nero" series. They are supposed to be dipped in real chocolate.
Good day good people.

Man, you are the guy smoking the latest boutique brands, week after week. You must have a great B&M nearby.

Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Machito. Found the perfect stand-in for my beloved Habanos Minutos.

After lunch an R&J Cazadores '09.
This cigar has always been the "impetuous son" of this brand, a brand known and loved by many for its sweetness and sweet aromas, with contained strength.
Although those produced before 2005 were stronger, spicy, impetuous and unpredictable, even the recent ones retain certain edges, roughness, rustic and masculine aromas with growing strength.
In my opinion always a valid cigar.
