What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

[Rockyrepose]

Last night's smoke, The Upsetters. I've always been curious about this cigar. Now I can move on.


Tonight it's a Plasencia Alma Del Fuego.

Serie G with some Haitian coffee

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

Aladino Santi. A dead ringer for the old pre-Davidoff Camacho Corojo. Going to have to buy a couple boxes. At 3 years since purchase, this thing was remarkable - incredibly complex profile and a swift kick o nicotine to boot.

No pic because we're watching a lightning storm roll by. Venus peeking out and fairly hazy above us, but Leoma, Tennessee is getting rained upon hard a few miles down the road.

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

Just lit a Fuente Magnum 44 Rosado Sungrown, opened up the forum and saw this. Damn...

Quality tobacco, for sure. I've got an Aladino Corojo Reserva for later if the rain holds off.

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.

Eightish year old Liga Privada No9. Last of a box I bought long ago.

A night of firsts, and both are great. DTT Mi Querida and Dewar’s Japanese Smooth whisky. My weekend is starting out to be lovely! I hope the same for y’all!

Looks like a Yin and Yang Box Pressed Candela. I like how the top and bottom graphics look like circuit board traces from electronics.

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?

It’s a Dewar’s blend finished in Japanese oak barrels. It’s got a little smoke, wood, and is indeed smooth. $28 doesn't seem out of line for a nice whisky. A friend told me about it and I tried it.
