What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

My Father Le Bijou 1922

Man, I'm just finishing a box of 24 Box Press Torpedoes & most of them are canoe jobs. I mean, it seems there's roots, branches & whatever packed on one side of them. I was offered a rebate on them after a half dozen, but I just couldn't believe that 3/4 of a box of not so cheap cigars were unsmokeable. The ones that burned correctly were pretty close to heaven, though.

Anyway, smoked one of these last night & loved it R y J by AJ Fernandez

That has been my experience with My Father as well. Their quality control is very sub-par. The tobacco they use is very good though.

That is why I smoke My Father less often

I probably wouldn't ever have if I didn't receive an excellent one in a bonus sampler. I waited about a year until they were on sale to buy a box. Maybe that was my mistake.

601 Green Label Oscuro. I was not sure if I had a N-Bomb cigar at the bottom of the humidor, but I wanted one, searched for it and glad that I found one

This has been a handsome little fella. You know when you get the wiggle butts over how something tastes good? I got the wiggle butts with this.

Prensado with about 4.5 years of age. Age has been nice to this cigar. I don't remember it being this good.

I get the occasional wonky burn, but I've never had a MF canoe on me, that sucks.

Your posts always make me extremely jealous and eager to try more Cuban cigars. The LCdH here in Tijuana has a very good selection, of course, and is plenty nice, but their hours are wack. They close at 7 pm, and aren't open on Sundays at all. If anyone knows any other good spots for Habanos in Tijuana, Rosarito, Tecate, Ensenada, etc., let me know. Nothing else listed on the HSA website. Yeah, I know I can buy online, but I am more of a mix and match guy these days.

Now smoking one of my favorite cigars of 2022, Olmec Claro with some Mexican coffee from Veracruz

Tatuaje Gran Cojonu Series A. Meh. Not much flavor and a whole buttload of nicotine. I had lots of trouble getting the wrapper to burn right, which is in line with other ligero-wrapped cigars I've had before. As I'm working my way through old Tatuaje, this is the first i've had that I would not purchase again.

CAO Ape Hanger Maduro. Love this flathead series.

Monte 3 to start the day, burning through the random singles.

Viaje Honey & Hand Grenades Katana. Ok this one really does have a cap on the foot like a weird backwards torpedo.
