Big chillin on the hottest day of the year so far me thinks (1 degrees shy of 90). Smoke is dry cacao followed by espresso with a lemon wedge then off to a sweet dry cedar finish. Closest I’ve come to falling in love with an Ecuadorian maduro wrapper I believe, still much prefer San Andres or PA broadleaf. 80min smoke, not bad for a petite corona.

Now having a Bahia Maduro Corona Gigante/Churchill (7.0" x 54) on the porch. Wasabi is happy to be outside.

Earlier, I clipped some maple saplings that were growing by a bush where several birdies hang out next to the house. It’s 82⁰ and I’m sweating just sitting here with my cigar and tea. Thankfully, there’s a nice breeze. Susan expected to just relax on the porch and do nothing, but after seeing the pile of clipped branches I made, she decided to clip and bag them.

@TheIronMonkey Be interested to hear your opinion on that stick. Been thinking of giving them a try.

This RP Dark Dominion is progressing nicely and has some good flavor to it. Think it will definitely get better with some rest.5B8FB4BB-0567-4E5C-9777-0601D1FC164A.jpeg

I like the Bahia Maduro. It has a pungent aroma—you can detect a hint of ammonia if your nose is right by the smoke. In terms of flavour, there’s a sweetness, a hint of cedar woodiness (mixed with unsweetened cocoa). It’s not a complex smoke, but twenty sticks of this size and gauge for under seventy bucks, they’re nice smokes for taking strolls and not worrying about breaking the bank.

Thanks for the info! Give Wasabi a pat on the head for me 😁

I just finished smoking my #1 cigar from 2019 a Bespoke Super Belicoso. It's a shame as now I only have one left and they are no longer made! Not as intense or flavorful as they once were but still a stellar smoke. Soon I'll have to decide what will replace it as my #1.

BH Fumas Maduro Corona. Due to the construction being not great I decided to punch this one. That’s definitely helped. So far these have stayed consistent with flavor. Right at a 1hr smoke. Pretty happy with them so far!

I've smoked through several bundles of these over the last few years. Nice BH flavor and one of the finer constructed short filler sticks out there. I used to take them to work often and smoke them at lunch. 👍
