What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

Davidoff "Churchill" Petit Panatela

Lovely little smoke with about a year of humi time. As I dug this out I realized there is only 1 left after this

*about a 40 minute smoke

Another unintentionally aged cigar. Here's an original release Alec Bradley Post Embargo robusto that I bought from a place called Cigars Cigars, in 2015, here in PA. It's held up well over the past nine years. It tastes exactly the way I remember, woody Nutella, with a hint of mushroom, and a tiny bit of pepper. The burn is razor sharp now that I'm well into the first 3rd. This one was stored in my big cooler, in an old cigar box along side other mixed singles, in the cello, with 65 percent Bovedas.

Well, that was enjoyable!
Why didn’t I secret away an entire box of these?

You sir have put me in the mood for one of these. I have a few, but must wait for Friday

Cavelier WompWomp series. Flavor was nice first third, honey bright delite but was rapidly vanishing before my eyes. Almost 2” in ten minutes. Slowed down once the final third approached but the flavor became dull, bitter and dreary. Do you smoke gold bro? I think I’ll pass.

Again back home free from my weekend trip to our neighboring country Sweden, among other things, I managed to get my beloved Italian Toscanis ( $ 10 per 5 pack )which I'm smoking right now, I visited one of the oldest existing tobacco specialist shop in the very central area of Stockholm, Brobers Sverige, worth visiting if you are going

Love them! Which ones did you get?

Tried a small CAO MX2 today with a friend at lunch. Smoked much slower than I thought it would.

Now smoking: Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic

In the morning I smoked Monte Christo

After 2 underwhelming cigars in recent days (The Griffin’s and Plasencia 149), I went with an old reliable today: Arturo Fuente Curly Head Natural Deluxe. It was the first cigar I ever bought, along with an RyJ Reserva Real. Unfortunately I smoked the RyJ first and was also underwhelmed. A few weeks later I tried the AF, and loved the flavor and aroma. I have many higher quality and pricier cigars, but the Curly Head is my comfort food cigar.

I went through my display humidor and found three more! I may have more in the the giant Capano-sized Igloodor, but that’s buried under the Cigarbid/Cigarpage binge from three years ago. I don’t think I’ve bought any cigars since then, and probably won’t for several years to come. I kinda over did it!

I like reading posts like this here. Sounds like a great smoke.

Nice to have an old reliable. I'm still looking for mine...

My Fathe "La Opulencia" Petit

5.5 X 48
Mexican Rosado Oscuro over Nicaraguan Corojo, Criollo, and Habano.

So back in winter I decided to take a tour of My Father's smaller format offerings: La Duena, Opulencia, Promesa, Bijou...

I smoked a few already, but it's only now with 3+ months of rest that I think I can (somewhat) fairly evaluate them.

This was Ok, but I preferred yesterday's La Promesa.

*about a 75 minute smoke time.

Love them! Which ones did you get?

standard ones ,with no added flavourings

Ok - the Classicos. It's just the ammazzatos that have flavours. I like the Extravecchios as well.

I think I like the Judge more than all those you mentioned. I know a lot of people love La Duena but it doesn’t do much for me, or the Bijou at all really.

Earlier I smoked Villiger Villa Dominicana

Thanks for that info, I'll keep The Judge in mind if I can't find a winner in what I've got!

Black Label "NBK" Robusto

I do really like both sizes of these: Robusto and what they call a Corona Larga

Lamb's Club Cubano Toro. Not really impressed with it, flavors are kind of muddy with an odd (off) vegetal note. I'm about 2 inches in and it is about to go out the backdoor.

Paul Stulac White Blinding Light. Very nice full flavored smoke.
