What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

[BronzeAgePiper]

illusione Original Documents Corojo

Nice dark corojo rosado wrapper but I think the dark red cherry sweetness and coffee notes sorta blocked my favorite attributes of the corojo during the first third. Came off muddled for me.

Now thankfully that ends in the second third allowing the Corojo to do some talkin where this blend has evened out with a nice sweet carmelized, creamy nuttiness powering through the earlier darker flavor spectrum.

Good cigar but I think I like the Warped KJG I smoked last night much more, with its Dominican Corojo so sparkly and alive on the palate with a lovely coated mouthfeel and flavors you get from munching on walnuts. Some seriously nice leather in there too. This cigar just danced on my palate with a glass of Michters.

Reached deep in the recesses of the megador…

Came up with this 2001 Flor De A. Allones Hand Made.

First half is a spicy, sweet flavor bomb right from the get go. Notes of oak, cedar, leather, citrus, caramel, black pepper, sweetened chocolate, dark red fruit. As I get into the second half, it gets a little more peppery, sort of a Ligero kick to it.

In the last 1/3rd it gets more caramelish, white pepper, the fruity sweetness is a layer on top of the rest.

Good smoke…

Going to wrap up tonight with another HC Maduro. They burn inconsistently, go out too often, and are a weird size that doesn’t fit either of my humidors well… but they do taste quite nice.

Crowned Heads Mil Días "Marranitos"


6 X 48
Ecuadorian Sumatra over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Peru

Released in April '23, I blind-bought a 12-box in April of '24.

A year of box time plus 3 months in my humi should be enough. I smoked one last night and it was awful. With some trepidation I decided to smoke one today...

And... very, very good. Here's hoping the remaining 10 are more like today's than last night's!


Also smoked my last My Father "Promesa" Petit after dinner. Definately the best showing from the 6 I bought back in February.

Well I just blind bought a box of mil dias belicosos finos le 2023 for $69, couldn’t pass it up. Hoping they’re some good ones in there, people seem to rave about them, maybe the Maduro rather idk.

Ooh, hope it's tasty. I've got a 21 year I am saving for a special occasion.

Currently smoking a Tabernacle, I am enjoying it, but wish it had a touch more sweetness, I'm getting just a lot of earthy notes.

They're decent - I got a five pack for a good price in a private sale. The blend definitely shares some tobacco with the Fuente Opus, but the ESG is much more subtle and subdued.

Ah, okay. I kind of figured it was a stick I would really need to concentrate on. I've never tried an Opus either, I have two squirreled away for a special occasion also.
