What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

[BronzeAgePiper]

One of my favs, in a Lancero, it’s a smooth creamy blast of Pad Thai flavored beef jerky with a tall glass of Yoo-hoo. Getting LP #9 vibes but it’s been years since I smoked one. Having a honey latte by the pool. Halfway into the cigar and I still haven’t figured out what music I want to put on, guess that’s when you know your smokin good.

Glad I bought a box of these

Having a Double Happiness Cazadores, 6.0" x 50 (from the Philippines) on the porch. Hanging out with our neighbour, Terry.

Having a Super-Premium 2nds Perfecto, 4.5" x 60 on the porch after a lunch consisting of pot stickers and stuffed grape leaves. Wasabi is relaxing now, but was barking at every little thing earlier.

Here's another old timer. Liga Undercrown Double Corona from around 2013. 1 hour in and I'm at the half-way point. It's been fantastic so far; smooth, sweet, creamy, milk chocolate, coffee, woody, occasional friut, and baking spice on the retro. I still prefer the corona viva, but this really held up well. This one came from the same box of random singles that contained the dud Papas Fritas. Go figure. Oh, and the smoke output is absurdly thick. Don't smoke this in a closed up room!

The electrician came by today to refresh his memory on the undertaking. We need to take inventory of the fixtures we have on hand and send him a list to make a more accurate estimate. Having a La Gloria Cubana Serie R Esteli No. 50, 7" x 50 on the porch. It’s 82⁰ right now.

Even though it's not even late ...

My buddy gave me 2 of these last year to make up for months of mooching. I smoked 1 with just a few months of box time- seriously underwhelmed.

Today's smoke, with about a year of humi time, had some real good moments, but was overall not great.

But what a nice evening out back

Earlier I smoked a Knockaround

Ready for tomorrow's drive home

Maybe I spoke too soon earlier- the first 2 were tight, but the next 3 have been good

Third cigar I ever bought:


I figured that 9 months in the tupperdor was long enough. The aroma was pleasant and the flavor was nice for the first third, but the draw was tighter than a floozy’s skirt, and the Perfecdraw couldn’t save it. After the first third, the flavor varied from bland to bitter. I had a feeling that it wouldn’t be very good, and was regretful because I could have had a better cigar. Next time!

Brick House Fumas Maduro Corona. These haven’t turned out to be the cheap gem I’d hoped they’d be, but they’re not terrible. Rather inconsistent in flavor and construction.

 

[BronzeAgePiper]

United Pencils Maduro, good flavor, just not enough of it, a bit too watered down by the 28 ring size. Might be good to keep bedside that way when I roll over in the middle of the night and I’m craving a cigar. However it still smoked for 45min.

I once bought a box of them and used one of those cheap sponge packets to infuse them with bourbon. I left it in there for about a week, took out the sponge and re-sealed for another week. All of a sudden I felt like the smoke was benching outside its weight class.

Yea, think I’m gonna try something like that!

Lol haven’t done that since I was around 16 ; me and a buddy would also soak our Cope with SoCo to dip and dry it out to stuff in our cobs. This was probably to blame for my nearly 20 year pipe smoking hiatus.

Indeed lol. Infusing is a fickle process!

Wasabi is patrolling the porch, making sure marauders stay away.
