What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

[BronzeAgePiper]

Dropped this guy on the concrete causing the binder to bulge out of the wrapper at the foot, and soakin up a touch of pool water. Almost chucked it but remembered I’m still a redneck at heart so I smoked it and it’s truckin along just fine. It’s so humid out anyways I’m just goin through the motions.

Just finished the Davidoff. We’re heading inside. Susan is going to take a bath. My Pipe Force Episode II tins arrived today, so I’ll probably light up a pipe.

Episode 2 makes for quite a change of pace from that Davidoff!

 

[Speak Easy]

I have David and Goliath sitting in my humidor right now, almost smoked one this morning. Like it a lot?

I did. My brother gave me that one. Thinking I'm probably gonna have to get some for my own now.

J.C. Newman El Baton. So far so good on this one!
Edit to say I’ll be looking for a smaller ring gauge of this stick. I really enjoyed that one. But it is a little larger than I prefer.

Finishing up the weekend with a Mi Querida. Very pleasant!

Just lit up this Oliva Series O, much less muggy out than yesterday morning.

My brother, not a cigar smoker, bought me a handful of different cigars for my birthday. The best of the lot was an Oliva O. It was a great cigar. The Acid not so much. He said the Acid was highly recommended by the cute girl behind the counter at the smoke shop. We had a good chuckle over it.

Another cigar today: Drew Estate Factory Smokes Maduro

So far all my sticks have been quite good.

Going to start my 5th one today. (woo! a 5th on a Sunday! wait...)

I've only had one that I would classify as other than very good, and that was just "good". I got spoiled because the very first one was *amazing*. On the whole, I would very very highly recommend this line to anyone who likes Maduro's and has a budget to mind

Punch Pita EMS tonight

 

[rsshreck32]

Well that Punch cigar was a dud. Seriously bad draw issues, chucked it over the hill. I'll try another one sometime. Gonna give a cheapo Factory Smokes Sun Grown a try.

 

[ThomasS]

Oof, bad luck on the Punch. But Factory Smokes are the bomb!

I am curious about the Acid cigars. A few friends have raved about them so I was excited to try It. The one my brother bought me was my first and only. It had a dark wrapper and smelled like heavy perfume. There was a coating on the wrapper that tasted of perfume and burned my lips and left a horrible taste on my lips and in my mouth. I gave it a go because my brother was present, but had to put it down after a minute. The descriptions of the Acid cigars on the online stores do not include anything resembling this abomination. I wish I could remember the specific cigar I tried but it escapes me. What did I get? Are all Acid cigars coated in perfume?

They are "infused." Kinda a love/ hate thing.

They make a mini version, the kind that comes 10 to a tin. One of my neighbors used to bring those over. We liked the red ones (Cameroon, if I remember correctly). If he brought a tin over right now I'm sure I'd smoke one or two, and probably still like them.

A different neighbor exclusively smokes the big (regular sized) "Kuba Kuba" with the blue label. I think they smell great. I will probably never smoke another one of those though

Getting ready to step out for some night air. Trying a Blackened M81 (6x52 Toro) for the first time with a Blackened (batch #145) smoked old fashioned. Been in a Blackened mood... losing daylight now, that's a plus. C'mon fall & winter. This guy does reviews better than me and he can be funny at times.View attachment 319248

Thanks for that!
Had that CD a long time ago. Think I'll give it a listen tomorrow. 2020 version was fun to watch

Goodbye short vacation, smoked a Davidoff Petit belicosa on the way out. About a year of humi time

A black bear ran across the gravel road in front of us not 2 minutes after leaving.

Black Label Madonna Negra once home. I really like these. 10 year anniversary cigar released July '23.

Micallef "a" after dinner.

I thought these were Nicaraguan puros, but I was sure I tasted Dominican leaf- looked it up and wouldncha know they're Nicaraguan and Dominican filled.

I was quite pleased with myself.

There is no doubt that you are the only people who might possibly give a rip about this.

How much better was the Belicoso after a year, I’ve always been curious if they can even get that much better as they’re already so good and I have a hard enough time keeping them longer than a month.

Also man, $186 for a box of 50 on those “A’s” Now would be the time to pull the trigger on those if you like them. I’d almost blind buy a cab but I fear the pepper might be too much for me.

They do smell good, but it’s not an aroma that I appreciate in a cigar. It’s like, I love the smell of roasting chicken, but not in a pipe tobacco.

Just lit up this Fuente 8-5-8, natural wrapper I think. Pretty good, finally got a nice day after the heat last week.

Gotta say, think I enjoyed the Fuente 8-5-8 Natural I smoked today over that Oliva O I smoked yesterday. They are both similar in price but I feel the Fuente has better body and I like the flavor more.

I wouldn’t buy a box of either though.
