What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025
- Thread starter TheIronMonkey
- Start date
Hemingway Work of Art natty for the last smoke of the day. 
Tatuaje Nuevitas Jibaro on the way home - no picture because I was driving! It would have been a wonderful cigar, but for being bunched all lopsided with a void along one side.
Had a nice stogie (CAO Flathead) and drink before dinner. One way to get the appetite going. :P
I lit this Illusione Allegria and immediately had to set it down to go take sh#t. Currently posting from the throne.
Well, hopefully you wash your hands before you eat that chocolate. Or at least use 2 ply. If not one of those two (and hopefully both) certainly don't lick your fingers afterward. Never know what's what. Caveats aside, enjoy! :P Illusione makes some great smokes. And tobacco and chocolate and coffee are all great pals to have around. Get along so well. As the song goes, "so happy...together..."
The Carillo Stella met its demise on the way home
Snow squall popped up quick so we made a few extra stops in town before heading out. By that time everything was clear again

I still can't believe that my beloved Glenfarclas 12 is now ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS a bottle. The world has gone insane.
Not the world, my friend, just the tax legislators in certain parts of it. My source in Denmark has that listed at $42.85 currently. Shipping overseas is best when you get at least 3 bottles at a time which brings it up about $15/bottle. This is how i built my extensive collection of single malts. Because some of them are 1/2, some are 1/3 the price of local shelves. As a contractor i've always worked to keep my costs low, this extends quite naturally from my professional to personal life. Cheers!
Flying Pig and some gas station Colombian to start Thursday morning.
Picked up some of these Exquisito Maduros because of @BenMN. Pretty impressive little smoke!
Glad you like 'em!
I bought some Fernandez Last Call Maduros. These are the stumpy 3.5 X 50 (I think...) size
I got a fiver of those once. I thought they were pretty good.
Beautiful day to be out working around the yard. Also makes it cigar time. Firing up the chainsaw and doing some trimming of brush/limbds around the 500 lineal foot driveway while the leaves are off the deciduous trees and i can see what the heck i'm doing. It's a chore. But this La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte will help keep me motivated.
Yeah they seem Ok. I grabbed a bunch so we'll see how they settle in. Always on the hunt for decent short smokes. My buddy used to bring over the standard Habano ones, the "Geniales" that are 4.5 X 48. Those are alright too.
I picked up two CAO Amazon Basin today from the latest release. This one is from a 2016 box I have smoked through. I'm going to smoke a new one tomorrow.
Diesel Vintage Maduro. After 4 months in the humidor, still too strong for me. I’m not sure what it is, but it chokes me out. I like the flavors, but spice in the throat kills me. I like bold stuff but this one, not sure…it’s very sharp. Quality is great, but might just be a few components that don’t agree with me. 
I’ve been taking a break, since I bit my tongue pretty severely in my sleep Saturday night and tobacco smoke irritated it more. This evening I tried a CAO Gold robusto.
I’ve had 2 CAO cigars before, and didn’t enjoy either one, but this was very nice: pleasant aroma and flavor, especially when smoked slowly. I’d smoke another someday.

Don Carlos No.4 natural to get Fuente Friday started. Have a great day, y’all!
