What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

[Rockyrepose]

One of those lone wolves in your humi that makes you ask. Where'd this come from?

Getting down to the last few of these

The HUPC was a cigar I smoked 2-3 times per week, until its discontinuation was announced. Now, it is a rare treat and as I watch their progression as they age, I wish I would have put up twice as many boxes when the discontinuation was announced. Alas.

What you describe about your Don Alejandro was sadly all too typical for Cuban cigars, especially the larger format. I wonder if looking at the bunching at the foot would foretell how the cigar smokes. For example, I'm working through a 50 cab of RASS and while they all burn, many burn lopsided due to voids in the filler or the filler being bunched to be denser on one side versus the other. I can look at the end of the cigar and reliably guess how those cigars are going to perform. So far, the cab has been 60/40 bad construction to good.

I also wonder whether those DA are overfilled, which is somewhat common among Havanas.

I think they're just overfilled. The foot is tight on most of them. A shame, because the food ones are the bomb.

Warped Don Reynaldo. Good cigar, a bit too expensive for what is essentially a shorter corona gorda

LFD Double Ligero Chiselito this morning.

Espinosa Crema No.5 to finish up the morning. I think Oklahoma has lost its mind when it comes to weather. It was 90….90 degrees yesterday. Woke up to 15 degree wind chill this morning.

That's wild, 90° in Feb!?

Cold again here, but like last year the winter has been weak overall

Padron Delicia on the way to WI, and a Carillo Stella on the way home


I do like these basic Padrons, but everyone seems to be consistently out of the interesting smaller sizes.

The Carillo Stellas are kinda underwhelming until I remember that they're a $5 stick. Then I think they're alright

I do like these basic Padrons, but everyone seems to be consistently out of the interesting smaller sizes.

An acquaintance on another forum works at a cigar shop and he was told by the Padron rep that Padron is not making their classic line in 46 RG or smaller anymore, so no more Churchills, Panetelas, Ambassadors, etc, which effectively ends my purchase of Padron Classic. By gravy, I hope they change their minds, but at least we've got $40 Padron Blacks, $60 Padron 60ths, and $175 Padron/Fuente collaborations to choose from.
