What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

[AreBee]

Reflecting on the 17th anniversary of my Dad’s passing tonight with a Camacho Factory Unleashed and some Asleep at the Wheel (one of his favorites) on the juke. I’m pretty sure he’s around because the bird sightings have been crazy! A Cardinal pair, a Downey Woodpecker pair, a Red Winged Blackbird, a Yellow Bellied Sap Sucker, a Coopers Hawk and a Ruby Breasted Grosbeak. All in the span of a half-hour! The Grosbeak I’ve seen three times in 20+ years here and of course he shows today.

I just had my first ever Rocky Patel, starting with the Disciple. Today is my birthday and @Ash Cooper got me a selection of cigars - mostly Fuentes (my favorite brand) - but he also nabbed a couple Patels. I figured I should save the ALR for later, after I enjoy the essence of an RP variety.

(The drink is a Rough Rider in a Peugeot chiller glass. That's not the official name but it's what I call them.)

Taking a break from working on Weird Tales. Having a Famous Smoke Shop Nicaraguan Factory Selects, 5 5/8" x 60 on the porch. It’s about 7:30 pm and a comfortable 78⁰ outside. Wasabi couldn’t wait to go outside after being cooped up all day.

Very nice smoke! Not a big fan of Camacho, but this one’s a winner.

El Mago Renegade and some Dos Maderas rum to finish off the evening.

It’s 8:42 pm, and dark out. 72⁰ and a bit breezy. Still smoking the same cigar, but wanted to share an interesting pic of Wasabi lit by a car passing by.

Caldwell The King Is Dead to start the day.

Aganorsa Rare Fusion. Wasn’t blown away by the first one of these I smoked. Verdict is still out.

The last "Cracker Crumb" from a 5-pack.

4.5 X 38, Quite thick Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro over Nic guts.
Good little smoke. Cheap, but I've found they smoke best with a year of humi time

I'll be exploring the Micallef brand's smaller format offerings before buying more of these.

Romeo y Julieta Cedros deluxe #3 with a local Bourbon. Cheers to the weekend!

Nailed it!

Montecristo Viejo to start the day. A late start, but a start nonetheless.

 

[Pooh-Bah]

I saw this thing at the tobacconist the other day, said "Jesus Christ what the hell", and promptly bought one for the sheer novelty factor.

Asylum 13, 80 gauge.

Yeah, why not!

My neighbor gave me one of those Drew Estate eggs as a joke. He was shocked when I actually smoked it. And you know, it was pretty good!

Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 "junior"

4 X 38, Ecuadorian Sumatra over DR and Nic.

Camacho Equador. Like the taste but don’t like the fact that every one of them had construction issues

 

[rokerdepipe]

Enjoying a Drew Estate’s Kentucky Fire Cured MUWAT.

A Swisher Sweets slim. This has become my favorite cheap cigar. It has a solid, though mild, straight tobacco flavor with that nip of sweetness in the wrapper, of course. Good for an easy half hour smoke.

Alec Bradley Maxx roughly 5 x 58. Don't know anything about it but an okay smoke with some dark roast coffee and cocoa notes in the last half. First half not too exciting.
