What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

[Bbailey324]

Punch Gran Puro Nicaragua Toro this evening. First time smoking this one and finding it very tasty. Mineral notes and warm spices with some dark coffee and hints of chocolate in the last third. Don't know why Puro is in the name, it has a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. Solid tick or so past medium bodied.

Had a nice afternoon with a good friend and my son yesterday at Thomas Hinds tabacconist.
Ended up having a Rocky Payel vintage 1999 toro.

The last Maduro Principe

Yesterday i had a faux-hiba on the way to visit family. My daughter picked this up for me from a street vendor in Mexico. Noted right away it was cello'd and had rough construction. Band was a little off, too, but this was actually a decent smoke. There were notes from Honduras and perhaps Nicaragua evident in the flavor profile. A thoughtful gift nevertheless!



And on the way home i pulled out one of my go-to's: Oliva Serie V lancie.



These always deliver.

Honey Berry Bandido. Not too much flavor on these. The Russian Cream has a better overall flavor.

I was so disappointed in this release. All I could taste was this weird and unpleasant pine flavor.

How long ago did you smoke one?

 

[Rockyrepose]

Smoking an unknown today. What i know, it's old. It came from the deep, dark bottom of a tub and the cello was dark. Maduro wrapper.

 

[Speak Easy]

Fuente Fuente to end the week.

Sunday evening cigar… The infamous “Rare Pink Short Story”

This highly sought after Fuente is fantastic. Construction, perfect. Draw, perfect. Flavor impressive… wish they were easier to come by.

AJ Fernandez New World Oscuro Double Corona. A long smoke kind of night. Going to sit back in the lounger in the garage and relax!

Snuck in a shortie in the yard today: Man O War Puro Authentico maduro pigtail (Nicaraguan firecracker).

 

[DeaconPiper]

Just smoked My Father's Judge (hey, that makes for a great country album title!)

I always found that weird, too, calling it Gran Puro Nicaragua when the wrapper is American. Then again, Drew Estate is always using "Puro" in the common Latin American way of referring to a quality, handmade cigar as opposed to what I've always understood a Puro to actually be, which is a cigar that is made entirely of leaf grown in the country in which its rolled.

Now smoking an Espinosa Las 6 Provincias ORT. I've enjoyed all of these releases so far, but this ORT is probably my least favorite and doesn't back up it's price point.

Is that the release box where the cigars are individually presented in their own slot? If so, the owner of my BM said the same thing and politely shied me away from them which was odd but cool of him at the same time.

AF Cañones Maduro for Monday.

 

[TheIronMonkey]

Having an Oliva Connecticut Reserve Robusto, 5.0" x 50 on the porch. It’s 64⁰ F today. Had to take advantage of it being nice out!





Wasabi is already barking his little head off at some kids across the way.
