What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

[BenMN]

@Kilgore Trout that R44 is a favorite of mine. Do you age them or have any experience with aged ones?

@Smokey87 welcome! Sounds like an unintentional dryboxing of sorts?

@cshubhra sounds like a nice start. Did it hold up all the way through for you?

@tubbyninja1337 nice to see you on the cigar side

@Rockyrepose nice pic with the Connecticut X yellow lily

@Bbailey324 a few months can do a lot sometimes right?

@craig61a always enjoy seeing you post a nice vintage


Late afternoon Exquisito with a year on it



And I finished this Petite VSG just as the rain started to fall

Great day for a paddle. You on the upper Apple?

St. Croix, above Stillwater, but not far off!

Can’t beat those for the price! I love these in maduro, they come with a minimum of 2 1/2 years age on em

That's what I got this morning a Maduro 3000. And it's really good too.

 

[Epip Oc'Cabot]

I just tried for the first time a Brick House Mighty-mighty Maduro. I was very pleased with it! Smooth draw, deep yet mellow flavors with a hint of sweetness. I will definitely plan to have another one in the future!

Hey Ben, I had a couple of the R58s that had around 4 years of age on them, and they were fantastic. I went down to Holt's to buy a box, but they were out. So I grabbed a fist full of the R44s. That was probably a year ago, and that was my last one. I was actually thinking of driving down today to grab some more!

Yes it did! Fantastic recommendation. I would get some more!

Glad it worked out!

Hot Cake half Corona before I finish mowing


Decent, stubby little thing @ 3.5 X 44. The two I've smoked have had firm draws and surprisingly long burn times. 4 month's rest

For $3 and change on sale they are ok

If the next one is firm I might drill it out with perfectdraw to see if some of the alleged sweetness from the "viso corojo maduro" filler shows itself more

 

[dublinpiper90]

Gonna lite up a Davidoff Signature No.2, I usually smoke more Habano or Maduro but these have me hooked even though I do think the price and all is a bit overated.

@tubbyninja1337 nice to see you on the cigar side

Thanks good to be here! I've definitely missed smoking cigars. Hope you're well!

Ah, I see it now. You're near the bank, not on small water!

@Kilgore Trout thanks for sharing. I've got a box of the 44s that I decided to crack into at about the year mark. Good to know they can sit for a while longer

Did you end up running for more?

@tubbyninja1337 all good here, thanks for the well wishes!

@kcmontie hope your having a good time. Did you travel?

I hope @AppalachianPipe92's Micallef smoked well. These little Migdalias have not been performing for me



We used to smoke these AJ Last Calls quite a bit

 

[TubbyInTweed]

On the menu for the evening is a UC10 in the corona viva vitola paired with a glass of Guinness. This is one of my favorite combinations.

Hope you all had a great Saturday!

 

[Rockyrepose]

Tatuaje tat. Good stuff.

 

[PipePint&Cross]

My Father La Duena Petite Lancero on a beautiful morning, really nice flavor.
I had a Don Pepin earlier this week that burned terribly, and knowing these were from the same company I was a bit worried I would have a repeat. But this thing had about the best burn of any cigar I've had. It burned straight and even all the way down to the nub, I didn't have to touch it up once or even consider it.

This looks like a great pairing. Have you tried Dunbarton's Broadleaf offerings?

@PipePint&Cross those are great. I heard an interview with someone from My Father who said La Dueña was their most underrated line. I like the Petite Belicoso (as well as the little Lancero). Give 'em 6 months and they absolutely shine. A great value

Joya Cuatro Cinco Petite


Despite some initial burn issues it held the ash well

All in all a very nice smoke, with woody and creamy notes in addition to the usual. The filler gets some oak cask aging
