What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

[spearheadbill]

I chooched a Bolivar Royal Corona earlier today while shooting a sporting clays tournament

Late response, but let me know if you try the Fabrica 5. I am a sucker for cool packaging, but if I can get a great cigar for a good price, give them to me naked and bundled.

So far I have had the Puro Desnudo Lancero and Ninfa. To my taste they are excellent Honduran puros, Cubanesque in character, and very well rolled. I plan to always keep some in my collection.

A tasty ‘el cheap o’ after leave pickup. This was from yesterday afternoon.

I was saving this Por Larrañaga for Thanksgiving, but @pantsBoots (indirectly) talked me into smoking it today. It’s delicious.



First winter storm of the season and we got 12” already, with more coming tonight. By February I’m going to need a vacation someplace warmer!

Recently had the Connecticut and loved it. Can’t go wrong for the price.

Smoking through this box has been an interesting experience, always getting different flavor profiles, only one being slightly mediocre. I’ll get dry white wine and a lovely intense minerality on one, toasty graham cracker and honey on the other, and now this one has been a very syrupy texture with stewed apple and baking spice.

I think Honduran tobacco can be very elegant, rich and nuanced based on your particular palate that day, or just dry and flavorless for which it seems like I know a lot of people that experience that side. That said I always seem to be entranced by the Honduran goodness and can totally see why they are often compared as the closest thing to Cuban tobacco.

So it’s no surprise this is my favorite Plasencia, being the one Honduran puro. This is a box from a year and a half ago and unfortunately I’ve heard from people who picked up a box this year that they are extremely foul, and smell like bad barnyard in the box, people have been chucking them before they even get halfway through , so I don’t know what’s going on there, I thought these were all one crop year, and what they had they had. So I’ve been put off on acquiring more, which is a bummer because this right now is smoking about as good as you could ever ask for.

I want to be in the river too.
Are you fishing?

I am

You are welcome anytime. Although it can get cold... sounds like @JoeW got 12", we only got 3" here which is a few hours straight west of him.

I heard on some interview, can't remember and doesn't matter who, guy said there's never been a cigar recalled

Whether true or not its funny and I think speaks to an unfortunate reality we get to experience

I always enjoy your write-ups

I’m only a little jealous!

Smoked a Last Call (first Last Call for me ) at my wife’s friend’s pool before we left back south for home. I just learned about cigarpage, pray for my wallet.

I am a fan of full body cigars and particularly Arturo Fuente. I found this Anejo Reserva #50 (5.25" x 50) at my local shop and it may be the best cigar I have ever smoked.

 

[cshubhra]

Earlier I smoked Rocky Patel The Edge Natural

 

[Goblin_Walrus]

Just took the dog for another walk, lit up a Lord Baltimore robusto, I cannot remember the exact name of the cigar. Lord Baltimore something. Anyway, the dog had a good time and that’s what matters.

Few from yesterday:

Joya CT Corona

Dunbarton Duque for the ride home

Earlier I smoked an Arturo Fuente Brevas Royale Natural

Today I smoked a Stilwell Star Bayou. This was the first Stilwell Star that wasn’t totally locked-up airflow wise. A pity it was the only one in my sampler to have decent construction, fairly interesting concept but the execution was just not there.

Tonight is a ceegar. Tatajue monster 2025 mummy redux5. A true Churchill with a Criollo wrapper and having just lit it I can say already that it may well be the most delicious non Cuban stick I’ve ever had. W0W
