What Cigar are You Smoking?

[tbradsim1]

Early morning a Nat Sherman Timeless, watching wife plant some Mums a H Upmann Connecticut, black coffee, rain expected.

6-7 year old Joya de Nicaragua Antano Doble Fuerte Dark Corojo.

Cold draw is chocolate/cedar.

First 1/3 rd is unsweetened dark chocolate, leather, cedar notes in the background. There’s a soda/bituminous note from the Ligero. Has some real strength for a cigar that’s been aging for 6-7 years.

Beginning of the second 1/3rd a syrupy sweetness and caramel notes on the initial draw, followed by floral notes. Black pepper notes follow up on the retrohale. There’s still a nice undercurrent of the strong Ligero.

At the halfway mark I’m getting some citrus notes. This is a flavor bomb… The Ligero follows close in the background, like a detective, just waiting to make his arrest. Coming into the last 1/3rd now, and I’m beginning to feel a slight nicotine buzz.

I’m picking up some espresso notes.

The Ligero kicks up a few notches, and there’s some baking spices that follow. A caramelized sweetness underlying.

The burn gets a little wonky at the end. Under an inch left, but I don’t want it to end. Burning my lips and fingertips, so this ones done…

Nice even burn all the way up to the end. Draw was fabulous throughout. I’m a little dizzy. That happens very rarely. I might have to go lay down. ??

This is a top notch smoke.

I used to smoke those, or one in that line. Big, strong cigar. No demerits for having to go lay down afterward after smoking it that far down. You did it justice.

Say what you will. Actually really good.

Wildfire Cigar Co. The Single with espresso from Sumatra and a bit of drip from Ethiopia as a chaser. Watching Giants-Dodgers.

@danimalia it was a war! Probably the best heavyweight fight of this modern era. When boxing delivers, it over-delivers!

I am having this annoying seasonal flu, have to work from home but it won't prevent me from enjoying this petite corona I rolled few days ago. The filler is Aged Dominican Criollo 98 Seco, for the binder and wrapper I used Mata Fina.

Your rolling is looking better and better. Sounds like a tasty cigar.

Damn, maybe I should start paying more argentine and U definitely need to catch a replay. I've got some good memories of being a kid and watching big fights with my Dad. Holyfield, De la Hoya, Roy Jones Jr, etc... I guess kids these days might watch big fights with their families, too, but it's UFC. I don't particularly enjoy UFC but they definitely make great, compelling fights that people want to see.

Crowned Heads Four Kicks with a bit of espresso from a homemade mix of beans from Yemen, India and Kenya.

Lol, the autocorrect did a number on me. That first sentence should say that I should pay more attention to boxing, and that I need to catch a replay of the fight.

Morning cigar

No name barber pole. Mehhhh burn was not great, too many relights. But, now I know why premium cigars are called Premium!

Thank you for the kind words. Seco leaf comes from the lower part of the tobacco plant, I didn't use any Ligero (from upper part of the plant) in this blend to see how Seco tastes by itself.
