What Cigar are You Smoking?

Bolivar Habano. Nice flavor, but tight as hell draw. Is that normal for Bolivars ?

Havanas typically have tight draws compared to non-cuban cigars. It threw me for a loop at first, but I got used to it and now prefer a snug draw vs the wind tunnels that many NC offer. It's not for everyone, but I like how it makes the smallest of Petit Coronas last an hour and a half and provides a good, even burn (assuming good construction).

Had a ~10 yr old Hemingway Short Story yesterday evening. These age so well.

Because of the weather I haven’t had the opportunity to enjoy my pipe too often. And since I never got the hang of smoking a pipe and driving I had a 2010 Partagas Lusitania yesterday. Most larger cigars take about a third to really hit their stride, but this Lusi started off with tons of flavor and just better and better until the nub. I bought this 10 count box back in 2010 when prices were relatively cheap, I wish I purchased a 50 cab.

I used to love those way back when. Glad to see they're still around! I smoked several boxes worth until they came out with the Rabito de Cochino size.

This is the one I recommend for you @BROBS though I prefer the 44, 52 or 54 sizes, personally.
