What Cigar are You Smoking?

[Scottishgaucho]

Wow. From what I've seen, Java tobacco is pretty rare these days. I believe the only cigar I've had that features Java leaf is the Butera Royal Vintage line.

Interesting. Although I suppose if the Java included only amounts to 0.5% they're telling the truth. ?

Is that some new-fangled way to chase away hornets or termites or blondes?

I thought Sumatra leaf can also be called Java? If that’s the case then the R&J 1875 uses an Indonesian Sumatra wrapper as well as a lot of cigarillos. Personally I like Ecuadorian Sumatra the most.

Well, technically Java and Sumatra are two different islands in Indonesia. So they're probably similar or identical leaf varietals just grown in two separate regions. Maybe like the difference between Connecticut and Pennsylvania Broadleaf? A lot of the leaf grown in Indonesia ends up in cigarillos and machine made cigars, but there are exceptions. The RyJ 1875, as you mention... I had one a few months ago I liked... Southern Draw Cedrus. Kind of a spicy boi, but tasty. I like the Ecuadorian grown Sumatra-seed quite a bit myself. Sumatra-seed tobaccos are also grown in the Dominican Republic (see: some of the filler in the LFD Coronado) and Nicaragua, such as the cigar I'm smoking right now, the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua. Sorry for the unsolicited cigar geography essay, but this stuff interests the hell out of me!

Anyone tried Free Cuba cigars made in DR? They are modestly priced and i usually like DR cigars.

Mechanic said it was my fault, stick I passed over reared up and drive belt came off. Told him FIX IT, but in a nice way, he’s treated me good, charges only 60$ to come get it. Had new blades, oil and filter change, new spark plugs. Found out when he returned it his whole family is going on vacation, tipped him 50$, he’s good and honest rare nowadays.

I haven’t tried them personally because the gent that owns and runs my local cigar shop said they weren’t worth it. He has them so when the bikers roll up and want to get a cigar but don’t know cigars from a hole in the wall they see the bare chested women on the label and buy them lmao. The one I picked up and looked at had the loosest foot I’ve ever seen and it felt spongy.

Just had a Romeo y Julieta Purito. It somehow got soggy after 2/3 of the stick and wouldn't light anymore. Weird.

Cohiba Black. First one. Dark heavy, full. Not horrible for a little cigar. I smoke these really slow. So far so good.

 

[jttnk]

I must add last night I had a Saint Luis Rey Broadleaf. Very disappointing cigar. Cap had a funky taste, very green and hay, grass. No deep rich maduro flavors. This smoke and body. Could be I got a dud or it’s just not my flavor.

Oliva Serie O. Quite a strong flavoured cigar. I didn't expect it, but very nice.

 

[Charlie718]

I only have 3 Oliva’s in my stash, I just can’t hold onto them long enough to build up a stock ?
