What Cigar are You Smoking?

[PipeLoverInPA]

Have read that these are kind of muddled and need some age. Thoughts? I've been curious about Fuente's Nicaraguan exploits since they were announced several years ago.

I have smoked 3 diff. sizes now & I can say that they are good right out the box. I have also smoked the "Naked Kings" and they are smoking just fine also.

Is that and A Fuente mug?

Why yes it is. They came with my Don Carlos "The Legend" desktop.

Gave these Semois a few weeks in the humidor before smoking. They were so dry on arrival the wrapper just breaks at the slightest touch. Very light grassy flavour - good for a morning smoke.
Had it in tandem with a Balinese Janger (bought some years ago and stored in my humidor). A richer, earthy, chocolatey smoke compared to the Semois.

Accompanied by a cigar-infused grappa by Gianni Capovilla (one of the small band do obsessional distillers like Hans Reitsetbauer of Austria and Laurent Cazottes of France). A very fine grappa that would have paired better with one of the lighter Habanos eg Cuaba, Hoyo or Juan LopezView attachment 89439View attachment 89440View attachment 89441

Cigar-infused Grappa?! Whoa! I drank a decent amount of grappa when I was in Italy 10 years ago, along with plenty of Fernet Branca, but all the varieties I had were just whatever the bar sold when someone asked for grappa (what we call "well" liquor here in the US), and not anything cool like that. I'm trying to imagine what cigar-infused grappa would taste like... Was it peppery?

It has a slight herbal/vegetal character which I find difficult to pin down. I have only ever smoked tobacco but not "tasted" tobacco. I will have to chew some tobacco leaf to see what it tastes like. Intriguing !

Illusione 888 Churchill after a fine lunch of ribs and pork belly from a top notch local smoke shack.

Not at this exact moment, but I’ve really gotten to enjoy casa Cuba. It’s a Fuente product that flies under the radar. I have a few in my humidor, among with other Fuente dreams like opus x, siglio, and eye if the shark. Since it was shark week and all.

Illusione Fume D'Amour Clementes for an after dinner smoke.

Casa Torano robusto with some 1792 Small Batch Bourbon on the side. Trying to get excited about going back to work tomorrow. It's not working so far.

Picked up a handful of different new-to-me sticks at a cigar/feed store in the North Georgia Mts. Back to sweating in my shack in the hills.

Finally had some time to sneak one in, HVC Serie A Perlas.

A hottub after a long hike, and then dry out by the fire, with one of those cigar/feed store blends.
