What Cigar are You Smoking?

[BROBS]

Nice! I hope I haven't promised too much speaking of a mild nicotine content. Did you like it?

Yes I enjoyed that one quite a bit!

Ok Why do some of you guys make V cuts in ceegars? and what do you use?
Occasional Cuban cigar smoker here.I use a cigar cutter that takes the top clean off

I will use a V-cutter on any cigar 46 ring and under. I will occasionally use a bullet cutter on 42 ring and under..The reason(s): 1. The use of a V will eliminate the possibility of the foot deconstructing on a improperly rolled cigar. 2. Once upon a time, when Coronas (and not Robusto+ cigars) were the most popular vitola, the V- cut was considered the most elegant way to cut a cigar. 3. The cut provides a perfect surface area for the draw.
I use a basic stainless V-Cutter that I have had for more than 40 years.

Well I have learnt something today. Thank you for that it does look elegant and I like the reasoning behind it.

I also use them on almost all my cigars, only lanceros are straight cut. This might be considered BS, but I like the draw dead centre the most, I also get a draw with a little bit more resistance which I like. I use a xikar VX2 cutter, has a shallow cut, for a deeper cut you have to turn to Colibri.

Now smoking a HC Habano 2 - Quite good budget cigar

Yesterday I smoked a Rocky Patel Vintage 1979 Cameroon

This is my first box purchase, at a great price. Glad it’s enjoyable. Walking the parents dogo and enjoying a wild turkey lemonade despite the heavy wind and chill in Chicago suburbs. Happy Sunday all.

Day one of the Great Snowstorm of '21 turned into a dud here in Denver. Spent most of the day at the B&M smoking cigars. First up was a La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Reserva. Pretty nice, but not quite cellar worthy for me. Next was a Fuente Hemingway Classic and the same story.

It’s still snowing up there? Bless your hearts

I tend to only use it on thicker cigars, or very box-pressed cigars. I like it because I find it can concentrate the flavors on a bigger cigar with an airy draw. And it does keep the head area nice and clean and free from unraveling pieces of caps and the like.

Now smoking an Esteban Carreras Chupa Cabra Toro. With a v-cut (peen slit)

I'm at the B&M and decided to have a 2nd cigar while watching Warriors-Jazz. Tatuaje Fausto

'19 WF Johnny O lancero. Not bad for being in the sick period - should be magnificent after a few more years.

Sunday night treat, Toscano & whisky.

 

[jaytex1969]

Diesel Unlimited.

 

[Rockyrepose]

Roma Craft Cromagnon Mode 5.

Had the Caldwell Long Live the King today. Could barely get any smoke out of it it was so unevenly rolled/plugged. Of course it was the one time I forgot my perfect draw tool.

Last night smoked a San Cristobal Elegancia. More medium than mild but not bad at all!

Well, didn't George Carlin say that a cigar is just a big, brown, dick? So...

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Undercrown Sungrown Corona. I've now smoked a bunch of these and they've all rated a solid... meh. I'd like to try the other vitolas. So far though I MUCH prefer the regular maduro.

Illusione Garagiste Toro. Another cigar that features three (3!) different languages in its name. Don't they realize Americans can barely handle English?! ?
