Did you know, that Blonde (Clint Eastwood) smokes exactly Toscano cigars in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly?
I always cut it from the middle.
Smoking a big bowl of SWR in a Rossi pipe, visions of redfish dancing in my head!
All things being equal, I would say that the various Habano seed (i.e. Corojo, Criollo, the generalized "Habano") wrappers probably are more peppery than Sumatra, Cameroon, Broadleaf, Connecticut Shade, etc., but that is not always the case. The origin and primings (ligero, viso, seco, volado) of the various leaves that make up the cigar will often be more informative. Nicaraguan tobacco tend towards more pepper than Honduran, Dominican or Cuban tobaccos... It is pretty rare to get a pepper bombs from those latter three countries. I seem to alternate between really embracing peppery cigars and getting bored with them. Lately I've been enjoying them more, but YMMV.
It's always the right thread for fishing dreams.
Arturo Fuente Canones on the deck earlier...
JRE Aladino Vintage Selection with some Guatemalan espresso. Good luck with those redfish, @Paul lec
'18 Montecristo Petit Edmundo, fantastic flavors.
Though I'd much rather have the extra length of the regular or double Edmundos, I've kept going back to the petites because they've been such sure things in my experience. Great smokes, fresh or with a bit of age!
Now smoking a Tatuaje Selección del Cazador/Brown Label/Miami.. It's the double corona size with some Colombian pour-over
@danimalia these have been all over the place. The first one was horrific (not enough dryboxed, kept on tunneling, tossed it half way), second was good, this one kept canoeing on me so a few touch ups. Still have 7 to go, but till now they have been flavorwise very good to me, in my present pace the last one will have about 5 years on it. I also have some petite #2's, but I want to smoke my present stock first.
Tatuaje is great, untill now I only didnt enjoy the Fausto line. I have some old La Casitta Criolla's (triple CT Broadleaf) and Ambos Mundos Sumatras, if I remember correct these gone out of production in '18.

Cheers to a lovely Friday evening. Murcielago Robusto and A. De Fussigny Selection Cognac (damn you, thank you Shane Z.)

Redfish we're all too small, but we caught some trout which made for some fantastic fish tacos! Afterwards I smoked a nice Last Call by AJ, one of my favorites! Great day all the way around.
Stoked, enjoying a cigar with my son, who is of age, with The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 He, AJ Fernandez New World, me, Punch Gran Puro Nicaragua. I was told Punch‘s were typically strong etc…. This is not, this is an awesome, medium full body, with rich taste and no pepper. My jam for sure.
