Toscano Extra Veccio

I just had the same, thanks to your recommendation. Man, that was strong. I finished the rest of it in a group 1 pipe. Now I know what a nicotine kick is. Those are exceptional cigars for a reasonable price.

I'd suggest splitting em in two , using a a cigar cutter, thats the way they mostly do it down in Italy

Thanks! That’s how I did, according to your advice in another thread. I enjoyed it quite a bit but for me it was on the edge of being too strong... I‘m having another half cigar right now puf

Why no cigars? I ask myself. I've enjoyed some good cigars over the years. Of course, I like the big price break on pipe smoking even with up-market tinned tobacco, compared to cigars. But also, I really like the flexibility in terms of mixing blends at will each bowl. Also, I don't find it appetizing to smoke cigars intermittently, whereas with pipes, it's a given, with a day between relights if desired. With a cigar, you're committed to the whole experience, and if you're interrupted, it becomes second rate. At some point I will enjoy another cigar, but for now, the pipes have me.

Just enjoyed an Ave Maria Templar out on the deck watching the birds start flying south.

Earlier a Punch Elite double maddie.

Apparently you can't even buy a hat without a warning label these days...

Another Padron 2000 while cleaning a few more pipes earlier. 'Bout to fire up a LFD Air Bender and watch the sun go down.

Late night cigar. Buenaventura.

Not today, but last night:
El Rey del Mundo
Corona Inmensa
This bundle has got to be pushing 10 years old and then they were a decent cheap cigar, though a little harsh.
Now all cedar and smooth. Age doesn't make a bad cigar good, so I think these were decent to start with and just needed the time to smooth the edges.

El Rey’s are a long time fave for myself, the Robusto Larga in Oscuro being my top pick.

The Corona Inmensa’s were their short filler cigars and surprisingly good. I loved them. Pardon used to make a short filler “Fuma” that was a killer stick for the price. I miss those Something awful.

Oliva Master Blends 3 Churchill with a side of George Dickel 12. Nice cigar. Not a bad bourbon either.

The Padron 2000s are great, have not added to the cooler for awhile, may need to get those

Actually had a new one (for me) last night. HR Claro. Maybe it was the fact that I hadn't had a NIcaraguan cigar in a while, but I really enjoyed this one.




Tonight, a Hoyo Epicure No. 2.

 

[canucklehead]

Not smoking it yet, just gotta say, those guys at smokingpipes really wanted my single cigar (in a box full of bulk baggies of tobacco) to arrive safely

 

[danimalia]

If they still have space in the box, why not make extra sure!

Well, I am on something of a budget and most things are too mild for my tastes. I did find a Havana King, 6x60 in size, that was cheap an pretty good. I loved Opus back in the day.
