What Did You Smoke Today? Cigars.

[lukasstrifeson]

Smoking a small Montecristo White Series while I sort out my TAD shipment for the week! Had to jump on the CRF with Perique drop because I'm a mindless sheep, but I did have the good sense to make myself a mega cigar sampler while I was at it...



Which THREE would you smoke first?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classic Maduro. 1st third was just leather and a natural tobacco sweetness, with a bit o black pepper. 2nd third the pepper went away and was replaced by a hint of coffee and chocolate, and I mean a HINT. Final third the leather took a backseat to a ton of brown sugar and black coffee. Really enjoyable smoke.

Nice selection! I might reach for the L'At first. Or the Serie V. I'd be interested to know what you think of the La Aroma De Cuba. Made by Don Pepin, right?

It's actually a San Francisco Giants shirt that is a take-off of a Black Flag shirt. Same logo but it says "Black Orange" instead of flag.

Nice haul! Lot of good ones. I'd go La Aroma EE, L'Atelier and Fuente Double Chateau. Or maybe Epernay (is it an Epernay 2nd from top?), Melanio, La Aroma Classic... Or maybe... So many nice choices there.

Have yet to try a La Aroma De Cuba but I do think they are affiliated with Don Pepin. I'm a sucker for a pretty babe on a well-made wrapper. Will report back when I've tried one.

Also it's been very hit or miss with Oliva with me. Fingers crossed on this one.

Been very happy with L'Atelier's offerings, I'm excited to try the La Aromas too!

The Surrogates Tramp Stamp is in my wheelhouse. They are also L'Atelier.

Really struggling to get any cigars while on lockdown and stocks running low so just had a a Demi-Tasse Davidoff (just two of these left now)
I suspect I'll run out before the store re-opens

Rocky Patel Vintage 1992, it's a bit milder than I remember. Pairing it with a guava juice today.

Wow - I really enjoyed this. Started with the faint smells of manure - a great early omen. Smooth smoke, good full-bodied mouth-feel, not particularly strong. Didn't really take notes but I really liked the taste, especially the peppery retrohale.

 

[odobenus]

La Aurora Preferidos 1903 Edition Pareja, Emerald corona w/ the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Kind of a weird aroma on the cold draw, almost a little kimchi/vinegar-ish, but pleasant cedar-forward flavor once lit; fairly mild, though, and certainly too mild for out with the cows on a windy day; seriously wonky burn too. Retreated to barn where it was more enjoyable, but still felt bored with it and tossed with well over over two inches to go.

I'm an A' s fan so I'm not supposed to like anything Giants related but I do like the idea for the shirt. Black Flag has been a long time favorite band of mine. I enjoy the reunion of the old members, they are calling themselves Flag. It's fun to watch them still going hard.

I smoke cigars only occasionally on summer evenings. Better if accompanied by a good glass of whiskey. When I do this I usually smoke one of the Havana that I keep in the humidor (I stock up every time I go to Cuba). They are usually corona or robusto hand-made by the torceadores without the brand anilla. Really excellent and at an honest price.

It's my favorite version of La Aroma!

Enjoyed a Bolivar Belicosos Finos after more than 3 years.

What an experience ? I haven't smoked a cigar for nearly a year and this was a really tastefull punch.

It used to be my favorite cigar along with Ramon Alones Special Selected

Zero turn day, 5 acres to cut, need a big cigar, 5 Vegas Gold Churchill, good long smoke, last time no safety glasses, has 1/2 lb of dirt in my eyes. Safety glasses now, big difference.

Played golf today, it was a 3 cigar round. Opux X, Don Carlos Special Release and Tat TAA 2018. Enjoyed them immensely, especially the Opux.
