What Did You Smoke Today? Cigars.

[cshubhra]

Another cigar today- Cohiba Red Dot ?

20 minutes in to a CAO Flathead V660 Carb. This is going to be a long smoke. I'm glad I have the UFC to keep me company this evening.

I remember this cigar being bold, but it's actually pretty smooth and mild. The draw is snug, and it's starting to unravel on me, but I shall soldier on.

To be honest I'm always tempted to try my heavy hitters. Whether it's an esoterica blend, or an aged Cuban cigar. You know, the premium stuff.

But today I saw all those CAO Brazilias taking up space and thought, "Today's the day I finally try one of these."

Is it a complex smoke?

Absolutely not. Very one dimensional.

But you know what, it really hit the spot. This summer I've had some bad smokes. Some duds.

But this was a nice no nonsense smoke that didn't break the bank.

I'm strongly opinionated that cigars and pipes are both amazing. Anyone that likes one but not the other is missing out big time.

During the summer I've been pulled to the cigar side much more than usual. And it's been fantastic.

Smoking an A. Turrent San Andres. Bought a mazo of 20 for $25 with free shipping. Wanted a cheap cigar that I could hopefully enjoy. Not much to it save the slightly sweet wrapper. An inoffensive smoke and I do like me a San Andres wrapper.

Update: at the 2nd third I'm getting hints of cherries.

Small Club Corona

Cohiba corona red dot while doing homework this morning. I probably shouldn’t have since homework turns everything into background noise. Too expensive to just smoke, without being able to pay attention to it...

La Flor Dominicana 'El Carajon.' Very tasty little stick. Excellent construction. Tendency to get a bit hot, as one reviewer warned, but flavor/retrohale were lovely, akin to the Air Bender.

Now smoking an HR Claro in a very small vitola - The Rothschild. About 5 mins in, it is a very good smoke.
I recently won a lot (I think 45) cigars from cigar bid. To ensure I have space in the humidor, smoking cigars regularly now (1 or 2 everyday)

CShubhra said they were good, smoked one today and you can take his opinion to the bank.

Monte by Montecristo. This cigar hits above its weight class I think. Smooth and robust coffee flavors with nice transitions. I'm on the last third now.

Not a lot of time before wife gets home, so perfect for a crack stick.

All ligero! I had one a few years ago and thought it was a dang firecracker.

The Tabernacle Havana Ct. #142 toro

Flor De Oliva Maduro. Pleasantly surprised. The only bundles I have tried in the past were Quorum, but they were less than stellar. At least 1 in 3 would canoe. I figured I should find something cheaper than $40 a day since I married an accountant. The Flor De Oliva bundle, where I got them today on a lark, was $3 and change per after tax. But I’ve seen them online for as low as $2. Burned evenly all the way to the nub with the mild spice constant throughout. Very similar to the Oliva V Maduro. But my pallet isn’t optimal yet, take that for what it is worth. Great lawn mower cigar at the very least.

Flor de Las Antillas Maduro. Pretty tasty, I think I enjoy the regular ones more though.
