Thread: What cigar did you smoke today?

Their Lot 23 Connecticut is a great smoke for a very reasonable price.

Had a Brickhouse Mighty Mighty Maduro (Gordo) this morning on the ride in.

Pleasant, sweet and mild yet full...my only complaint (and totally my fault) is that I couldn't enjoy the entire stick before I arrived at work.

You know Yardie, that's kind of funny. I had to think about it, but I don't think I have had one I didn't enjoy either. They are a kind of work horse brand lol!

WOW!

Dang that looks good!! Why did I stop here before bed!? Now all I want is THAT stick lol!

It'll be a restless night me thinks lol... Sigh.

I finally got round to smoking that Tatuaja Petit Cazadores Reserva. Very pleasant little cigar. Quite spicy, switching between chili spice and black pepper spice. Also quite earthy in different ways, occasional hints of leather and savoury herbs. The draw got tighter and tighter for the first two thirds and there was tar oozing out of the end after a while. When i got to the last third the spice suddenly disappeared and I started getting some really nice deep earthy flavours and something like burnt steak. The last bit tasted really nice so when it was getting too small to smoke I pushed it into my long clay pipe. I was getting some interesting medicinal flavours and some sweetness and the very last draw before it went out was very distinct milk chocolate. I dug about a quarter of an inch of it out of the bowl when it was done.

I'm not sure what the english cigar etiquette is regarding jamming the nub into a pipe, but I suspect it's regarded as ridiculous.

Effn. Awesome.

Aren't they?

Dry boxing a Don Pepin JJ Beli. For after work tonight. Have had a couple boxes for 5 years resting. Let's see what time and a long sleep did to them!

Currently enjoying a monte 2 from 07' in celebration of my first shave last night! Chocolate and cocoa and just goodness.

My cigar monger gave me a freebie yesterday, a Room 101 Master Collection One (Papi Chulo)...had it on the ride into work.

Zero criticism for this stick, fans of the Daruma (manah) will undoubtedly enjoy this one...if I had criticism for this stick was it was too small (= length of time to enjoy was drastically reduced).

Going to see if he can't get them in my preferred size, being the 'Monstro' (5 x 60).

Solid smoke, bold yet sweet with complex flavours, zero harshness.

Yeah, it will have a home in my humi alright.

Don't mind the dodgy pic...and yes, that is from this morning alright, 'Springtime' my arse.



At this rate I'll be able to get my bike on the road...lets say...around late June/early July.

THEY ARE SO!!!!

Smoked an amazing cigar today, before easter dinner with ma - a LE 2001 Cohiba Piramid, what a smoke! Maybe alittle heavy after a light lunch, but totaly worth it. Not many left now, but they're getting better for every year (at least two yrs since I smoked one though).





HAPPY EASTER! :-)
