Thread: What cigar did you smoke today?

My buddies shop still has 200ish mini monster packs with all the samples in them. If your near glendale AZ you should check them out lol

Yeah, I've found Tatuaje inconsistent. One will nearly leave me in a puddle of cigar smoking ecstasy while the next will have serious construction issues. That's why I have not had one on awhile and probably why the 'monster' series went under my radar.

Alright....I think my shop probably has these..if they do I'll probably try one. Which vitola(s) is best?

Looked at my local shop and they have these in 3 different vitolas! The figurado was beautiful! I was almost interested in a purchase just to look at it. Didn't pull the trigger today because of the $$$-$$$$ price range. They also had a serie v Maduro which is priced $$-$$$. More likely to try that first. Thanks for the heads up on that. I may have missed it because the Olivias are on the other side of the walk-in humidor I usually go to.

Montecristo No. 1

Hoo-ah!

A beautiful sunny afternoon here so it was out to the back patio to enjoy a couple of peaceful hours with a well aged mellow Sancho Panza Coronas Gigantes.

I liked all the Baby Monsters. Fun little cigars. I also like the Tatuaje Unico. Very consistent and very good smoke. The Oliva V Melanio Torpedo is also a nice smoke. Today, I settled for a Monte #2 Habano.

Camacho SLR Maduro Rothschild, a little powerhouse.

Guantanamera Cristales Habana
Not too bad for the price

My buddy gave me an Ave Maria a while back and I finally smoked it. I usually bum around the mild-medium end of the spectrum, but I like a full-bodied every now and then. But this thing knocked my socks off; I stood up after I finished, then had to sit down for another 10 minutes. Very nice while I puffed on it though. It made my mouth remember it was alive!
