Thread: What cigar did you smoke today?

No martini... which is really too bad, this cigar could have used one. That or maybe a year in the humi? Not sure. All the same, tonight's cigar:

Was given this by a retailer for my patronage! "Free" cigars are the best . This one came wrapped in one heck of a band.



Look at me all wrapped up all pretty and stuff .


All said and done - the band really was impressive.


All said and done - the band really was impressive. But generally speaking, I wasn't expecting much. Past experience as proven that excessive bands usually mean a poor cigar. But the big bands are in vogue so who knows. Punched and lit her up.



Perfect!

Man this thing settled down quickly and smoked like a king! Like a king! I don't know if it was because it was free or not but man, it tasted great. Just a bit of oil, great retro-hail, not too strong.



Great ash - did I say this thing smoked like a king?


All said and done, I would certainly buy em again. Considering I was given a coupon code for 5 free if I spend over $70.00, it's a given. Nice change .

Casa Fernandez Miami Aganorsa Leaf Maduro El Supremo, 6 x 58.
Very nice cigars in maduro with rich taste.
"Oily and richly colored, this cigar is nearly flawless in construction. A lush draw imparts strong notes of toast, nuts and caramel with ample chocolate undertones".

Looks great brother - i cant find em at my retailers .

A Ramon Allones Belicosos 2005 reserved for Great Britain tonight. A new cutter? No, the Brian Brown Custom was thrown in just for fun!

monte cristo open master.
i nice smoke for a sunny autumn day.

Actually this was yesterdays smoke in honor of JFK's passing. It is an H.Upmann Majestic which is the closest I can come to JFK's beloved vitola of H.Upmann Petite Upmans. The petites were discontinued by HSA several years ago.
They were the cigars that JFK had Pierre Salinger scour all the local cigar shops for as JFK was going to sign the Cuban embargo the next day. : )

For you Habanos lovers. The first shots here are the original 1918/1919 tubo with a Cuban release. They did not slide on the "lid" nor was it a twist off but was bound with putty and a pull tab. I smoked one of these about 4 years ago or so and it was delightful and in perfect condition. Prior to these both Cuban and other tubos were glass.



And now one of the finest Cuban cigars I have had the pleasure of smoking and worth their weight in gold, the Cuban Dunhill Tubo's.


And to sip and enjoy cigars some great Cuban Rum. : )

I do David, those are just empty tubos atop the humidor.




Here is a shot of a wonderful box of 1966 Por Larranaga Monte Carlos. A friend and I split the box after we won an auction in the UK several years ago.
