What are you smoking or What do you enjoy smoking (Pipe & Cigar Thread)

[Expat]

I've had something like that before but it's been quite a few years.

How was it?

Good. Typical Diesel. Burned good. I wasn’t sure how it would do with two types of wrapper.

Tonight I went back to an old favorite.

When I first got into premium cigars I fell in love with the oliva g.

For years it was my go to. It was great as usual, however to be honest it just doesn't quite compare to some of the fuller bodied cigars I enjoyed lately.

Morning cigar was a Rocky Patel Edge cask aged Black.

Well I had another one of these after some time in the humidor. Burnt great this time. It's a good smoke but I think I like the 5 Vegas Cask box press a little better. I did share one with a buddy and he really liked it.

I also had another 5 Vegas Animal. It's a good stick too. The shape seems to really change the flavor (I think) a lot more than a standard shape.

I have bought a bunch of seconds shaped like that. I always liked them, sad they weren’t a little bigger. Never knew what brand they were.

I found a Gurkha Beauty I didn't know I had so I'm smoking it right now. It's 61° and I have a Contigo of coffee. It'll be a good evening.

Man this is a good smoke. Drew Estate Kentucky Fire Cured. Smells horrible before you light it but a hint of sweetness and just good flavor. I know they have several different blends of this and I don't remember which one this is.




The leaves are cured in a barn and smoked dry. It's definitely a unique cigar.

So I'm a fan of Frank Sinatra. So when I saw these pop up on cigar bid I grabbed a brick.

Just finished it. Can't say I was impressed. It wasn't bad, It just wasn't great. I'll finish the brick but prob won't order more.

I got to drop in on a little shop over in Michigan City today...



Cool little place in a house from the late 1800s.

Indeed.

I got lucky to have a down day and did a little driving around Indiana.

Alas, it may be too dang hot to enjoy this at the moment.

Might have to try another later in the evening!!!

This thread really started to die after I stopped using it has a blog thread about my cigars lol.


If you go to Nicky blaine's, ask for brook she's amazing. She knows me the moment I walk in she knows my favorite spot to sit and even know what I mean when I ask for a "princess old fashioned"

Tonight's smokes,

Monte Cristo,
Padron 3000
Nub Connecticut,

Smoked while killing a couple bottles of champagne.

All are great as usual.

I love the large shoulder on the monte. Why can't more cigars makers do that too?

LFD Double Ligero #700 Maduro

It has been a while since I have been able to find these.

If you enjoy a high ring maduro with a true oily wrapper, this one makes my "recommend" list!

This one is a first for me. Got it in brick of different cigars.

Pretty good, though a little harsh, just a little.
