What did you smoke today (NC) II

[jhedrick83]

I'm not sure, but the first thread may have just become too big to keep adding to. If that's the case, I like it! :stogie: So let's get cracking on "What did you smoke today II" if it turns out that the original thread is fine, a mod can always merge these posts later.

Well the band sure is pretty, didn't want to take it off. For free I can't complain but there are some construction issues. Rott so maybe they need to sit longer in some higher humidity?

Yes it was a dark belicoso
Well that explains that. When I looked it up the size was close to the Robusto but it was a bigger ring and had the beli tip so I was a tad confused
It still was a good smoke.

Found this floating around the wineador inside a sandwich bag with a couple blocks of spanish cedar. Was gifted from OnePyroTec back in February and forgot I had it. better than I expected it to be, though I'm not against the odd infused cigar, Somewhat floral/fruity taste mixed with the spanish cedar. Actually pretty tasty stick. Thanks again.

Wrapper splits across the back of this cigar (just below the label) and near the cap. "My box", I thought, "my bad", but looking closely the veins didn't match, it was a seam. What next, using old Optimo bands for filler?

Ok, that thing was good. The Salomon size that I had lasted just shy of 3 hours. Granted I am a very slow smoker. No re-lights, tons of smoke. A very good maduro smoke. I'd love to try these in a robusto or toro if my B&M has any left.

2012 Padron Churchill.

Like a tasty beaujolais, served in a tin cup. Underfilled and construction is barely adequate, below the quality of the leaf and the reputation of the brand. I'm not fighting it yet but the poor flag may become a problem. La Gloria Series R is comparable in taste, smoother and less coarse (coarse isn't a bad thing) but the construction makes it a joy to smoke.

Would venture to hazard a guess as to why, maybe, perhaps.
(Most certainly Sir Dog Rockets due to his immense responsibilities of overseeing the kingdom of GURKHA lit this "odd" cigar without first examining it properly)

Only needed to turn it over before lighting to determine the cigar's true gender.

Sadly, now too late for pix.

Love the graphics you come up with :)

2013 Obsidian Double Perfecto with Diet Pepsi and Mozart Piano COncerto #21, (Elvira Madigan).

Age has helped these become a good smoke. Filled well, if a little out of round, but it burns perfectly. Very nice in the mouth because the taper is gradual. In a nice way, it tastes like a Merlot poured over a leather belt that was on the ground overnight. Medium body, good smoke volume, smooth, consistent with a (bit) lighter snork that has a touch of spice. I either have a box of these, and if not, then I may have a single, wish I had more. Best Pinar product I've tried.

Pretty sure I got it from you! It was robusto size and had a very large black wrapper thing around the bottom half of the stick. Lettering was in gray I think. Fess up Tony - what is this thing?

Brohiba tonight. This is from my latest batch, which had a lot of experiments in it, including this one which is a "Kentucky Puro," all contents of which coming from a grower in KY. Filler is Silver River, One Sucker (a dark air variety), and another leaf that the grower calls Dark Air, which is very similar to One Sucker, but packs a vitamin N wallop. Binder is One Sucker, ideal for the task as it has a good flavor and is strong and somewhat leathery. Wrapper is CT Broadleaf.

Flavor was pretty rough at first, with notes of hardwood and pizza box, but it has smoothed out nicely with just a little pepper. Still, I don't think I'll be including Silver River in my cigars henceforth. Burn is pretty straight and steady. Although it's a small robusto, I've been at it for about 45 minutes and it's still less than half gone. And the nic hit has me growing fangs and claws :)

First one I had was great. This one doesn't seem to want to stay lit, multiple wrapper patches and green spots. A little disappointed to be honest. Taste is pretty good but the construction on this one is frustrating. I guess that's part of the chance you take when the cigar is wrapped in tissue and then a paper sleeve, you can't really inspect it well pre-purchase.

That Daruma is a lovely cigar no matter the vitola IMO!
And they have 2 Namakubis, the plain Namakubi & the Ecuador. The Ecuador is a nice smoke. They are not clear on the difference in the description. Haven't had the plain Namakubi.

Pushed brewing capacity and things went well, which calls for a cigar, right? Of course!

Going through my stash I figured I should go for the longest as winter is upon us which brought up this honker of a stogie sent from DogRockets, an Undercrown.

Do you ever rest the Brohibas to see how the profile changes with time?

Yes they do certainly improve in both flavor and burn when allowed to rest. 6 months or more seems best. However, between bombs, trades, mooches, and my own impatience, they rarely live that long.

I haven't rolled much lately, too many other demands on my time. Perhaps after the new year things will settle down.

These get a love it or hate it opinion on the facebook group I'm on but so far, other than a pretty tight draw, it's a great tasting cigar.

The Griffin's Robusto. Last of the chicory coffee, mixed with New Mexico Pinon (Thanks Chico), about 50% of each coffee and it works, benefits from both. Colder this am than it's been in a week.

Not really sure how old, these old sticks are, but they're old. Been trying to fix their shortcomings with age but that's a fool's errand. Speaking of fools, shortcomings and errands, the years have evaporated my shortcomings and I do have urgent errands but I delay to write this post.

The Griffin's was like a pre-boom Graycliff, a hyped, over priced, private label offering. Taste is indistinguishable from cheap H. Kelner bundles that are, at least, honest in price, and you won't have to spend decades 'ageing' them to see if they get any better, cuz they don't.

2012 Pueblo Dominicano Toro. My son supplied the coffee this am. Kaiden, (granddaughter), is here through Christmas (yipee!).

Braved the cold this weekend with a friend who blind smoked a couple of sticks.

I gave him:
2012 Pueblo Dominicano Toro
2013 Pueblo Dominicano Torpedo

I smoked, with bands on:
201? Pueblo Dominicano kindly supplied by Bryan (@BryGuySC)
2009 Montecristo Media Noche Torpedo

My buddy mainly smokes Cubans. The two Pueblos I gave him smoke with differences. He liked both but preferred the 2013, that's bolder and creamier and he nailed it as a Nicaraguan but he didn't try to guess the brand. The 2012 reminded him of a Juan Lopez (Cuban) but the size was wrong and the construction not as good. He'd never smoked a Pueblo before but the snork, that he liked a lot, was so similar that he nearly put them together.

The Media Noche has a fine wrapper that gave me some problems but it gets a pass because of the cold and breeze. The Pueblos held up well against the elements.

[pdq_wizzard]

Iintriqued by that wrapper, yet to smoke one.
How did you like it?
Tasty, good burn. I will be getting a few more, I like my cigars at 65 but my B&M keeps them at 70.

2013 Graycliff Platinum Churchill with an early evening Melita (brand) coffee, light.

These remind me of Gurkha, pretend super premium sticks. Large soft spot, ok leaf and fair smoke. Not quite worth the $3.00 I paid for it.

Ok, I know you expect us to be guessing how far you'll have to walk before someone will buy you lunch.
Might be a fair distance since it's only the top hatted American bankers who smoke cigars.
Right, took a bit to puzzle it out.
You are expecting someone to pony up for the chow in hopes the Bank (yours) will loan him seed money.
Figuring that you"ll be at your stately bankers pace.....40 puffs = 19 feet...
you should be putting the feed bag on after twenty feet, that's my guess.

Gotta agree with AlanS - Jose Padron is a friend of mine as well
Padron '26 - done for Famous Smoke's 75th Anniversary, which I picked up free in the Black Friday specials
Great smoke, glad I have a few more !
