The Cigar Thread ( reviews, and fun)

[FreeRyde]

Smoked another Cohiba Classic. I know they are over played slightly. But damn, thats an amazing smoke.

601 Event at Casa Belicoso this Wednesday at 6pm.

 

[Diezel]

Man I wish they'd do a Saturday event.

In any event, I have 30 churchill's showing up tomorrow, and some humidor supplies..... And so the stash building begins. :toothless

 

[FreeRyde]

I've smoked a few Nubz over the last few months. VERY impressed.

 

[ASAblue]

OK....looking for a new smoke...

I have been only smoking 3 types of cigars and all are robusto's as they last about an hour and that is the perfect timing for me.
1. Cabiguan #24
2. Rocky Patel Conneticut
3. Ashton Herigate

Suggestions?

 

[Ratters]

Tatuaje Havana VI Hermosas. Though I prefer the Angeles (corona) size.

Camacho Corojo

Rocky Patel Edge Sumatra

Joya de Nicaragua Cabinetta

 

[Diezel]

Mmmm Kuba Kuba.... Not a recommendation, just enjoying one at the moment.

 

[Bamm Bamm]

lately Kuba Kuba's have been my favorite's there very tasty... usually I smoke CAO CX2's

 

[Diezel]

I would have to say my absolutely favorite cigar, is the Acid Atom Maduro. You never ever see them on sale online in a 5 pack, or sampler. Bastids.....

I'd have to say my top 5 are:

Acid Atom Maduro
Acid Kuba Maduro
Acid Kuba Kuba
Tatiana Mocha Eden
Tabuk Especial Negra

Gee, can you tell I like infused maduro wrappers... :toothless

 

[weak_link]

Can't do the flavored cigar thing myself but more for you guys. :teeth

 

[Diezel]

Don't get me wrong. I have many other non-infused favs too. But the ones I listed are my top 5.

I love me some Gurkha, RP, CAO's too. In fact, I think I've only met 2 cigars that I didn't like.

 

[Ratters]

The funny thing is the more you smoke the more your palate gets much more particular and you find there's less you like. There are smokes that I loved four years ago that would be unsmokeable to me now. But as this happens, you get a deeper appreciation for the smokes you do like. It's actually an enjoyable journey.

 

[Diezel]

Oh I'm sure. I've caught myself twice now, by trying a particular type of cigar 2 or 3 times before I write it off.

I've noticed, my mood greatly affects what I'm ok with smoking at that time.

 

[Ratters]

Yep, that is very true.

Revisted my box of 2008 Trinidad Reyes this morning on my way to work and wow, these things have really taken a turn for the better. :thumbup

Just smoked one yesterday that was from an 09 batch. The caramel really popped out I noticed from resting.

Anyone know where I can get a few opus x at? My buddy has given me literally close to $1k in cigars in the last couple years but he's only had 1 opus x and said it's hands down his favorite so I wanna get him like a 5 for his bday in a few weeks

You can get em online or at local brick and mortar shops. A box of 10 can run a few hundred bucks depending on the stick.

Casa Belicoso in Walnut Creek sometimes has them, as well as Mission Pipe in Pleasanton. I think they are usually released around father's day and the New Year so there might not be a lot left on the shelves right now. Worth making a few calls before you drive though.

Coolidor here also. Cheap, easy, alot of room and easy to expand. Cooler+heartfelt = win

New sticks that came in. Need to marinate for a while but am gonna smoke a panetela out of the box right now with my coffee.
