r/cigar

The chocolate sensations in the Lusitanias are really something else. There's also pepper and a bit of cedar and coffee grains, but the chocolate intensity is top. On the other side of the pairing is a 12 year old Venezuelan rum, distilled by Santa Teresa, but bottled by Bristol Classics, in the UK at 47% ABV, with no additives or color correction.

Although the Partagas burned really bad, it was by the halfway point where it was under apparent control. Still, it was almost two hours of a great time and I felt less guilty for finishing the bottle.

Starting the day with a nice smoke and coffee with a good book.

Enjoy your weekend!

Then no more!!! … famous last words

I tend to judge cigars with my eyes first so I love good looking bands. I leave them on until the cigars burns to the point I have to take it off. Without the band it feels like any old cigar. I’m sure people will say it’s only the taste that matters, and in the end it does, but I never remove it first. What do you do?

A full-bodied cigar with dominant nutty flavors. I like this cigar.

She is strong but very good

Even the first few puffs of the cigar go down very smoothly. It tastes great with a Guinness.

Someone said this was one of their go to's when I posted a cigar haul good recommendation. I don't want to understate how good this cigar tasted, it was wonderful. But man this thing smelled sooooo good, I don't know if I'd say it's the best cigar I ever had but it would probably be the best smelling cigar I've had.

First one I tried was a siglo 2 and to me they both tasted very much alike and kind of like the smell of manure. Maybe I'm not distinguished enough but these were a letdown.

Are cigars supposed to be love at first taste or more of an acquired taste?

After all the sampling dust has settled, I think I can rule the 2026 CAO Amazon Basin as my go to. Creamy smooth draw everytime. Enjoy your weekend and try one out. Cheers!

Went on a little roadtrip on the bike today and stopped by the local cigar lounge.

Quick and easy smoke with little flavors. There are no harshness to the cigarillos. Retrohale is the same.

Happy fridayz

It doesn’t get much better. That’s barrel - double barrel- 5 yr 100 proof. I’d wish it was stronger
