pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?

[gomeitsmybday]

Wow I had a Drew Estate Nica Rustica Toro last night and it was a complete stunner! Copious amounts of smoke, I mean really the smokiest cigar I've had in a while! And STRONG too, luckily I had just eaten an enormous meal before I lit it, otherwise I would have probably been in trouble! Which is saying something, as I'm able to smoke 601 La Bombas with relative ease...

I think I read somewhere before (I think on this forum maybe?) that Drew Estate soaks the leftover leaf and stem and then sprays that concentrate back on to some of their tobacco, as to produce a smokier, fuller bodied smoke. I must admit, if true, that kind of upsets the tobacco purist within me, however it's not like it's flavoring - and if it leads to a far more intense smoking experience, then hot damn! Spray away!! (Yeah, yeah, I know.) Besides, for me there is a time an a place for everything, (except flavored cigars) including an extra strong Frankenstogie now and then! :tu

JFR Lunatic Habano Short Robusto - Love this cigar, thanks to Tio Gato for sending me a few of these a while ago, I liked them enough that I recently ordered more! If any of you are fans of Casa Fernandez's other stuff and haven't tried this one? Do yourself a huge favor and do so!

AJF Bellas Artes Toro (spell correct suggested Bella's Artie, I was inclined to stick with that)
Okay so this is 4/5 of a 5er I snagged online a while back, I think I can safely pass judgement at this point....pleasant stick, starts out with some intense flavorful pepper, but quickly mellows out to a general caramel base with occasional floral accents and a hint of pepper here and there. Solid medium body to start and ramps up to medium full about 1/3 the way in...very pleasant, but not particularly interesting to me. AJ has far more interesting cigars in his collection imo so unlikely I'll be buying more. :2

New World Connecticut - one of my favorite Connecticut's, puts the Undercrown Shade to shame imho :sl

@ kelmac07 that is a pretty cool looking Romacraft! And I had a few of those Rambo Guardians last summer, they were very nice...almost want to say I might have preferred them to the Apollo...

There is no better connie than Undercrown!!

[gomeitsmybday]

There is no better connie than Undercrown!!

Haha just saw this - I agree the Undercrown Shades are good! But for my taste, just not great....I mean they nail the traditional Connecticut profile very well, but if I'm going to smoke a CT I'd prefer that it have a little more....flair? To date I think probably the most interesting CT I've had is the My Father CT, and I honestly can't remember why - I just know I made a mental note that I like it more than most other CTs, so I'll be revisiting that one! :D

La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amore Reserva Maximo .. one of my go to cigars lately.

Tonight ...

An old God of Fire Carlito that’s been in my humidor since 2008. Maybe after 11 or so years, I’ll like it better. My buddy back then was smoking them constantly and I guess I had a few in the back drawers. There’s a little wrapper damage but at the foot so shouldn’t be an issue after a few minutes lit.

Alec Bradley Coyol Toro - Been smoking on a 5er I got of these recently, and it's definitely a winner! It would be nicer if it was stronger than just a medium body, it's really spicy and has a lot of interesting floral notes to it. Recommended, particularly as an AM smoke with coffee.

CigarFed Love Potion - been wanting to try this one for a while....fun size to smoke, and nice flavors. Reminds me of another blend but I can't quite put my finger on it. Somewhere between medium/medium-full bodied. I'd recommend picking these up if on sale!

AJF Last Call Toro - I knew I would like this one as I've enjoyed other last call sizes before but holy smokes am I glad I picked these up (unfortunately LE from Atlantic)
Somehow it maintains all the intensity of the smaller last calls, while also complimenting the blend....I think it just gives you more time and more smoke to appreciate the nuances..probably one of the best cigars I've had this year, no joke...just wishing I had picked up more of these before they sold out. :(

CF JFR XT Corojo Toro -

Been wanting to try these since really liking the JFR Lunatics, I *think* the only difference is the Habano vs Corojo wrapper, but don't quote me on that...
Body is a pretty solid medium until last 1/2 and ramps up to about a medium-full...flavor is also more on the medium side, with a profile of initial pepper, then a signature Casa Fernandez earthy nutty/peanut note that lasts the entire duration of the cigar, so pleasant, but not terribly complex. Maybe a little creamier the last 1/3....
All in all was not as impressed with this as I was with the Lunatics...I have some more to smoke but as it stands for now (and it stands tall), I don't plan to buy more.

L'Atlier LAT 5....6? No maybe 52...I forget!

Smoked that funky cold Medina this morning...I'd seen some folks whose preferences seem to align with mine smoke the LATs quite often so decided to give them a spin.
It was nice, immensely creamy, in fact probably one of the creamiest cigars I've smoked, but otherwise the profile left me rather underwhelmed. Still a nice cigar, undoubtedly, but I don't see myself going out of my way to get more. I still have 4 left though, so maybe my initial impression could be swayed.

Picked up 10 of these about a year ago after reading a lot about them....they definitely have an interesting history and there are clearly many fans of this cigar...buuuut i don't think I'm among them. I do, however, like the strength, and at times I can appreciate *some* of the notes in the profile, but overall it maintains a floral-sweetness that is rather off-putting to me.
Would I smoke one if it were offered to me?
Sure....
Would I buy and age a box?

Just finished the one you sent me Michael! Thanks so much!! Ash lasted half the stick! It was good enjoyed the strength but I think I agree with you on id smoke more but not a box. For me it was okay first third and half way through the second it got a good notch in flavor which brought up my ranking on it and lasted through the last third! Thanks again! Lasted a hour and 45 minutes or so.

[4WheelVFR]

I like the Antano, but I wish it were more consistent. I've had some that are excellent and more than a few that were meh. I did order some new Antano CT's though, so I hope those are good.

AJF New World Cameroon Torpedo - first off, this cigar seems more narrow than it should be, but personally I like that, I'm not a fan of larger ring gauges that are longer than traditional robustos.
Had this resting for about 1.5 months which has proved sufficient, but I'd recommend letting it rest 2-3 months if you get any for yourself.
Peppery start, then a familiar New World profile follows, accented by notes of wood, caramel & spice. Pretty much a textbook Cameroon, in other words. Lacks the sophistication of the original New World Oscuro imo. I'll be revisiting this one in another month or so.

Dunbarton Umbagog Toro - I read this was named for being too ugly, but the wrapper looks beautiful to me! Personally, I think they named it after what you say when you see a beautiful woman walk past you! (Thanks folks - I'll be here all week, please remember to tip the staff...)
Back to the point, the Umbagog is great. Definitely more on the medium side of medium-full, if it was only a little stronger I'd think it was an ace. That said it is immensely flavorful and if you like the Mi Quierda (supposedly a similar blend) then you'll love this one, they are absolutely similar. So yeah I'd recommend this stick, but if you are a full bodied smoker I'd definitely plan on saving these for a breakfast smokes only.

601 La Bomba Toro - dry boxed this one for a day or so, as I keep my rh too high for a La Bomba to be ready to smoke right out of the Coolidor...bold and peppery, the kind of cigars action movie heros & and Ernest Hemingway would have smoked...or written about smoking anyway...
While I do love this cigar, it's so damned strong that I'll be regretting smoking it tomorrow morning, when I'm barely able to taste my breakfast cigar...but hey I'm sure there's some poignant quote about sacrifice...that I could quote....but I won't - because I'm too busy enjoying this cigar. :tu

Cigar Federation Leche de Mama Maduro - I snagged up a bunch of these because I loved the original Leche de Mama so much and I knew they would sell out. They always sell out.
Great cigar! Creamy as one would expect, earthy - with a hint of sweetness but not too much which is preferred. Immense smoke billows off the foot a lot like the Nica Rusitca. Matter of fact, it smells a lot like the Nica Rustica but it tastes absolutely different.
A spectacular cigar, I will buy more whenever they restock them, but if I'm being totally honest, I do prefer the original Leche de Mama to the Maduro.

Casa Fernandez Aganorsa Leaf Toro - this has been a finicky one for me, really delicate wrapper and they burst on me a couple times last year in the wintertime. Been experimenting with even lower RHs on some of my NCs and it seemed to have done the trick with this one, not a single crack! Plus, flavors were much more defined and clearer. Still a ton of pepper on this one, but far less rough around the edges. Great smoke!

What did you think of the 2019 Las Calaveras, Dave? I've only had the '18s and '19s, but prefer the '18s by a good measure.

I only had one of the 18’s as well and think it qualified as an LE. The 2019 seems to me to just be a good cigar but nothing special about it so I agree with you. The 19 gets my buy it online and on sale recommendation which is fortunately how I got my box hah.

[icehog3]

Thanks Dave. :tu

B&M still had a couple open boxes of '18s last time I stopped by, I'll probably grab a handful if they still have them next time I'm there.

Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Robusto - I remember really liking these so I picked up a box recently and man am I glad I did! Like eating cocoa pebbles in cigar form - okay so maybe not THAT much but the only more cocoa-y cigar that comes to mind is the RP Royale. Slow and even burn on this one too, all around a great cigar. :tu

That's a good comparison, James.

I do like them, but at this point enjoy the Long Live the King line much better. I've also had the Kill the King and Eastern Standard lines, and have a couple more enroute. Haven't smoked a bad Caldwell yet. :tu

Smoked an Opus tonight....don't know the vitola offhand...perfection #5 I think? Unremarkable for the most part, but yet a pretty nice smoke. Had some fruity notes in the middle (cherry or raisins I think) that were very nice, but they were fleeting. Had those fruity notes shown up a little more it would've been phenomenal.

Dunbarton Umbagog Toro - this is a nice one, buttery and savory with lots of spice but as I recall it's a little pricey for what it is. Definitely would get more at a discount but otherwise might be better to pony up a few more bucks for top of the line Dunbartons.

L'atelier 54 - great construction, burns nice but blend is rather uninspiring imo. Cream, honey, occasional butter with white pepper accent and never really switches up from that. Not bad for a morning cigar but I don't plan on getting more.

Sinistro Mr. Red maduro presidente

Beautiful oily wrapper; tight construction (recommend a guillotine cutter on this one); slightly uneven burn line; medium body and flavor.

[gomeitsmybday]

@ mjcujo definitely a nice wrapper on that Sinistro! Coincidentally, I've been eyeing the Sinistro brand lately. Haven't smoked any yet, but I read a stellar review about "the last cowboy" recently and considering checking that one out, preferably in the corona size.
Have you tried that blend before by chance?

CAO La Traviata Maduro Corona - while CAO might not be a favorite brand of mine overall, the La Traviata has always been a reliable, *immensely* flavorful cigar. Definitely under the radar and I think that's intentional - because the cigar can definitely speak for itself.

Aladino Corojo Reserva - super potent corojo. Call me crazy (and I would agree with you) but I think I actually prefer the CLE Corojo more than this one. Both are very nice but this one is almost a bit too peppery and the CLE Corojo just has more flavor. I would be interested in trying the original Aladino Corojo as well someday to see how it compares to the Reserva.

@ James yeah I can't decide which I like more between the green and blues, just kind of depends on what mood I'm in! I actually haven't tried the reds yet but I have a 5 pack that's getting pretty close to fully rested so I'm looking forward to trying them soon!

Warped La Hacienda Robusto Extra - been resting a box of these for 1.5 months and could wait no longer!! Love this blend, really creamy and has a lot of unique vegetal and mineral notes within the cream. Great morning cigar.

AB Magic Toast Robusto - okay this is an interesting one....not picking up much pepper but it is a very rich cigar. Slow even burn and very savory notes. Another that I would like to review at length eventually, once they've had some more rest and I, a cleaner palate. Check this one out if you are on the fence about it, it's a winner.

I picked one up at my B&M a few months ago and quite enjoyed it. So I grabbed a box off CBID.

I'm having a Caldwell All Out Kings Robusto now.

I'd recommend this to anyone that likes full bodied karate-kick cigars (Weelok, if you see this - definitely give them a try). I'll be buying a box in the future for sure. :tu

Casa Fernandez Arsenio Maduro Robusto - been eager to try this one, have had it resting about a month and a half and while it's enough to get an idea of the blend, I think I'll leave the remaining 4/5 to sit a while longer. Peppery and leathery with an even burn and medium-full body. Cap was a little sloppily adhered but it's still a nice cigar!

[The camaro show]

Drew estate Norteno, wasn’t bad but not great tons of smoke like all drew estates but found the flavors weak and mild. I’d give it medium bodied at best.

601 Steel Toro - aptly named, this is what I think many would refer to as a pepper bomb. Some nice buttery floral notes but really rough around the edges. Like 601 Greens less sophisticated cousin with a lengthy criminal record and questionable genetics.

Aganorsa Leaf Signature Selection Belicoso - love this cigar, I bought this 5er while I already have a box of these in Toro in the coolidor for the longer term. I get a lot of the same notes from a lot of the other cigars under the Aganorsa umbrella, so if you like any of those, I'd recommend grabbing at least a 5er of these. :su

601 Red Habano Robusto - my first time getting around to trying this one, and another home run for 601 imo. Only medium body so not as strong as other 601s but what a flavor profile. I'd read somewhere someone claimed this cigar had a lot of notes in common with a RASS and honestly? I'd have to agree. Of course not identical, but it has a lot of that spicy creamy fruit that I've noted in the RASSs I've had in the past. I'd definitely recommend this one!

Okay so these are kind of in backwards order...

DPG Series JJ Maduro - having this one for breakfast and it's really nice! I think these would do well with some long rest in the humidor

Dunbarton Sin Compromiso Espada - this was the last cigar of saturday, and it was a doozy. Wonderful notes of damp earth early on then lots of milk chocolate later, smoked that one to the nub. Pricey but very very nice.

Stolen Throne Crook of the Crown Robusto - has this one mid day on Saturday, powerful pepper on this one, almost made me sneeze a few times. A kaleidoscope of flavors, too many of them to note individually. I think this one could be an *incredible* cigar with some aging. I'll be buying more, especially if on sale.

Man O’War Damnation torpedo. Nabbed a box of 20 at Cbid. Pretty good smoke with oak and spice, but there are better AJ cigars

[gomeitsmybday]

@ Josh yeah they are great but can be powerful! The Neanderthal line comes to mind, intense gritty earthy cigar with a Street Fighter style uppercut of nicotine.

@ Bart Agreed, kind of how I feel about most of the Diesel line. Have you had the AJF Ramon Allones? After 6-8 months of rest in the humi they are awe inspiring cigars. Really impressed how much they've refined in such a short amount of time. I'm hoping to score another box as soon as I see a decent sale somewhere.

Warped La Hacienda Robusto Extra - love this cigar with my morning coffee...not sure if I was unlucky and grabbed a box with extra tight draws but I've had to use my PerfecDraw tool to fix every cigar I've pulled from my current box.

CLE Corojo Corona Gorda - decider to go with this beauty this gross, snowy slushy Ohio morning. Hey does anyone know if this label is the new or old one for CLE? I could swear I've seen these in a red/white band and it not sure which is the new one? I ask because this specific batch of CLE Corojos were ordered as 5-10 packs and unsure of the date but they taste aged. Freaking spectacular blend btw, one of my favorite corojos to date, hands down.

Btw, I'm definitely rusty on the old "espanol" but doesn't gorda mean fat? From what I can tell, most corona gordas are just longer as opposed to being fatter. So...if my highschool...hrm- escuela espanol is correct, shouldn't it be corona larga? I think which would mean long(er) corona? Just comida for thought... :)

AB Post Embargo Robusto - okay so this is my 3rd or 4th out of a 10er and I can tell this is very nice tobacco, when I get a good puff I get lots of vanilla & honey but - these burn like damp newspaper, even after lowering these to 58-60 rh. I suspect maybe with some age the burn could be better, but when I buy an AB, I generally expect them to smoke well after a short rest. Definitely will not buy again.
