CIGAR SMOKIN' AND BS

Didn’t know this thread existed! doing some late night garage/tool box organizing and smoking on a new found local companies (Casilla) torpedo.

recently got into cigars and have purchased some samplers from a few places including cigars daily.

 

Bbq’n some chicken and trying this out. Honestly, there’s not much going on. Minimal flavor and hard to keep going with not much smoke output. I have one more to try so hopefully that one is a bit better lol.

 

Have seen this Macanudo online before & was intrigued by the polished aluminum band. It was a pretty creamy smoke, I enjoyed it aside from having to light it a hand full of times.

 

Enjoying the new fire pit and area that the wife and I built. Cigar is a an Acid Blondie Madura. And the whiskey is bullet rye. Pairs very nicely. I’m still not sure if I like the flavored cigars or not. I live the smell they put off lit and unlit, but I don’t like that I have to store them separate from my other cigars. I also hate the sweet flavor it leaves on my lips.

 

They’re my favorite!

 

Papas Fritas and my Ninja Turtles I found while putting boxes up in the attic lol.

 

Small Undercrown while bbq’n chicken over red oak. Tasty little guy. Burn was good and lots of smoke for a tin cigar!

 

Picked up a few good ones today here.

 

Ohh nice that you're in their backyard. I order a few boxes a year from their website.

 

Couple that I enjoyed this last week. Top is the Kentucky fired “swamp thing” and the bottom is the CAO “eileens dream”.

both were very good and I’d recommend them. Both Paired nicely with good ole rye

 

Ive wanted to try that Swamp Thing for awhile! Gona have to add to my next order.

 

New to the scene.. had a couple of different ones..complete newb to cigars.

Acid kuba kuba, tasted good , very light

Acid blondiebelecoso, tasted good, preferred it over kubakuba because of the shape (torpedo). I'd go to this again

Psyko seven. Good. Would try it again.

Undercrown, Maduro. Was strong for me.

Alec Bradley, prensado.. didnt really care for it much

A few others too I forgot their names. Most of these I tried with Singleton 12yr single malt scotch. All of these were V cut

Open to suggestion... seems like I like the flavored stuff...and maybe something shorter on those times I just want a short session


Also they kind of all leave the same taste in the mouth, tongue and similarly the lips (minus the obvious sweet ones, on the lips).

 

just got done some yard work now some me time.

 

I’m a big fan of the psyko 7.
I have a couple of those acids in my humidor but I’m not huge on the Flavored cigars.

 

Whatever this Immortal thing is, it did the job quickly. Plus Canadian whiskey and being up for 24 hrs now

At least I was able to accomplish what I wanted to get done today:swap lens on headlights since the original one I had was hazy, yellow, UV damaged

 

Doing some social spacing at home, forgot the picture of the cigar, as nice montecristo

 

Just bought a few at the local shop along with a couple bottles just in case

 

If your an Alec Bradley fan CI has a good deal right now.

 

Way better then the last Gran Habano I tried. Tasted like Leather, pepper and hay/grass. Held ash like a champ. My hours where cut at the shop till this virus passes so I’ll have more time to enjoy some sticks I’ve had hanging around for awhile.

 

That’s impressive indeed!
