Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

Had to try out a La Grande Classe. 3 days is almost a week, right?

Subpar presentation, but a really good cigar, IMO. Can definitely tell its made with high quality, aged tobacco. Perfect burn & draw, hay, creamy bakers chocolate, some light pepper on the retro, a nicely balanced medium - medium/full cigar. Very happy I got these now.

Lol. That was a short nap. I agree though. Not mind blowing but really good. For $6 a piece, its fucking beautiful.

Oliva Melanio PC. Got seriously bitter towards the end.

This happened to me too. I assumed it was because I stored it badly.

Smoking my first Tatuaje. This one is a Fausto.

Interesting choice for first tat. If you don't like it don't write off the rest of the line. Lots of tat lovers don't care for the fausto, but lots still do. It seems to be a cigar that people either like or don't. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of middle ground on it.

I was inquiring about some pipe tobacco at a local cigar lounge, and I figured I'd stroll through the humidor. They didn't have a big selection of Tats, so I grabbed this one. Later on I pulled up some info about it. Found out, yeah, it's one of their fuller bodied smokes. Well, I like it!

Ha! So far so good on my end. The one cigar that kicked me square in the nads was a MUWAT. Good god.

Awesome!! Just wanted to make sure you didn't get turned off to what I think is one of the best cigar brands out there! I love most of the stuff Pete puts out, mostly the Miami series (brown labels).

Nat Sherman Timeless (Dominican) - with thanks to CO Smokes. Where have these been all of my life?!?!

 

[javajunkie]

new padilla. torpedo natural. started off ANGRY with spice and strength, settling in at midway. not wowed, but not over yet. this might be a smoke i have am compelled to revisit. good thing i got two. o)

oh, and FWIW, I know this is an oliva joint now, but it does still taste in the padilla wheel house.

Liked the 08 more but maybe that is the resting time difference.

I will definitely try more tats. Any suggestions on other blends?
