What Stick Are You Suddenly Reaching For?

[jonnylieberman]

Was just thinking about the fact that I've been reaching for two sticks more and more lately, and one brand in particular.

Roma Craft Fomorian (green wrapper/candela)
Crowned Heads Headley Grange Corona Gorda

Can't get enough of either one. Also, I had a Roma Craft Breuil this morning, and might be feeling the same way. My taste buds have been pointing to Roma Craft lately.

Anyhow, just wondering which stick or sticks have been floating y'all's boats lately.

If it's not a Cuban, its a corojo lately.

Gurkha Beast because @ChefBoyRG54 is my hero.

 

[Iholmes]

This is a trap!!
Just kidding Jonny, I like that headley grange

 

[Shmokey]

Tatuaje this, Tatuaje that.

Ive been smoking a bunch of the 7th Capa Especiale lately but the red label, brown label and especially any reserva will do me just fine. I would have said Headley Grange but I have no more for the time being ;(

You raise a key point. @ChefBoyRG54 is low on Ghurkas in general and Beasts in particular.

I am a huge RomaCraft fanboy but haven't grabbed one in a bit. Trying to go through some of the gifted smokes I have been given and dealing with health issues so my Roma's (and all my sticks) have been neglected. Lately I have been all over anything wrapped in broadleaf... Now that you have reminded me, I will be sure to smoke something Roma next. Probably a pre-band CroMag Knuckle Dragger cause they are just too damn good.

Lately when I know I will likely smoke I grab an Opus x #4 or #5

I've heard tales of these pre-banded guys...

Good question. Lately a lot of CC's and Warped. Loving the Las Brumas FDV as well as the Sky Flower.

I have been smoking a lot of lances in general lately. Really burned through my Swag lances oddly......

I haven't had a lot of time on my hands lately so I have been going to smaller sticks for the most part. I have been going through Bait Fish and guerilla warfare. When I have time for a good long smoke though I seem to be grabbing something CH. The Headley Grange most of the time.

I generally try to keep a large mix in my rotation - I'm always reaching for something different and I rarely smoke the same thing twice in a few days time span.

That said, I've been experimenting with more CC's, Warped, and Crowned Heads lately, and smoking the hell out of some little 5x40 NC Hoyos that I bought for a short smoke.

 

[ChiefIlliniwek]

I don't really have a rotation. I've also been trying to smoke through the singles that I've received in trades. I'm also trying to smoke a lot of my cheapies. My goal is to get all of the La Perla Habanas (1 left) and the 5 Vegas (far too many of these) type stuff out of my humidor.

 

[Iholmes]

Are you talking about the sabrosos?

 

[Senor Perfecto]

Anejo 888

The NC Hoyos - yes, the sabrosos. I smoked a lot of NC Punch and Hoyo when I first got into cigars, then kinda forgot about them for a while as I was always reaching out for something new, but I still go back to them every now and then and the sabrosos go really well with my morning coffee.

I do love the premium smokes, and I love getting my hands on a new stick to see for myself what it's all about, but I don't want to smoke something fancy every time I light up - sometimes it's nice to just have a smoke and not think about how special/rare/expensive it is or how much I'm supposed to be enjoying it based on ratings/reviews/popularity. So the common brands and "budget" smokes have a place in my humi, as I do enjoy them, and I think that they help me appreciate the really good stuff even more.

I can usually find them at local spots still. Pm me and I will get something out to you.

Two sticks JD Howard Reserve & The Leaf by Oscar.

I have been hooked on the Assylum Insidious, mild with a hint of sweetness. Normally not into the sweetened caps but I am really enjoying this cigar. I also been craving the Nat Sherman Host/ Host Maduros.
