Today's Smoke - 2023

[Capn_Jackson]

Having a Montecristo 1935 #2, that I purchased when I first heard about them in Oct 2021. It’s the only NC Monte I’ve ever cared much for, and a year and a half of rest served this tobacco very well, actually. Getting a lot of medium roast coffee, some bitter chocolate, barbecued meat, and a little sourdough bread. Also some blackberry and cream showed up in the second half.
Coupling with a drink I invented, I’m calling it Funky Buffalo…. 2 oz Buffalo Trace, 1 oz 100% cranberry juice, 1 oz orange juice, and a splash of seltzer water. The citrus and tart are complimenting the cigar very nicely!

I’ve not tried it but what is the “slant” cut supposed to do?

I do it on torpedos, pyramids, or cigars with tapered heads. It gives more surface area to the cut, supposedly helping the draw a little bit. Not always necessary, but sometimes helps. I’ve gotten into the habit of doing it on any cigar with a tapered head. I think some call it the “Dickeman cut.”

It's been about 8 years since I had one of these. Back then I didn't know what the hell I was smoking. I'm glad I revisited this one, cuz it was excellent.
They're made by My Father which I didn't know either.
