Cigar /Pipe Smoking thread

Yep. Original blend. Look forward to reading your review.

Through the first third I’ll agree with you on the construction and even burn. My impressions so far are mostly woody, cedary. I did get the big pepper blast you mentioned on first few draws and retrohale, otherwise mild and not tons of smoke.

Nearly through middle third, I appreciate the even burn. Smoke production has improved thru the middle to what I would expect from a Gordo(6x60). Still woody but detecting something cinnamony or almond.
Setting up for a nice finish.

That’s a wrap. I’m not a huge fan of lighter wrappers but this is an enjoyable smoke. To me, it’s mild to medium. I’m glad I ate something first and even so, I did get a slight nicotine buzz. Was a little harsh on the finish but good. Smoke time a little over an hour to hour and a quarter.

Good ole Oliva V double robusto out of the Tino and the LCA Purple People Eater stacking dimes.

On the tractor this beautiful day.

This is my first cigar in quite a while. Been aging in the humidor for at least a year with a little peach Crown Royal/water providing the moisture.

The first two robustos that I smoked did as I described, but the one I’m smoking this afternoon lacked the previous pepper and nicotine blast upon lighting. It’s drawing well and medium to medium full in flavor and body.

Haven’t had one of these in a while. I hope y’all are having as great a day as we are here in NKY. Sunny and 56 but feels warmer.

It’s warmed up to 47 degrees, and the wind chill makes it feel like 40. Time for a cigar on the porch.

La Gloria Cubana Serie R Black. A construction and consistency note mess with less than a month of rest imo. Mellows out but delivers some punch. This one has been in my Herf for a year. Patience pays.
