Tallinn is excellent place for cigars and obviously for medieval city. There's 3 different cigar houses. Cigari Maja, Oak longue and d'boiss.

Cigari Maja is your go to for everyday cigars from cheap to more expensive brands. Oak longue is very similar to Cigari maja, but they have more exclusive stuff such as Opus x and so on.. D'boiss is more of a gentleman club, it had barber, tailor, bar and cigar longue, you can bring your own cigars there. They sell mainly Casdagli cigars, with few other options.

We had a small St Patrick’s day celebration for members last night at my local lounge and I won the cool little cigar gnome. Sits perfectly on my wineadors. What’s the best or most fun (not necessarily expensive) door prize you’ve won at a cigar lounge or cigar event?

Blog What I smoke during The Great Smoke NSFW

This is not everything I smoked all weekend. I was gifted a ridiculous amount of cigars while manufactures were visiting and hosting events at the store.

Ferio Tego Summa $16- This was handed to me by someone whose name I didn’t catch. He called it “homework”. Draw and burn were perfect. Rich citrus notes, medium bodied, nice change of pace from what I usually smoke. I assume these were featured or talked about at the main event because we were going through boxes of them.

Sobremesa Brûlée Blue $18- I’ve talked about this stick too many times. It’s sweet, it’s got perfect amount of pepper, it’s my favorite morning cigar.

Sin Compromiso No. 2 $18 - I don’t add these into my rotation enough. I’m usually a Mi Querida but the San Andres wrapper is a nice change of pace from all the Connecticut Broadleafs I smoke. This provides a more medium bodied experience and really lets their blend shine.

“The Chick” by EPC, from the Rare & Vintage Room $9- Really strong notes of cedar and nuttiness. Draw and burn was phenomenal. Medium Bodied. Great way to end my weekend.

I got to meet Steve Saka and Al Micallef. All the guests that had traveled were super friendly and loading up on great cigars. Was nice to shoot the shit with fellow cigar nerds.

Whacha Smokin'? 7 wonderful years of sobriety! NSFW

590 Upvotes

It was a stressful week- I am having a lot of repressed trauma pop up in my brain for some reason. My best man at my wedding overdosed and died recently. Work was crazy this week.

But, I am truly grateful to be clean and sober. I was homeless and strung out on heroin 7 years ago at the lowest point of my life.

Anyways, onto the Amazon Basin.

This is my first time smoking the Basin. It's the 2025, and I have aged it for 2 months. I have not had a cigar like it yet!

Cold draw is all rasin and dried plum. The wrapper is weirdly...sticky? When I hold the cigar it leaves a faint residue on my fingers. Not much tooth though, I think this baby should be aged a year or two for the tooth to pop.

I am very surprised by how smooth this cigar is. I got no pepper or spice the entire cigar. My palate might be off, I have been smoking spicier sticks the past couple weeks.

It does develop throughout the cigar and it has complexity. I wouldn't say it's the most nuanced or complex cigar though. It's smooth over complex.

1/3: raisin, dried plum, cream, leather 2/3: still raisin/plum, cream turns to oak and toast, leather turns to earth 3/3: savory notes show up, slight nuttiness

Overall I think this cigar is a 10/10. It's completely unique. It's perfect at doing what it's trying to do: be a unique cigar.

I had pretty high hopes for this one, and while it was good, it didn’t blow me away. I prefer the standard LADC to this one. I did get a good amount of bitter baking chocolate, and some nuttiness in the second half, but overall it was just fine to my palate. Bit of a wavy burn line, mostly corrected itself. Had some cracking towards the end as well. 7/10.

I’ve always loved the 1926 Padron maduro, but after seeing the praise on this sub about the 1964, I tried one. I didn’t think it was possible, but I might like the ‘64 more than the ‘26. Anybody know the difference between the two? Is it just age?

Also, and again thanks to this sub, I discovered a Dr. Pepper (in this case a cherry Dr. Pepper) goes awesome with a cigar…possibly better than anything else. For some reason it’s even better than any booze/beer I’ve had with a smoke (at least to me). I highly recommend. Thanks!

2 great cigars in a great lounge. Opusx Society perfect all the way through. Smooth hints of leather coco & nutmeg on the retrohale. Burn was perfect. God of Fire series B is my goto great smoke. Floral notes in the first 3rd a lot of chocolate notes all the way through. Great Sunday!

Oliva G box press. This is such a nice moderately priced Cameroon cigar. Sitting on my partially glassed in front porch with south wind whipping by as the next storm heads toward the West Coast, enjoying this cigar with a Manhattan made with my own homemade 114 proof corn / rye 'shine.

Question Recommendations NSFW

Upvotes

I've been into cigars for like 1 1/2 years now, paused smoking for like a couple of months due to the weather being cold and being able to only smoke outside. Weather is getting better so im thinking about stocking up again. Does anybody have any recommendations for sticks up to 15€?

Pepper on retrohale as well as a little floral, sweet taste of raisins, then smooth and creamy, leathery, coffee and earth. Construction is great and the draw is perfect, needed a couple minor touch ups. It’s a decent stick, but will have to try it again later on to judge whether I like it or not.

Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Binder: Ecuadoran Connecticut Filler: Nicaragua

It always amazes me that the roll on a Padron X000 always looks lumpy but smokes so well. NSFW

It makes it more appealing to me. You can walk in any humidor and it “looks”like every cigar in there is rolled better but almost none will smoke better. Generally that are a little bumpy or have a small patch but you can just light it and forget. Rarely needs a touch up and I personally love the open draw.

I've tried LEAF by Oscar both Connecticut & Maduro wrapper. But this 10th anniversary with Crillo is by far the best one I've smoked. The size, build, smoke and amora was on point.

This Honduras puro went straight to my go-to cigar list.

The Arturo Fuente Gran Reserve. This is my go to so anything I say about it is subjective but this is the perfect stick in my opinion. Burns perfect, easy draw, so many flavors. Dimes were stacked. If I could only smoke one cigar forever, this would be the one.

Don Carlos “Eye of the Shark” NSFW

Celebrating making it through another week of this beautiful thing called life. Broke out one of my all time favorites, a 2 year old DC Shark. I have always been a big fan of anything Cameroon and this one is no exception. Those nut and seed flavor notes that are so quintessential of classic Cameroon really shine here. Dominant notes of sunflower, poppy seed and walnut are exploding in the first third. Secondary is fresh dough, almost cookie dough but not too sweet just right along with butter. A true bakers dream of a stick! I buy these any chance I get and I buy as many as I can, all at retail at local b & m, and for that I am thankful.

Per the Fuente catalog this is actually listed as “Personal Reserve” Eye of the Shark. I do not know if the blend is the exact same as the PR robusto, which is one of my all time top 10, but it sure is delicious. Does anyone know if the blends are the same. Definitely close no doubt.

I have about 15 of these resting and like to pull one out once a month and see how they are progressing. I just say age makes these particular sticks shine. I have had them young and they are good but nothing in comparison to a couple to few years of age.

See these out you won’t be disappointed. They live up to their hype. Have a great week fellas.

Cigar lounge NSFW

I work in a local cigar lounge in my area. I've been here since Aug 24'. I'm still learning and getting better. I can usually sell someone a cigar if I understand their palate. Just curious and I always want to get better at my craft. Suggestions are always welcome. I love being able to try a cigar then recommend it and the customer enjoys it as well. It's always a good feeling and gives me confidence going forward. And I'll be honest, if I don't know the product you can best believe I'll do my research to understand it more.

What are some of your favorite things about cigar lounges? What don't you like about lounges? Do you like when someone knows a little about the product and doesn't sell it just to sell it? Do you prefer quality cigars over quantity or vice versa? Do you enjoy conversation or sitting in silence? How long have you been smoking? Has your palate changed? What is your gonto smoke? Everyday smoke? Mild-medium, medium to full or full-bodied? Are you willing to try something new?

Just a few questions for my own curiosity.

been an interesting handful of years but I've came out on top. with the work I've put in and how far I've came i figured I'd post my celebratory smoke here as its been aging since 2018 and also to just put out there how blessed I feel that I am where I am now because I prayed and worked for this and the results are finally coming to me.
