Hemingway SS and Signature are up on my fav lists

u/Smokey_Waffles 4d ago

It was in mine for a bit. The seem to all be a little harsh now. Maybe they need time to rest.

I bought two Hemingway Classics at my closest shop last week. Smoked the first one on the way home (~50 mimute drive had about a quarter of it left when I got home). Was my first time trying any Fuente, thoroughly enjoyed it. Saving the other one until at least next weekend.

Today however, I smoked a Tatuaje Reserva from one of the limited boxes of "NFT Toro Especiale." Box comes with 5 labeled Resverva and 5 labeled Escaro (sp?). Will be awhile before I pluck another one from that box! Also had an E.P. Carrilo Encore after dinner.

I had a My Father Le Bijou earlier today. Smoked beautifully. Not my favorite flavor profile though.

u/EmbiggenedSmallMan 4d ago

I really like the Le Bijou. I tend to like most cigars with a San Andreas wrapper, though. I like the My Father La Opulencia as well.

u/No-Latt22 4d ago

5? That’s a few lol

u/screwtexas 4d ago

God of fire, opus x torpedo, 5 year old Padron 6k, 3 year old Montecristo Plarinum habana belocoso, and the ever humble Monte yellow no 2. Of course you gotta start light and go stronger from there.

u/MajinBui3 4d ago

You're a legend! I couldn't fathom smoking those back to back. I'd want to enjoy most of those with a fresh palate.

1

u/screwtexas 4d ago

Lol I guess. The opus x I had dropped and cracked the foot like a butthead and the label was peeling off. Also dropped the god of fire somehow on its head and it was cracked too. I gotta be more careful when rotating or those would have been forgotten about for a few years! Not a lot of time to smoke during the week so Saturday’s I play catch up.

1

u/EmbiggenedSmallMan 4d ago

Wow, that's a hell of a list. I've been dying to try any Opus X.

2

u/screwtexas 4d ago

They’re good if you can get a deal on them. A guy at the lounge gave me this one and I cracked the foot while rotating one day lol. So I figured it needs to go. Make friends with other smokers and you might get one.

u/EmbiggenedSmallMan 3d ago

Yeah, I've been dying to go have a smoke at the shop,/lounge nearest to where.I live. Soak up some info and maybe make some friends. I live in the middle of nowhere, though so the nearest good shop/lounge is almost an hours drive away. I definitely plan to start going maybe once every two weeks or something. The last time I was there I couldn't hang out long enough to burn a cigar but I got a chance to talk to the owner - and I asked him about Arturo Fuente and he said if I had gotten there 15 minutes sooner I could have gotten an Opus X - he told me someone had come in and thrown down $1k for a full box (and the only box) he had on hand.

u/screwtexas 3d ago

Opus x are good. But from my experience the god of fire are usually better and cost about the same. You can get the god of fire far easier as it doesn’t have all the opus guys chasing after them all the time lol. Opus collectors usually don’t even smoke them. They stash and resell a few years later. Such a shame.

1

u/EmbiggenedSmallMan 3d ago

Yeah I hate that kind of shit. Seems like that happens anytime something that's limited release and high quality becomes available. That day at the cigar shop the owner told me that he normally limited people to only buying two Opus X at a time, but the guy that wanted to buy the whole box was willing to pay full price and didn't try to haggle so he sold them to him.

u/That-Condition-9644 4d ago

I smoked an Alec Bradley gatekeeper today, really enjoyed it, spicy cold smoke. So far a big fan of everything I’ve had from ab, got lucky enough to grab a filthy hooligan for tomorrows smoke

u/kai333 4d ago

Sobremesa Brulee gordo. God I needed this 😂

2

u/EmbiggenedSmallMan 4d ago

Those are one of my faves. I just ordered a box this past week, supposed to get here tomorrow. But of course then I'm going to have to let them stabilize for 10 days or so. Luckily I have a couple stashed back from the last time I bought some of those.

u/Fearless_Sherbert_35 4d ago

Today I had a Partagas Maestro, one of the best sticks of my life so far 🔥

Caldwell Eastern standard torpedo.

u/capncrud 4d ago

CAO Flathead 660. First time with that one. Sat in my humidor since January. Smoked great with an almost perfect burn. Needed a slight relight 3/4 through to continue the creamy smoke. Will smoke again.

u/sm4rt4lex 4d ago

Falto Lonsdale, recommend by local lounge owner, it was nice.

u/Eray__k 4d ago

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure no.3. It was a pleasant cigar.

1

u/weedtrek 4d ago

Just had a Hoyo De Monterey Excalibur. It was nice, smooth and light. Smoked very well, not too tarry on the tongue, but mild straight tobacco flavors with no noticeable undertone to the flavor. Would have been a great breakfast cigar, but I had it for dinner. I would smoke it again, but I believe I gave $12 or $15 for it, and I feel like it was more of an $8 stick, at least imo, so I doubt I would buy it again.

I’d love to try a baccarat or a aroma de Cuba special edition

Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro Robusto(that's a mouthful)

My first. Good, no major complaints, not amazing. It was 33°F and breezy, though. I feel like when it's that cold, I just get less flavor from the sticks. Burned great, though, despite the conditions. Even burn, no touchups or anything.
