Whatchu smokin? (cigar thread)

[Giles]

Where do you buy those?

[Dishelveled]

Padron is king kong in my book–never have draw/burn issues and their Anniversary and family reserve lines are deserving of their price.
Aged Fuentes and decent Cubans with some years on them have a place for sure but the draw issues have ruined too many great cigars for me.

Tatuate, My Father, Illusione, and Liga Privada also have space in my 'wine-a-dor'

I get mine from a site called cigars international, which is located relatively close in PA. Previous buying binges have left me with a surplus and I haven't had to buy in a few years though.

@tvenuto:

I did a quick search and didn't see anything, so I figured the cigar aficionados deserved a thread too.

So, what are you smoking now?

I don't get to smoke nearly as much as I'd like, given the generally terrible smoking weather here in MD. But yesterday was nice and I got outside with my old standby: CAO Black (torpedo).  I generally like "natural" or "habano" wrappers, and appreciate larger ring gauges and impeccable construction (prob sounds familiar to people here  ;)).  I like lots of smoke and hate burn/draw issues.  I generally don't like CT shade wrappers (too grassy) or maduros (I get an acrid flavor from them).  Other than that I love trying some new stuff, and hope to get some ideas from you all.

Semi-related, I just suggested an IH cigar ashtray over in this thread, so if that seems like a good idea to you then sound off over there.

I'm also in Maryland @tvenuto, very close to Baltimore. It appears we both like Iron Heart and cigars. Maybe we should meet up! Shoot me a PM if you that is something you would be interested in.

Smoked a delicious 2016 Tatuate's Saints & Sinners club cigar last night.

Beautiful day in MD.  Went to a friends house briefly, long enough for my daughter to play with his…and for the gentlemen to get stinky.  Me: CAO Black, Him: Torano Exodus 1959.  Second pic is what I mean by solid construction, about 1/3 of the CAO is ash and I actually knocked it off before it fell on its own.

Awesome weather for a grill and a smoke. CAO Criollo.

A nice evening in my favorite bar.

Nice selection @cole.  Thanks for the reminder about Latelier…

Tomorrow, a friend from Kentucky is coming down to meet me for a spot of fishing.  If he aint got the Padron I told him bring for me, he may be very unpopular…..

Medicore coffee and a decent cigar to go. Being the only one to post here since a while, I get the feeling I smoke to much.

Ha I've been working on it, my friend. CAO black and Leopold Bros rye while grilling tonight.

[tvenuto]

No pic this time but smoked an Olivia Meliano V that my friend gave me last night.  Paired it with some Elijah Craig Small Batch and some grilled meats. Very enjoyable, great construction and tons of smoke, which I like.

Something from Alec Bradley again.

Nice and toothy.  I'll be tucking into one tonight as well, we'll see what I settle on.
