Soberiquet Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Pretty much a cigar newbie, only smoke a couple times a year, but I am having one for Father's Day. I am really enjoying an AJ Fernandez Last Call Maduro paired with HH 6yr green label while looking at the stars. I always find this bourbon shines with a cigar. It is a really nice night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 My Father Flor de las Antilles to start the weekend. Kind of an odd burn, and started out a bit hot, but what a great smoke this stick has evolved in to. Chewy, nutty, and settling in to a great pairing with a chocolaty pour of Larceny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurgalunas Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 So I consider myself a cigar rookie, even though I've enjoyed a good smoke for a number of years. I dont smoke except for special occasions, like a fishing or hunting trip, so I'm still learning what I like and dont. Hard to fine-tune with 6 cigars a year... Recently decided to get serious about refining my tastes. We have pretty good cigar companies in KC, so I ventured in to expand my selection. Today, while mowing the acreage, I took a break to smoke an A Fuente Gran Reserva with some RR10 and HWDR finished in MWND barrels. Enjoyed the cigar and whiskey and plan to continue sampling. Only complaint was that I only had a knife to cut the head and the wrapper unraveled. Seemed like I had a easy way to solve the lack of a cutter, but it fell apart easier than it should have...

Knilas Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Agreed. I think they need to whoa back on the quantity and start focusing more on quality.

So many more consistently quality smokes out there that I have no need to suffer with a crap stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDanner Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Last night I had a Gurkha Typhoon (a 4X60 Nub knockoff/competitor). It was VERY good. Paired nicely with some WT101. If you like the Nubs, give this one a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I really enjoyed this cigar tonight. Paired with HMcK10 and a pleasant summer evening in the swing. It's on the short list for my trip to Canada in October. Edited August 26, 2018 by gurgalunas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDanner Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 A well aged stick from Bull City Cigars (now known as Amendola Family Cigars) out of Durham NC. Pardon the intrusion of the Rum in Straight Bourbon Land (Kill Devil from Outer Banks Distilling in Manteo NC). Just experimenting with a different pairing tonight.

Razer91 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 First cigar in a long while. A Velvet Rat from the Liga line. Burns quickly and is milder than a typical Liga privada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
