Cigar Today, Anyone?

I enjoyed a Perla Del Mar maduro on the way to work today. I have also been smoking my way through a Thompson's 50 toro sampler.

 

Connecticut wrapper, 6x60

 

I tend to stick with something once I find something I like. I was stuck on Leaf by Oscar, but it's been out of stock lately. In its absence it was suggested I try Esteban Carreras Chupacabra Maduro, and I've found my happy place with it. It is fairly priced and a very, very nice smoke. Paired with Henry McKenna 10 Year Single Barrell Bottled In Bond Bourbon, I have found my perfect nightcap, and I am enjoying the pair as I type this. Higly recommended by yours truly.

Nice hefty stogie. I like Comancho with their creative mixture of long leaf tobacco.

 

That was my first Camacho in years. Spicy, a little leather/graphite and sweet wrapper, also surprisingly smooth.

 

The wrapper is probably where the spice comes from. Sounds like you had a good blend. The good life.

 

You think the "peppery" was wrapper?

(I am primarily a smoker of straight Virginia and Navy tobaccos from a pipe)

 

Yep, typically peppery taste comes from the wrapper, but not a maduro or dark colored wrapper.

 

No pic, but Sunday I had an Avo Uvezian Robusto in natural. Very smooth snd rich, almost creamy smoke.

 

What flavors are associated with Maduro wrapper leaf?

 

Y'all make me want to buy a stogie this weekend.

 

Avo’s are known for being mild and creamy. A very good breakfast cigar.
Edit: Cuesta Rey 1884 is another creamy cigar

 

Maduro wrappers provide an earthy flavor with a bit of sweetness

 

Quorum Robusto (4.75x50) Maduro

 

That was a GREAT smoke for $3.59 at a B&M retailer.

 

I dig Robusto and Toro sizes.

What are yours?

 

i like the small clint eastwood type cigarellos.. wintermans cafe creams etc..
