The Cigar Thread. Smoke em' if you got em'.

[CountryGent]

How about a RP and a switchblade?

(Just wrapped up a dumpster-fire of a phone meeting. Oh well, nice cigar now, party at the club tomorrow.)

Micallef Gomez Sanchez Experienca la Crema tonight.

superb cigar, very well built and a 2 hour Churchill even drawing often.

still have 23 more of these and they are still at the top if my list even though it’s a medium body instead of a little fuller stick being my preference.

Gilberto Oliva Reserva corona tonight with a little Woodford Reserve.

Smooth, lighter than I expected it to be... Little over an hours burn.

 

[Joe13]

Gurkha Black Dragon tonight.

Excellent at an inch in so far.

 

[Joe13]

Loved the Black Dragon.

revisiting the Gurkha Titan again tonight. My first experience with it was horrible mostly because of the poor build. This Churchill seems better at least.

 

[shibbershabber]

Tried the Gurkha Status last night.

Not bad, smooth... Draw was too light, like it wasnt rolled tight enough. Burned pretty fast for its size (6.5x52 torpedo)

Still a nice smoke

 

[shibbershabber]

Todays stick...

Gurkha Park Avenue torpedo.

Definitely a budget smoke.
Wrapper was thinner than an onion skin. Draw in the beginning was effortless but the 2nd half was a fight. Smoke was light and unimpressive.

However, flavor wasnt bad and it burned for a little over an hour... Probably would have gone a other 30min but I was getting tired of it.

Ive got a couple more, ill see if this one was a fluke.

 

[shibbershabber]

Got a few sticks to trade if anyone in the area is interested.

I have (4) Gurkha Doble Maduro Gordos (6.5x58)

Too big for my liking, got a 5 pack of them and while its a nice smoke, Im not down with the larger gauges... so these arent going to be smoked.

Looking to trade for similar quality cigars 1:1 or if you have something a little nicer I'd go 2:1

Size? Something like a Corona, Robusto or a Toro, etc. Ill do a torpedo or a belicoso up to a 52RG

Will trade for anything, I enjoy a lighter smoke as much as a full bodied stick.

Also in classifieds... (58) Gurkha Cigars (4) Doble Maduro 6.5x58 | Northwest Firearms - Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming Gun Owners

 

[shibbershabber]

Toraño Noventa to finish the workday...

Courtesy of @Joe13 on the trade.

First time smoking a Toraño, pretty nice. Definitely smoke again. Well built smoke.

 

[OldTengu]

Acid Blondie. Was a freebie. Sweeter than I like, probably won't try again. We'll see.

 

[Joe13]

Gurkha Doble Maduro this morning.

Very much my preferred flavor profile.

That and I like a larger cigar. Been almost hot boxing this thing and it only started to get warm in the last inch.

Thanks for the trade @shibbershabber.

I also really like those Taraño’s.

 

[Joe13]

Doubling up and going straight into a Brick House Fumas Maduro.

pretty good budget stick actually. 5x54

 

[OldTengu]

Another Dirt. I love these things.

 

[shibbershabber]

La Gloria Cubana Maduro at work this morning

Cut short by having to chase transients off the property.....

Wasnt bad... good flavor, nice amount of smoke. Ill finish it after lunch

 

[Joe13]

Had a Don Raphial Mexico blend mid day.

Went with another Gurkha Doble Maduro for this evening.

These things are a perfect size for me (6x60) and put out enough smoke to be considered a small campfire lol.

super smooth though so I love em.

 

[Joe13]

5 Vegas Series A tonight.

Got x10 6”x60’s today and another 10 pack arriving tomorrow so I grabbed one to see how the bigger ones smoked.

I see people advocating to let them acclimate before smoking, dunno if that’s a need or not as this ones not bad straight out of the mailbox. Although the burn is a little uneven.

 

[shibbershabber]

Had an Alec Bradley Tempus the other night.

Started off a little rough and an uneven burn... but half way thru it smoothed out well enough.

Have a Tempus Maduro coming that I'm looking forward to trying.

 

[Joe13]

Again with the 5 Vegas A....

This one sat in the humidor first the last 24 hours and is burning a lot better then the one last night. Ash looks better and no touch ups have been needed.

I guess I’m going to be letting new shipments sit a bit before trying them. Or maybe it was a fluke...

 

[shibbershabber]

Got another couple of fatties to trade off...

Rocky Patel Broadleaf 6x60
and
Gurkha Doble Maduro 6.5x58

Looking to trade 1:1 or whatever.
RG52 or less. Prefer robusto and toro... offer whatever. natural or maduro is fine.

Located in Vancouver

 

[Joe13]

Padilla La Terraza Maduro 6x6 tonight.

Just got them in the mail today and if I knew they were this good I would have ordered 2 boxes instead of 1...


Also got a nice surprise as they tossed in a 5 pack of these on top of the other free stuff
